Illegal Pete's Gold's

The patio is great. It's a shame the food sucks.i have tried 4 different items. The meat is chewy. The bowls have no flavor and the quesdillas are greasy. Really want to love this place. The location and patio are great but the food .......

Darn! Was so excited for this place to open but the prices are crazy. I got a vegetarian bowl that cost more than my husband’s meat burrito because I added potatoes. Unbeknownst to me the potatoes (!?) are an additional charge?? A tiny scoop of potatoes added $1.50. I can see adding a charge for guacamole but… potatoes? The chips and queso portion was so sadly small for $5. I want to support local but this is a tough one.

Illegal Pete's is a fantastic spot with outstanding service, delicious food, and an incredible atmosphere. From the moment you walk in, Kayla and Dillon make you feel right at home with their friendly and attentive service. The menu offers a great variety of fresh and flavorful options that cater to all tastes. The lively and vibrant ambiance adds to the overall experience, making it perfect for both casual outings and special occasions. The restaurant is always clean and well-maintained, reflecting their attention to detail. I highly recommend Illegal Pete's for anyone looking for a top-notch dining experience!

I placed a catering order for my son’s graduation party. I ordered for 20 people and there was quite a bit of leftovers. Which I was happy about. Everything tasted great! There were so many toppings so people could really customize their tacos. There were even chocolate chip cookies for dessert. The only issue was I had left a message for someone to call me and no one did and then I called and spoke to someone and she left a note for someone to call me and still no one did. But in the end, it all worked out perfectly, and I would definitely order from them again.

Tastes nothing like the original Pete’s on Evans. The queso tastes like nacho cheese with peppers inside. Save your money and go to the original.

Visited this evening and my pork burrito was out of this world! I rarely write reviews but I felt like everyone really cared about my first Pete’s experience being great. Potatoes were nice and crispy on the outside but soft on the inside. They even mix the burrito before rolling so you don’t get a full bite of avocado! My house margarita was also on point for such a reasonable price. I don’t live too close but I will definitely go out of my way to visit again.

If you're looking for Mission style burritos and related fare, Illegal Pete's is the best. This location has an awesome setup and a great vibe. Glad to have this location on the west side. By all indicators, they're a conscientious employer and treat their staff well. I've been a fan since they were only in Boulder, and it's great to see their success.

*NOW OPEN!* Been looking forward to the opening for a while. Doesn’t disappoint. Great food and awesome deck with a view of the park. What’s not to like?

Lunch/dinner food here is almost as good as downtown and could benefit from better trained staff. Ordering here is horrifically slow; for some reason the same person you start with to ask for a burrito/bowl/nachos, etc. also asks you what else you'd like while pointing to the salsas and toppings even though that's an entirely different "station" and you just have to repeat yourself once you get there. This makes the line not run smoothly at all. The employees don't seem to know what's on the menu even though they try to get you to order ahead which is frustrating 1. Because it isn't that hard and 2. As a patron I had it down in 5 minutes of menu review. Patio is really great, but the misters make all of the tables and chairs under them soaking wet. Fortunately they seem to be on a timer and don't run constantly. Have been here 3 times and have not yet witnessed a bartender I'd feel confident in getting a good drink from. The negative observation is all small stuff in the grand scheme; I'll still come back every weekend for my lunchtime burrito fix because the food is very good, the restaurant is clean, staff making and serving food is bend-over backward friendly and the patio is awesome!

I remember when Illegal Pete's was good. It is just not this location that is disappointing. I was at the Pearl Street location two weeks ago and same lackluster food as this location. What happened to the flavor? Pete - you should have stuck with no more than five stores. With each new store opening, the whole company gets worse.

Love this place. Great food and service! Clean as well. Bar area and patio are fantastic

Cool place for sure. Nice atmosphere. Burrito was okay. I feel like it needed more flavor. (And I added a lot to it.) Queso was really good. Make sure to get that. But burrito wise, just average. Did get the virgin margarita and it was good. Thought it was going to be frozen bc of the app but it wasn't. Which was fine.

