Was Brie Chen at Illegal Pete's a mag?
This place is like a chipotle, but if chipotle was gourmet and 1000x better. I got a burrito with carnitas and other toppings and all the ingredients were so fresh and flavorful. They do this thing where they mix the burrito up so everything is equally distributed. I actually discovered this place because my AP chem teacher recommended it, and it was a very very good recommendation. View all feedback.

What Camden Castillo dislikes about Illegal Pete's:
The food was tasty, but it unfortunately sent me to the bathroom for half an hour afterward. I also have a strong suspicion that the chicken was old, as there were bits of meat in my burrito that were as hard as rocks. View all feedback.

I used to be a huge fan of Chipotle, but now don’t even go there anymore. I am addicted to the Big Potato burrito here. It takes a while to prepare, but boy is it worth the wait! Do yourself a favor and get yourself something illegal ;

Illegal Pete’s trumps almost all other make-before your eyes burrito joints like Chipotle or Q’doba… there is simply no comparison. An Illegal Pete’s burrito is truly a thing of beauty. They are huge and roughly the size of a small Nerf football (share with a friend if you’re not up to having a food coma back at the office but they’re packed with tasty fresh ingredients which are thoroughly MIXED so that you get a bite of each tasty flavor without a glut of rice or a wad of guacamole in one end but not in the middle… (hate that! The Big Potato Burrito (as the comments suggest! is to die for. I opt for it without sour cream and with light cheese but it is great with the sauteed red peppers and squash, black or pinto beans and the yummy, infamous potatoes. The iced tea is very good and they always serve fresh lemon slices.
