Tell me about Izzo's Illegal Burritos.

They are putting one in The Summit here in Birmingham. I saw on their site that all the other locations are in Louisiana. Is it just another moes/baja/chipotle or better?

It's like Moe's but better.

Have you tried that new Mexican joint at the Summit next to the burger place?
The burgers in there are damn expensive for the size but the talent (waitresses/hostesses) is pretty impressive.

It's like a non health conscious Chipotle.
Not saying they are all nasty and greasy. I eat well there all the time.

it's better than all of those. it's good but filling like the burrito ron burgundy enjoyed in anchorman.

It's similar to those places but I like it better than Moes and Chipotle
Haven't tried baja so can't comment
The illegal burrito is huge
I usually get tacos, nachos, or a quesadilla there
I think they have better toppings than those other places and the pork is pretty good IMO

Sounds like we're getting another fricking chain in the biggest fricking chain capital of the state.
Why Birmingham won't invest in good local fare I'll never know.

Good stuff. Not a chain in the sense that they aren't everywhere. Only place I know Izzo's exists is in LA.

overrated.
they give you a little amount of meat. the chicken looks like the crumbs you scrape off the bottom of a bbq pit.
although they will give you 10lbs lettuce,cheese,and other stuff you dont really want a lot of
Posted on 6/20/11 at 11:31 pm to GeauxTigers80
I get the tacos pretty much every time I go there.
Posted on 6/20/11 at 11:32 pm to GeauxTigers80
i personally like more toppings than chicken. that is just me.
but its nothing spectacular. just a normal burrito with different toppings. It actually taste more "american" than an authentic burrito.

I'm sure it's great, and I'll most likely eat there and enjoy it.
But B'ham sucks when it comes to good local food with decent prices.
You can get the high end stuff downtown, but as for anything costing $10-$15 a plate, it's nonexistent.
So bring on Izzo's. Right next to Chuy's and Cheesecake Factory.

Nabeels
Fish Market
Rojo
Silvertron
Surin
All the BBQ places (Full Moon, Miss Myras, etc.)

Some people are stupid and just judge places by how much meat they get because they don't want to feel like they're getting ripped off
They give enough meat IMO anyway

It's definitely americanized but I like it

Nabeels has gone downhill over the past few years. Not worth the $10 bill.
I haven't tried Fish Market yet.
Rojo is good.
Silvertron is good.
Surin? Chain.
BBQ is good, but the good ones became chains. Full Moon - chain. Jim and Nicks - chain. I haven't tried Myra's, but I plan to this week actually.
So we've got 3-5 good local restaurants in an area of 1.2 million people.
We could probably name 5 more good ones. Still not enough to warrant the massive amount of chain restaurants.
