Super tasty burrito, simple service and decor :). All the toppings/fillings were fresh, including the savory shredded beef, tomatoes, and guacamole. A nice place for a full meal in Santa Barbara.

★☆☆☆☆ 1.0 Gabriella Uribe · Jan 2026

The woman that took my order had the nastiest attitude. For no reason. I am always very conscious of how to treat someone who is providing me a service. The food looked really good and fresh but she made the experience so uncomfortable. When I asked for a side of chicken that I would Obviously pay for, I just wanted a small side. She rolled her eyes and said they only do a large size. When I said no, she spoke to another employee asking about a smaller size even though she INSISTED they only have the large. I declined and thanked them anyway. They didn’t want to give me a bag even when the bowl was dripping with sour cream… I understand they deal with drunk college kids but this was not the case for us. I really didn’t even want my food after being treated that way. Most definitely will

Quasadilla Nachos and burito.. that too veg.. what else you need.. this place is perfect for veg options and in the middle of the student area.. easily accessible and you can eat your fav dish sitting outside the restaurant.. I liked the overall ambience..

This place was highly recommended to me by a friend and it was really good! When I walked up the line was out the door so I knew it wouldn’t disappoint. I got the steak nachos everything on it including guacamole. It’s a huge portion, probably enough to feed three people! No seating inside but plenty outside.

I've come here for years and their horchata used to be the best in the world - I recommended many friends to visit Freebirds if only to try the horchata! Unfortunately they recently changed the recipe substantially and it's just not even close to the same thing. I think the milk is now almond milk or something, not really sure what they did exactly. Honestly I hope they change it back lol. But I still love the monster burrito and the nachos, and the staff are always very nice and fast.
