Great food with a wonderful location. The Baja Tacos are a must! You can do À La Carte with the tacos if you only want one or two. The staff are friendly and a up-beat ambiance makes for a enjoyable experience.

More fun and more fresh than Chipotle across the street. Staff is always helpful. They have a bar. It turns into a college kid bar atmosphere at night. Good place to watch football.

Tacos are best bang for your buck here. Barbacoa is way to go as well.

They treat their employees like dogs. If they don’t like you they fire anyone and will make up reasons as to what they did wrong. This establishment uses their power and authority to be little their employees and inappropriately touch them. There is no excuse why a manager is touching their employees and speaking of private matters. This establishment needs new leaders and not more construction on the building. Fix the inside first. As well as the food being unseasoned and over or under cooked

Five years ago, I went here for the first date with my now wife (we didn’t really know it was a date at the time!). The food is still spectacular, and the vibe is nice and calm. We both got the Baja fish tacos, which were fried to perfection! The tacos were light with the right amount of slaw and sauce, and we’d come back here any time, if we lived remotely near Tucson! Highly recommend Illegal Pete’s, but go on the early side as the line can get quite long at lunch.

Food is good… when served appropriately. Employees love to short-change you on serving sizes. After doing so, they will do everything in their power to try and charge you for “double” meat after serving you an extra small portion initially.

Extremely rude employees. The food is good but just go across the street to chipotle and you’ll get the same thing for cheaper and the employees are way nicer. Wish I could say it’s a one time thing but I’ve consistently had multiple employees go out of their way to be rude. Manager needs to train them in basic manners. (Female with red dyed hair is the worst one)

Giving Chipotle, Gentle Ben’s, and Frog a run for their money, keep it up, beautiful spot on university! Huge bar upstairs and food served late. This place has the best happy hour on University and it is typically not packed during those hours. Their up stairs seating isn’t particularly comfortable but the food and drinks are fantastic! Their balcony is a lot of fun for people watching and enjoying the beautiful weather.
