Rosa Blanca Allentown

Wanted to try this place due to the reviews but Sunday is brunch type of lunch. We order the cuban breakfast sliders. Tell me how they gave us an English muffin...kinda burned. The cafe con leche was good but not as strong as other cuban café that I tried. My pancakes was guava but there was no guava taste. Very disappointing in food and service was all over the place. Took forever for a cup of soda.

We went there on a night they were trying out their tapas concept. We had 6 different small plates to share in our party and every single one was great! Really interesting flavor pairings in the fusion dishes with creative sauces. Chocolate guava empanadas were delicious. The drinks were top notch and the lemon rosemary margarita was great. We will definitely be back!

From the moment we walked into Rosa Blanca in Allentown until the moment we left, we felt truly welcomed by every member of the staff — including Chef Kourtney herself. Our servers, Ashon and Rob, were absolutely amazing. They went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed, and despite the restaurant being packed, the two of them managed the entire floor flawlessly. Every table was attended to, service was smooth, and they kept the place spotless. They are definitely a fantastic team! A special shoutout to Ashon, who made the best coffee, and to Chef Kourtney, who personally came out to check on us. She even surprised us with a heavenly crème brûlée French toast with cream and guava syrup — truly something else! That dish alone is worth the visit. The hospitality here was incredible. We felt genuinely cared for and welcomed, and the food was outstanding. We took photos of our dishes, but trust me… the pictures don’t do them justice. If you’re thinking about visiting this place, don’t think too hard — just go! You won’t regret it.

Great small restaurant in Allentown’s downtown. We loved the experience. The food was absolutely wonderful. We could tell it was fixed by a cheff. A had paisa pork which was like chicharron but it appears it had been marinated in a garlic mix. Awesome. My wife had chicharron that was also well prepared with great flavor and a salad.

I checked out this spot earlier this year. The food I had was excellent. However, I did find the meat in the sandwich a touch dry. The dessert was probably the least impressive thing I ate, because I felt like the shavings were unnecessary. However, the entire meal was much better than much of what other Allentown establishments offer. The service was good and I felt like the time it took to prepare the food was rather reasonable. I would come here again and encourage others to do as well.
