Probably Dallas. Theres none in Louisiana, Miss. or Arkansas.
Not a fan of Qdoba or Chipotle. If you are going to do a burrito joint, do it right. Cafe Rio. http://www.caferio.com/ Best burrito franchise, bar none.
A taco joint also works. Taqueria del Sol is tough to beat in this category. http://www.taqueriadelsol.com/
If theres any burrito franchise that will come to Ruston, it will be Moe's (because there are a few in Louisiana already).Quote:

honestly all chain mexican / burrito stuff is garbage
The best burritos are in the Mission District. Cafe Rio serves Mission-style burritos. May not be as good as those that you can get in the MD, but they are fantastic and nothing closely resembling garbage. Have you had it? I agree that Qdoba/Moe/Chipotle is no good. I am not really a fan of Freebirds, but it might be a touch better than the other mentioned chains on a good day. Kokopelli's in New Orleans was pretty good, but they had really interesting non-traditional burritos - like thai burritos and surf-n-turf burritos.Quote:

People like chains for some reason, especially for fast foodish type places.
Assembly line burrito joints are all the same. Only thing that is different is the meat and probably the rice.
I generally stay away from chain restaurants. Whataburger is the only interstate fast food joint I could see doing really well in Ruston.
