I write this review really disappointed because I swear by this place and loyally go whenever I feel like having Mexican food, but tonight I ordered enchiladas with beef and threw one out. The beef was one huge piece, chewy, fatty, AND tasted off, like plastic or chemical. It was inedible. I don’t think I’ll be going as frequently or ever ordering the beef enchiladas again. Big bummer

Taqueria Talavera was good! I’m a burrito person and decided to try a different type of burrito instead of my regular carne asada. I decided to go with the specialty Mole burrito and it was spicy and flavorful, I was shocked how good it was. They had music playing also, so while you wait for your food you can could enjoy the music. The service was fast and efficient although I showed up close to closing time, I would for sure eat here again.

We adore this place! Very friendly, professional service, great food, charming interior and exterior. The chilaquiles are exceptional, and I love their plantain dish for something smaller. We've also had them cater for my daughter's birthday parties: they're always very reliable, & the kids love the burritos.

The city of Albany has many great culinary gems and food s often overlooked. Today we indulged on Mexican cuisine at Talavera. The welcome greeting started things off. The staff was smiling and happy which really helped to turn our day around. There are daily specials posted and a robust menu of quality made to order dishes. We love family businesses and this family really has it together.
