Allende Indio Reviews
Beef and shrimp fajitas sizzling hot and delicious. Tacos de Cabeza were excellent. Our Chavelas w/ Modelo Negra awesome. Our waitress excellent customer service. 5+
Was in from out of town for my bday. Randomly stumbled upon this GEM. Blown entirely away by the staff and the food. Maria was incredible! We would 1 million percent over come back again when we visit. TY Maria!!
My wife and I came across Allende's on our way to Phoenix. We were looking for a new place for breakfast on our trip. It turned out to be a great find. Good service and good food. If you want authentic Mexican food, you'll find it here.
Top notch Mexican food in the Coachella valley. try the chicken enchiladas with green sauce and order an extra two on the side cause you will be sad when they are gone lol... for breakfast order huevos rancheros and instead of rice order the papas de Mexicana been going here for over 20 years.... love you Allende always familia for life ...
From the moment we parked to being greeted upon entering. Ever9was simply AMAZING 🥰 The staff was super friendly and very helpful. The restaurant and kitchen were super clean. And this, by far, is the BEST Mexican food I have ever eaten 😋
Best beef in town!!! So flavorful and tender, taste delicious on tacos sopes or anything!!! It is a must try spot. Fast service and friendly. We go often!!!
In town visiting and stumbled upon this Mexican restaurant - what a pleasant surprise! The guy who was our waiter was very nice, attentive and helpful. Told us his favorite dishes, refilled our drinks promptly and provided an overall great experience. We had the queso with chorizo, chicken fajitas, and the carne asade plate. Very good, served with fresh tortillas and spicy salsa and chips
Amazing food, service, and food!!! The food was so good I had to mention it twice!!! The staff were so nice and the food was really good. As a socal native I have had plenty of Mexican food and I can say that this place is definitely one of the better Mexican food restaurants I’ve been too! It was so good I had to write this up while still in the restaurant!!!
Food was excellent and prices even better. Service was prompt, my food was ready very fast. I definitely recommend this place.
I like the freshness of the ingredients of each meal. And the diversity is amazing. I also like it that the products are so typical Latin american. I will never again go to one of the fast food chains. The personnel is very friendly and knowledgeable. Since I speak Spanish I had no problem in communicating my taste very specifically.
Yummy food! And our waitress( I didn’t get her name I’m so sorry) was so flipping sweet!! Very kind, efficient, knowledgeable, and she was very health conscious. It’s a weird time but you guys are killing it! Thanks for the great experience!
Made a phone order, combination plate taco, chicken enchilada and a chili relleno. Asked how much time for my order? From 5 to 10 minutes. Got there received a nice welcome, with a smile, my food was ready, and was well-prepared great flavor. The last time I was here everything was great today ? What happened? Just placing my order without being over charged, where are my original hostes ? Something just isn't rite. Will I be back?
Amazing food. Great service. And great prices. My husband had some leftovers his mom had from this place and he said if the leftovers were that good we had to try to dine in. So yummy we will definitely be back
Service 10/10 Christopher And Christian are great servers and brings out your food very quickly. Food tastes 100% Mexican and authentic. Make sure to ask for him when you stop by! They make the experience a great one every time! If you like burritos, get the chile verde burrito with fries added inside 😉
High quality local place. We were traveling but servers seemed to know every other person dining here. Salsa was hot! And they also rim ice cold beer mugs with chili powder salt. Be ready! ( we weren’t - too much spice for me). Fajitas were delicious.
I have high standards for Mexican rice and this is the first restaurant I have actually enjoyed eating the rice. Great food and friendly service. Definitely coming back! Mariachi Fridays and dollar tacos everyday 5 to 7pm.
By far the best Mexican restaurant in this valley hands down! Authentic food, quick services, great drinks, amazing staff; I’ve never had an issue here. The camarones Al mojo de ajo keep me coming back!! I will continue to recommend this place to my friends and family. Can’t wait to stop by again
Stopped in from out of town on a business trip, ate at Allende Restaurant and I'm glad I did. Good salsa and chips. Authentic Mexican food that definitely hits the spot. If I lived in the area I would be a regular. Five Stars and Two Thumbs Up!
Delicious food and great service. Generous portions and reasonably priced. Our server was a gem and that green enchilada sauce and guac were 10/10.
Really good tacos and chicken sopas. We stopped by for a drink and decided to have lunch too. Our waitress was very nice and our food was out in a flash. Very glad we decided to stop by after visiting Joshua Tree and our way to the Palm Springs Tram. 🌮🔥🍻
Visited this hidden gem while on vacation. The food was so good, I ate way too much. I had Tampequeno, which was two cheese enchiladas and a cut of Carne asada with rice and beans. I almost cleaned the plate. Wife had a combo she liked the verde enchilada. Kids both ate well, which is a definite sign of good food, they're picky. Boy had burger and fries. I thought it was nice they had that for the kids. Daughter had a flauta plate and ate almost all 3! Carolina was so kind and got us all we needed with gracious service. We'll be back for sure when in town next. If you live in town, make this your spot. The food is fantastic.
From LA out in indio taking care of some family matters felt like having some Mexican food nearby found this place ...I must say food was delicious atmosphere was great had a lil music going on service on point most definitely when we are back in the area we will enjoy another delicious plate of food
Very delcious Tampiquena! Our service was nice, if I'm in the area again I'll certainly be stopping by to have s delcious meal.
Arrived right after they opened. First of all, the place is bigger than expected. We were seated and waited on by a very friendly waitress. Salsa and chips were brought to our table and the salsa is tasty but be forewarned, quite spicy. The other green salsa in a syrup type dispenser is equally tasty and spicy so be careful. The juevos rancheros are very good and the eggs cooked to order as well as the machaca juevos. Rice and beans are also very good. The order came with the usual corn tortillas and I must say, I've never been served so many which was a pleasant surprise. Restrooms are clean and plenty of parking. They also feature live Mariachi music every Friday and if it's your birthday, you're treated to a serenade of the traditional Mananitas. Definitely going back.
Best Mexican food in the valley! Always great service and food is always delicious.
Wow, very fast service and the best prices around. The salsa and chips was hot but not obnoxiously hot, very good. Beer was served with a icy glass and the red salty spice on the rim. Nice touch. Will be back

