Illegal Pete’s Burritos and more
Illegal Pete’s is a Boulder dining spot dedicated to happy repeat customers. They take the concept of the burrito to an entirely new level and deliver unparallelled food quality and customer service in the process. There are several locations of Illegal Pete’s around town.. My favorite is located on the entrance to the Pearl Street Mall.
The burrito fare here is a pleasant surprise. The food prep is all onsite and the flavors are great. I enjoyed a steak burrito with all the fixings. My friend had a burrito bowl with a warm tortilla on the side, wrapped in foil to stay toasty. Illegal Pete’s also has a bar and social scene as well as serves a great breakfast. Not only is the food great, but the establishment is clean and tidy, filled with warming sunshine and wood floors that add ambiance. There is outdoor seating for sunnier days as well.
