La Placita

Best Spanish food I’ve had in a long time! And the staff all know English, which is a huge plus

Took the kids here for dinner and I highly recommend. The people here are so nice and treated me and my kids so nicely. We had the pork torta, tacos and enchiladas with the Verde sauce. It was a bit spicy but so delicious! Can't wait to go back

Came upon this place while driving and I live in a Spanish neighborhood (north Bergen NJ) and I thought wehad authentic Mexican food …. This place was amazing !!! Much better than anything we have in my town.

This is the best place for street tacos and tamales. I used to live in Allentown and ate here several times a week. I recently came back for a visit and ate here 3 days in a row. Everything is very fresh and tastes amazing!

1st time coming here and OMG😳 we loved it the price is right, it tasted authentic the flavors were poppin the meat, chicken, and pork was juicy and thr bread they used as well was buttery plus the tortillas #YASSSS was fresh most definitely returning.🙌🔥👊💥😎

Great food family owned this is the real deal real authentic food from Mexico this is the closest that you will get to eating in Mexico 🇲🇽 highly recommend trying this place 👌

I only got the tacos and spicy burrito but they were both really good and the people in there are very nice. Would definitely recommend.

A perfect hidden gem. Amazing Latin/Mexican food

This place is the best kept secret in Allentown.

All the food is worth it. Just remember: Cash only

Holy smokes! I finally found a BAD ASS Authentic Mexican Food joint!!! I'm a long way from Texas but man do I feel right at home. I always tell my friends in Philly that you can tell a good Mexican food restaurant by the quality of the hot sauce... not only is their green salsa excellent but it's also spicy. I absolutely loved this place. What's even better is that the seating area is in the back of small Mexican grocery store... absolutely a HOME RUN!

Love ALL their platters😀. I recommend all but my top 5 are #1 Coctel de camaron #2 chicken burrito #3 caldo de camaron #4 Carne Enchilada con nopales #5 Bistec ala Mexicana. Yummy!

My absolute favorite taco spot. I have yet to find steak tacos better than here! Loved them since I was a child! ❤

The food was so delicious I loved 👍❤recommended a 💯👍👍❤

Cant beat these burritos anywhere! Especially for this price. ($9.49)

Delicious and cheap. Best burritos I've had since California.

Authentic Mexican food with awesome hospitality and service. I come from Australia every few years to visit friends and family and this is must stop for me.

Absolutely delicious tacos! A must-try next time you're in Allentown.

Tamales have also become a favorite.

If you dine in, you'll enjoy the lively corner market vibe, cheerful Mexican music playing, and perhaps a soccer match on TV. Most of all, you'll enjoy your interactions with the family that's cooking and serving your food.

me and my boyfriend absolutely love going here. the prices are reasonable and the food is so delicious. there’s an assortment of drinks that you can get as well and seating inside. 10/10 recommend for dates or dinner/lunch <3

What a great spot!! My friend and co-worker brought me here for the first time while in Allentown on business. The food is terrific and the family that owns and runs it make you feel so welcome once you walk in the door. What warm and amazing people, my buddy Chris was absolutely right about this place. I got some steak and chicken burritos along with some taco salads for the team and didnt hear a single complaint about what anyone got. Highly recommend this spot.

Hidden gem. Don't be afraid to go in. It's a bit non conventional but everyone is nice and the food is excellent! 2023 update - still great!
