    It had been years since I had been to an Illegal Pete's, and now I'm wondering why. The food was quite tasty, all the preparations & toppings you'd expect, made by very friendly folks, and enjoyed in a great space inside & out (with water misters going). The line did get a bit long at peak lunch rush, but it moves along.

    Work lunch. Long line. Answer? Mobile app. Ordered, waited 10 minutes, got hot fresh food. Good order choice - proteins, veggies, sides. Great hot sauce. Limited drink options. A place to go because it's unique or Denver? No. A place for a reliable, fresh, timely lunch? Yes.

    Beat the lines and order online during the busy work week lunch crowd. I can't say I love Illegal Pete's but I have been heading here vs. Chipotle recently so maybe I'm now converted?
