Of all of burrito spots in London, Freebird has probably been on my list for the longest. Freebird have quietly been pitching their burrito carts at lunchtimes in a few locations in London and I recently got a chance to check out their location at Rupert St / Brewer St in Soho.
There are a few street food places on Rupert St all of which seemed to be doing a good trade and arriving at Freebird right in the middle of lunch there was a line of probably 5 or 6 people in front of me. Not a bad sign.It's burritos only at Freebird so the choices are simply down to choice of meat and salsas. This is simple street food delivered very authentically with no fuss and all for a very reasonable £5. Seeing the burrito being put together I knew that this was going to taste pretty good.I can see why this place is rated highly by so many. It is probably the closest to authentic Mexican that it is possible to get in London and a very close copy of the burritos that can be found in some of the lesser known places in The Mission.Taking a perch on an office wall a few blocks away in Soho I most definitely enjoyed my lunch. For my tastes I'm not sure that this surpasses Daddy Donkey in terms of overall awesomeness but it's definitely up there with the best. When I finally get round to updating the main part of londonburrito.com, Freebird will take it's rightful place towards the top!
