About Illegal Pete's Northside

Illegal Pete's Northside is a local favorite, known for its delicious meals and a full bar that sets it apart from other similar chains. The friendly, humble staff are always ready to assist, creating a welcoming and enjoyable atmosphere. The updated patio seating area opens to the bar during nice weather and features misters to keep the heat away. While the food is top-quality and always fresh, some customers have noted cleanliness issues in the meal prep area. The variety of vegetarian options, including vegan green chili, makes it a go-to spot for those with dietary preferences. The guacamole is great, and there are plenty of topping choices like red & green jalapeño sauce, red peppers & onions, or green peppers & onions. The bar is laid back, perfect for enjoying a Prickly Pear Marg or relaxing while watching sports. Despite a small parking lot that holds about 2.5 smart cars, this cozy location stands out for its excellent service, reasonable prices, and food that tastes authentic—making it a preferred choice over other chain restaurants like Chipotle or Moe’s. The space is never packed but never empty, offering a comfortable, safe environment for all ages. It has served customers well for years, and many appreciate the fun vibe of the place, especially the great outside patio.
