Great food and beer was not over priced. Would come again. Cool place to just hang out.

Shout out to the crew at Illegal Pete's! I went in yesterday with a picky group of eaters and I ordered fried fish nachos. They made the nachos perfect for my friend, even though it wasn't on the menu. They were accommodating for my two Boston Terriers (on the patio) and in general had such a great vibe. Their happiness rubs off of the whole restaurant. Thanks guys!

Very nice food you can taste every ingredient and it's not overpowering bartenders make great drinks and they are very friendly

Food was great and huge portions. Had the nachos and it was enough for 2-3 people. The staff was nice and very helpful. Had no bad experience with service or food. Will definitely come back and highly recommend it.

Delicious food at great prices. One of THE best fish burritos I've ever had. Service can be a little slower than ideal, but it's still worth it! Try the Mexican Candy Shot from the bar for a fun treat.

Online order pickup was very slow- but I completely understand that, it was simply a misjudgement of how busy this place was, and a technical issue. No real complaints there. However, when I got the food that I waited 40 minutes for, it was cold! The taste wasn't bad, but the taquitos were very tough, and the cheese on top was nowhere near melted. When I tried to call the restaurant to get a status update on my order, I wasn't able to reach anybody, but just another testament to how busy they are. Maybe a little understaffed?

Stopped by just for drinks. Sat outside at the bartop. Friendly bartender. Perfect spot on Mill Ave. for people/car watching. Chill place. Will go back and try the food.

Edited to add HH times and correct my spelling! :) This was a fun spot! Our first time in, we hit it up on Sunday. They make stiff margaritas, have a good selection of beer and other libations. We did get food as well. They only offer Mexican food-FYI. We both got the bowl. It's similar to Chipotle in the way the food is served. They have a good selection of offerings and the food was really tasty! You get a lot for your money too. Food runs around $10 +, house margaritas were $5 on HH which runs 3-6 daily. The coin margaritas were $5.50, they are a little smaller but SO good! They have a lot of TV's w/ various sports on and a great patio we can't wait to use! Our bartender was great and attentive. We'll def be back.

Food is good. Staff and ambiance is excellent. Tru dog friendly restaurant. Food is counter service. I prefer table service but still worth it.

Great environment, good food good vibes and amazing service. Happy hour you get free chips and salsa.
