Freebirds World Burrito to Open in December

A new burrito place is making its way to Roseville. Called , the company started in Santa Barbara in 1987. And soon Roseville will gets its own – the only Northern California location, according to the website.

You may have seen the sign and construction going on at the corner of Fairway Drive and Pleasant Grove Boulevard in anticipation for its December opening. Currently, the opening date is set for Dec. 12 (as of Nov. 30).

Freebirds World Burrito fans might want to mark their calendars now. Here’s why: The first 25 people in line during the opening festivities will get free burritos for a year. And it might be wise to camp out early – at one of the latest Freebirds openings, a few people brought a couch and Xbox to camp out for a few days, said Sara Barker, who does marketing and communications for Freebirds World Burrito.

What is Freebirds?

For those of us who have yet to visit a Freebirds World Burrito, it started by “two ex-hippies (who) figured out how to roll some awesome burritos using fresh-chopped veggies, house-made rice and beans, and of course grass fed beef and all natural chicken,” according to its website.

It’s all about choice at the burrito shop with options to custom-build your food the way you want it.

On the Menu:

To Eat: Nachos, salads, quesadillas, tacos and of course burritos all customized the way you want it.

Burritos come in original, hybrid, monster (almost 7 pounds!) and super monster sizes. You pick the tortilla, meat and fixings.

Freebirds salads are also build-your-own with a choice of fresh spring mix or shredded lettuce, meat of your choice (you can even chose between white or dark chicken meat) and one of four dressings: Ancho, Roasted Tomatillo, Buttermilk Ranch or Vinaigrette.

To Drink: It’s not just soda and water served at Freebirds World Burrito. They also serve cold beer in bottles or on tap and a few locations serve frozen margaritas, horchata and iced and spiced Mexican coffee (We’re not sure yet if these will be available in Roseville though. We'll let you know as soon as we know).

For Dessert: They call them Pot Brownies and they’re legal. The pot-less brownies are served in a black pot for those craving something sweet.
