My favorite place to eat lunch! Most of the employees here are so kind and welcoming. Almost every Tuesday and Thursday since early 2023 I've come here for lunch! I always order the same thing, a kids chicken quesadilla with a side of guac and hot salsa. It's my fav! I had gastric surgery that only allows me to eat small amounts of food so I always order small portions every where I go. That being said, I KNOW what I'm ordering because I always order the same thing. Today, I ordered that same exact thing. I noticed at the counter I was being charged for a regular quesadilla so I thought maybe they just accidentally rang it up incorrectly so I said, "I actually ordered a kids quesadilla!". No biggie, right? Just... ring the kids quesadilla up. Well they had already started making it (fast service, it's great!), and they had already layered the cheese on the tortilla and were opening the oven door. I'm sorry, I guess? But it was exceptionally annoying to hear the pink haired one (cute hair btw) go, "well next time let us know ahead of time because you're wasting our food". First of all, you're rude. Second of all, the person taking my order wasted your precious 1 tortilla and handful of cheese because I always order the same thing and nobody else heard me wrong. Anyways it's not that big of a deal, a nerve was just struck and you made your bad day reflect onto mine. The comment was unnecessary, thank you for making my lunch experience uncomfortable. The quesadilla was bomb doe

Food tasted good, but immediately put me in the bathroom for the next half hour. Also, pretty sure they served me old chicken because there were meat bits in my burrito that were as hard as rocks.

Picking up deliveries here has become soooooo bad. I have no idea why it takes so long to put together 1 burrito, but this place makes sure it’s 10 minutes per burrito. Sometimes there are 6-7 employees literally just standing there, 1 working to go. Wait times are just awful no matter what time of the week.Whoever owns this place, why don’t you sign on to Uber or door dash and try to pickup orders from your own restaurant and see how you like waiting 15 minutes to make $2. You can also adjust your pickup times on the app so you are not constantly screwing over every single driver. One more thing, if you’d like, I can come in and show your employees how to make a burrito in under 15 minutes. Get it together. And owner, seriously sign on to Uber and see how bad your restaurant screws over drivers.

Food was very good and filling serving size. Staff was extremely friendly and even complimentary. Atmosphere was busy as most places are in this area but still well maintained.

The food is really good. However the bartenders are so rude. Tried to take my real ID even though I am 21 and never apologized or served me once it was proved real. This was last night around 11pm.

Cale here for a quick beer after a meetup on campus. Nice enough selection. Quiet enough on a Monday for conversation.

I stopped by here today and ordered a chicken burrito. I have eaten the same burrito at other IP locations ans enjoyed it. This was not the case today. The person serving me seemed to be unable to listen and put the ingredients on as I specified. The brown rice was crunchy, the lettuce tasted old and the burrito had no flavor (forgot to season the chicken?). I did not even finish my burrito and will not be back. I would steer clear of this location.

I was tasked with bringing 10 breakfast burritos to a tailgate (Go Buffs!). I called Illegal Pete's the day in advance and asked if I could order 10 kid's breakfast burritos for the next morning and was told it would be easier to come in in the morning. I arrived at 7:00 (they opened early for the game) and ordered 10 kids' breakfast burritos. I was asked if I was sure I wanted kids' burritos and I confirmed "yes". At checkout, the total was almost $90. I was surprised and asked, "for the kids' breakfast burritos?" The server (with the waxed, curled up mustache) told me they don't offer kids' breakfast burritos. I pointed out that they are on the menu. He said, "Do you want us to make them all over for you again?" I said, "I want to pay for what I ordered." He said, "That's not an option." I paid my almost $90 and won't ever go back.

Family Reunion in town and many wanted to visit the Jon-Bennet house. After that it was time for Lunch. Online I had scoped this place out as popular and having good food. I didn't know it was a local chain with multiple locations. I also didn't know it was in the middle of student housing and activities. None theless we were thrilled. It was uber casual with students and professionals coming and going all the time. There were take out and door dash orders. We trickled in from our sight seeing and ordered. The people behind the counter were very helpful...it is Mexican food but they have more options than typically seen at the more ubiquitous national chains. AND they wanted to do things just how YOU wanted them. We ate lots o good tacos and buritos, chips and queso, bowls and quesadillas. We hung out and chatted and watched the city come in and go out. It was a wonderful setting. Drinks were a little sparse in variety. Bathrooms could have used to elbow grease.
