The Word from Pete's

Tuesdays just got a little more meaningful at Illegal Pete’s.

While most people think of Taco Tuesday as an excuse to load up on tacos and margaritas (and we fully support that), we like to make ours about something bigger: saying thanks to the people who care for our communities every single day.

There are food fans, and then there are burrito people. Burrito people are built differently. They schedule their day around burrito cravings. They have opinions about foil wrapping, salsa ratios, and tortilla integrity. They probably know exactly where the closest Illegal Pete’s is at all times.

You’ve probably noticed it. Groceries cost more. Rent costs more. Even your favorite cup of coffee somehow costs more. These days, it can feel like everything is creeping up in price, but your paycheck isn’t keeping pace. That’s where Illegal Pete’s comes in.

Turning 21 is a big deal. You’ve waited years to officially raise a glass, and now it’s time to celebrate in true Pete’s style. Whether you’re ready to toast with your first margarita, gather your friends for a patio party, or just enjoy good food and good vibes, Illegal Pete’s is your go-to spot for a birthday you’ll actually remember (well, mostly).

Whether you’re moving into the dorms for the first time or heading back for another round of campus life, one thing never changes: you need a place where you can eat well, hang out with friends, and reset between the chaos of classes. That’s where Illegal Pete’s comes in.

It’s that time of year again when the weather gets cold, the flannel comes on, and it’s time for a delicious taste of Illegal Pete’s Green Chile. Here at Illegal Pete’s, we know how nice it is to visit an old friend during the holidays, and that’s why we're excited to reintroduce our classic Green Chile Burrito as our featured LTO.
