Reviews

One of my favorite spots in town for a quick bite. Service is amazing and the food is always the best. We ordered takeout tonight for a group, and when we were halfway home, they called to let me know I was missing half my order. I appreciated how proactive they were and they went above and beyond to fix a mistake without ever requesting them to. I’ve been a loyal IP fan for about 10 years, and it’s amazing to see a brand continue to grow and have such great people working for them. Thank you!


The food has zero flavor. They don't use salt and everything was very bland.


Today was my first time going to this place.

Staff was very rude.
One of the employees argued with me when I ask for extra salsa on the side because he already put some on my bowl.
The asada Meat was dry
Go to chipotle!


The original and the BEST. Their burritos are unlike anything I've ever tasted. Do yourself a favor and GO HERE!


I think I miss the old location and the food. I feel the food flavor has changed. People behind counter were super friendly, but I agree with some patrons that the music Volume is out of control when added to patrons who are clueless of their surrounds that talk among themselves as if none else is there… SO LOUD!

If you want to feel like you’re in High School Cafeteria again (because of the noisy clueless demographics) this is the perfect spot ?

Unfortunately, I’ve witnessed people walking in, walk about and leave. I suppose it’s not for everyone….

Tables were ready available but all of them soiled at 3pm.


Love this spot. Chillest burrito line ever.


Not a gluten-free/celiac friendly location. Tried to order a quesadilla with corn tortillas instead of flour tortillas. Was refused accomodation, that every other location does, so I left. Will not be coming back to this location


I wish there was a 6th star. Illegal Pete's is so good that it has determined where I live for the past 6 years. I've had to be within walking distance of an Illegal Pete's since my first ever visit. This is where the locals eat (and drink). If anyone tries to convince you to come here, listen to them. They're correct.

Quick edit: There are several Illegal Pete's locations. This review applies to ALL locations (I can't believe I haven't reviewed LoDo!)

Three things to know:
1) You can order the burrito bowls with chips instead of a tortilla. They're the best nachos you'll ever find.

2) Their extra hot salsa is actually extra hot.

3) All margaritas are measured to Pete's margaritas after you have your first. You'll never find a better value in alcohol at any restaurant. Ever. All drinks will far short of Pete's. Like I said, I live within WALKING distance of Illegal Pete's.


I stumbled in by accident.. So glad I did. I was greeted by a beautiful professional bartender named Lauren.
It went all so well from there! Lauren definitely knows how to make the best margaritas. Seriously, she's talented. Awesome atmosphere .. obviously they have fantastic drinks. For the price the food is really good.


Once again another dry bowl. also the guy making my bowl wouldn’t stop talking about how the beans give him diarrhea which is awesome to hear when you’re about to eat! why is this location so terrible.
