I took a chance on something new tonight (Sopes) and was thrilled that I did. I loved it! The chicken was extremely tender and seasoned well. (I don't like anything overly seasoned or spicy, and this was perfectly balanced with flavor. The fresh lime added a nice flavor enhancing touch as well. The horchata was served cold and refreshing! It was like a guilty pleasure to drink. The chips were crispy and the guacamole was really nicely prepared, fresh, and delicious! (I could have eaten a bowl of it. It was so good!) The other individual in our party thoroughly enjoyed the tacos and their side of mole sauce. The food was promptly prepared and served hot. Our waitress was kind and efficient in her response to our needs. The restaurant had a small dining area but big enough to accommodate multiple tables. We were able to fully enjoy our meal without feeling rushed or crowded. We each drove about 30 minutes to get here and agreed that it was worth the drive. I will certainly be back sometime!

I love the variety this place offers, and after trying their food at the new location for the first time in 10 years, I'm happy to say the quality has remained impeccable compared to their Schonersville Road location. While I do miss the convenience of the previous location, I'll definitely be back whenever I'm in the Emmaus area.

These were nice: the consomme was flavorful and not too salty, the tacos had a good amount of meat, and I appreciated that there was only one layer of tortilla as I feel like usually they're double-wrapped. We also got the chicharron preparado with steak. I thought it would be difficult to eat but it ended up being easy enough. This was fine, a little on the heavy side with the mayo, but a good dish to share. The price point for everything was reasonable, especially for the amount of food with the chicharron. And the complimentary chips to start were complimented nicely by the hot sauces they provided.

Got an email from Yelp asking if I visited here and meant to write a review. I was visiting my…read moreparents over Mother's Day weekend. My mom wanted to include me on some trip with an overnight stay somewhere. I suggested Poconos, which we went to Jim Thorpe for a couple of hours to look around, but ultimately my mom wanted to go to Allentown for several reasons, mostly shopping considerations. One of the other considerations for Allentown was that my mom was really looking forward to another Mexican restaurant, a national chain, but when we got there, there was a sign on the door saying permanently closed and thanking customers for patronage. If they wanted to visit me, well the Columbia, MD location near where I live closed too. I felt bad for my mom (& my dad to a lesser extent). I desperately searched on Yelp, etc. Initially, we picked another local Mexican restaurant a few minutes from the large shopping center, but I said that's pretty bad the sign said the Restroom is out of order; I think we should look elsewhere, which my parents agreed. I suggested La Cocina del Abuelo in downtown Allentown. I said parking is probably street but should be free on a Sunday evening, which it is. We walked in and were the only customers. There were a few to go orders/deliveries. God bless this woman, who was our server, but was also running the kitchen, & getting pick-up/deliveries ready. I asked about enchiladas as I didn't see on the menu. She said it's part of their "secret menu", which is always an interesting concept. I was looking forward to enchiladas, getting 2 chicken & 1 steak, which comes with rice & black beans. My mom got tacos, and my dad got steak fajitas. Considering this woman was doing everything, the service was pretty quick. We all enjoyed our food. It was a large mound of rice, which was delicious eating all. Black beans & enchiladas were pretty solid too. The server gave a business card with a discount for next time. My dad happened to see I think 25% off on a discount app he has, which the server had no issue accepting. But this is where the business & server really earns the 5-stars. She gave flowers to my madre (mom) wishing her a happy Mother's Day, which was very nice, and above & beyond any usual restaurant experience. The only negatives were the tables were a little small for up to 4 people, but we managed fine. Also, while the restroom was clean, they were out of paper towels. My dad had mentioned it earlier, but she was very busy; so I'll give a pass on that. Overall, I highly recommend La Cocina del Abuelo for the excellent customer service & great food.

Great place for food. You eat outside at the tables, order came out quickly and it was delicious.read more
