Big, customizable burritos and a lively bar in LoDo; tasty and filling when on form, but waits, order accuracy, and service inconsistency can frustrate during rushes.
Illegal Pete's LoDo delivers satisfying, generously-portioned burritos with solid food quality when fresh, supported by a fun bar scene and convenient downtown location. However, inconsistent execution during rushes—cold burritos, assembly errors, and isolated safety concerns—along with uneven service quality prevent a higher grade. Best experienced off-peak or for quick casual hangs rather than reliable sit-down dining.
One caveat: Lines of 20–30 minutes are common at lunch and before events; fish orders add prep time
