Fort Collins, CO✓ Verified
Caesar's Take
Illegal Pete's feels like what people wish some of the bigger fast-casual chains still were. Fresh ingredients, strong margaritas, and a rooftop patio that gets surprisingly good once the weather warms up. Half the crowd is grabbing burritos before heading downtown and the other half already ordered another round upstairs. Easy spot when you want something more fun and less corporate than the usual burrito routine.
What to order
Get the Mexican Coke carnitas burrito, a side of queso, and a Coin-Style margarita.
Patio
Big rooftop deck with great afternoon sun, strong margaritas, and enough separation from the street that it almost forgets it's downtown. One of the better casual rooftop hangs in Fort Collins once patio season finally kicks in.
More details
Signature move
Head upstairs around happy hour, split a Party Marg with friends, and camp out on the rooftop before Old Town gets chaotic later at night.
Good to know
The downstairs ordering line gets brutal late at night once the bar crowd starts flooding in after 10pm.
