John? The manager of this location? Amazing. What a great crew and friendly service. We held our staff holiday party at this Illegal Pete's location and their team did an awesome job making sure our spread looked beautiful. They were flexible with me, and allowed me to setup some flowers and signage ahead of the event. Now, I know what you might be thinking. You had a party? At Illegal Pete's? Yes. It's true. We locked down a section of the restaurant and bar (there's a bar! tell your friends!) by reserving a select number of tables and we did a buffet line. It went so smoothly. Can't thank this team enough (LOOKING AT YOU JOHN) for accommodating our group and making it a memorable evening. Food was delicious, too.

Loud, loud, loud. It's a shame as it will scare some customers away, but it really hurts their staff. They are impacted because they can't hear the customers who are ordering. I felt bad for them as they had to ask nearly all customers to repeat over and over in line no matter how loud we shouted our choices. It needs to be addressed immediately because it's a great location in South Boulder. We have always been a fan of the food at other Boulder locations, even back to the tiny original one on College on the Hill. Pearl has been our regular for years. In good weather , you can't beat the Hop bus for access, as it stops on that corner. But it's tiny compared to this new one. It's pretty, it's big, everything is roomy, well designed and the furniture is a big upgrade. It has a large patio for a nice day. And it is quieter out there but car traffic constantly going by. And it seemed to be filled mostly with people waiting for pickup orders.The bar is roomy and lively too. But my husband says all the beers are pale yellow varieties. He'd sure like them to add a classic amber or red ale. I love the iced tea. And another cool detail, Sweet Cow is right next door for great dessert option. Just like Pearl location has Gelato Boy next door. We are lucky here in Boulder! Fix the noise issue and I guarantee a five star updated review.

Really great addition to south boulder. Really want to love this place but candidly food is average. I think that's a general comment for all illegal Pete's versus any problems with this one. The ambience and space is great. I ordered the fish tacos and they were just ok and took a long time to make. The fish wasn't super flavorful more was the coating crispy. Kind of a bummer as I had to wait about ten minutes to order due to three line and then probably 12 minutes of wait time after my order (they do indicate that fish tacos take longer than other Items. I will return because it's close to me but not going to be my favorite.

Get the party started with 10 screens fullOf sports and a couple ofMargs. Tanner and Marquis start you off with a libation of your choosing and then you can move on down to pick up some bomber green chile. Super friendly and so loud you can lose yourself in it. If you're lucky you can meet Pete as well. Have fun!

Maybe the cleanest restaurant I've EVER been in. However, burrito was quite a bit smaller than competition, and the carnitas was maybe the DRIEST meat I've ever had served to me. I've left carnitas out for a day and it had more moisture. Used to love this place, maybe growing pains with new location, really hope food quality issues are a one off.

If you don't want your burrito wrapped, come here. We needed to bring my boys burrito to the ER for some stitches. Chicken was unseasoned. Never hit the no tip button faster in my life. I've been a loyal customer for years, and this is just what happens. Sickening.

What did I just eat. Spent 9 dollars on a thing of queso that was 1/4 filled. This place used to be my go to, now there is no way to defend it. If you want a burrito that is actually wrapped with fair portions, do not come here. Chipotle is looking like my new spot. I found a booger in my food as well, not good looks. What has this establishment become.
