I've been coming here since I was like 14yrs old. Best cemitas hands down. I always get a cemita and taco árabe. Owners are very nice, most important they have always been consistent with the food quality.

Todo aquí sabe bien rico Service was quick, ambiance was okay it's a bit run down, but the food was the best! I've tried a few places that sell cemitas this one is definitely top 3. Definitely recommended.
Food was amazing! Service was awesome! Place was very clean! Would definitely come back! We got 3 cemitas and 1 quesadilla! Very affordable and kept us very full! Thank you!!!
If you're in the downtown LA area, and you're looking to try regional Mexican cuisine (Puebla, MX), then stop by Cemitas Poblanas! Ordered a Semita Milanesa, a steak Milanese covered in herbs, shredded Oaxaca cheese (Queso de Hebra), avocado, and fresh onion, with Chipotle salsa spread served in between two toasted sesame buns. Absolutely delicious! Plus pickled jalapeños and veggies on the side (if you like mild spice levels or above). With most Mexican food in LA, the pricing is great. Tons of seating space, and great service (kindest staff)!
