This place is like a chipotle, but if chipotle was gourmet and 1000x better. I got a burrito with carnitas and other toppings and all the ingredients were so fresh and flavorful. They do this thing where they mix the burrito up so everything is equally distributed. I actually discovered this place because my AP chem teacher recommended it, and it was a very very good recommendation.

Great food and Atmosphere. It reminds me of Chipotle, only better. I had the Baja Fish Burrito with Rice. It was very good. I highly recommend this place to anyone in the area. We will be back. Thanks for the great food and nice staff. Come see it for yourself. The prices are very good too.

Went in on a Saturday evening and ordered the Baja fish bowl. The dish was made within 5 minutes. Unbeknownst to me, the fish was fried, which just doesn't agree with me stomach. I explained this to the cashier and the assistant Manager quickly intervened.
In his good faith, he righted my wrong and stepped on the line to get me a chicken and rice bowl. The new dish was delicious and I'm thoroughly impressed by the customer service at this location. Highly recommended 😎

Food was savory and fresh. It was very loud and difficult to hear tho, the staff didn't communicate well either, didn't speak up or seem to know how things ran very well. They may have been new. My college kids live eating hear and go a couple of times a month.

First time to Illegal Pete's while we were on vacation in the Denver area as we heard it was better than Chipotle. The food was good but at the time we went they were doing a lot of carryout orders and has to wait longer than we should have. The food was better than Chipotle and a lot more selection. I would recommend giving it a try.

My friends and I thought it was decent. Not quite as good as Cafe Mexicali or Chipotle 😩 Lettuce could be more shredded 🔪🥬 Chips are kind of stale but the salsa was good💃
