Hey my dear foodies!…read more I finally decided to check out Tequila House, and I ordered the salmon flour tacos along with a platter loaded with steak, chicken, and cheese, served with rice and refried beans. Overall, the food was good! The salmon could have used a little more seasoning, but I still enjoyed it. For my drink, I ordered a frozen passion fruit margarita, which was refreshing and paired perfectly with the meal. One thing I really enjoyed was the atmosphere. They had live music, which was a nice touch and added to the overall experience. The restaurant has a vibrant Mexican vibe with a warm, family-friendly atmosphere that makes you feel welcome. The service was surprisingly quick, even though the restaurant wasn't packed, which I definitely appreciated. It's always nice when you don't have to wait long for good food and drinks! They also offer happy hour specials, so I'll definitely be coming back to check those out. Overall rating: 8/10 Good food, quick service, live music, and a family-friendly atmosphere.

I ordered an omelette, and my son had the eggs Benedict. Both dishes came out looking great, and the coffee was also surprisingly good. It had that fresh, smooth flavor that's hard to find at most breakfast spots. My omelette was a bit on the mild side, not heavily seasoned, but I actually prefer it that way. It might feel a little too bland for someone who likes bolder flavors, though. Overall, it was a pleasant breakfast and a great way to start the day.

Some things were good, others were disappointing. I couldn't decide between the breakfast tacos and the G145 egg sandwich, so I got both. This was the first time I ever ordered breakfast tacos so I'm glad they were delicious! They were piled high with chorizo, scrambled eggs, tater tots, cheddar jack cheese, pico, and sour cream. The G145 egg sandwich consists of two eggs, bacon, & American cheese on a brioche bun. The bacon was cooked perfectly and the roll was soft and flavorful. My dad ordered a strip steak and eggs. He said, "it was okay, it's kind of tough". A medium rare steak should never be tough. My mom ordered two eggs, breakfast potatoes, and toast. She enjoyed the eggs and toast, but said the potatoes were awful. I had some with my sandwich and I have to agree with her. They were bland and dry. Overall, I thought the food was pretty good, but the service was substandard. Our server was super unattentive. Eating and socializing behind the bar was more of a priority than checking on her tables. I was still generous enough to tip 20%. Pickup and delivery are both available. Reservations are recommended for parties of 6 or more. Breakfast Tacos - 7.8 G145 Egg Sandwich - 8.2 Food - 8.0 Service - 6.3 Value - 7.4 Restaurant score - 72

Drum Roll Please......And the Award for WORST Burrito in the WHOLE STATE OF PENNSYLVANIA goes to Santa Fe Taco!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This is the most GROSS Burrito I have EVER had in my WHOLE LIFE!!! The Rice in it alone was enough to turn your Belly inside out.....the meat ( if that's what it really is ) is just NASTY!!!! The people on here giving 5 Star's must have killed there taste buds somehow, to say this is Great....OMG IT'S NASTY!!!!!!!! The BEST thing you people who haven't been here yet can do is RUN I MEAN RUN AWAY FAR FAR AWAY FROM THIS NASTY MESS! RUN TOWARDS CALI BURRITO, Cali Burrito in Allentown is WONDERFUL, AND there prices are BETTER and you get Homemade Chip's with your order at NO extra charge!!! The only reason I gave 1 Star to Santa Fe Taco was because Yelp made me to write a Review! Because if it was up to me it would have been negative 55! read more

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.

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.

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 store is clean and well kept woth limited seating and service is fast! Here is what we ordered!

I ordered a chicken tostada and chicken flautas. the chicken on the tostada was my favorite thing there it was insanely delicious i've never had anything like it and the flautas were cooked perfectly. a nice crisply outer shell with not too much crunch and the taste of fried tortilla so clean and pure! so savory!

I ordered from Mexicolindo and went with an asada burrito--something I've had plenty of times back in Texas, so I felt pretty confident in the choice. Unfortunately, the delivery was a letdown. The lettuce in the burrito felt like a total afterthought, with a small handful of wilted pieces thrown on at the last second. Maybe this is just how they prepare asada here, but the burrito was a sloppy mess. I couldn't even pick it up to eat it because it completely fell apart in my hands. The kid's cheese quesadilla didn't help much either. The tortilla was extremely thin--much thinner than what I'm used to in Texas. The fries arrived soggy and soaked in grease, and honestly, the whole meal ended up giving me a stomachache. Since this was an Uber Eats order, I expected at least basic packaging. The order came with no napkins or utensils, which made eating on the road even more frustrating. The one positive was that it did include two types of salsa, which restaurants outside of Texas don't always do. Overall, this delivery just didn't meet expectations, especially for someone used to Mexican food done right.
