Great I wish they would open 24/7 again because Covid is over now and people would like to eat at 3-5am again the only good spot at that time

decent food that came out fast. not as good as chipotle and nothing mind-blowing, but it's SB.

Highly recommend the steak quesarito! Everything is so fresh and quick. I love the option for refried beans and the steak is really well-seasoned. Not fatty or too chewy.

Solid burrito from a classic company/spot. Great fresh ingredients and ample portions at a low cost. The horchata is a worthwhile accompaniment, as is the guac.

Got lunch in Santa Barbara on short roadtrip. I got bowl which was super yummy. Service was fast and efficient. My boyfriend got the nachos and was HUGE portion, we could've split it. This is a better chipotle. The seating was nice inside and outside as well as the parking situation. Very easy to find.

Although Freebirds is quite expensive these days, it's a classic and is basically the original chipotle growing up in Santa Barbara. I learned that some restaurants are incredible and Free-birds is part of their monsters. Burritos can fill me up for two meals and their nachos are freaking good next time you're in IV instead of going to Wingstop or the habit habit go into that yummy burrito and eat it as fast as you can cause you won't be able to stop once you begin. Get all the toppings on pick your protein and then wow be delighted the services is good and atmosphere. It's just classic college campus, massive burrito and I can't wait for you to discover it Have fun bye!

Kinda like a Chipotle in my opinion. Was kinda pricey too. Very "California-mexican".

Food is always amazing! Even though the restaurant was packed, the line moves super fast and workers are very efficient! You can tell they use super fresh ingredients and the steak/chicken are the best!

Definitely overrated!The service was awful and the food was overpriced. Save your money and go to Chipotle!!Employees are serving food without gloves and not following health code guidelines. Furthermore, the employees were very rude. They seemed rush to make each order asking what else you would like in the bowl before you could even see the options to put into the bowl. They also were laughing at individuals who have an accent even though they are not native speakers themselves.I will never go there again!
