Freebird Burritos, Soho, London

I was previously a fan however after visiting recently I found my Burrito to be very average, quite greasy and not particularly warm, not impressed. I’ll be going to Benito’s hat in future

Really one of the best Burritos I have ever eaten. I should know it best, since I am mexican. Tastes like mamas! I droped by after a London Trip, before it goes back to the airport. Just loved it! First adress if you are in London and like mexican food!

Pretty decent burritos at a reasonable price. They popped up on Goodge Street the other day so we opted to try them instead of walking all the way to Holborn for an Adobo burrito :)

I prefer it to Benito's Hat, though I'm not sure if I like it as much as Daddy or Adobo. For how close it is to my uni I would opt to go here instead of the aforementioned two. The vegetables and beans were very good and the hot salsa was nice and spicy, just enough for me :) What made it not as good however was that I didn't especially love the guacamole. Not as flavourful as the other guacs.

Loved this place, recommended.

I am not much of a fan of freebird burritos. I appreciate that they are cheaper than the local competition, but that is the only reason I can think of for going there. If you can afford an extra 50p, go to El Burrito. If you can stretch to £1 more then go to Benito's Hat. There's no need to pay £1.50 more at Chipotle when Benito's Hat is nearby, but I'd still rather pay extra for a Chipotle than get a freebird on the cheap.

The best burritto I've ever met :) That's all what should be written here :)

great food reasonable prices.

The burritos are excellent. The price is good. Go here!

Ifyou love a good burito, then this Is the place to go in central London

I first learned about this place when my boss ducked out to grab some lunch and returned with a Freebird burrito. After 2 bites he declared to everyone in the office that this was the best burrito he ever had, much better than his (former) regular burrito place.

Needless to say, I went there a few days later to see what my boss was so impressed about.

I went there around 11.30 so it was quiet and the guy making the burritos let me try both the chicken and the beef as I could not decide which one I wanted.

I settled for the beef and was treated to a very, very good burrito with fresh ingredients and well-seasoned meat. I was equally impressed with the chicken burrito that I had on my next visit; the meat was very tender. Alltogether, a very good deal for a fiver.

If the patient and neverending queue of Qype partygoers at 93 Feet East a few months ago is anything to go by, Freebird have burrito making down pat. I was astounded by how long people were prepared to wait in line for food and unsure I’d ever get a look in…thankfully I managed to slip in wielding a camera and tried out a veggie burrito.

I’m pleased to report it was very nice, but unfortunately I wasn’t blown away. Now, I realise the veggie burrito is a different beast to the animal variety, but it’s not a bad benchmark for overall food skills. A bit of TLC in the vegetarian department shows an overall sense of care and attention to detail I think, and in this case I’m not sure I understand what all the fuss is about. I’d like to give Freebird another chance as on home turf and with ample ingredients (they were running low on a few things by the time I got to the stall) they may yet convert me.

Impressive speed burrito rolling though!

I was so glad to get lost in London and discover this place! Best burritos i’ve had in a long time and at such good prices! Found the chicken to be quite dry otherwise- great!

Great value build your own burritos - absolutely packed and full of flavour. Hope they can keep popping up in new places - very near me!

I've been on a bit of a burrito fest of late. Once bitten, forever smitten and all that. Yet, as Feargal would've probably put it: a good burrito these days is hard to find, truly authentic - the Mexican kind.

With that in mind, it was quite exceptional to witness Freebird not only serving up a seemingly endless supply of fine burritos to a never ending queue, but leaving a longer trail of satisfied punters than Heidi Fleiss.

If they can do it in these conditions, God only knows how good it must be in the familiar environment of their own gaff. And there's only one way of finding out...Taxi! Taxi!

Excellent burritos and filling too. I played safe and chose the chicken although the carnitas (seasoned pork braised for 8 hours) were recommended to me before I found out they hadn’t brought that option to the Qype summer party.

For a reasonable £5 I think I’ll have to try that option at Unit 110 The Canal Market, Camden High Street!

I have an unhealthy obsession with burritos, and being a veggie means I’m limited to one burrito per joint, rather than the multiple meat options most people get form a venue.
So that in mind I think Freebird is damn close to having it perfect.
Tight fresh wrap, packed full of flavoursome veg, soft rice and a good helping of diced tomatoes and guacamole… perfection!

Queuing for Burrito, heato Burrito? 93 feet east but my two were in the queue, below a bladder full of free Red Stripe and pretoxics, so i slashed it out in an open windowed men’s room, returned they were nearly out of rice. Burrito was as fat as a dog, but not inside (cow pork chicken choice) Had the full heat, black beans, stuffed it down opposite two drunk frenchies slightly envious of my mouth haul, buried in my gut. It was good enough to pay for, but why in Camden? Is there a Camden demand? Can they stand the Camden demand, or is it unplanned? It sits in the hand but nests in the gullet unlike a bird or a bush.

I was at the 2nd Qype summer party the other day. Freebird Burritos were providing the food.

Poor fellas: the three of them in their short assembly line at their mobile stall were absolutely beleaguered by about four hundred ravenous Qypers.

Admittedly, I'd made use of the free bar by this point so my taste buds might not have been working at maximum efficiency. Nevertheless, I got a massive burrito stuffed with everything: choice of black or refriend beans, rice, salsa, steak (or chicken or veg). It was seriously big, and seriously filling.

The search for good Mexican is a constant challenge in London, but youn could do a lot worse than Freebird for a takeaway burrito.

Oh, Mexican food in London, how elusive art thou. Despite several recommendations of ‘amazing’ places I find myself constantly disappointed (Taqueria, anyone?). I’m starting to lose hope!

I got a glimmer of it back with Freebird.

Freebird works off of the Chipotle (amazing American burrito chain) school of thought: Take a tortilla the size of a newborn and stick it chock full of rice, beans, tomatoes, salsa, guacamole, cheese, lettuce and if you fancy it, sour cream; wrap it up in tin foil and present it like a compact log.

I love Chipotle, so they were off to a good start.

Taking a bite, the tortilla was nice and fresh. I’m not sure if they make them in-house, but I wouldn’t be surprised. It was very good. The other ingredients were tasty as well. Even the salsa had a good kick to it. I’m also glad they had a black bean option. Finding black beans in London has proved trying to me in the past. I usually have to go to Whole Foods for them. Sooooo much better than pinto beans.

All in all, a tasty little concoction. It’s not the best I’ve ever had, but it would certainly do for a drunken 4th meal if I’m ever in Soho on a Saturday and feeling vulnerable. (That said, I hope they keep late hours. I can’t find them online. They would make a killing around 2 am on Wardour)

Or at least until Chipotle finally comes to London.

From spending my entire Summer in San Fran I tasted many burritos and fell in love with them. I knew I would miss them lots when I returned but was overjoyed to find freebird.

They are the closest I have had to a San Fran one which I sorely miss. I usually go for ether steak or carnitas, but on my visit I had a bit of steak. To say it was good was an understatement. I was whisked back to Californian nirvana with each mouthful and shall have to get some business cards printed if it means I might get one of these beauties for free.

But to be fair they are reasonably priced and in times like these its nice to get a relatively healthy, gut busting lunch for a fiver.
