Izzos quality decline

Yes and I won't return.

Such a shame. 2000's Izzos was the shite. I had a friend I was visiting in Dallas and he was raving about Chipotle around 2005. I told him that it sounds like what Izzo's does and he had never heard of it of course. I went to Chipotle with him and needless to say, their burrito was dogshit compared to Izzo's steak.

The location on burbank had a special on halloween one year that allowed you to get any burrito 50% off if you wear your costume. I threw on some shite I had in the closet and got my first illegal burrito. I couldn't believe how big it was (TWSS) and I ate on that thing for probably 3 meals.

The people serving it have gone downnnn in quality as well.

That used to be the best one in town. Bluebonnet location didn’t even have any grilled onions today

Haven't had any problems with the ones in Juban Crossing & Gonzales.

I used to eat there weekly. Then I changed jobs and didn't eat there for years. Recently changed jobs again, bringing me back closer to this location, so I rolled the dice and tried it.

When I walked in the door and saw that the place looked like it had been ransacked, I should've left. But I didn't. When I made it up to the counter and saw how disgusting the food prep area was, I should've left. But I didn't.

I took my shitty order to go and went back to the office. Of course, it was inedible. Everything tasted like it had been sitting in a cooler for two days and reheated in a microwave. The memories of just how good Izzo's used to be just made the experience that much more terrible. Lesson learned...

i do see some decline, but i don't think its drastically different. far from crying about.

they are still by far the best burrito to get by a mile. i at qdoba last week while out of town....that was dog shite.

edit: i should mention i eat at the Metairie location. maybe its different.

Agree. Izzos has gone down across the board, especially in the cleanliness of the stores. I mean jfc clean up some of the food just all over the counter. It looks disgusting for the next people ordering.

Using the scoop is ok for some ingredients because they would stick to the gloves and you would have stuff in the wrong container. It is lame as hell though when theyre basically measuring it like theyre making a fancy cocktail.

The amount of cheese they give you for the meal is downright laughable. Its good for about 8-10 chips and I have to throw away the other 40 because they dont have salsa out on the condiment bar.

The manager at the lsu location has been there forever and he keeps the place going when he is there. When he isnt there, those people dont give a shite. The new bluebonnet location is hit or miss. The corporate location is garbage, westbank location garbage, off of vets garbage.

Now to the customers, they suck the most. Get off your phone and ordder your food, youre in a line with people behind you. Clean up your table somewhat at least. Your kids are disgusting and making a mess. No one seems to know how the drink machine with the buttons worked, but they seem to have gotten rid of all of them thank god.

Ill probably be there Monday

El Pollo Loco is really good since they reopened, and are cheaper than Izzo’s. Good substitute, check it out.
