Illegal Pete's - Colfax - Burrito restaurant in Denver - 2001 E Colfax Ave, USA

On a hot summer day, it was the outside patio with water sprayers drew us into this establishment. The atmosphere, on a Sunday afternoon, was high energy, more crowded than is comfortable and too loud for conversation, but folks appeared to be enjoying themselves in large groups, families, and couples tucked in corners. The menu was basic with burritos and tacos at the center. The food and portions were decent for the price. The service was quick and friendly as we made our way down the buffet style line. It isn't a bad spot to stop if you're more about socializing than eating.

My 1st time here and the food was just OK. Burritos are big but for $10-14 for just a burrito depending on what you get inside, it can get a bit pricey. Nice layout with a big open patio and a good draft beer selection. The staff was also very friendly and helpful.

The breakfast tacos and burritos keep me coming back every time I'm in town! This location had a large outdoor patio with plenty of seating and very cool atmosphere with seating inside as well. A huge bar! A large parking lot in back. We had super friendly service and they even pointed us in the direction of a great local coffee shop.

Had a great time at Illegal Pete’s. My biggest takeaway was how inexpensive drinks were. In addition to inexpensive drinks, the food was good, the bartender was really nice and they had a good beer selection. The biggest highlight had to be the bathroom mirrors, because the restroom had two mirrors instead of one which meant two mirror selfies.

Lived in Denver Metro for 28 years and just tried Illegal Pete's. Will not be the last time. Working in Denver over the summer, a friend recommended IP's so I decided to try. Read their bio and saw the local farms they work with; locally sourced? Can't beat that. I had a taco salad with the Mexican Coke simmered pork(yum), cilantro lime rice and summer squash, fresh guacamole and queso. Portions are nice, pork is delicious and everything is fresh and yummy. Delivery was fast with tracking texts. I recommend trying Illegal Pete's if you haven't. They have a breakfast menu too.

The food was decent. Nothing too special or too bland. We did not have any alcoholic beverages. Probably it is more suitable for drinking and having food on the side and not the other way round. Noticed that they have a great collection of beers. Liked the location, building and ambience.

Great for a fast and inexpensive bite. They have breakfast, too!

Fun atmosphere and good food. Nothing outstanding but it’s good and pretty quick. The portions are a good size, the staff is friendly and a quick moving line. Their salad with 3 can carnitas was yummy, the nachos are good but get soggy quick, and their fish tacos with beer battered fish are good. Price is decent for what you get.
