I liked Freebirds a little better than Chipotle, my wife gave the nod to Chipotle. I could see where the comparison could easily change depending on the options chosen and how you dress it up, we've had years to fine tune our Chipotle orders.

Sometimes they put too much of the beans in, which overwhelms the meal. I also wish they could do just the fajita onions, and I'm not cruel enough to ask them to pick out the bell peppers.

Bowl.
White rice.
Half chicken, half steak... unless the steak appears dried out, then chicken only... or unless the steak looks particularly fresh and tender, then chicken + steak double meat.
Next the cheese... this is out of the usual order, but I prefer the cheese gets put over the hot meat and rice so it melts a little, rather than on top of cold vegetables.
Mild salsa
Corn
Guac
Lettuce

That's the trick (ordering a bowl, not being cute, though that may help out too). When I order my bowl with tortilla on the side, I sometimes put half my bowl into the tortilla to make my own full-sized burrito, leaving a whole other half bowl to take home with me. Also, ordering 1/2 meat + 1/2 other meat typically results in 125-133% of normal meat amount.
