Illegal Pete's - Colfax
A casual Mexican fast-food spot with a lively vibe and a bar, well-liked for its burritos, tacos, and vegan-friendly modifications like substituting guacamole for dairy. The menu isn't very extensive in sauces, but the vegan green chile and beans receive praise for taste and value. Outdoor seating and wheelchair accessibility create a comfortable dining experience, though service friendliness and occasional kitchen errors affect consistency.
