They may look at you funny for ordering Taco Night but whatever, it tastes great. I'm so jazzed that's an option. Pro-tip- don't order anything with potatoes in the last hour theyre open. For some reason the potatoes get mushy and it's just awful.

I went there with a group upon the group’s recommendation. They offer a limited mexican menu, mostly consisting of fast-food-style dishes. After waiting in line for about 10 minutes, I ordered the OGCB as a bowl, which they had recently added to their menu. My choice was tasty, and everyone in the group was satisfied with their meals. it is a self-service restaurant, collecting used trays and cleaning tables in the dining area is either not done or done very infrequently , we did not see it during our stay. Overall, it is a true value-for-money restaurant.

With less than 1.5 days in downtown Denver, I wanted to be selective about where to eat. That strategy doesn’t always work, but this time it went reasonably well at Illegal Pete's.
I stopped in with about two hours to spare before my train. Even though I arrived just before noon, it took a little over 20 minutes in line to reach the register. I ventured away from the usual steak or chicken and ordered the fish burrito, loading it up with just about everything—black beans, brown rice, tomato, lettuce, and more. How can you say no to any of that?
It seems they cook the fish to order (possibly fried), which added roughly another 15 minutes before my burrito was ready. Lesson learned: if you’re coming to Illegal Pete's for lunch on a tight schedule, plan for a longer wait or you might be late to your next appointment.
I liked the burrito. The fish was there, though it was hard to gauge how much since I had to eat quickly to catch my train out of the city and there was so much other ingredients. Overall, it was good—nothing extraordinary—but I’d still choose this place over Chipotle or other chains. Friendly staff (not sure about the bar staff), local vibe, very crowded and clearly popular. No regrets.
Finally, the burritos are huge and could easily carry you through the day if, like me, you tend to eat just one meal a day.
Really delicious Mexican coke carnitas , lots of great spice and flavor.

Staff were very nice. I got a burrito and it was very good. Also because I went to the game and showed them my ticket they gave me a free beer. Just awesome

Picked up takeout during a business trip in Denver. Locals online said Illegal Pete's was a staple, and I'm so glad they did! My kid's size burrito was plenty big enough for an adult (and even for leftovers) and the chips and queso were delicious. I spent less money on that whole meal than I've spent at coffee shops! Definitely would go back and try some of the other items on the menu. Highly recommend!

Fast, friendly service. It was a little hard to communicate with people making my food between the music, masks, and accents, but we made it work. Tasty margarita!
Great vibes, great food, would go again
