During a trip to New York, we were told that El Punto was a must!! We made it, there were so many options. We could not make up our mind, so we left with 3 sandwiches. Media noche (ham and pork), El Gordito, and Pavo lechon... One we are there, one we ate the airport (which was where we were headed once we left here), and one we ate on the plane. They were all delicious!! If I had to pick my favorite, it would probably be the pavo lechon (turkey and pork). The place looks super sketchy from the outside, but it was worth the drive. If you're on the Eastcoast make sure you make the drive. I was only able to get one picture in, but they were all good!! The one in the picture is the media noche. All of my friends were very happy once we had our sandwiches. read more

Sandwichera El Punto - Media noche is perfect! - Sandwiches Near Me - Allentown, Pennsylvania

For an already poor quality store, prices are never the same. The inside of the store looks disgustin, floors look uncleaned counters old torn and dirty. Nobody knows how to say hello either. Food isnt even up to standard from previous owners ( BRING THEM BACK )! Solving a problem in their is like speaking to the wall. 1 star just because i had to leave a review. read more

Sandwichera El Punto - POOOR QUALITY. Shut it down ! - Sandwiches Near Me - Allentown, Pennsylvania

Seriously disappointed with my Punto Max sandwich! Paid $20 for steak, chicken, and shrimp, but only found one tiny shrimp in each piece. What a rip-off! #Disappointment #Sandwich #RipOff super disappointed read more

Used to love this place. The food is still good however the prices went up and the phone is almost ALWAYS disconnected.

This used to be an awesome place to eat with reasonable prices good fresh food and fresh natural juices that were amazing and tasted good. After this management change not only is ordering more difficult but the food quality and taste is not the same. Be there in a few minutes the fresh homemade juices are now dispensed out of a machine and they taste watered down and disgusting. Bought a traditional drink morir soñado and now it tastes like orange juice and water. I'm not sure if they have a new cook but even the sandwiches taste different. I don't mind paying money for good food but when you're used to having sandwiches from there and they taste a certain way and now the prices have gone up and the food quality has gone down it's not good anymore. We spent $25 on one steak sandwich today and one drink and it was definitely not worth it. It's a shame because we went to this place at least once a week and we've just made the decision that we will not be going there anymore. read more

malísimo los peores sándwiches y te tratan malo esas mujeres parecen que no quieren trabajar read more

I wish I could get them delivered. But if I'm ever on this side of town, it's an excuse to stop by. So good.

The sandwich was.not toasted enough, not seasoning and the frues a little burn. Parking space is good, not eating inside.

I have visited this place many times when visiting friends in Hellertown. It is an ABSOLUTE must to eat here. I would call this place a "dive-ish" sandwich spot because from the outside you wouldn't think the work of art comes from that kitchen. The sandwiches look basic but are far from it. I usually get the aire,tierra, y mar which means air , land and sea. It is so delicious and tasty that one is never enough. When possible I have taken one to go. The décor inside is non existent but trust me, don't worry about décor. Go here simply for the sandwiches. I would recommend to everyone and anyone in the area. The people that work here are pretty helpful if you have questions but be ready to wait a little for the food. They make it fresh so it takes a little while. Either way, stop by and enjoy! read more

How dare they proclaim this establishment as a Puerto Rican sandwich spot, it was nothing of the sort no criollo flavors, no onions in the sandwich in the first order...I went back the "cook made me another sandwich and guess what NO ONIONS!! on the second one eitherI couldn't understand why this place shad four stars maybe it's because of the big sandwich that's the only thing this establishment has going for itself other than that no flavor it lacked the criollo flavor. I DO NOT!!! recommend the sandwich at all. read more

Sandwichera El Punto - Bifstec encebollao" ( steak sandwich w/ onions) - Sandwiches Near Me - Allentown, Pennsylvania

El punto = el delicioso!! Hiding behind an unassuming exterior in a not so great neighborhood in East Allentown, you'll find La Sandwichera El Punto - home of some of the tastiest and filling sandwiches in the area. These are simple but absolutely delicious hot panini-style sandwiches at very affordable prices, around $5 - $6 on average. They offer a wide variety of choices from every food group - steak, pork, chicken, fish, various deli meats and egg (not too sure about the vegetarian options). Most of the menu is in Spanish but if you're unsure, just ask! The Cubans sammies are very good but my favorite by far is the almighty tripleta. It's a delectable sandwich made with pulled pork, ham and chicken together with cheese, mayo and everything else that is good in this world that is dripping of delicious warm grease. Mmmm!!! Again, the exterior looks a bit uninviting and the inside is definitely scanty with very few places to sit and eat but don't be deterred, dear reader. Your fortitude will be rewarded. Just do takeout and prepare yourself for some serious good eats. read more

