Stopped here for a quick bite. It’s similar to the Chipotle model however I enjoyed it much more. I had the chicken and steak bowl which was delicious. They have all kinds of toppings and salsa but the difference from other places a small bag of tortilla chips is included which I found to be a nice touch. I would absolutely come back to try the rest of the menu. Service was prompt & friendly, the ingredients were fresh and the atmosphere was relaxed. There’s also a bar to sit at if you’d like a drink.

Solid Mexican spot on Mill Ave and a damn good place for a pregame before a night out. If you’ve been to chipotle then you know exactly what to do. You pick your style (burrito, bowl, quesadilla, etc.), protein of choice, and as much toppings as you want. Prices are decent and portions are not missed here. They do have a functioning bar so you can order bevvies there. I love that beatbox was only $7 there but they only sell fruit punch and blue razz and to be honest with you they really need to add the hard tea to their arsenal. Also playing devil’s advocate and hoping they’ll bring back the slushie machine so people can get blended beatbox beverages. Either way, it’s a damn good time and certainly one you won’t regret.

This is my favorite place to eat on mill! Their burritos are HUGE and I really like that they mix all of the ingredients in the tortilla so each bite is balanced instead of getting a mouth full of sour cream on your first bite! Really good bar deals and they have buy one get one entrees for teachers and health care workers on Tuesdays which is awesome. In addition to the bogo they also have free trivia nights on Tuesday and $2 tacos! You NEED to come here!

The initial comparison you get to order here is Chipotle, but I think Pete’s is a step ahead of Chipotle in a few ways. The ingredients are noticeably more fresh, the steak and queso were warm, and it was overall, just a better experience. The free chips are awesome and were perfect for scooping out of my bowl. They also have a bar and many happy hour specials/promos (if that’s your thing). If I’m ever craving Chipotle now, I go to Pete’s instead!

Good selection of beers on tap!! Having the food separate from the bar was a bit strange but we didn't eat, so not sure if you can put the food on your bar tab or not. Seems like a great place for watching sports.

I love coming here and sitting at the bar for drinks and to watch sports. They have a place to order food which is very much like Chipotle. The margaritas are really good and only $3 on Mondays. These are not the typical tiny glasses. Full size glass with plenty of alcohol. Marissa is one of the bartenders and she really makes a great drink. If you are in the area, I recommend you stop by and have a drink and some food. They have daily specials.

Great local food option. Loved the Mexican vibe with outdoor seating. Tacos were really yum and they made it the just the way I wanted it. Also enjoyed the special margarita which is a separate counter within the restaurant. Cool vibe and great music too. This place won’t disappoint you.

Highly recommend, delicious tacos, budget friendly, large indoor/outdoor patio, outstanding ambiance - loved the music. . Good for singles, couples, groups. Lots of different kinds of taco fillings, build your own - large portions. We had beef with potatos (yum!) and rice. Also, a great bar! Margareta Mondays!
