Allende Restaurant #2
Ryan Belom · 241 Google reviewsAllende Restaurant #2 — mexican in Lincoln Park. The decor hasn't changed, and it doesn't need to. Technique and tradition show up on every plate. Quick and efficient, open late. C A: "Their hot sauce is actually spicy, and the tacos, burritos and quesadillas are all super tasty" [$]

“Open super late on the weekends and serving truly amazing Mexican food, Allende is a staple of the neighborhood and a true gem! Came here around 1am on a Friday, place was packed but we were able to order and get a table promptly. Food was ready in less than 10 minutes, my steak burrito was massive, packed with meat, and super flavorful. There's nothing fancy about the place, it feels almost like an old school diner but serving up some truly awesome tacos, burritos, and nachos. Their salsas are also killer and prices are super reasonable!”
“Almost got into a fight with another customer because I was enjoying my burrito "too much". The cashier stepped in to deescalate. A fantastic place and I will be coming back.”
“The carne asada burritos were incredibly flavorful, and the nachos were some of the best I've ever had, loaded with delicious toppings. The atmosphere was vibrant, and the service was friendly. Highly recommended for anyone craving great Mexican food! It does have a little hole in the wall vibe but I think it adds to the experience.”
“I think I just had the best tacos I’ve ever eaten. Super fast. Delicious food. Highly recommend.”
“Me and my girlfriend love this spot and we go almost every weekend! Such flavorful and yummy food. I love the steak tacos and she loves the veggie tacos!! The rice and beans are amazing too. And Maria is the friendliest lady ever!!! Highly recommend”
“I recently discovered this place because it’s close to my new job. Needless to say. The steak tacos are delishious & my favorite. They only have one salsa & it’s red. Simple , cheap and delishious. I’ve eaten here about 3 times within 8 days. The service isint horrible. They don’t take apple pay or mastercard.”
“This restaurant is reasonable and food is delicious. I ordered chicken tacos and tongue tostados. These are small, but it filled me up. The tongue was delicious and didn't have any unpleasant odor. My friends ordered burrito. It was big and they couldn’t finish all, so asked to give us containers to take that back.”
“Pretty chill spot and a nice place to get some late night food. Stopped in here after going to the bar with friends and ended up hanging out here for a couple hours. Nachos were good and their salsa was really nice too.”
“Look, Allende is a simple no frills establishment. The food is solid, the prices are cheap, and there’s really not much else about it. It wasn’t crowded at all while people were waiting forever down the street, so all things considered this is a great place to stop by.”
