Illegal Pete's rarely disappoints, this location has served me well for several years without complaint. If you get a side of chips and queso ask for a scoop of house hot poured in. An employee here told me about it 2 or 3 years ago and I do it every time now.

This location gives the smallest portions out of all the illegal Pete’s I’ve been to in the area, I watched the guy put barely a scoop of each thing into my burrito. Usually I love illegal Pete’s portions compared to chipotle but this location is horrible at this. Go to any other location over this one

If you haven’t been to an Illegal Pete’s before it’s essentially a Moe’s with a bar. If you haven’t been to Moe’s it’s a less healthy Chipotle. If you haven’t been to Chipotle before you are lying.
But back to Illegal Pete’s, if you are wondering if it does either of those two things extremely well...
No, it really doesn’t. But we still love them for trying and merging two things that belong together. The food is pretty good after a few Prickly...
