" Having heard so much about Illegal Pete's, I was eager to try their food. The flavors are genuinely vibrant, and the staff is quite friendly. I tried a mixture of dishes, including the famous salsa and fish tacos, both were excellent. The only downside was finding a seat took a bit of time due to the popularity of the place. I will definitely be back to explore more of the menu and enjoy the atmosphere! " (*Curated Review*)

" Illegal Pete's has been a go-to for me since college! The build-your-own concept is a hit, and they always have fresh and authentic ingredients. I recently had the carne asada burrito, and it was packed full of flavor! The lighting and decor gives it a cozy vibe, perfect for hanging out with friends. My only complaint is sometimes the waits can be long, but it's worth it for the food and atmosphere! " (*Curated Review*)

" Illegal Pete's is a staple I hear about all the time, and I finally decided to swing by. The burrito I ordered was good, but I must say it did not live up to the hype I had built in my mind. It was very tasty still and fresh, but I wish I had some extra sides or something to complement it, as I felt underwhelmed by the size. The staff was friendly, however, and the place was clean. I'd check it out again on a future trip! " (*Curated Review*)

" 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*)

" I can't talk highly enough about my visit to Illegal Pete’s! The nachos were extremely generous and shared easily amongst my friends. The vibe was super chill, and the whole place just felt welcoming. The bartender made some excellent recommendations for drinks! For great Mexican food in Denver, this place really hits the mark. I can’t wait to introduce it to my other friends too! " (*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*)
