Izzo’s Illegal Burrito

Much better customer service. The food is better as well! This review is for the humidity and always muggy air, workers sanitation and the worker CONTINUALLY coughing. Although, doing it into his arm, he needs to be on the cash wrap strictly and not fixing food.
The air is so humid some of the workers are sweating; it just makes for a gross feeling atmosphere. No one has on a hair net, yet pulled back, there is still lots of room for mistake there, especially while moving around.

All I want for Christmas is Illegal Burrito! This quick and friendly burrito spot had all the chicken quesadilla I could stuff my face with. I put jalapeños, white chicken, diced tomatoes and corn only on my quesadilla and I can’t imagine how I could get more add-​ons with that much more food for the price. I especially liked the decorations for Christmas on the inside and out with gifts for the staff and a real tree. Great place for anybody passing by the LSU community.

Since I came to LSU, this has always been my favorite place to eat. It’s the best bang for your buck food in terms of quantity, as well as quality, that you’ll find around LSU. They have good promos and a friendly staff.

My favorite burrito place in the area. It is fast, cheap, and the burritos are HUGE! The people are incredibly nice and always make me feel welcome.

I try to avoid this location since it’s pretty gross and the service is laughable.
— Had a staff member pic food off the counter and put it in my food.
–Waited 10 mins in line because the server wanted to chit-​chat with the person he was serving. (This created a line 10 people deep.)
–Had staff members look at you waiting and walk off into the back letting a junior member take you.
–Got served to-​go food that had a fruit fly in it.
–Had a guy basically put tortilla crumbs on my food rather than getting fresh tortilla strips.
I could go on, it’s that bad.

Things have changed for the better!
Now when I come in, I actually feel wanted. Everyone is so nice! While I used to always get the Street Taco Combo, I now get the Illegal Nachos. You can stack those nachos up! Always make sure that you put cilantro ranch on everything you get; it is so addictive. I love Izzo’s delicious quality. I literally go here now at least twice a week.
Come to Izzo’s for generous portion size and delicious taste.

Great burritos and margaritas. The steak burrito is my favorite. Very messy to eat but worth it. The margaritas are awesome to take away on gamedays. Service is hit or miss but mostly pretty good.

I always pick burritos as a go to meal ! This place is
just like any other izzos! The workers here are a little snippy but overall i dont care bc im there for the food and not them!

Having been raised in a family that owns Mexican Food Restaurants, and rest assure that I have tried them all… Izzo’s is the best in town for your money. My family and I are Texas transplants from Louisiana. and each time that we visit family members Izzo’s number one on our list. The serve, the menu, and the price are very suitable for my wallet. In today’s economy where every nickel counts — my family and I are heading back home today… but rest assure, Izzo’s has created some find memories for us to bring back to Texas.

Yummy! This place reminds me of Moe’s. Kids meals are a bit small but they don’t charge extra for meet on the quesadillas. :)

I really like this place for what it is. I always have enjoyed my food. All of the ingredients seem to be fresh.
If you just want a burrito then go to Izzos.

Consistently good and fresh. On weekdays at lunch, the line will tend to get LONG!
And don’t let the special offers for the «meal deal». Their idea of a «meal deal» is a small helping of chips and salsa.

Hooked since day one. When you sell crack, I mean uh deliciousness, like their Cilantro Ranch everything else is just details. Good thing their details are amazing too. They’ve got freshly grilled steak, chicken, and shrimp along with some of the best carnitas you can get from a casual/​fast-​food Mexican restaurant. Then you’ve got options and options and more options of what to put in your burrito, burrito in a bowl, or tacos.
Do yourself a favor — go during happy hour, grab a drink or 4, $ 1 chips and salsa, and a burrito and eat yourself silly. You’re welcome.

