" This was my first time at Illegal Pete's, and I must say it was a hit or miss. The burrito I ordered was quite good, but my dining partner's meal was not as enjoyable.

" I’ve been to Illegal Pete's several times, and while I love the vibe, I have to admit that not every meal has hit the mark. One time, my burrito was too dry; I guess it just depends on who’s behind the counter that day. Nonetheless, it remains one of my favorite go-to spots in Fort Collins for casual eats and good times. " (*Curated Review*)

" I can't believe this is my first time at Illegal Pete's! The burrito was massive and lived up to the hype. I enjoyed every bite, especially the green salsa. It's definitely one of my new favorite dining places in Fort Collins! " (*Curated Review*)
