ergo, today I used the free Chipotle coupon and will suffer through the funky rice.

no, it's still better to pay for freebirds

or better yet, get one of your buddies to pay for your freebirds

their rice is weird....like sushi rice

no, but the rice is weird. just get it w/out rice.

I'm still perplexed by the overall "spherical" shape of the burrito, and the way i can't seem to get chicken and beans in the same bite.

Their rice is kickass!

Chipotle >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Freebirds!

Always ask them to stir it up! This applies to Freebird's or Chipotle. It makes for a much better burrito eating experience.

Get a bowl instead!

Luckily, I got a fork.

chipotle makes apu walk>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>faster than freebirds

just got a free bird myself

i miss freebirds.....yall dont realize how much you miss it till its gone

I think I would go with free over not free.

but given the choice when having to pay -- freebirds all the way.

So not true...you realize that freebirds is the suck after you're gone. unfresh, unhealthy ingredients. have fun with it, fat people. i'll be eatin good and fresh at the neighborhood Chipotle.

you don't even know how wrong you are. chipotle adds fat in the form of butter and lard to everything. how does white rice have 8g of fat per serving? i dunno, but at chipotle (owned by mcdonalds) it does. freebirds is 10000000000000000000000x fresher than chipotle

yeah, but you can only get refried beans at freebirds, talk about gross and full of lard

where did this free coupon come from?

uhhh, no, but thanks for playing.

I ate at a Chipotle for the first time this weekend, and I must agree that it does suck. I had tacos and the beef was terrible. I couldn't even begin to chew half of it because of all the connective tissue.

They did give me free beans for my kiddo, so that was nice.

I thought of you, TexAgs, as I was eating.

Oh quit the drivel. They are both 1000+ Calorie burritos. Free range meat or not, I eat Chipotle once a week...I eat wishing it was a Freebirds. The meat tastes better at Freebirds. You get many more choices at Freebirds. Chipotle is good, but Freebirds is better.

Or you can keep enjoying your chicken/bean/lettuce/hotsauce salad at Chipotle...because that's basically the only way you are getting significantly healthier than Freebirds to be able to boast about it.

I would kill for a cayenne tortilla up north...

The problem is aggies are biased. I could piss in a cold glass, and most of you wouldn't know the difference if you thought it was a beer from the Chicken. Same with burritos. Chipotle is better. Period.

Freebirds Nutrition Guide
Suggestions for Balance
Try our Half Bird. It is a smaller burrito.
Get a Bird Salad without the tortilla and lots of lettuce, pico de gallo, roasted peppers and onions. Use our fresh salsa as a salad dressing. If you are trying to eat Low Carb, skip the rice and load up on beans, meat and cheese.
If you love guacamole or sour cream, get it! Consider skipping the cheese to help balance the calories and fat.
All of our meats are lean, but are inherently denser in calories than veggies. Consider getting a veggie burrito on the days you need to cut calories or keep the meat but skip the cheese.
Double the amount of beans and skip the rice on any of our menu items. You will load up on fiber while reducing the number of calories.
Request our Tacos be made with only 2 corn tortillas instead of 4. Order them steamed. Corn tortillas are lower in calories than the flour, wheat, cayenne and spinach tortillas.
Go light on the Bad Ass BBQ. This sauce is phenomenal but is made with oil. Use it in moderation. All of our other sauces are fat free.
All of the beans are low in fat and high in fiber- even the Refried Beans! We never use lard.

A Chicken Burrito at Chipotle, partially owned by McDonald's, was about the same as eating one-and-a-half Quarter Pounders and a large Coke at the burger chain, in terms of fat, sodium and calories. Chipotle's Vegetarian Burrito had 1,100 calories and 75 percent of the recommended daily intake of saturated fat.

from an article, b/c chipotle doesn't supply nutritional info

Nuh HUH!

Yes! Let's keep debating subjective qualifications!

Enjoy Chipotle...but I can't wait to enjoy that Freebirds, stepping foot back on campus after being away for all year.

I get burriots at freebirds and tacos at chipotle.

Which do I enjoy more? Tacos at chipotle (CHIP-ahhhhh-tle)
