I’ve been here more than I’ve checked-in and the service is always on point! Their food is excellent — you can’t got wrong with any item on the menu. Their breakfast burritos are a great weekend hangover cure. I see myself becoming a very loyal customer. My recommendation is the pork quesadillas with cilantro and a side of cheese and red salsa. This place also has a full bar. They’re happy hour is from 3 — 8 and Sunday’s it’s all day during football season!!! Uh — Go Broncos!

First time foodies at Illegal Pete’e, the food was okay but it was the music that was on is what caused my family to leave before our food was done. First off, let me paint you the picture of what type of customers there were in the dining area… A family with a toddler and an infant, another mother with her toddler and my family with our young child… As we started to eat our breakfast burritos these words started to play loudly throughout this establishment«Bitch Make it Nasty, make it make it nasty… mother fucker… Bitch make it nasty really really nasty.» As a mother of an impressionable 8 year old, my family, to include my son were speechless. As I looked around at the staff with hopes the song accidentally played, it continued playing as my family quickly picked our table with unfinished burritos in hand. This is in no means is appropriate music and it’s sad that four children had to listen to women be referred at as «Bitches» that need to make it really«nasty», I’m appalled. The staff that served us were very friendly and had great customer service, our entire experienced would have been different had someone judgment to allow this to occur.

Besides having a bar it remind me of chipotle. I was not impress with the quality. The lady bartender was rude and seem like she didn’t want to work today. I did like their happy hour.

I should probably hang out here more often. It seems like a place I would enjoy on a regular basis and it’s around the corner. The food is good, there is a bar, and entertainment.

Given the comparison to Chipotle, we figured we’d give it a try. I would say Chipotle has the edge since their food keeps me satisfied longer. I had 3 fish tacos, which were alright, but I was still hungry after. The guacamole was too salty, but the chips were good. My boyfriend had beef tacos and the beef was soft and tasty. I’m glad I gave it a chance, and I would eat here if I worked nearby, but not something I’d go out of my way for.

This place is tasty! I’m usually a Chipotle fan, but given the recent E. coli outbreak, I think I’ll hold off. My wife and I visited during the lunch rush and even though there were a lot of customers, we got through the line quick. I ordered three chicken soft tacos and my wife ordered six taquitos. My only complaint was the guy doing the condiments kept getting distracted and looking this way and that and kept talking to his fellow employees. I wanted my food, not for him to dilly dally. My wife’s taquitos tasted a bit dry to me, but she enjoyed them. Great guac and nice that they serve queso. Wish the bags of chips came with a bit more chips though. It’s significantly less than Chipotles.

Came in for breakfast because the wait at the café next door was insane. next time I’ll definitely choose this place first! Very simple breakfast menu(breakfast burritos, bowls, quesadillas and tacos) but its delicious! Even the coffee is pretty good. Would definitely make this a regular stop for inexpensive but great breakfast.

This place rocks the house. I love it. My daughter loves it. I appreciate that the food is high quality and tasty. It tastes fresh unlike so many other Mexican places. We usually get chicken tacos, salad and rarely a burrito(trying to watch the waistline a bit!!!). Just delicious. Real grilled chicken, great pico, delicious grilled veggies. We moved recently from California, and I had given up hope of finding any healthy Mexican places. Thank goodness we found illegal Petes.

Don’t ever leave me, Pete. This is my go-to place and not because it’s the best burrito place in town, or that the drinks are dirt cheap and the place is always sold out. Illegal Pete’s in the DTC is the type of place that appreciates your business and they let you know every time you go. I appreciate the laid-back atmosphere and the servers who remember my face. The menu is loaded with the standard burrito fare: meats+rice+beans+salsa+tortilla. It’s not rocket science, folks. But at $ 6 for a burrito and a few bucks for a beer, it’s the type of place that means to keep your business for a while. There are highlights on the menu, for sure: Carnitas is always a good pick; their breakfast burritos are scary good(just don’t go too early in the morning or you’ll get under-cooked potatoes); and the veggie green chili is delicious. I suggest the chubby(chicken burrito with queso and off menu) or the chicken and potato burrito if you must. But Pete’s has more than food and booze, it has atmosphere. So many places in the DTC are meant to rob expense accounts with $ 40 steaks and $ 12 cocktails. It’s nice that Pete’s feels like it’s just for me.

Illegal Petes in the DTC is probably the best option for burritos in the area. I work a couple of blocks away and haven’t found anything better. For breakfast burritos it can run about $ 10, which is a bit pricey. The green chili is good and they also have a vegetarian option.

