Izzo's Illegal Burrito
Are you hungry? Me too, at least until we got to Izzo’s Illegal Burrito. Long ago, Richard and I agreed to try out every Mexican restaurant we could. It was pretty slim pickings when we lived farther East, but now we’re back on the ‘west’ side of the Mississippi River. Well, okay, you can see the bridge from our window, but we ARE West of the river! And don’t even try to tell me the Mississippi meanders around, and crooks back up to the west of us. That’s just a geographical thing, and I’m not here to talk about geography. Right now, I’m talking about burritos.
Izzo’s is a Louisiana chain, but there are only four places. Three are in Baton Rouge, and then the one we went to here in New Orleans. It’s actually a Metairie address — at 4316 Veterans Blvd.
This place makes great burritos. It’s also VERY well liked, so we had to stand in a long line waiting to get up to the counter so we could order. Some people ahead of us got a burrito in a bowl. It was HUGE! Richard got a burrito in cayenne tortilla, and I got the grilled tacos. Everything was really tasty, and you can bet we’ll be going back.
If you’re driving through and need a quick lunch, hey, I’ve got two thumbs up!
(if you live in the area, and know of a great place to eat leave a comment and I’ll check it out!)
