“I’ve been coming here for a while now, and the service is always so awesome! One employee who truly stands out is Gavin. He consistently goes above and beyond every single time I visit. His positive attitude and exceptional customer service always make me want to come back. Thank you, Gavin, for making every experience such a great one!”

Tacos were great. Vibe was great. I left a sticker of Nicholas cage as Jesus on one of the beems above your head as you walk in. If I was local id be here often but it will be a stop of mine

I have no reason to ever go to chipotle or qdoba when Illegal Pete’s is an option. Gotta add the potatoes, all the proteins are really tasty, there’s nothing i don’t crave! The primavera veggies are great and love that fish is an option. Can make some really creative, delicious bowls/burritos!
This location has the best service, too. On the line and behind the bar, all super friendly and always put out quality food! And drinks!!
