FREEB!RDS Continues California Expansion with LA and OC Locations

With the first location in Santa Barbara, CA dating back to 1987, FREEB!RDS World Burrito has been making a name for itself ever since. In the years following its inception, their travels took the chain to a 39-unit expansion tear throughout Texas, and 2011 marks the privately-held chain’s epic entrance into the California market (outside of Santa Barbara).
