The original, before Chipotle I have never been in their restaurant but my brother and his dorm mates always brought food from there when I visited DePaul GOOD FOOD! I liked it soo much that when my lil’bro came home to Minnesota for Christmas or Thanksgiving. I would make him grab a burrito and bring one back for me

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.

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!

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.

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.
