  • Tasty vegan options in Old Town--great happy hour!

How do I love Illegal Pete's? Let me count the ways: -Free guacamole in vegan burritos, bowls & tacos -Free chips & salsa with bar purchase during happy hour (M-Sun 3-8pm) -Inexpensive food & margaritas -Burrito contents are mixed together before rolling -Large rooftop patio It seems the hubby and I head to Illegal Pete's at least once a week. As money is tight, we LOVE their generous happy hours and tasty margaritas ($4 during HH). If we are not hungry for a 'meal,' we have a couple of drinks with the HH free chips & salsa and a side of black beans. Tip: if you're like me and don't like sweet margaritas, order yours "half sour/half soda." Staff is very friendly. Large variety of tortillas available (all vegan). Two types of veggies--Primavera (contain small amount of honey) and Fajita (vegan). Two types of beans (black & pinto--both vegan); two types of rice (brown & Cilantro Lime--both vegan); lots of fixings. We generally stick to tasty vegan burritos ($7), but bowls available as GF option. There are two bars--we prefer the cozy atmosphere at the upstairs bar which is more adult-friendly. But, during sunny weather, it can be difficult to find a table upstairs. When it's warm out, the large rooftop patio is a good choice if you don't mind the sun. In addition to the food, I really enjoy the atmosphere. We sometimes go for a long bike ride before visiting. Luckily, we have no qualms stopping at IP's for a drink despite being sweaty! Because you can customize your food, it is very allergen-friendly. We have a friend with several allergies (soy, gluten, nuts, etc.) and IP's is a safe place for him to eat. Basically, eating & drinking at Illegal Pete's is easy. No stress about what to order.
