Southwest chicken salad
Sheryl K.

Drinks were great. Chips hot and fresh. Service great. Left whiskey bar next door- rude and smelly and landed here. So great.

Chimichangas (vegetarian)
Vivek D.

Came here for dinner with my cousin and his family. The decor and ambiance looks pretty cool. I can see why people want to come here during the summer time as the outdoor patio is also quite dope. Unfortunately, while the service was quite good and fast, there were just a few technical mistakes and such that drop the rating of this place from a 4 to a 3. Here's the breakdown: 1) First, I'll start with this, the table-side guac was really really good. Also, the habanero salsa had a kick which I truly appreciated too. 2) The veggie molotes were also pretty solid too. 3) The cucumber jalapeño margarita was also pretty good. As well as the Elderflower margarita. Sadly, the coconut mojito was just way too sweet than it needed to be. My cousin had asked to reorder another mojito, but it was also too sweet as well. 4) My cousin asked to order just bean and cheese tacos for his daughter. Unfortunately, they also messed that one up so we had to also reorder. 5) I ordered the chimichangas, but made vegetarian. I think it was good, but the cheese sauce was just a bit too much and the portion size was far too huge with the beans and rice so I could barely finish. 6) Same issue with the Chile Rellenos my girl ordered. Just a lot of the cheese sauce. I think we were better off splitting one meal, but I call that a suburban rookie mistake. Would love to give this place 4 stars, but I need the mistakes to get cleaned up a little bit.

I am transplant here in Allentown for about 4 years now, this is the only consistent place in this town, seriously.

Chicken fajitas with rice and beans and tortillas for HH superb and tasty
Noe C.

Wonderful server Aaron, greeted us and gave us food and beverage recommendations. Omg where to start, our mojitos and margaritas were so tasty. Complimentary chips and salsa, as we ordered Queso fundido. Nachos, tacos and fajitas were so good. So filling and great happy hour experience. The rest of the food looks so good too. Ambiance was relaxed and open space made us feel so comfortable with our party for dinner. Def come by and visit if in the area

Southwest Southwest Chicken Salad

I placed an order for pick up because I was staying at an hotel across the street. I was greeted by a very nice lady when I arrived. I wished I had sat down to eat because I enjoyed the atmosphere. My food was ready sooner than expected. The food was delicious well seasoned and fresh. The Chicken Tortilla soup was amazing. The Southwest salad was so packed with chicken I have plenty for lunch tomorrow. All the veggie were fresh and crisp. Next time I am in Allentown I will go back to eat in-house.

Tacos de Carne Asada with flour tortilla instead of corn.
Kyle D.

Kate, the bt/server was fantastic. The atmosphere is pretty cool, too. They have a 10 seat bar, a pretty good selection of tequila, but NO premium top shelf stuff like Clas Azul or Forteleza. I ordered the Tacos de Carne Asada w/ flour tortillas. The bt was so helpful and genuinely friendly. Anyone who is knowledgeable, courteous, and friendly gets a 40% tip. I don't even care if they make a mistake - everybody does. The tacos de Carne Asado (tacos served with steak) were really good. One thing I hate about MOST Mexican restaurants is that they serve the cheap meat. I think this was 5 day old Flank Steak that was precooked then reheated. But the thing is with Mexican food is you just drown it with the best hot sauce ever, Pineapple Hot Sauce - DO NOT forget to ASK for it! It is the shiznit! The bathrooms are super clean! BIG plus! The staff really knows what they are doing. The ONLY negative i say is that the GM. Other than that...... This place is great! Make sure you get Kate as your bt/server. She is awesome! And tip well bc hospitality workers get paid little per hour. Thank you. My humblest regards k.david

Food was good, music was great but service was horrendous. It took 30 min to get a drink. They need to figure this out.

The waitress was nice BUT:…read more 1-extremely slow in the kitchen. Waited over 40 minutes for food. 2-once we got the food: It was extremely salty!!! I could not even eat my albondiga soup. So much salt made my stomach sick. Tortillas were greasy. They charged me for limes to put on my soup!!!! WTH And the rice was pretty bad. My friend ordered chicken tacos and also were super salty! Cucumber lemonade was weird. Not sure why it had a neon lime green color Too sweet and didn't taste homemade. Just overall a bad experience.

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.

Nice little taqueria. I ordered the chicken quesadilla and had a side of chips and salsa. The…read morequesadilla was fantastic! Salsa was different than any I'd ever had. Thin with a light orange color. Flavorful, but I like my salsa thicker with a bit of kick. This had no kick whatsoever. The chips were thick and crunchy. I'm in town for 15 more nights. I may try again if the mood strikes me. Service was good. It was a bit loud as the whole crew and some customers were watching World Cup Soccer.

