I've not found a Mole sauce this good anywhere this side of the Rockies (lived in Southern Cali for a couple of years and there were 1-2 places there that could rival it). The rice and beans are perfect as well. I don't know the owners, but this seems to be an old school family-run establishment. Bottom line: I'd argue this is best Mexican you'll find in Lehigh Valley, maybe in PA overall, and beyond. Don't hesitate. (And get the Enchiladas Poblanas.)

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 store is clean and well kept woth limited seating and service is fast! Here is what we ordered! We were served chips and salsa first at no charge. chips were cooked perfectly and the house-made salsa was delicious! my gf ordered the fajita (steak) dish and she noted decent sized fair portions of all the goodies that go into making a fajita with a unique guacamole, rice and beans, lettuce and cheese and their steak is a MUST try. 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! Now when i think of mexican food this place will come to mind. i encourage anyone who loves good tasty food to come here it's worth every penny and the prices are very fair!

While driving through Easton on my current trucking route, I did what I usually do and searched for…read morethe nearest Mexican restaurant on Uber Eats. 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.