Good place to eat food has authentic Mexican taste to it, unlike some other Mexican restaurants with no taste .....
The food is really good. If you go early in the day you get excellent service. Unfortunately the younger servers maybe need a little more experience on how to provide better service.
Food was quite good. Live Mariachi performance on Fridays after 6pm. Will definitely return to eat. Why not five stars? Place was crowded so it was a bit hot and humid, could've used more a/c.
Lively atmosphere. Great food. I had the birria (goat meat), rice and beans. My family had several other items from the menu, and they were all satisfied with the taste and portions.
The food is amazing. Authentic mexican cuisine with friendly staff and prompt service.
I love that Allendes have menudo every day of the week... The thing that would make this place a five-star is if they would do fresh tortillas in-house. I believe that would boost the business and ratings through the roof.
Good food and combination plates quick service but slow checkout.

Service was terrible… ordered a menudo waitress didn’t bring any condiments or tortillas…waited but never got there…asked the young guy waiter different person to please bring tortillas again were forgotten. Asked the original waitress to bring ice for the warm iced tea never brought it…went to check out told her she just ignored…awful service… manager was busy cooking so couldn’t bring it to his attention

Dined in for the chicken, steak, and shrimp fajitas. Fajitas and flour tortillas were delicious with everything cooked well. Service from the waitress wasn't great with the silverware and extra chips forgotten a few times. However, I would go back for the food.
I stopped in at 8:45pm to grab a burrito to-go and was turned away after the person behind the counter stated they were closed. The dining room was half full and the servers were still bringing food to diners from the kitchen. I eat here frequently and usually am in and out in 5 minutes or less, this is the only reason I dropped 2 stars instead of one. I understand people want to leave work to go wherever, I am headed home now after leaving work, but if this restaurant's posted hours of been different then what they are I would of went somewhere else to begin with instead of wasting my time where my business isn't wanted
The BEANS are from a can they are horrible and have NO flavor. The RICE also is flavorless as though they put too much tomato sauce. I had the Carnita platter it was over cooked and old sliced like an old roast that was sitting under a heating lamp and the corners and edges were burnt and the meat again flavorless. I recommend Taco Bell over this restaurant. Although the people are Nice the atmosphere is old and needs an updated look. Please throw in a new chef I’ll even settle for a cook who knows What they’re doing.
Very poor customer service!! My family and I went in yesterday after church. The hostess asked how many in our party and we told her 20. She rudely and sternly responded, "If it's more than 20 we can't seat you!" When we asked if each family could possibly have different tables if we were more than 20, she responded rudely again, "No! If it's more than 20 we can't seat you because it's going to be too much work for us!" We asked for the manager and she ignored us. After not feeling welcomed at all, we told her we were going to leave and she sarcastically said, "Bye! Have a nice day!" When we were leaving she proceeded to tell my nephew that our family was scandalous! When questioned by my niece about her remark, she said she didn't mean it that way. We were so disappointed because our family has frequented this restaurant for many years with parties larger than 20 and have never had a problem. I recommend that staff be properly trained in customer service.
The best menudo New review Sunday, 3/6 - I have never experienced anything like this at this restaurant. I think the ladies there are new. The one that served us was excellent but there was one that did a lot of screaming. When people would arrive she would scream from the cashier station to the people asking FOR HOW MANY? Really loud! I thought that was so rude and distracting for us (the customers) to enjoy our stay. Also, they would throw the empty bottles in the trash can making a loud breaking noise. I don't it was just a different experience all together.

The food is good but 32$ for 4 normal sized tacos is insane to me for a place with a drive thru Staff is terrible put my in resturant order for drive thru and had me wait 30 mins before getting a simple burrito with rude staff
If I had the option to put zero stars I would, today I had a lunch date with my daughter and son in law I was asked to leave because of my service dog, by law you have one question to ask “what does the animal provide” and today they asked us two, his paperwork and his provided service. I was very angry because I had sat down with my dog in that restaurant before and they had said nothing about him. Now it’s a big deal. Our server was kind about it but the manager that was making the problem was unprofessional and absolutely rude. My daughter had talked me out of calling the cops and we decided to take our service elsewhere where I won’t get discriminated against. I’m still very angry and hurt.
