The prices were reasonable and the food was ready on time. The person was friendly. The nachos had fresh lettuce and that's about it. Had canned cheese sauce, not queso sauce. The red salsa, pico de gallo and guacamole all tasted like the stuff that comes in a jar or sealed plastic container at the grocery store. The meatless meat might have been gardein. It wasn't Impossible Meat or Beyond Meat. The portion on the "meat" was generous but the toppings were sparse. There was a 3oz black to go container of each. There was supposed to be shredded cheese but I only found a couple pieces. I had to add my own toppings when I got home. Wife says there didn't seem to be shredded cheese in her burrito either. Said it was bland.

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.

The lady that answered confirmed the deal, but I asked her to repeat it twice, as her English was sketchy at best. So off I went to score my Taco Tuesday deal. It cost me $2.00/hr to park. Okay. I get to the counter and say I'm here for Taco Tuesday, and that I called. I was nicelty told that Taco Tuesday starts at 8pm/Tuesday begins at 8pm EIGHT PM? What a crock of crap. The non-English speaking server then told me she was the one that answered the phone and told me it starts at 8pm. I informed her that if she told me 8pm, I wouldn't be there. She did not tell me! So, I left with no Tacos!

Tortilla Chips with House Guac - 9/10 No real complaints here. The chips are amazing. Super crunchy, near flaky. They do them very well. The guac is solid, nothing special, but tasty nonetheless. Would definitely come back for this if I wanted to go get drinks. Birria Loaded Fries - 4/10 Sad excuse for a meal. Soggy fries covered in what seems to be literal canned cheese sauce with a few green onions and white sauce on top. To make it worse, the birria meat itself sucked too. Completely bland and unseasoned. It wasn't chewy so it at least had that going for it, but that's a pretty low bar. Los Cabos Tacos (mahi mahi tacos) - 1/10 Sucked. Badly. Sent these back they were so bad. Felt like I was eating a fried crust with nothing inside of it, like next to no fish. Taste wise equally bad. I saw a few reviews warning about these, should've listened. Don't get these. Chicken fajita plate - 5/10 Average. For $30+, sad. Just some unseasoned grilled chicken with some sautéed vegetables and tortillas. Wouldn't come back here besides for drinks and chips & guac.

We got a bunch of food, including a burrito and a chimichanga, and some tostones. The tostones really hit the spot and the sauce they gave us is fantastic. We at first lamented at the small container of salsa that they gave us for the (really huge) burrito, but the sauce was SPICY - a little goes a long way. The burritos also came with sour cream. They have a whole smattering of different types of food from Latin America, from empanadas to burritos to Cuban sandwiches. I read one of the other reviews about someone who was upset because they waited a long time for a to-go order. We also waited a really long time, but dang if the food wasn't super freshly made! The inside felt spacious and calm, and if we had time, we probably would have dined in here. Service was very friendly! Our burritos were huge and comforting. Very filling. Lasted for 2 meals. I sort of wished that the chimichanga was a bit crispier, but I was sated by what I had. Easy parking in the lot, but then again, this ain't LA, so parking isn't a huge issue.
