text: I wanted to like this place and based on the reviews honestly expected much more I typically love authentic Mexican restaurants because of fresh ingredients and overall experience I headed into Taqueria Allende for lunch and got their four taco plate two beef and two shredded beef maybe I should have diversified a bit When my tacos came they looked good were packed with some great looking traditional fixins but unfortunately that is where it ended The beef tacos had an old musty flavor to them and the beef itself was not flavorful beyond the unpleasant musty flavor at all and was pretty dry As for the shredded beef eh just as unfortunate tasting The shredded beef was not as dry but the flavor still was not cutting itnnMy cousin got the torta which he described as one of the least favorite sandwiches he is had The beef on the torta was the same as what was in my tacos and did not have nearly the proper amount of beef compared to the size of the sandwich waaaaay too much bread no meatnnAll in all an upsetting experience There are bunch of other better restaurants in the area so I would say try those and drive right past nnAs a disclaimer I have only had what I have mentioned above Typically if I am going to give a place a negative review I at least give it a second shot but honestly could not bring myself to go back here when there are so many better options out there
