Illegal Pete's is heading to South Broadway

Broadway has seen plenty of Mex-and-match action this year, from the closing of 3 Monkeys Cantina to the opening of a second Zocalo and the imminent transformation of Delite into Juanita's. And now Illegal Pete's is Broadway-bound, too. See also: -Photos: Zocalo is now open on South Broadway -3 Monkeys...

Broadway has seen plenty of Mex-and-match action this year, from the closing of 3 Monkeys Cantina to the opening of a second Zocalo and the imminent transformation of Delite into Juanita's.

And now Illegal Pete's is Broadway-bound, too.

The home-grown burrito chain plans to open a third Denver location in a former auto repair spot at 270 South Broadway. And it's going not just for a liquor license, but a cabaret license, since live music is a big part of Pete's pull.

The hearing is set for September 28.
