2 Quesadillas, Chips and Guac, a beer and 2 soft drinks. $31!!! Outrageous for assembly-line style food I can make in a dorm room with a hot plate. I d price this meal around $12-$15. Probably cost the restaurant less than $3 total to make. Only positive is that they didn t skip on the guac. It s open late, so I m sure this spot is great for the late-night drunchies or munchies. For the sober Boulder visitor looking for a great meal, though, this ain t it. The place seems to be popular and doing well, but I have a suspicion that it s because Illegal Pete s most frequent patrons are college kids armed with their parents credit card, not knowing just how badly Mom & Dad are getting ripped off.
