Lively DU-area burrito spot with a full bar, generous portions, and vegan/gluten-free flexibility, but service speed and order accuracy vary during rushes and game nights.
Illegal Pete's DU delivers solid comfort-focused Mexican fare with tasty burritos and green chile that earn genuine repeat loyalty, but portion and preparation inconsistencies during rushes and uneven service pacing—especially during DU events—prevent grade A-grade performance. The lively post-remodel bar and generous customization options make it a reliable neighborhood choice for quick meals and casual gatherings, though not a destination restaurant.
One caveat: Online and to-go orders can lag behind walk-ins during rushes
