" I visited Illegal Pete's last week and had a great time. The decor is vibrant and sets a relaxed mood. I tried the fish tacos, and they were very flavorful, although a bit messy to eat. The service was friendly and efficient, which was refreshing. The prices are fair considering the portion sizes too. I’d recommend it to anyone looking for a casual Mexican meal in Denver!

" Could not believe how affordable the food was at Illegal Pete's! I ordered a chicken burrito that was as large as my arm. The flavor was good, and the staff was very friendly.