First: there was no soap in the men’s restroom. Think about that. The food was actually ok for the price, but everything else was awkward or just unpleasant. The person ringing us up tried over and over to complete the purchase even as we were trying to order drinks(there are four of us — we are probably ordering four drinks). After each and every drink request it was«ok, your total is…» Irritating. Also, some of our food required extra time to prepare, but nothing was explained — do we wait at the register? Do we go sit and it will be brought out to us? Do they call out a number or name or something? Nope — they just ring us up and walk away… And the music. All heavy metal and way too loud for any kind of conversation. Completely unnecessary and frankly rude to the customers. Overall, I get the impression that the staff are more concerned with each other than their customers. I will most likely not return.

— The green chile is very good. The tough as leather pork cubes that they dump into it are not. The pork should be part of the cooking process, not something thrown in to appease non-vegetarians — My carnitas bowl was very nice. Nicely flavored carnitas, salsas, rice

The experiment is over and Chipotle is better. I’ve tried this place a couple time and the food is really not that great. I’ve tried the carnitas and steak on nachos. The meat seems to be very bland compared to Chipotle. I also had a bad experience on my last visit. I ordered nachos to go but I guess the music was up so loud they didn’t hear me. Anyway, when I got to the register I told the guy that it was supposed to be to go. Instead of transferring my food to a larger container, the genius pulls out a flat plastic lid and crushes the nachos, I just paid for, down into a mush then puts a rubber band around it. I should have demanded my money back but I was in shock. How would he feel if I turned his $ 9.00 nachos into a soggy pile of mush? Anyway, after I few choice words, I left with the slop. Never again!

The food is great here. Very delicious fish tacos. I don’t know what happened when they built this place though, cause it’s not very… ear friendly. The sound in there echo’s so bad it hurts your ears. Staff was alright the last time I was there, kept shouting WHAT?! At me because it was so loud. Super good food though. Hipstery.

I normally go here for lunch or dinner. Today was my first time for breakfast. I was there at 10:30 and ordered a breakfast burrito. They started with MAYBE1 ½ barely warm scrambled eggs on a huge tortilla I asked for no meat or potatoes but black beans instead. And they charged me extra… WTF ?? When I asked the girl behind the counter about the upcharge for beans when I didn’t get meat or potatoes. She snarled something about beans are always extra. HUH? My fault for not walking out then. Less than generous amount of wilted peppers and onions that were sauteed probably an hour earlier … extra. Sour cream… extra. Surprisingly I didn’t get uncharged for salsa They did however fatten the burrito up with lettuce… no extra charge I walked out with a pathetic veggie bfast burrito that was mostly tortilla and lettuce for almost $ 9.00 BOOOO !! Extremely disappointed. I wont be going back.

Loved it! The guy at the counter was super friendly and helpful with the menu. It was my first time here with my wife and two small kids– we ordered a fish taco(very fresh), a pork carnitas taco(pork was succulent), and a simple chicken taco(chicken was seasoned and really good). Chips and queso was good too. We both had a beer as well and the bartender was very friendly when we ordered it. We will definitely come back w/o the kids(3pm-8pm happy hour!). The place was pretty loud though because it was busy, which is ok when you have loud kids :)

Whoa, they have breakfast? Stopped in here on a Sunday morning when there was a huge wait for Delectable Egg and Illegal Pete’s didn’t disappoint! Not only is their breakfast delicious but super cheap! I ended up getting a breakfast bowl with black beans, cheese and all the spicy fixings. My only complaint is that the line moves pretty slow, I’ve planned on going here a few times for lunch but the line was out the door.

While I’m a Chipotle lover through and through, I did like Illegal Pete’s. They have a much more extensive menu than Chipotle does, which can be good if you’re always looking to try new things. Or, if you’re a creature of habit like me, you’ll probably just get the same thing and the larger menu won’t matter to you. I did like that they had a bar and could serve more than just a few bottles beers and margaritas. Kudos to Pete’s for having that on Chipotle. Food wise — the hubs and I were both happy with our lunches. We went a little later(1:00 pm) and they’d run out of chicken, but we were able to find something else that was suitable(beef and fish tacos). Mental note — come back for breakfast! It looked like a tasty menu.

We ordered eight of their legendary breakfast burritos online; however, when we arrived we were informed that there was a problem with their system and that they never got the order. The employee assisting me was profusely apologetic and accommodating. She gave us five free coffees and came and touched base with us multiple times while we waited for our burritos to be made. The burritos were gigantic and delicious. They are definitely a substantial meal. Mine had peppers, onions, vegetarian green chili, and chorizo. Most of the ingredients were mixed up within the tortilla but I occasionally happened upon a pocket of just one component(such as a lovely bite of cheese). The atmosphere at Illegal Pete’s was casual, cool, and industrial/loft. It was spacious and laid with regular tables, tall tables, a bar(with alcohol), a counter for ordering, and two stations with condiments and napkins. It is part of a strip mall and has ample parking.
