Colorado Based Mexican Restaurant Trades Beer and Margs for Tickets

Tickets to a concert, or tickets to a game are a ton of fun. Parking tickets are not. But now, one Colorado restaurant chain is making sure you can turn that proverbial frown upside down by letting you trade that ticket for something better.

Illegal Pete's, with locations across Colorado and Arizona, with one on Walnut in Fort Collins, now allow you to bring in any parking ticket you've received and trade it for a free margarita or draft beer with the purchase of any adult entree.

Illegal Pete's said in a press release, "Think of it as a small win in the middle of a not-so-great moment." That sounds about right.

The offer is valid for customers who are dining in and must bring a copy of their parking ticket to be redeemed for their free marg or beer with a purchase of a regular priced adult entree.

In addition to Walnut in Fort Collins, Illegal Pete's has several locations across the Denver Metro area, plus a few in Boulder, one in Colorado Springs and even one in Tucson, Arizona. I spent a decade living in Tucson, Arizona one year. Read that twice and you'll realize I didn't love that venture too much.

Tacos, burritos, bowls and more, Illegal Pete's has become a popular go-to spot for Mexican fare in the state of Colorado, and now can be the first place you visit after discovering you got a parking ticket.