Food: I ordered the carne asada tacos -- grilled Angus steak topped with onion, cilantro, and a…read morecreamy avocado sauce, all wrapped in a handmade corn tortilla pressed fresh to order. Simple, fresh, and full of flavor. On the side, I went with their esquites which was a yellow corn, slathered with a tangy crema, sprinkled with cotija cheese, chili powder, and a squeeze of lime. Sweet with just the right amount of spice -- the perfect complement to the tacos. Service: This spot runs on a fast-casual setup: you place your order at the counter and pick it up at the other end when it's ready. There's no traditional table service here -- they don't bus tables or check in during your meal -- but the process is quick, easy, and keeps things moving. Ambiance: The space has a casual, modern taqueria feel with a mix of rustic wood walls, warm lighting, and simple seating. Long bench seating lines one side with small tables, giving it a cozy but no-frills vibe. Since you order at the counter, you can watch the kitchen crew preparing fresh food as you wait -- which adds to the energy and authenticity of the place. It's more of a quick-bite atmosphere than a sit-and-linger spot, but it's clean, bright, and comfortable enough whether you're grabbing lunch solo or stopping in with a friend. Value: For $20.98, I got three tacos and a side of street corn. It's not the cheapest taco spot in town, but the handmade tortillas, quality steak, and generous portions help justify the price. Recommend: If you're craving authentic, no-frills tacos with bold flavors and fresh tortillas, this is the spot. Perfect for a quick lunch, a casual dinner, or even a takeout taco fix. This is my go-to place for tacos in the Lehigh Valley.

Last night went and it happened with all of ours (4 in our party). I ordered a soda, two unsweetened tea's, and a water. The taste was a strong cleaning solution taste. We let our waiter know and asked for new glasses and cups. He brought us glass cups instead of plastic and all tasted the exact same, cleaning solution disgusting taste. We let the waiter know again, and opted for bottle water and glass bottle of mexican coke. The manager then came over and shared that this was an ongoing issue and suggested that it was the city and that they have bleach sometimes come thru or their water is dark and that there isn't anything they can do. What should be done is not sell fountain drinks or any drink and if it is the water which is used in all drinks and in food that should be a red flag for customers to be ingesting whatever this is. At the very least provide a disclaimer that drinks and food may be contaminated with whatever they believe it is.....and let the city know.

So this is a review, 13 years in the making…read more I used to work in the Allentown area and one of my coworkers suggested stopping for lunch. I had passed Cali Burrito several times but didn't know much about it. My life was forever changed. My tried and true order is the 'Humbolt". It's perfect in every way and it appeases to vegetarians and meat eaters alike. I have turned several of my friends, family and coworkers on to Cali Burrito over the years. Id like to mention I lived in San Diego and the burritos in Allentown, Pa far exceeded any burrito found in the Golden State. I now live in Virginia Beach area and my love for Cali Burritos knows no distance. Yesterday, I had to take a drive into the area and you better believe I stopped in for a burrito. 720 miles, round trip and worth every mile.

I finally managed to get my car in Cali's parking lot. But, I had to wait for another patron (which…read moredidn't take long) to arrive and I followed them into the restaurant. It's not easy to figure out where the enrtance is. Okay, so I ordered the the ground beef tacos for $12 bucks. You get 2 tacos in a basket with tortilla chips. The chips are a bit weird and different, still not sure how much I liked them. Like Moe's, they have a salsa bar with 4 salsa choices along with various condiments. The salsa's are tasty and I like the flavor in all 3 I tried. I ordered tacos and what they brought to my table resembled a tacos, but the taco expectation ended there. These so called tacos, to me, aren't realy tacos at all. Their assembelled usinf both a hard shell and a soft shell (Taco Bell offers something similar). Whatever you call it, taco is not the thought that comed to mind when eating it. I was hungry and did manage to eat both of the tacos, but considered throwing out the 2nd taco. I was confused and unsure what I was eating. The ground beef wasn't bad, but my main complaint at a Mexican Eatery nearby (Plaza Azteca} is the same. The ground beef is unseasoned. This is fundamentally wrong to me. All the Taco Kits at the grocery store come with a seasoning packet to add to the ground beef when preparing the tacos. I left unhappy, that's not to say I wouldn't try their burrito's. They looked good as seen on other patrons tables. I'm 70 years old and the theme of Cali reminds me of the 60's/70's. The decor, interior, and interior are psychedelic. Retro throwback to the hippie days. The staff reflects that theme - they came across in a kind weird way to me; but not in a bad way! Their is no shortage of happy campers enjoying their lunch (I went at 1PM). It seems like a cult following which speaks to the freshness and quality of the food served. I'm still unsure what was in the alleged tacos I ate. Lol!
