Just ate some tacos on corn tortillas and they were delicious!! The jalapeños were dangerously hot, but still yummy. Same price I would have spent at Taco Bell for a meal but 1000x better quality!
It's Like A Tex-Mex Subway. I've eaten at Izzo's many times and have always been happy. Pick the size you want, the type of tortilla, type of meat, type of beans, rice, toppings, and sauce. Their meat is good quality and the ingredients are fresh. They have more topping choices than Chipotle.
Honest, simple food. It's not fancy. You stand in a cafeteria style line and pick what you want on a burrito, nachos, tacos, or a salad. The ingredients are always fresh and you can watch them cooking the real meat in the kitchen. Great tex-mex style comfort food.
Straight to the point. It's a burrito version of Subway. Really like it, if you can eat the illegal burrito you are an Animal with a capital "A" lol. Will eat here again for sure. Just dont come with a calorie limit!
Yum!. Great atmosphere for lunch.
Dieter's nightmare. Be careful if you get the illegal size- you'd probably have to take it home without finishing the damn thing.
Why all the harshness. Not sure what everyone was expecting when they went here. It is an americanized semi fast food mexican joint. And for that it is pretty good. I am not going to sit here and say it is the best mexican food i have ever had, but for the price and convenience it iss pretty good. I will be back many times in the future.
It's "okay". Decent but not great. Ingredients have always tasted fresh.... just seems to be something missing. That being said, I have been there 3 times and have never really been unhappy when leaving... just not blown away.
Don't go around noon as the line will be out the door. Any other time however Izzo's has the best burritos around made however you want. I recommend the pork.
Rock solid burrito joint. I will be going back very soon. I didn't enjoy the 'lunch time' rush crowd, but it was WELL worth the wait. Very fresh ingredients. I was craving another burrito hours after my 1st one. That's a good thing
Real busy at lunchtime.. Based on the recommendation of a friend, I finally was able to try the "make your own burrito" place. Unfortunately, it was at lunch time on a weekday and I was 15th in line. Lines mean good food, so I waited around. Choosing the carnitas, with the standard toppings along with some grilled onions, I was pretty content. The burrito was a big as my forearm I (and I only got the regular size). The salsa option I choose was good, but lacked ANY spice... Ill try something else next time. Overall, worthwhile, but they need to figure out how to use their 2 cash registers during rush hours. 30 mins standing in line for a take out burrito, even a good one, isnt worth it. 7/2010
Returning felon. One of the best customised mexican salads available around these parts. The assembly line was quick today, even though there was a huge order ahead of me. The portions are generous. Not for the faint of heart, but the illegal sauce kicks it up a few notches. I also had a side order of yummy guacamole and chips. They had a two for one margarita special during my visit.
I look forward to serving more time here.

Awesome!!. Everything here is great! There are so many choices to choose from for tortillas, beans, meats, and lots of veggies. I could only eat a couple bites of my burrito. It is that BIG and packed with things! Love their salsa & chips, too.
As close to perfect as possible. The burritos, nachos, tacos, everything here is awesome and I don't say that lightly. There are so many choices, from type of tortilla, beans, meat, and an insane amount of veggies. I guess this could be a bad thing when confronted by all these choices, but the end result is worth the initial brain-shock (I'd suggest checking out their menu online and formulating a game-plan. Yes, there are THAT many options). The end result is kickin product. There burritos are San Francisco Mission DIstrict style, and they pull it off. Big and tasty and well worth the moderate price (under $10 if you load it up, $15 for the thigh-sized "totally illegal burrito which is the size of two of the felony burritos). I head out there at least once a week and the drive from Mid City is always well worth it. While there are plenty of options much closer, Izzo's is worth the trip.
I was super excited to eat here because I was trying to study at Starbucks and I saw that there were a ton of cars parked with hungry customers waiting to go inside. It's gotta be good right? Izzo's Illegal Burrito Inside it's kinda like Chipotle with the assembly line starting with tortilla flavor then to filling (meat or veggie) and then a ton of toppings. What is up with these americanized burritos that are the size of a small baby? This could've easily been 2 or 3 burrito servings. look at how thick this burrito is! My friend got the grilled mushrooms burrito. She liked it a lot, but wished that they had given her more veggies. veggie burrito I ordered the steak and I would say, nothing special. The meat was pretty tough to chew actually. Hopefully, if I go back, I'll try something a bit more tender. steak burrito Filed under: Mexican , New Orleans, LA Tagged: burrito , chipotle , izzo illegal burrito , LA , metairie
1 star lost due to no table service and having to bus your own table. Having said that, it's pretty good food. The staff is quick, helpful, and moves with speed. The menu is not huge, but has many choices available, and the variety of fillings and condiments is their strong suit. For those trying to not break the bank, try the two street taco special. Less than $10 with chips, cheese, and a soft drink. It's filling.
If you are looking for a good deal on Mexican food to feed the whole family this is the place to go. For under 45$ you can buy a bunch of good food. The portion size is above average and the customer service is always good.
Ordered Uber eats because I didn’t feel like cooking and food came on time and is delicious 😊as always! Forgot to get a cookie 🤦🏼♀️ their cookies are so delicious so I’m sad now lol always a great experience when we get izzos and everything comes exactly how we ask for it.
I came here for my first time and boy I felt welcomed. I got the street Taco Combo which I totally recommend get the cilantro ranch with any Taco. Many Thanks!
This is my favorite place to go. Since moving away I am very sad that I have not found a comparable option including Chipotle. Get place for after partying and cure for a hang over lol
