The Mexican Coke Carnitas are never disappointing. Extremely happy to know this location is just as good as the one we used to live near in Fort Collins. Easy 5 star meal.

A better & less expensive Chipotle. Vibe inside is that of a college bar, so I always order to go & sometimes eat outside on the back patio. The queso is divineVegetarian options: Can make just about any dish vegetarianDietary restrictions: Most of the menu is gluten free or can be made gluten free

The food had no flavor. Not like as in "oh it tasted bad". It literally had no flavor. It was to a degree that it was almost impressive. Even adding salt did nothing for it.The staff was great though. Very friendly and professional.

Such a great dinner and drink experience! We were visiting and had a long day, and wanted something local and fun but easy and casual. Found this place. The vibes were great- staff was super friendly and the food (and margaritas!) were amazing. Definitely a Tucson must stop!

Illegal Pete's made hosting a birthday celebration for 25 people easy and delicious! Pick up and set up was smooth ( it included the wire racks and sterno, serving utensils, and all the paper products) Our guests all commented how much they liked the food and there was plenty to eat!

A college bar with food. The coeds make it a place to admire the scenery. We had the Mexican coke carnitas. Good. The sour cream is watery although the guacamole was nice, fresh and chunky. They did not have a chardonnay and if they did it would come in an individual screw top bottle. Stay with the beers -good selection. No Guinness, too bad.

Decent food. The vibe here is usually pretty good, and a fun music playlist makes it all the more enjoyable!

The waiter was absolutely rude beyond belief. I was in there from 10- till close and when it got to about 11:45. 15 mins before close a particular waiter was being super rude and ushering me and my group out. Very blunt and rude. Very unnecessary we were not being

A bit underwhelming based upon expectations of such a highly rated restaurant. Food a bit bland, service a bit lacking.
