We ordered online for pickup and got 2 burritos and chips and queso. I had been to illegal Pete's a few times years ago but found their vegetarian options pretty bland, but my partner pointed out that they had a few vegan items on their menu now including vegan green Chile so we decided to give it another try. I got a burrito and paid an up charge to add potatoes and the vegan Chile. Total for one burrito came out to be around $14-15. There was an option to sub the sour cream and cheese for guacamole so I opted for that. I was excited to try it. Got home and the burrito tasted pretty dry, so I figured the guac was just closer to the middle. I went to pour the Chile and it was mostly potatoes. I guess they decided to add the potatoes to the chile instead of the burrito? I opened up my burrito after a few bites because the inside was still pretty dry. There was no guacamole or avocado or any kind of sauce at all in it. Ended up adding my own salsa and taco sauce at home. For the price, it was pretty disappointing. My partner got a burrito with meat in it and ended up only eating half, said it was just "okay". We were both pretty disappointed. We probably won't be eating there anytime again soon

It's Friday evening at 7pm. I ordered a burrito and my husband got a quesadilla. We waited over 20 minutes for his quesadilla. My food was cold by the time we got his. It wasn't overly busy. They didn't seem to care that it took so long. This location is not great.

A busy Friday night before a Nuggets game; line was a bit long but moved decently quick.. The food portions were great, and food is always tasty no matter what Pete’s location you attend!Margaritas were awesome!!!

Awesome place for a quick healthy meal and a beer. Added bonus, you get sound for the Nuggets games.

Look, the burrito bowl was an absolute home run. The two ladies who made my food and checked me out, did a fantastic job. Based on some of the past reviews and mentions of dropping the ball etc. I can certainly see that being a problem at this location. Five stars for the food and the counter help. My recommendation, figure out who’s running the joint. There was nothing short of 10 people walking around behind the line with absolutely no direction.

We enjoy grabbing brunch here with their stellar mimosa and breakfast burrito and quesadillas deals. The staff is always super nice and friendly, and they keep the place clean. Bonus that this location has a large dog friendly patio.

The food was great but service from some employees was poor. We ordered online during a dinner rush, and they were obviously busy. However, one particular woman with black hair was particularly rude not only to me but to other customers waiting. We waited over 30 minutes for our takeout order which is understandable during that time but being rude to customers during a rush isn’t okay. I work in the service industry as well and would never have that attitude towards customers, especially ones who were patiently waiting. Overall the other staff was nice.

After a couple years of not having Illegal Petes, I was really looking forward to re-experiencing it as I remembered but was disappointed. Unfortunately the food (Tacos) overall lacked flavor and was very bland.

If you ain’t eating at Pete’s you ain’t nete. Been coming to this location for years. All of um are great but this one takes it. Gamblers sauce is the name of the game, remember that! Get a cookie while you’re at it, meal changer!
