After the success of La Bicicleta’s first location at 12 South 8th Street, founder Francesca Walsh began to look for a second location to expand their reach. Walsh says they love the accessibility of their new location, which has an expansive 12-space parking lot and a drive-thru where guests and DoorDashers can conveniently pick up their online orders without having to park. “We also love the bar-height seating that lines the restaurant’s window and our intimate two-tops that comfortably sit 37 guests,” she says. “We are excited to be alongside long-standing incumbent restaurants, like Punta Cana Restaurant, The Vegan Butcher and Aladdin. The variety in cuisines just within this section of Allentown is a testament to the diverse and rich culture within the Lehigh Valley community. Most importantly, we are so happy to be adding Venezuelan cuisine to this list.” Their traditional staples include arepas, cachapas, empanadas and tequeños, all made by hand. Their top-selling item is their tequeños, which are a Venezuelan take on mozzarella cheese sticks.
