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.

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.

Picture this: you and 24 of your closest friends taking over an entire patio at Illegal Pete's, surrounded by fresh Mexican food, good tunes and zero other customers competing for space. Sound like a dream? It's not—it's the ultimate reward in our V.I.Pete's loyalty program, and yes, you can actually earn it just by eating burritos and living your best life.

It’s that time of year again where 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 re-introduce our classic Green Chile Burrito as our featured LTO.
