I like their food! I tried the chick, beef stew( 2 kinds of beef) . Beef is a bit chewy, but still good!

Food was great chicken was fresh and rice and beans was also good. The lady who took my order on the phone was patient with me considering there was a slight language barrier but we figured it out. Food was ready quick and she even let me try a sample of something I saw and had a question about. Great spot read more

Cuchifrito - Half rotisserie chicken and rice and beans - Cuban Near Me - Allentown, Pennsylvania

The women inside the restaurant was rude to me I came in with 5 dollars and wanted to get some rice and she told me I didn't have enough and I had to walk out I felt embarrassed I didn't expect rice to be almost 10 dollars. Too expensive and the food looked old and dry read more

The food is amazing but the parking sucks! Great customer service. I highly recommend that anyone visiting Allentown PA should stop by and grab a meal. read more

Was craving for some fried bites and came across this place. A complete hole in the wall with lots of people during lunch. Stepped in to order some cuchifrito and found it to be very bland and not crispy at all. Perhaps I set my standards too high since we have an amazing cuchifrito place in Brooklyn. Also tried a Cuban sandwich and it lacked flavor and meat. read more

Cuchifrito - Parking lot - Cuban Near Me - Allentown, Pennsylvania

Wonderful place to eat I've been going here since I was little the food is always amazing

after leaving my drs apt at Cedar Crest on the way back to the poconos....starving...I remembered this place I have passed 100 times...the lot is always full...My wife wasn't sure what I was doing as I pulled up beside the graveyard across the street..she had been on the phone...she looked around as we got out and just from the yummy smells we knew it was the right spot !! every table had people eating, lots getting to go, and we wanted to eat in...the sweet lady behind the counter to us to just sit with someone in front...they were fine with it...I had the biggest bowl of soup ever , she added a side of rice and chicken and Morir Sonando ( orange juice with milk )....we both ate and left stuffed....best soup I remember...I've already told friends about this place ...can't wait to return !!! Best in Valley !!! read more

They advertise and have a menu full of things that they don't have when you walk in. i came in craving spanish food , and it just didn't give that.. read more

Delicuous muy rico , comida barata , so worth it must go and try is one of the best spots. I had everything in their menu and love it !

Small place, good food and great customer service. The average meal ranges from $8-$12, but if you ask for the $5 deal, you'll get a smaller plate and everything it's served there, if you don't mind it. Restaurant has its own parking at no cost, next to it. read more

Cuchifrito - Carne guisada - Cuban Near Me - Allentown, Pennsylvania

An excellent little hole in the wall that serves cheap food in a large portions. If you're the adventurous sort, they have beef and tripe stew that you can put over rice (wasn't the biggest fan, the tripe was on the chewier side). I also tried the pork and rice and that was pretty decent. None of the dishes were amazing per say, but they all hit the spot when you're hankering for some comfort food. My favorite thing is probably the $1.50 cheese and beef empanada. Eating these is like eating potato chips--before you know it, you've already had 3. If anything, my rating is for the empanadas. Give them a try if you're in the area for a game at the PPL or walking around downtown. Cash only!! read more

Stopped in for lunch after reading reviews here. First of all, ignore what you've read here about the staff being less than nice. My server was awesome and pointed out to me what the dishes were. (Please note there's nothing posted anywhere about what the foods are so for newbies like me, some help was required.) I went with the pork stew over brown rice and was blown away by the flavor of the meat along with the tenderness of it. Looking forward to trying the chicken and beef dishes in the upcoming weeks. Topped it off with a Jarritos orange soda and had myself one helluva awesome lunch. Thanks, Cuchifrito!! read more

Cuchifrito - First time here. Ordered the pork over yellow rice. Awesome! - Cuban Near Me - Allentown, Pennsylvania

The food is not good... The server ladies have a stank attitude. Of course they think they're cute because they working at Cuchifrito(lol). They're rude and obnoxious. I walk in and smile and they role their eyes at me. My boyfriend ordered for us and I sat down and while he was ordering they kept looking towards me and giving me the same stank look which made me smile even more. Anyhoo. The service is absolutely terrible, the place is a dump and I don't see myself stepping foot there again. read more

