    The two that are closest to where I live and where I work are:

    Hancock Center (HEB Shopping center) 41st @ SB IH35
    Congress @ Riverside

    (P.S. I've been saying this for years. It's about time you all listened to me :p )

    Man smoke Mission and smoke Chipotle... Neither of them got the goods on Freebirds. Freebirds is hands down the greatest burrito in the land!

    Freebird's is way better, but Chipotle has a better hot sauce.

    I like Freebirds food, but what's with the ordering system? You tell them what you want, then follow the same person along the line..........giving directions through other customers. It's a big cluster @#$@. On top of that, you've got 20 people working behind the counter, taking each individual customer through the building process. It's called an assembly line for a reason people.

    Chipotle is better IMHO but only slightly. I like the rice, the beef, and ordering is not like placing a stock purchase in the pit on Wall Street.

    On a scale of 37-84 where 84 is best and 37 is not:

    Chipotle: 81
    Freebirds: 74
    Baja Fresh: 40
    Mission: never been
    Qdajabodahog: never heard of.

    Taco Cabana is better than any of these burrito places.

    For all of you saying that Chipotle is good...

    They don't even have Jalapenos. It is a freaking burrito place in TEXAS and they don't offer jalapenos!?! Case closed. They suck.

    I wish Houston had a Raging Burrito (from Atlanta). It is not fast-food style where they make it in front of you and the burritos are very far from traditional (although they do have a "build your own" section) but that place is the best. Here I would rather just make my own.

    I actually like it, rice with lime and cilantro, that's good eats. The problem though is finding a chipotle where they cook it right.

    Best burrito place downtown is Bouray's Mexican and Vietnamese food.

    Yeah, I know....it's weird. Cajun name, with no Cajun food, and you can get a giant burrito, or bowl of pho. It's the platypus of restaurants.

    But Bouray's is only place in town (that I know of) where you can get a SHRIMP giant burrito (or beef/chicken fajita). But they're quality is not as good as Freebirds.
