NikkiMay 7, 2013Love the food but they really need to procure a new to go bowl system. I'm sensing a disaster riding my bike.
Rus "Docta" CordovaAugust 17, 2011Before Chipotle, there was Illegal Pete's!!! By far the best "Big Fat Burrito" joint in town! Don't sleep on Illegal Pete's!
If the regular burrito is more than you need, get the kid sized one. It's still big enough to fill you up and is less expensive.
Impressed with everything I have had here even an hour after my lunch :-))
Jillian WardMarch 21, 2013Best food ever. You have to try their chicken burritos. Will blow your mind.
Ben WilliamsJune 23, 2014This place is so heads and shoulders above Chipotle and Qdoba that it's hard just thinking about
The Weekend NomadNovember 21, 2014The potato green chili is AMAZING. I've missed this place so much.
Giang PhamDecember 20, 2016This place is kinda like Chitpole but comes with a bar. Go for Happy Hour.
Jeffrey GrovesJanuary 7, 2013The servers here are generally disinterested... But they are cooler than you are so they probably get a pass on being courteous.

Try the "Black and Green." Shredded beef burrito with black beans, green salsa, lettuce, jalapeño, cilantro, and black olives. Yum!

Franco CalizMarch 8, 2016The service here was atrocious. It was like they were doing me a favor for paying. And it's happened twice now. Not worth putting up with their attitude for good but not stellar fast food.
They never have enough Chululuh!! For PETE's sake! Order more!!!

"Great location downtown. Tree/Rock Display in center field was very scenic. Thin air causes a lot of home runs. If you need help deciding which Seats to purchase for your next Rockies game, check out"
