anybody who thinks that freebirds ranks anything higher than last on the burrito list has problems. place is gross.
I tried Bullritos when I was in Houston over the holiday. The pulled pork was great. I thought it was similar to Freebirds in quality overall, but the meat was superior. I have no opinion on Chipotle having never eaten at one.
I still prefer Mission. The ingredients are ridiculously fresh, the cilantro ranch sauce is incredible, and from Mon-Wed, it's only $5. Plus, free chips and salsa.
I think the 1st Bullritos was in LaPorte and it usually has a nice crowd. Heard the ritas sucked but food was OK, must be doing well since they have opened a few more around town.
checked out the Sugar Land location and I have to say that is comparable to Freebirds. personally both are a small step ahead of chipotle and mission burrito being a distant last... sidenote: mission burrito had a "Free Burrito" day at my work, and already knowing how bad it is I passed. the next day everyone who went had their own vivid depictions of explosive diahrea and in a case where they picked it up for dinner the whole family got poisening... moral of the story...mission burrito wants to kill you
