El Carbonaso is a casual, counter service Peruvian restaurant located on West Union Boulevard in…read moreBethlehem. It's open Wednesday through Sunday from 11:00 AM to 8:00 PM. With the former owners of Machu Picchu behind it, I knew I was in for some good, authentic Peruvian food. I started with the causa de pollo, a yellow pepper seasoned mashed potato dish filled with chicken. It reminded me of a chicken salad sandwich, but layered with potato instead of bread. Next was the caldo de gallina, a hearty, comforting chicken soup with a rich broth, loaded with chicken on the bone, potatoes, and noodles. For my main I went with the chaufa de 3 carnes, a Peruvian stir-fried rice with chicken, beef and shrimp. My friend had the lomo saltado de pollo, which is sautéed chicken with tomatoes, onions, and fries. If you want some extra flavor, the white sauce is a must. It's a creamy garlic mayo that goes great with everything. Overall, a great spot. The staff at El Carbonaso does Peruvian food right.

Came here while in town for my best friend's birthday. We were staying at the casino and wanted to…read moreget out for a bit, so we ended up in this downtown area and found this spot. Really glad we did. The area was busier and with more foot traffic than we expected, which actually made it fun for people watching. We sat outside and the vibe was just easy and welcoming. Not packed, but well attended. Service really made the night. Angel took great care of us and didn't just check in, he actually spent time with us, talked through things, and made the whole experience feel personal. The general manager (we believe his name was) Kevin came over as well and was just as engaged, calm, and genuinely open. Food-wise, the beef and chorizo meatballs were insane. Easily one of the best things we had all weekend. The steak skewers with mashed potatoes were also excellent. Great flavor, cooked right, and the presentation was really nice. We also tried the meat paella and it didn't hit the same. The meat was overcooked and the balance felt off. We shared that honestly, and both Angel and Kevin handled it incredibly well. No defensiveness at all. Kevin comped the dish right away and said he'd talk to the chef, which I respected. Drinks were fun and creative. We tried the coconut lavender and the Honeycrisp sangria. Both really unique, just a little sweet for my taste. Overall, this is a place that clearly cares about the experience. Great service, standout dishes, and they handle feedback the right way. I'd absolutely come back for those meatballs alon

Sit on either side because it doesn't matter at all. Not much atmosphere but it's certainly not a fast food spot. I've never seen more than three tables occupied for lunch. They do take reservations! Absolutely nothing remarkable about the food. Get the "ensalada pollo" for a salad and you'll get some greens, doused in dressing, onions, some cherry tomatoes and tough chicken. It was fine. Staff are a bunch of kids. They do their best. If they forget you just go find them. They're around.

Italian restaurant with a menu to keep everyone happy. Sandwiches, pizza, pasta you can't go wrong.read more

While working in Allentown, PA this week, a local coworker recommended this spot, and I'm so glad…read morewe checked it out. We visited on a Wednesday evening and were seated immediately, as there was only one other table occupied when we arrived. The restaurant offers plenty of seating both indoors and out on the patio. Since it was hot and raining, we chose to dine inside. The interior is beautifully designed with a cozy, authentic Italian feel that adds to the overall dining experience. Our server was friendly and welcoming, greeting us right at the door and returning quickly to take our drink orders. The menu is extensive--there are tons of options to choose from, which made it tough to decide. I ended up ordering the Spicy Fried Chicken Jalapeño Sandwich with a side of fries. I enjoy spicy food, and this sandwich absolutely delivered. The jalapeño sauce was rich, flavorful, and one of the best I've ever had. The bread tasted freshly baked--possibly even house-made--and really elevated the entire sandwich. The fries were standard, but they came out hot, crisp, and well-seasoned. Overall, this was a great dining experience. The food, service, and atmosphere were all on point. I'll definitely be saving this spot for future visits and look forward to exploring more items from their massive menu.

I've had very…read moreminimal experience with this type of cuisine, so I was pretty excited to find this place close to where I was staying. The whole street the restaurant is on feels steeped in history and this place was no exception. They have pretty expansive list of plates. I ordered the Desayuno Tipico (beans, eggs with salsa, sausage, curtido, a slice of cheese, and pupusas) and it was amazing! I can see why this place is packed during the lunch rush. The prices were reasonable and the portions large. I was able to experience this place earlier in the morning, so it felt like I had the place to myself. I look forward to trying more from this cuisine when the opportunity presents itself! Thanks for a great experience.

Probably won't be returning. I make better nachos at home…read more It all tasted like it came out of can. We ordered meatless meat nachos and a beef burrito. 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.
