freebird's world burrito

Directions from TAMU:
Northgate: cross University Dr. to the north of campus. Free parking behind the building, but parking in Northgate is usually hard to come by, and during AggieCon when the North by Northgate music festival is going on, it will be impossible to find. You'll be better off walking. It's worth it.

Texas Avenue location: Take Texas Avenue south from campus. Directly after Holleman Drive, turn right into the Parking Lot from Hell, a strip shopping center featuring Target, the Outback Steakhouse, the Olive Garden, Hastings, a mini-H.E.B., Old Navy, and of course Freebird's. It's worth it.

Newest location: Take Texas Avenue south from campus. Drive past the college Station Wal-Mart. Shortly aferwards, Texas Avenue joins Highway 6. At the intersection directly before that, turn right onto the frontage road that parallels the highway. Drive on the frontage road through another intersection. Ahead of you, there is a shopping center with a Kroger's in it. Freebird's is in that center. This is the least crowded location and the perfect place to go if you're jonesing for a burrito and don't want to fight the crowds.

Prices:
Fantastic value, especially on the build-your-own burrito. ($5-12)

Veggie-friendly?
Yes.

Notes
Ever wanted a burrito but you don't like beans? Ever thought Subway had a good idea but you're not up for sandwiches? Freebird's is the one of a kind restaurant that allows both questions to be answered YEAH!

Freebird's specialty is made to order burritos of fantastic sizes. Fantastic value for your money is offered when you order your burrito based on the tortilla type, the type of meat, and the addition or subtraction of rice, beans and a pallet full of freebies, not to mention four different types of sauces.

A regular is a full meal for the regular but if you are the type of person who scoffs at tiny little food portions, they also offer the Monster and even the SUPER Monster which could choke a horse (literally).

Freebird's also makes other Mexican dishes but if you've never been before, your first order should definitely be the burrito. Size and type is up to you.
