Reviews for Illegal Pete's - South Broadway in Denver, CO
I was expecting this place to be similar to other other Mexican type restaurants where you go down the line and select your... ingredients, of which I'll leave unnamed, and I wasn't very excited to try it out. However, I was very surprised by the qualityand freshness of the food! It was absolutely fantastic and must say that my wife's fish tacos were incredible. I look forwardto my next time and trying other items out. BTW, service was great as well. Read more
For was great aside from 2 issues. Not much for parking as their lot is small. But the bigger issue I had was small broken bones... in the chicken. Other than that, the atmosphere is great and so was the food. Great flavor. Read more
So good! It's super delicious. There was a bit of a line when I arrived on a Saturday night, I was thinking about getting my... order to go since it seemed so crowded but I saw the big beer tap so I changed my mind. I'm glad I did. The food was superdelicious, my picture doesn't do it justice because I had them cover my bowl with lettuce but I got the Spanish brown rice, bothtyped of beans and cheese in there with warm corn tortillas on the side to make my own tacos. The bowl was great, I have enoughleftover to make more tacos at home. The beans were nicely seasoned, the rice was tasty, the meat was super flavorful andtender. Seriously though the taquitos were outstanding, highly highly recommended them. They are small for the price but it'sbecause they are hand rolled with quality ingredients and come with guac or queso, I'd get them every time! The service isoutstanding, really what sets this place apart. The builders really keep the line moving, the runner gets the food out to you assoon as it's ready and the bartender is quick to make really great suggestions. I loved the beer he suggested! He also had someinsights on the brewey, which I'll also check out. Really outstanding service. Cool vibe, great for groups, families with kids,or going on your own. There's bocce ball too! Read more
Long line when we arrived but didn't wait more then 10 minutes before we had some tacos and nachos ready to go. Great vibes... from the employees, really friendly helping us out on our first visit. Bar and food was separated which also made the processgo quicker. Read more
Quick and friendly service, food was good but not a ton of flavor. No A/C, so just a heads up on a really hot day.
Flavor, flavor, flavor! Some people compare this to chipotle/qdoba but I don?t even think they can be placed in the same... category. The individual flavors of the veggies, the tender beef, the variety of textures and deliciousness is a vibe. Veryeccentric little place. Loved it, worth the wait! Can?t believe I?ve lived here all my life and had heard of it multiple timesand had never been. No doubt I?ll be back. Very efficient service, too! Read more
must try baja style fish taco.. ambience is good, parking available next to the restaurant. Friendly staff and burritos quanity... is good too but didn't like the fried potato that much, it was too dry and hence -1 star. Read more
The food was amazing. The people are lively and happy. Very clean. Lots of stickers everywhere. Does get super busy and crowded... by 1 or 2pm. When I travel back to Denver, Colorado I'll stop by again. Read more
