Izzo’s Illegal Burrito

I love this place. I think the food is great and at a very good price. Hunter W. normally helps me and is awesome.

I’ve visited more times than I should have and always leave underwhelmed. The chicken is always way overcooked and doesn’t have much flavor, the seasoned chicken isn’t much better, the steak is fatty, and the pork is ok. They will measure our meat as if they are serving you scoops of gold, like others have mentioned they often put less than you would expect (and pay for). For the price of a regular size burrito you should receive twice the protein and flavor. For a combo with a drink you’ll spend $ 10+ which is pretty pricey for what you get.
The queso, salsa, and chips are all pretty good.

Just great food!!! This store never disappoints! The service is excellent and always friendly. Not much else needs to be said.

I use to love this place but after a terrible experience I will NEVER BE COMING BACK AGAIN! EVER
I ordered what I normally get, the street taco combo, which includes two tacos, chips and queso, and a drink. The combo is $ 6.99 not including tax.
I ended up paying $ 7.14.
I was not giving my chips and queso or my drink. I told an employee about this when my tacos arrived at my table. He said he would get them for me. He arrived back with my chips and queso but no drink. He then spilled half of my chips onto the table. He didn’t proceed to offer to replace the chips he had just dropped. Never got my drink.
Upon further inspection of my tacos I noticed that one of them had only THREE pieces of steak on it! THREE! THAT IS RIDICULOUS.
I will be calling a manager tomorrow morning and complaining again. They have lost a loyal customer.

It’s just okay. Been here a few times & my last time here wasn’t very good. The employees aren’t rude but they’re on that borderline of being rude. The food was okay. It didn’t taste that great. Steak tasted burnt & the rest of the meats did look pretty dry.

Not impressed, the food is disgusting and the staff are all teens. Never going back. I rather drive to Metairie 45 minutes away to chipotle. My steak had a burnt taste to it and the sauce tastes like water.

I wasn’t very impressed. We are from out of town and my husband and I are Chipotle people. I also like willy’s. This was more of a Moe’s type burrito place… If you like Moe’s, you’ll like Izzo’s.

I’m a weekly regular here, when comparing prices it is hard to beat the fresh delicious food at Izzo’s. Yes there are some gaps in the training and standards upheld between shifts and different employees and is the only thing I think could be refined.

First and last time visiting Izzo’s. It is as if they are trying to take Moe’s hint of chutzpah to a new level, but go way overboard with almost total absence of service and slovenliness. This is a very poorly managed operation. Had to wait for someone to decide to help me, place was filthy looking and shouldn’t have passed a health code inspection. The only reason it didn’t look worse was because the restaurant looked fairly new, so maybe the grunge hasn’t really built up yet. So let’s go through the list: food slopped all over counters & floors, dried out food (mixed with other food) clearly sitting out too long, dried out wraps, dirty soda fountain with no ice (guarantee hasn’t been cleaned, maybe ever), drinks spilled and dried all over floor, dirty bathrooms with no paper towels (not cleaned or serviced). This was a Sunday at 3. The place was dead, so no excuse to be that poorly kept. Good luck Izzo’s. I already had a dirty college roommates experience and don’t need to recreate.

Gave it another shot this evening and the food quality is the same if not even lower in quality. Again, all the meats were dry, the rice was overcooked and clumpy. This time my wrap was a bit stale and stiff. Chipotle and Felipes are FAR better.

A few points:
1) the food quality is random. sometimes the lettuce looks fine and other times it looks like it’s a week old. also, because of the low turnover of food, the meats get overly dry and are not good.
2) the throughput is slow. if there are more than 6 people in front of you, you won’t eat for 15 minutes. it is an operations screwup.
3) cannot wait until a Chipotle opens up — Izzo’s is ok but Chipotle is fantastic.

