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.

If being illegal is this good, call me El Chapo. Awesome place full of Boulder history and has the love of the locals for good reason.
