Was Ryann D at Illegal Pete's a mag?
Not from Denver and took a chance on this place. In my honest opinion this place was alright. I expected more from it! I think there is better Mexican food options around. Overall, I think the food was a little disappointing for the price. The service queso were good. This place would’ve been 3 stars for me food wise, but since they had rainbow flags I’m raising it to 4!!! View all feedback.

What Clay Wilderman dislikes about Illegal Pete's:
I miss the old setup and menu at this restaurant. The flavors of the food seemed to have changed. The staff were friendly, but I agree with others that the music was too loud and customers were talking loudly too. The tables were available but dirty at 3 pm. Overall, this place may not be for everyone. View all feedback.

Love the location and love the look of this place which has great food and a good selection of drinks (both alcoholic and your typical soda selection)