Food coma. Seriously good food coma. That's what you're getting yourself into when you decide to venture here. My bistec con huevo sandwich was the size of a small baby. 9-10 inches for those who want specifics. So maybe the size of a small premature baby... Don't judge, I'm writing this mid-coma, it may or may not be coherent. Parking is easy enough with several spots available. Not much of a sit down area inside as the tables were more bar style. The place is clean. The door into the storage/pantry area was open so I took a peek. Everything was organized & clean, no random things on the floor. A giant menu overhead is in Spanish and English but no prices listed. However there is a corkboard to the right of the counter that has little menus tacked up with pictures & prices. Most are $5-6 with a few $7-8 for the big ones combining seafood & meats. The bread is fresh and crusty (I have a feeling they're from Egypt Star bakery), the meats well seasoned, and the toppings are perfect complements all combined for some seriously good eat. The tripleta sandwich my sister had was also delicious. The usual toppings are lettuce, tomato, cheese, and mayo, but we opted only the first two. It's good. So good. I'm already contemplating a return kind of good. P.S. Also has a lot of jugos naturales, or fresh juices, and they're delish. Not so sure about them being fresh squeeze kind of juices since I got the quanabana (soursop - can't exactly squeeze those LOL), but it was so refreshing! Plenty of other exotic fruits are available as well as the regular orange, lemon, mango, etc... juices. read more

Sandwichera El Punto - the outside of a restaurant - Sandwiches Near Me - Allentown, Pennsylvania

The years have not been kind to this sandwich spot. Last couple of times I went there I was extremely dissatisfied. The employees do not know what customer service is anymore, and take customers for granted. Why do I have to explain to them how to make a Cuban sandwich? Other sandwiches that I have ordered are also coming out wrong and I have to inspect everything before I pay. Not a hassle I want or need. They have lost a loyal customer. read more

OMG the best sandwiches in the valley, I love coming here, the shrimp and steak is amazing, the place kinda creepy from the outside but you must try it out, give it a try you will not be sorry, very cheap prices too. read more

Sandwichera El Punto - a half eaten sandwich on a paper plate - Sandwiches Near Me - Allentown, Pennsylvania

This place will cancel your order if you move your car. They have the most incompetent women on the front taking orders. They have no clue what customer service is and lack manners as well. Never again! Then I place another order and she gave it to another person who was also doing a pick up. So orders don't have names?! Totally my fault for even thinking this location was worth a try. DISGUSTING!!!!! Typical little hole in the wall spot. They have pictures on the wall taped with painters tape. Guy was cooking with gloves and with the same gloves opened the fridge door and served himself some soda from the vending machine. read more

I've been coming to EL Punto for years. The food is always good but the wait times could improve. Average wait time is around 15-20 minutes however their sandwiches are fantastic. I would give them a 5 but the long wait times only merit them a 4. read more

Customer service here is horrible the cashier is horrible! This place have went down hill since I first got to Allentown

I ordered the Cuban sandwich and it was disappointing. The sandwich was dry and when I open it it looked like heated cold cuts from Giants. The positive was they were friendly. read more

Great sandwiches everything was freshly made upon ordering service was good will definitely visit again soon

Food is delicious, also helps that it's about 20 steps from my house. Prices are fair, they do take out. This review is based solely off their food, I've had most of the menu and it's all been great. Been a regular about once a month since they've opened and it's been good since. read more

Best sandwich place EVER! These guys are the real deal. Authentic, tasteful, delicious, the whole 9. They hve so many different amazing sandwiches. My favorite is the tripleta aka the triple meat sandwich. Def must try for all! read more

The food is great and the price is cheap I will be back time and time again thanks for the great food keep up the good work .

This is a bit of a hole in the wall, which in and of itself isn't a problem. Lots of holes in the wall have great food and service. However, I felt misled by the 4.5 star reviews which prompted me to stop here. I came in expecting pastelios, rice, chicken and beans, etc, and found a pretty basic sandwich shop. Again, no issue as maybe that was my ignorance. I ended up ordering chicken fingers and fries. Fries were mushy and unappetizing, and the fingers were small and mediocre. I've given extra star because I didn't try the sandwiches. read more