First time here and first time getting Spanish food in Allentown. It's good. We ordered the pernil, 1/2 baked chicken, pollo guisado, small mondongo and large white rice and beans. I guess my eyes were larger than my stomach! Lol Everything was flavorful without being overwhelming. We'll definitely be back. read more

Is the second time I've been here in the food's been unbelievably delicious. Food places on the corner of 7th street across from 7/11 and I say if you come here you will not be disappointed read more

Great food. Fresh right out of the oven. I have been staying in PA 3 months and went back 4 times already . Rotisserie chicken , rice and beans, stew chicken were all delicious. Great prices. One of the favorites spots I've experienced so far. read more

I got a decent amount of food for my money but the whole experience was not the best for me. If anything i would recommend going during breakfast, they have a $5 dollar plate which you will really enjoy. read more

I called for delivery Which took forever. Not to mention I had to call 3 times. And every time because I don't speak Spanish I was conveniently disconnected. Then finally I got an answer. Still they spoke no English. But I got my order across. The food was pretty good once it arrived. I got stewed pork with beef tripe over rice and beans. Just needed a lil salt and pepper.. Other than that pretty good.. read more

Cuchifrito - Stewed pork/Beef tripe mix over rice and beans - Cuban Near Me - Allentown, Pennsylvania

See all

Solid food, large portions, friendly staff. It faces stiff competition in Las Palmas down the street and some other restaurants around the area, but I have no problem recommending this as a place to try. read more

Almost forgot Cuchifrito. 7th and Linden across from 7-11. Latin American food. You can feed a family of four for $20 stuffed to the gills and so good. No tripe for me but everything is awesome. I could eat their yellow rice and beans everyday. read more

Top notch latino comfort food. I would like to make a few points here for those who come here with unrealistic expectations. 1) Do not expect good service or quick delivery. They are not there for that. 2) If you do not know Spanish (I don't either), either ask them and they always help. 3) It is a hole in the wall, blue collar, comfort food establishment. It may look dirty, but it is not, it may look seedy, but it is far from it. The food here is absolutely amazing. Good empanadas. Delectable pernil (whole roast pig), stewed goat meat, curried ox tail, tripe, pepper steak and stewed pork. Do not forget their rice and beans or their brown rice. I have never had anything bad here. If you like flavorful, beautifully seasoned meat (with a generous amount of rendered fat around it) cooked perfectly in unctuous sauces, you found the right place. By the way, a dinner that will make you wish you could eat much more but your tummy has space issues and you have left overs for two will cost you $20. Enjoy! And your'e welcome. read more

Everything I've ordered here has been delicious. Cuban sandwich and pastelitos is one of my favorite lunches. The garlic chicken here is so garlicky I scared some coworkers with it, but it tasted amazing. Delivery was quick. read more

Great value for your money, extremely confusing if you don't speak Spanish. I stood there for 10 minutes watching people pass me to order their food until they finally attempted to talk to me. Not the greatest for atmosphere, it's dirty and cramped but the food is delicious and plentiful: read more

Not only did the mofongo I ordered didn't arrive fresh but I also found a strand of hair in my mofongo. Last time I'm ordering from this place. read more

The food is always good. No matter what you chose. But I must say, they make a great STEAK w/onions. And the pork chops are to dIe for. My buddy, Kerri-loves her some rice, beans and pork chops. read more

A hole-the-well but worth it. The food is very tasty. They give you a lot of food for very little money. I ate the pork with rice and beans. Loved it. Full of flavor. The tre leches cake was awesome. read more

Stayed at the Renaissance Marriott in Allentown. Ordered delivery and it arrived in 11 (yes.. ELEVEN) minutes. Incredible. The meats were really well seasoned and tender. Beans on point. Have to call to see what they have but well worth it! Price was great too! P.S. I never leave reviews unless it's a 5 or a 1. read more

Tasty stuff! Not cheap and the chicken was a little dry, but flavorful, savory deliciousness among the other meats and yellow rice. I did want a vegetable option. It seems to be really popular with the locals, and I understand why. I wish we had this restaurant in my town. read more

Best Cuban in the area!! Food is always good....very cramped and hot inside...but the food is worth it...
