El Rey Del Mofongo - Allentown

Finally, there's an authentic Dominican/Puerto Rican restaurant in the Lehigh Valley!

This is the best Puerto Rican food I’ve ever had, particularly the pork. Don’t miss out on the crispy bits—they’re absolutely incredible!

My favorite restaurant in Pennsylvania has the best food, outstanding service, and an amazing staff.

Absolutely amazing! This was our first visit to this restaurant, and it certainly won't be our last. We enjoyed roasted chicken, yellow rice with gandules, plantains, tostones, boiled yucca, beef and cheese empanadas, and chicken empanadas. Everything was delicious, and the portion sizes were quite generous. I also really appreciated the thoughtful packaging. The customer service was excellent; I called ahead to see if someone could meet me at the door since I had my kids in the car, and they were more than happy to accommodate me. Overall, it was a fantastic experience!

The flavors were average. I ordered two different mofongos with green plantains, but both ended up being a bit sweet, which wasn't what I was expecting. The containers weren't labeled, so we had to guess which one was which. I also got two empanadas—one with cheese and the other with chicken—but once again, the bags weren't labeled, so we had to figure it out ourselves. It tasted like the dough was store-bought instead of homemade. Considering the price—almost $40 before tip—I expected higher quality. I won’t be coming back.
