This restaurant is an excellent representation for Mexican restaurants on this bland intersection (Fullerton, Halsted, etc) Allende is the place I go when Im hungry and need some true Mexican food. The cashier gets my order right every time and the food is DELICIOUS! My small gripe is they only accept card or cash, not the Apple Pay thing, but this is a small price to pay for the best tacos and milkiest horchata in Lincoln Park.

Been going here since I started school. They gave me the wrong food and started an argument stating I should check my food before I leave and they can roll back cameras (there cameras have no sound). Tacos are mid and they raised their prices but quality is still below average. Rude people to deal with overall.

The low rating is crazy. These are some of the best tacos in town. 40 year old seasoned grill.

Good food, good prices, good service

Overpriced and steak on tacos is cut into micro-bits. In other words, you barely get any steak taco meat.

El Allende is a really awful place. The moment you walk in, the vibe is tense because the place looks so ugly and run-down. The cashier is rude and completely unprofessional, and honestly, the staff overall is just terrible. I had a completely negative experience. Don’t bother going.

This the type of horchata that make you wanna leave a review. Best I ever had burrito was so yum as well
Tacos are great. Full, flavorful and a true value. If you’re out in Chicago and are craving tacos - this is the place. Bring your napkins, bring your alcohol laden stomachs. This is it.

I want to be fair with this review because after reading the reviews below, it sounds like some of these people haven’t left the neighborhood hood and don’t actually have a great pallet for taste. Especially the person who claims to have been coming here for 30 years.
The staff is very friendly, the lady up front at the register is very sweet and I truly appreciate the hospitality. Now let’s get to my order.
3 steak tacos and an order of chips and salsa. My chips were a little stale and unsalted which unfortunately is a little upsetting but the homemade salsa was great.
The tacos However, were surprisingly a new experience for me. They were Presented very nicely and were very filling. As far as taste goes, I felt the steak did not have much seasoned flavor. It was kind of basic and what you would imagine a basic steak taco to taste like. But they were loaded up and did fill me up for lunch today.
I did enjoy myself despite sitting at a table that was angled and leaning to the floor and the unsalted and stale chips. Maybe today was an off day for them today.
