I enjoy eating the food from here. It is clean. Food is good. I have done take out and dine in. They have an outside seating area which is nice. They serve alcohol for those who want a beer or cocktail etc. They have trivia night. It is worth trying once and if you don't enjoy it that is up to you if you go back or not. I got the tri tip steak and potatoes which was delicious.

Such a cool place with amazing food. The value is incredible, it blows chipotle out of the water. The potatoes are delicious!

Vegetarian options: Great vegetarian options, and a new plant based meat option that was super good!

I usually meet up with a group on Saturday night. It's a good place to have a pretty lively bunch. Amazing outdoor seating.

Just went there last Saturday. Awesome tacos. Fun staff

It’s like chipotle, but better and not chipotle. It is a bit pricey (a burrito with a few extras came out to around $20!) but it was so good. I liked that they had potatoes as an option for a burrito / bowl etc. Definitely recommend the “taco night” plant based protein and the queso.

Vegetarian options: Plant based protein called “taco night” that is quite good.

I found it especially cool & conscious of them to encourage guacamole to be subbed for dairy. Super conscientious and thoughtful to reduce suffering and cruelty this way.

First time to illegal Pete's. Kinda like Chipotle except a little more options. They have fried potatoes, which were very delicious, and the barbacoa wasn't overcooked and very tasty. They do have extra charges for the potatoes,guacamole, and chili. They gave me too much guacamole and very little chili. They are more expensive than Chipotle, but the taste was awesome, and the food didn't taste like it was from Chipotle.