I definitely enjoy visiting this location of Izzo’s. The staff is always friendly, and the ingredients seem to be fresh.
If you do go around lunch time, especially when LSU is in session, be prepared for a long line; however, the line moves pretty quickly. There might be a few dirty-​ish tables here or there because they just need a wipe-​down, but that is not frequent.
If you want to bite into something yummy, get the cayenne tortilla with carnitas, black beans, corn, tomatoes, lettuce, sour cream, red tomatillo sauce (or salsa? — don’t remember what they call it), southwest Caesar sauce, sour cream, and guacamole! MMMmmm! Also, they have those fancy drink machines that add flavors to just about any soda/​drink you can think of. I’m a big fan of the Coke Zero with cherry and vanilla.
Their prices are a little higher than one might expect, but I don’t mind paying them since the quality is high — definitely worth many repeat visits.

Izzo’s barely made it to a 4-​star review– only because they’re veg friendly! I definitely like the food– I’m a vegetarian and the burrito with mushrooms and the veggie nachos are totally delicious. Unfortunately, the staff is pretty lackluster. They slop on the toppings without care, and make me feel uncomfortable talking to them. Also, I wanted to go study there with a drink a few weeks ago and was given expired beer. I requested another beer and it was also expired… finally, I sampled a tiny cup of margarita and it was just not good at all. I ended up taking my food to go, putting it in the fridge and heading to Qdoba a few blocks away– their food isn’t as good as Izzos, but at least I can get a fresh beer and good place to study!

Massive, overstuffed, tightly wound burrito = Izzo’s. Just shove it all in there and swaddle it like a baby and you have a burrito that weighs more than a Winnebago and sits in your stomach like a sack of bricks.
BOTTOM LINE: Mi culo esta en fuego.

Best burritos in the entire world. Sure, I’ve never been to Mexico or had an «authentic» burrito… but why would I want to when there is all this delicious goodness right here in my own back yard? There is nothing that I could possibly improve upon here. The price is great, the veggies have always been so fresh and tasty and they have several convenient locations. Their variety also allows you to make alterations to make your experience a little healthier. LOVE IT. Not to mention to the Coke robot thing… super cool.

I love Izzo’s!
You can make it your way and the ingredients are so fresh.

Are you kidding me?
Izzo’s: I miss you.
I think these people are just stuck on their red beans and rice and étouffée.
I grew up in California, live in Nevada now, and lived in Louisiana last year. I have friends I still visit in Louisiana, and when I heard of Izzo’s I automatically thought, «Can’t be better than Chipotle, which is also overrated anyway.»
I’ve spent so much time in the Southwest that it seemed impossible to find a decent burrito place anywhere else.
Izzo’s has NICE workers. They also had facepainting while I was there, and the employees all got their faces painted.
I got an awesome burrito, which to my surprise beat Chipotle to the ground, and a turbodog. Makes for a good meal. They don’t give you a little bit of anything, they give you a lot of everything, just tell them what you want. The cilantro sauce kicks ass.
I’m back in Nevada and Izzo-​less. My friend calls me while he’s ordering here and it makes my mouth water.
The only burrito place I’ve had that rivals Izzo’s is in NOLA on Magazine at Juan’s Flying Burrito.
Good for a fast burrito place.
Their website is awesome, too. Who knew?

At first glance I was unsure about getting a bite to eat here. It just seemed to fast food commerical mexican food from the outside. I am glad I was proven wrong. It is a roll your own tell them what to put in your burrito kind of place. Which is fine with me, because everything is made right in front of you.
The burrito was warm and fresh as well as wrapped in a foil to preserve the heat. I accompanied my regular burrito with a beer which made the perfect combo. The largest sized burrito there is called the «ILLEGAL», then down sized to a supreme, followed by a regular. I was here after the LSU vs. Georgia game and the place was filled with LSU students. It was fun chatting up a storm with some of the collge kids while waiting in line.
BURRITO SUGGESTION: Refried beans, cheese, tomatoes, chicken, gucamole, sour cream, mushrooms.
