I’m No Longer Excited For the Westside Freebirds
Last week Squid Ink brought the news that Freebirds, the Texas burrito chain (with roots in Santa Barbara and a six month old USC location) would be opening in Marina del Rey on May 20th. I really love burritos, but don’t completely love Chipotle, so I was kind of hopeful that Freebirds might be a good lunchtime alternative for the Westside. My ideal burrito has carnitas in it, and looks something like this (I guess a lot of people would describe that as “Mission Style”?) And based on their menu, Freebirds seems to be that kind of place. Of course being ultra successful in Texas doesn’t necessarily inspire confidence that your burritos will translate here, but obviously their USC location was doing well enough to warrant expansion to the westside… so it had to be at least decent, right?
I decided to head Downtown to check it out.