My husband and I live in the area and have been looking forward to Golds marketplace filling in. We stopped in for lunch on the weekend but were happy to stumble into breakfast. We pivoted to a breakfast burrito for my husband and a bean/rice/egg/guacamole bowl for myself. We thought the flavors were solid and it was a good burrito. The space is nice to look over paramount park too. We will definitely be stopping in on a semi routine basis.

The food is ok but the service is consistently terrible. We've been there 3 times since they opened and they've messed up our order or we've had to wait an insanely long time every time. Hopefully it's just an adjustment as they learn but so far it's a pretty bad.

Delish. I've always been a fan of illegal Pete's and was so excited to see one within walking distance of my house! It did not disappoint, my chicken burrito was chunky and delicious. Second day opening and I was impressed with how quick it was on a busy Friday night. The queso and chips were slightly on the lighter side everything else was great!

I absolutely love illegal Pete's but damn this location is absolutely beautiful and absolutely lacks the quality service that the other locations have. Food was messed up (they forgot an entire persons order of our group), drinks from the bar took forever to make when we were the only people at the bar ordering. Highly recommend for a lax time with good views. "You get what you get" Now going back for a second drink, witnessed the bartender be blatantly rude to a customer and then still take her slow time to make the drink after rudely responding to the customer. Watched multiple people give up on trying to get drinks after she was rude and they all just went back to their tables. Would have loved a second drink...that's why I left my tab open..took a lifetime for the bartender to get anything done for anyone, by the time she came I just closed out my tab because it had been over fifteen minutes waiting at that point.

I had the ball of pork green chili and the pork that I found in it was very fatty I don't know maybe it was just my bowl II will order something else next time. The menu has a good variety and decent happy hour and really cool free offer for a beer if you buy an entree and show the ticket for the tickety bet you went to or going to

Great food and the atmosphere is really great too. Friendly employees and it's right in my neighborhood.

The queso dip was pretty good but burrito are mediocre, carnitas have a mushy texture and everything is just bland. Would not do again.

This is a great location for Illegal Pete's! The food is fresh and well seasoned and the portions are GREAT! Their happy hour is amazing and you can't find any other happy hour prices like this in the Denver Metro area.

I ordered a catering order for a business meeting with 25 people and they never showed up or called to tell me they couldn't fill my order. Then when I tried to contact them it kept sending me to a voicemail. This is unacceptable and very unprofessional to conduct a catering business this way. I do not recommend this location to anyone needing reliable catering.

Service was good. Food wasn't impressive at all - not bad just not even as good as chipotle or qdobas. Fish for fish tacos is straight out of the freezer to air fryer and it wasn't very appealing. Ranch is their "white sauce" for fish tacos. Yuck. Atmosphere was very loud.

Great customer service! While the place was packed and very noisy, the crew seems to do very well at caring for customers needs and bend backwards doing so. I am so glad they are in the neighborhood and appreciate that they offer a vegan friendly menu. Their vegan green chili is wonderful! They replace the meat with potatoes and it is really tasty. Their burrito menu offers great options for no meat and no dairy. I will support this new business in our neighborhood - so glad you are here - welcome to the neighborhood!

I've been driving by this illegal petes sign for what feels like forever waiting for this location to open as I have been a long time fan! I showed up Tuesday evening and was shocked by how busy it was for a Tuesday but the line went by pretty quickly. The music was fun and everyone seemed to be in a great mood. The neighborhood really needed something like this and it shows by the turn out. It had been awhile since I had been at a Petes but they walked me through it like I had never left! Food was hot and hit the spot! I met the bar manager Cam and I would be lying if I didn't offer him a job working for me. Knowledgeable, respectful, grateful for my business. I will 100% make this one of my regular spots!

I usually love the Baja Fish Tacos at the location in Denver! I thought I'd try this new location! Terrible the battered fried fish was weird. We asked and they told us they air fry the fish! No wonder the batter was not a golden brown! Yuck get back to basics please and fry in oil! Even the corn tortillas didn't hold its own but disintegrated!
