Freebird Burritos

I disagree with the previous reviewer. I think freebird is a godsend to London! Here’s one food stand. you can get a good tex mex burrito: choice of pinto or black beans, pork beef chicken or veg and guac extra. The burrito makers are friendly even in freezing cold. I prefer this over chipotle any day!

Yet another burrito place pops up in London since I was away! I initially saw Freebird on Liverpool street, but everyone I worked with said Chilango or Tortilla was better. Now that Chilango isn’t an option since our move to Regent St, I thought I’d give it a try.
I have to say, I found this rather bland. I didn’t get a lot of meat (compared to anywhere else) and the pork I did get wasn’t as well seasoned (compared to Chilango where there marinades are heavenly). I went fajita style; veg instead of beans; but it was mostly slimy onions that tasted of nothing in particular.
I did make a good choice in the «smokey medium» salsa; it made it more interesting; but rival locations offer far better flavour without relying on a choice of sauce. It wasn’t enough to save a 2 star review — I have indeed had better.
In summary, I am disappointed, and will have to travel further afield for a mexican flavour fix. I wish these never ending burrito places offered something different, but in the end the Moroccan wrap place at the stall beside Freebird is far more interesting and better value.
