Afreaux, I've always respected your info on the Hispanic restaurant scene. I've actually found myself at a couple of places upon your recommendation.

With that said, I dug around for a menu from T and B Express and found it.

The very first item listed under "Traditional Meals" are "chicken fajitas".

In his defense...wait, in defense of Afreaux?

Er.... well, anyway, in his defense the topic is not best authentic Mexican place. The topic is good burrito in BR.

TB&E Express is legit and the king burrito for $5 is a steal.

Definitely odd, I doubt I've ever seen anyone eat chicken fajitas in Mexico.

I think Izzo's is alright. It tastes great but the prices are ridiculous.


If you get the Super Felony you're basically paying $8 for a lot of rice and beans and four ounces of meat. If you go to a taqueria instead, you'll get a better burrito plus chips and salsa for only $5.00. Izzo's has the edge because it's so close to campus.

Speaking of relatively close to LSU, the new Ahuuas on Perkins at Essen (across from Taco Bell) is solidly mediocre.

I stopped by there the first week they opened, but haven't gotten around to eating there yet. There's a terrific place literally around the corner on Jones Creek (El Limon). So if I drive out that way, I end up just going to El Limon.

Went to Juanita's recently, now that it's under new ownership (and subsequently cleaner). The food is better, but they're still stretching out the barbacoa with filler from their butcher shop.
