How does Mission compare to Freebirds and Chipolte? I've been hoping for a Freebirds here in Atascocita,,, just noticed a new Mission Burrito being built here, hiring going on today.

Hiring today? Well you better get in there before all the good jobs get taken up by the Texas grads!

Different, but I think they make great burritos

so Tech has pizza delivery all wrapped up and now the sips have the burrito market cornered. YIKES!

sucks!

lol... and pretty soon Texas State will have the burger industry on lock down...

Mission pwns Freebirds and Chipotle. Grilled fish burrito FTW.

One just opened near my house on Highway 6 near W. Little York. We go there almost once a week.

I think Freebird's owns Mission and Chipotle and i am not being biased at all. I enjoy the other two but Freebird's is best hands down and its not really that close.

Good stuff. They have more options of what you can put on your burrito compared to Freebirds/Chipotle. Veggies also appear have an edge in freshness. Queso is spicy and delicious.

I rank:
Mission
Freebirds
Crapotle

Mission is really good. I think they use better quality ingredients than Freebirds.

we'll see how the quality holds up since they were acquired by Casa Ole.

I enjoy their food. When I dont feel like driving the extra mile to the bird, I go to mission burrito.

pv, really? I had a Freebird's on Friday for a change of pace and thought it was crap compared to Mission.

I grew up on the original Freebirds and up until a few years ago I would have said they make the best burrito anywhere. Since then they have become bland. I think Chipolte has better flavors than FB, but Mission's has a totally different selection and I'd give a slight nod to Mission over Chipolte.

just my opinion

I agree with this. It seems like the meat isn't nearly as flavorful as it used to be.

maybe it's just in my head.

What about Qdoba?

mission burrito is awesome. and you get chips and salsa free.

Best of the 3 by far.

Free chips and salsa only at the W. Alabama location.

SuperDave likes it

MIssion is good. I think as far comparisons go, it is much more similar to Chipotle, with Freebirds on its own. All three are good. I prefer to FreeBirdS of the bunch, but frequent Mission a lot for a change of pace with a shrimp or fish (as mentioned above the fish is great) burrito. I also really like the grilled corn you can put on it, and wish the bird had it. Their peppers are hot as H E double hockey stick as well.

Panchero's is my fav now.

Mission was awesome when they had their monthly specials (ie Barbeque Chicken, Poblano Chicken) but now it's nothing special.

The ex-food supplier for Freebird's (before they were sold) distributes to Mission Burrito.

that place is ****ing terrible

I think Mission is a good substitute if Freebirds is not available. If both are in same proximity, I would more often go to FBs, but Mission will do.

I refuse to eat at Chipolte. Tried several times, thought it was worthless every time.

I haven't had a Mission's burrito in about 8 years, but the one I had was crap.

well since freebirds is crap, then it's only a competition between big c and mission.
