This is basically an authentic version of Chipotle, and it is GOOD! Plus they're open crazy late…read more When you walk in, you'll stand in line to build your meal. They have burritos, bowls, salads, tacos and quesadillas. I wasn't super hungry, but my husband was so he decided to get tacos. You get THREE tacos in an order, and you can pick a different protein for each one if you'd like. They have tofu and veggie options for vegetarians, which is amazing. Next you'll add your toppings, such as veggies, cheese, guacamole, etc. We added a side of chips & queso and WOW! I think they make the chips in-house because they were very fresh. And the queso was different than what I'm used to as a born-and-raised Texan...however it was INCREDIBLY TASTY! This was a wonderful surprise seeing as this restaurant is located in Pennsylvania (which isn't exactly known for good Tex-Mex, if you feel me). The icing on the cake is that the staff members were so friendly! I always appreciate good service, and I feel like they went above and beyond here, especially considering that this is a counter-service type restaurant. Definitely give them a try if you're in the area!

What an establishment!…read more Amigos is spotless and well-lit and the music is at the perfect volume. The staff is kind, welcoming, and fun as well as helpful. But the food is at another level especially with the modest pricing. It's clear they work to make certain everything from meat to vegetables is fresh and seasoned perfectly. My girlfriend had a chicken burrito bowl and I had the steak. Both were delicious, loaded with expertly cooked protein as well as vegetables. Their salsas and sauces are also fantastic. Open to 3 AM on the weekends, it's the perfect place for that satisfying late night snack. They are also adept for DoorDash and probably every other pickup service. We cannot wait to return!

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.

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.

These were nice: the consomme was flavorful and not too salty, the tacos had a good amount of meat, and I appreciated that there was only one layer of tortilla as I feel like usually they're double-wrapped. We also got the chicharron preparado with steak. I thought it would be difficult to eat but it ended up being easy enough. This was fine, a little on the heavy side with the mayo, but a good dish to share. The price point for everything was reasonable, especially for the amount of food with the chicharron. And the complimentary chips to start were complimented nicely by the hot sauces they provided.