This place is, just, so good. I Went for my first time last night, with a friend, we both got the smallest size of burrito. We put a ton of stuff on it, and it was HUGE. Do NOT get a bigger burrito if you are a normal person. It is a LOT bigger than it looks in the picture, and it wasn’t very expensive, and it was REALLY good! I think it is better than chipotle, and It was only $ 18 for both of us and we both got a normal burrito with chips, salsa, and a medium drink. I really enjoyed it, and I will DEFINITELY go over chipotle, it’s much cheaper and in my opinion, better for you and for your taste buds, and for that, I give it five stars.

Love this place when craving for a burrito. I’ve tried chipotle and this place tastes better. Only complaint is that sometimes the meat/​chicken (not ground beef) can be dry since they over cooked it and also the rice isn’t fully cooked. I’ve ordered and brought it home and the rice was undercooked twice already.

I love this place. It’s always good and food is always fresh. You can make things your way which works for me because I’m such a picky eater. Would recommend this to anyone!

Waited 30 minutes in line (not even during prime time hours!). A burrito here is double the price compared to westcoast burrito places. Everyone locally seems to tolerate the wait and inefficiency of this establishment because there isn’t a second choice other than Taco Bell. Which, I will choose over this Izzo’s location in a heartbeat.

Pretty good, but not as good as CHIPOTLE!

Ummmm 5 stars all the way! MY boyfriend and I are obsessed with this place. We live in Slidell and make the drive. Ridiculous right? NO. We love, love, love their burritos! We always add the queso cheese on it! We eat ½ and always have ½ for later. We get the medium size one! It is similar to a chipotle with the way you tell them what you want… but way more of a selection & way better! We crave it all the time. YUM!

Acceptable substitute for Chipotle which I miss. I usually get a bowl instead of burrito and the carnitas is the best bet. Since I don’t add sour cream or guacamole, I don’t find it as expensive as some of the other reviewers. It’s quick, tasty and better for you than the crap that Taco Bell calls food.

Yes it’s very similar to a Chipolte. From the walk through line, the décor, it all is pretty much the same.
One thing for sure is to be said, you will not leave feeling hungry. There is a size burrito for all and even ordering the smallest burrito they have I still only ate half of it and carried the rest home.
Just a suggestion, unless you are super hungry, just skip the meal deal. The burrito alone will fill you up.
There are 3 sizes on burritos. Misdemeanor for $ 5.99, the Super Felony for $ 7.59 and then the Illegal (which is flippen huge) for $ 14.99.
Just your baseline burrito comes with rice, beans, cheese and your choice of toppings. Want meat? Chicken and ground beef is .49 extra, Pork Carnitas is .69 extra, Steak .89 extra, Shrimp 1.89 extra and then the surf & turf for 1.99 extra.
When checking out I thought, dang that was a bit pricey but then when I was able to enjoy my burrito for not only lunch but also dinner it didn’t seem as if it really cost all that much.
Will this become one of my go to spots weekly? More then likely not but I will for sure head back.

Izzo’s just opened on August 12. We went for lunch and there was an enormous amount of staff behind the counter. My assumption is that many are still training. Because they are so new the staff seemed unsure of what was going on. Even thought thy may have been new, they were friendly and helpful.
Izzo’s is set up like a subway or quiznos except Mexican. You order a burrito in one of three sizes: regular misdemeanor, super felony or illegal. There are four different types of tortilla: wheat, spinach, cayenne or flour.
Being the criminal mastermind I am, I opted for the illegal with steak. This thing is freakin huge. You have an enormous amount of options as far as toppings go. Everything from meats, cheese, vegetables, rice, beans and sauce. My guess is that my finished burrito weighed 3 pounds. There is no way I could eat more than half. I will be eating the rest for dinner and probably breakfast tomorrow. It was expensive ($ 15.39) but there is really no reason to get one this big. The size chart on the wall does not do it justice.
We also got shrimp tacos. The tacos were loaded with shrimp and I was told they were very good.
Once you get your food, there is a bar with four different sauces. The choices include green and red salsa, izzo’s (another red salsa) and illegal sauce. Illegal sauce is a thin red sauce that is very hot.
The restaurant has several tables and was very comfortable. I will be back.
