" I have visited Illegal Pete’s multiple times, and while I generally enjoy the food and atmosphere, my last experience fell a bit short. The tacos were delicious as always, but I found the portions to be smaller than I remembered. Additionally, the service was slower than usual, perhaps due to being busy that night. I still appreciate the authentic flavors and will be back again, but I hope for a more consistent experience next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" Illegal Pete's is a trendy place that everyone seems to rave about. I went there for dinner and while the food was definitely good, I don't think it stood out amongst the competition. The burritos were tasty but not overly impressive in size. The ambiance was lively, but the hustle and bustle made service a bit lacking during busy hours. That said, I enjoyed my time and may go again if I’m in the area. " (*Curated Review*)

" Illegal Pete's is quickly becoming my go-to spot for Mexican food in Denver. The fish tacos were absolutely divine – just the right amount of seasoning with generous portions of fish. The ambiance is relaxed and perfect for a casual lunch or dinner, and the staff is always friendly and welcoming. I also love the fact that they offer a variety of fresh toppings. The prices reflect the quality, making it a worthwhile dining experience. Highly recommend! " (*Curated Review*)

" Craving late-night tacos? Illegal Pete’s is the place to be! I went there with some friends after a night out, and I was really impressed with the quality. The fish tacos were incredibly fresh and flavorful, and the guacamole on the side was to die for. The atmosphere was perfect for winding down after a busy evening. Highly satisfied with this place, and will definitely revisit soon! " (*Curated Review*)
