Burrito Restaurants in Boulder, CO

“Illegal Pete's is such an amazing place to eat! Their food is delicious and the atmosphere is great at every location. The location on The Hill in Boulder was especially wonderful. The people working there were so friendly and easy to talk to, they made me and my husband's visit very memorable. I hadn't been in many years since graduating school and I was so pleased it was just, if not better, than I remembered. I highly recommend making this a stop the next time you're in Boulder.“

“It had been nearly 15 years since my last encounter with an Illegal Pete’s burrito, and I’ll admit—I was nervous. The kind of nervous you get before reconnecting with an old friend you haven’t seen in ages. Would it be the same? Would the magic still be there? Or was it all just fondly remembered hype?

I’m happy to report: the friendship is alive and thriving. Like no time had passed at all. Illegal Pete’s is still, without question, home to some of the best burritos I’ve had in my entire life. I went with the chicken burrito—rice, black beans, extra guac—and for all intents and purposes, it was flawless. One bite in, and it felt like I’d never stopped eating there.

That burrito didn’t just feed me—it unlocked pure nostalgia and made my trip to Boulder, Colorado, genuinely unforgettable.“
