Owner of Mexican restaurant 'Illegal Pete's' won't change name 'offensive to immigrants' because it memorializes his father who died of cancer
A Mexican restaurant owner says he won't change the name of his establishment some community members find offensive to illegal immigrants.
The restaurant in Denver, Colorado has been named Illegal Pete's for many years and owner Pete Turner says the name wasn't meant to offend and was named after his rambunctious father with whom he shared a name.

It’s good to see someone finally standing up to political correctness.

It’s “Illegal Pete” not “Ilegal Pedro” and if it were, so what. Just like “Sambo’s” restaurant was named after the owners, not the fictional character who was Indian, not black.

There was a cheesesteak place in Philly called Chink’s Steaks, that was beloved and busy. Activists started bugging until the owner changed the name to Joe’s Steaks. Customer traffic died, at least for a time after the name change.

There was a Mexican restaurant that was opening up here in CT a few years ago. They made them change the name. What was the name, you ask? CA Jones.

How would the name “Illegal Pete’s” be offensive to legal immigrants?

Illegal Pete’s is waaaaaay better than the dog food Chipoltle dishes out. Pete’s steak actually has meat. Chipoltle is 100% gristle.
