    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.
