Explore Illegal Pete's Lodo menu featuring burritos, quesadillas, and breakfast favorites. Located at 1610 16th St Mall, Denver offers fast-casual Mexican flavors with kid-friendly options and meal delivery.
Illegal Pete's Lodo in downtown Denver offers a vibrant take on fast-casual Mexican cuisine, centered around customizable burritos, bowls, and classic favorites. Their Baja Fish Burrito stands out as a signature dish, boasting crispy beer-battered fish paired with fresh cabbage, salsa fresca, zesty Baja sauce, and a lime squeeze—perfectly balanced and priced around $10.29. The menu also caters thoughtfully to families, featuring a kids' selection that includes smaller burritos, bowls, quesadillas, and even hand-rolled taquitos dubbed “Silly Sticks.”
Beverage options complement the menu well, with Mexican Coke, Jarritos, and Whole30-approved Hoplark CitraHop sparkling water. Diners appreciate the self-service style, quick turnover, and ample seating, making it an inviting spot for a casual meal. While some find the food comparable to other fast-casual chains, fans praise the flavor-packed carnitas and the recently added OGCB bowl.

A great fast casual store: easy to get you burrito etc how you like it, and seating is plentiful while also clean. An upgrade over chipotle, glad to see there's other competitors in this space. Smothered carnitas burrito was what I got. It's filling and has as much flavor as you'd expect for the price point.
