Delicious chicken burrito with cilantro ranch & roasted corn

by lsugrad233

The burritos are delicious. I love the roasted corn. You know it's fresh because you can see them grilling corn cobs on the grill. My favorite is a chicken on cayenne tortilla with cilantro ranch & corn. I lived in Dallas for a summer and Izzo's in a league above Chipotle. They have so much more and so much better food. The LSU location is definitely more geared to the college atmosphere but anyone would be enjoy

• Pros: fresh ingredients
• Cons: none i have encountered yet

Best Tex-Mex style burrito in Baton Rouge

by snedman

I agree, a Chipotle copy cat. None the less, unique in its own way. They have 3 sizes of burrito if I recall. I had the largest. While the burrito was quite good, I felt that the only reason it was large, was because it was loaded down with vegetables to make it that large. I personally am a big meat eater. I would have liked more meat. The restaurant was very very clean. The employees were very patient. self service drink style was my cup of tea. I can go through a good 6+ glasses of drink, and having to wait constantly on a waiter to refill you gets quite annoying. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone that likes a Tex-Mex style eatery. I wish we had a Don Pablos down here...

• Pros: Order it and see it made exactly the way you want
• Cons: none...

Illegal because it copies Chipotle

by meangreeneagle

Illegal is a Baton Rouge knock off of the national chain: "Chipotle" Nonetheless, it is still good for the price. The 2-1 magarita special between 4-7 every day of the week is a great special. Not quite, real mexican food, but better than Taco Bell.

• Pros: good price, good portion

Giant burritos are made to order, stuffed with the customer's choice of tortilla, sauce and veggies.

In Short
There's a reason Izzo's deems its burritos "illegal". Each enormous burrito is stuffed to the brim and guaranteed to leave leftovers. Customers can start by opting for the "Regular Misdemeanor" size or even tackle the "Illegal" portion. From there, the tortilla is stuffed with any combination of fresh grilled meat, beans, cheese and veggies. Izzo's also offers other create-your-own Mexican entrees, such as quesadillas and tacos. During the evenings, the restaurant is usually filled with college students looking to fill their stomachs with burritos and beer for only a few bucks.

the biggest burrito I've ever seen

by drgnldy77

Yes, it was good but the burrito was so big I had the 2nd half the next day! And that's why they call it illegal. I'd recommend this to any tex-mex food lover. The only bad part was when I went w/ a group of classmates, we had to wait for additional seating b/c of the small dining area. Very college atmosphere. Wouldn't recomend for kids (limited menu & large sized items).

• Pros: yummy, good leftovers, great value
• Cons: small dining area

WOW

by mabynshingleton

Our son brought one of these burritos home to us. <I normally don't eat Mexican food.> It was WONDERFUL! They are so good that we have sought the restaurant out and been back 4 times so far. The food quality is excellent. There is a college atmosphere. You'd want to wear jeans or shorts and a jacket (It is kind of cool in there). I wasn't impressed with their nachos but the burritos are fabulous... Highly recommend!!!
