La Cocina Del Abuelo Grandpa's Kitchen: Reviews & Ratings
Food is Delicious! Friendly service and great variety of entrees, sides, and desserts
Great food- I had the Birria tacos and sweet plantains. I also has a perky Tamarind Aguas Frescas I ate inside (small about five tables and very casual) I'd go back again.
Birria tacos are delicious with consommé for dipping. However, they are greasy and gave my husband a minor indigestion. The esquites is an enjoyable side dish. It has some spicy kick to it. Conveniently located near PPL arena.
Tried the Al pastor tacos, which were so good! They were very flavorful, some of the best I have had. Also, I tried the flan. Go get that!
Birra tacos were delicious, can't wait to go back and try more off the menu. Authentic Mexican food. Great service
Really good quesadillas. They fill them basically to the brim so you receive a huge portion.
By far the best family, small business experience I've ever had. Even though it's a smaller space, two young women accommodated our group of 10 people by putting tables together and waiting on the entire time. They offered recommendations and insider details of how everything is prepared. The owner came out personally and spoke to us of the quality of the food. He offered us samples of the lengua which was so soft and delicious. The salmon burrito was crispy and just salty enough. Highly recommend that dish for your entree and the homemade tres leches cake or the homemade Nutella churros. Perfect experience.
Probably one of the most authentic Mexican places I've ever been to, Lemus the owner was very very kind and they use the freshest ingredients living here in Allentown. Highly recommended.
High quality food! Really great place to eat. Friendly people and not crowded. It was some of the best food I have had in a while. I normally get food in New Jersey and this was really great.
Went after an event at the PPL Center. It is literally a 45 second walk from the front door of the arena. We made it at their closing time, and they kept the restaurant open over an hour later just for our group. The owner spoke with us, and he was a very nice guy! He told us the whole history and vision for his restaurant (which he just recently opened). The food was amazing, made from scratch. I had the new brisket tacos and the chilaquillas in salsa verde, topped with beef and queso fresco! Legit! I will definitely be eating here every time I find myself back here in Allentown!
