Post Turkey Day dinner for 4 please...
Turkey-ed out we hit the streets to get a bite to eat that did not contain remnants of turkey day. Thankfully, landed here, I felt a little señora Teneha rising up in me, even though it wasn’t Taco Tuesday.
As we walked up, my attention was drawn to the BEYOND MEAT signage... hello WINNING!!! I get my Burrito on & with Plant-based meat. W-I-N-N-I-N-G!!!! This made me put some pep in my step, I was SO EXCITED!!! We entered and signage everywhere told you everything. Walking to the counter I KNEW WHAT I’D HAVE... MEATTTTTTTTTTT!!!!!
Ordering was easy, the food prepares were helpful, attentive, patient & willing to answer questions as asked.
I ordered a burrito on a Thai wrap and added the BEYOND MEAT and other fixings to my liking. The cilantro rice was a tad bit dry, I mention it because I was going out on a limb and trying it; I started to ask to taste test it... but wait can you do that??? Hmmmm... In spite of the not-so-moist cilantro rice, the rest of the burrito was to my liking.
Love the ability to see the burrito prepared RIGHT IN FRONT YOUR FACE, makes you appreciate the goodness that your mouth will soon be treated to.
The burrito’s size matched my hunger... MASSIVE!!! We couldn’t get home fast enough.
Once home, I devoured it in one setting; JUDGEMENT FREE ZONE... I was hOngry, almost hAngry.
The Thai wrap was moist and flavorful. The beyond meat was BEYOND GREAT!!! The other fixings mixed with the Thai wrap & the beyond meat gave way for all kinds of tasty explosions in my mouth.
This burrito was worth the weight, pun intended, get it I said WEIGHT and not WAIT.
Shared parking is the call for the day, but there’s plenty of it......
Read moreFirst of all…ew! I haven’t been to a freebirds in over 10 years. I was excited to try, again felt nostalgic! I guess I’m a “boomer” or a “Karen” now bc this place was not it. I said hello to the staff and she literally turned her back. I shrugged it off bc i thought maybe she didn’t hear me(i know she did :p). When she turned back around she just stood there; i proceeded to order but i couldn’t hear anything she was saying! I told my husband to take over ordering bc it was difficult to understand her. I’m shy and have dealt with anxiety- so i don’t really let quietness affect me. But her demeanor felt rude and annoyed that we were even there. Anyway, I went to go sit down at a table but then my husband calls out to tell me that they said we couldn’t eat inside bc they were “closed” inside. (It was around 815 and closing time says 930). I understand starting early but close off a section or at least let people know this when they walk in. Also, girly didn’t even use a spoon to serve rice. She dipped the bowl in there lazy :p I’m disappointed. I would give them benefit of the doubt and say maybe they were having an “off” day but after reading other reviews - i think everyday is an “off” day for them. So i won’t be coming back. But hey, im just one person :) so i know it wont really affect business. Best of...
Read moreHorrible first-time experience. Came in to use an offer for free chips and guac (with purchase of an entrée) for being a new customer. I get to the restaurant and see that the entrée costs $9.49 with carnitas. Decide on the quesadilla for an extra 50 cents. Pick my toppings and grab a small drink and get to the register and the total is over $16. I told the guy behind the register that that doesn't add up and he said I was being charged for the guac that was offered to me while I was picking my toppings. I told him then that I didn't want it with guac as I already have guac with my chips. He told me they won't remake it and that he will let me make it this time only but that it's my fault because I should have read the board. Hello, first time customer. I even said that I was a first time customer right when I walked in. I hate trying out a new restaurant and having to deal with a rude employee. Also, they fold 1 tortilla over to make their quesadilla, so you only get half a quesadilla, which was soggy/excessively oily. The free chips and guac were not worth...
