I don't review chains as a rule but Freebirds get a pass on that. As a long time lover of this restaurant, I want to alert you with a brief admonition to drive out to Taylorsville and get yourself a taste of College Station, Texas.
Before Chipotle, Qdoba or Barbacoa, there was Freebirds. Stop in and get a burrito done right. They still have some kinks to work out as you can see in the picture (my burrito was about 3x larger than my friend's, but they were ordered as the exact same thing). This can be fixed by finding a skilled roller (may I suggest Alan?).
Freebirds differentiates with more selection than just about anyone else - of tortilla, additions and meats. There is also the plentiful foil sculpture (Utah isn't there yet but give it a couple of months).
The Verdict? If you care about food rolled in tortillas, you owe it to yourself to stop by Freebirds. Rumor is there will be more locations before long in the Salt Lake valley, so if you can't make it to the desolate stripmalled wasteland that is Taylorsville, be patient.
