Discover 20 Restaurants With the Best Cemitas in Puebla, Mexico

I’m a big sandwich guy and the cemita poblana is one of my favorite sandwiches in the world. It’s my favorite dish in Puebla, something I probably have at least three or four times a week. Like tacos in Mexico City, they’re the ultimate Poblano comfort food.

You’ll find cemitas shops everywhere in Puebla. I’ve had dozens of cemitas from different restaurants and food stalls throughout the city. To help tourists find the best, I’ve put together this list of twenty of my favorite cemitas in Puebla City.

You’ll find different types of cemitas in Puebla so I’ve divided this list into two parts. The first half is dedicated to cemitas poblanas while the second half is for every other type of cemita. I’ll talk about the differences in more detail below.

WHAT ARE CEMITAS?

The cemita is basically a type of Poblano torta or sandwich. The word “cemita” can refer to both the sandwich and the bread used to make it.

The cemita bread roll is said to have evolved from two types of bread brought over from Spain during the colonial period – bizcocho de sal and a hollow biscuit similar to French-inspired pambazo. Both types of bread were produced in Puebla with grain from Atlixco before being fused to become the cemita that we now know of today.

A modern cemita is an eggy, brioche-type bread made with flour, yeast, butter, eggs, salt, sugar, and sesame seeds. It’s hard and crunchy on the outside but soft and rich on the inside. Cemitas are always topped with sesame seeds, which differentiates them from another popular Poblano bread/sandwich called pelonas.

Cemita bread rolls come in different sizes but hamburger bun size is the most common. They can be filled with anything, but personally, I like cemitas poblanas the best.

WHAT ARE CEMITAS POBLANAS?

Cemitas can be filled with anything – carnitas, cecina, tacos arabes meat, lengua, etc. – but the cemita poblana refers to a particular type of cemita sandwich made with a specific set of ingredients.

Also known as cemita milanesa, the cemita poblana is made with milanesa (usually chicken or pork but also beef), quesillo (Oaxacan cheese), avocado slices, onions, papalo, and peppers (either chipotle or chile poblano). Some restaurants may serve them with additional fillings like fried potatoes or boiled pork skin but a basic cemita poblana will contain those ingredients.

When you order a cemita poblana in Puebla, shops will often ask if you’d like it with onions and/or papalo. I always say con todo which means “with everything”, but some people may not enjoy the flavor of papalo which is reminiscent of cilantro and arugula. Personally, I love the unique herby taste of papalo. If you don’t like it, then you can always pick it off.

Also, not everyone enjoys spicy food so most restaurants will ask if you’d like your sandwich to be picante (spicy). If you say yes, then they’ll ask if you want it with chipotle adobado (marinated chipotle peppers) or rajas (slivers of roasted poblano peppers). I enjoy them both but personally, I like chipotle more because it adds a touch of sweetness to the sandwich.

WHAT’S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A TORTA AND A CEMITA?

Torta can describe any type of Mexican sandwich made on a roll or bun while cemita refers to sandwiches made specifically with cemita bread rolls. By that definition, all cemitas are tortas but not all tortas are cemitas.

The cemita, pelona, chancla, torta ahogada, guajolota, and guacamaya are all examples of Mexican tortas.

WHERE TO FIND THE BEST CEMITAS IN PUEBLA?

There are basically two types of cemitas in Puebla – cemitas poblanas (milanesa) and cemitas made with everything else. I love cemitas poblanas but cemitas made with other ingredients like cecina, lengua, and chalupas are excellent too.

The first ten entries on this list are my favorite cemita poblana shops while the next ten serve delicious cemitas made with other ingredients.

CEMITAS POBLANAS (MILANESA)

10. Cemitas “El Gordo”

Cemitas “El Gordo” is a tiny sandwich shop that makes tasty and filling cemitas poblanas. They make it a little differently from other places by adding thin slices of fried potatoes along with fresh raw vegetables like poblano peppers and tomatoes.

Check out those beautiful shreds of quesillo or Oaxacan cheese. Quesillo is a major reason why I love this sandwich. It’s very similar in taste and texture to mozzarella, which is to be expected since it’s made using the same string cheese process.

Originally from Italy, quesillo was introduced to Mexico by Dominican friars who settled in Oaxaca. Buffalo milk wasn’t available at the time so they used cow’s milk instead.

Cemitas “El Gordo” is a hole-in-the-wall about a 10-minute walk south of the zocalo (main square). It’s in a tiny space with about two or three tables so don’t expect much in the way of ambiance or attentive service. They do, however, serve very good cemitas.

Cemitas “El Gordo”

Address: Av. 13 Ote. 403, El Carmen, 72530 Puebla, Puebla, Mexico
Operating Hours: 12NN-9:30PM, Mon-Fri / 9AM-5PM, Sat / 8AM-5PM, Sun
Expect to Pay: Around MXN 65

9. Mi Puebla Antigua Tacos y Cemitas

Most cemitas shops use hamburger-sized cemitas but some restaurants make them with smaller or larger bread rolls as well. Mi Puebla Antigua is one of those places. They offer cemitas chicas (small cemitas) or cemitas grandes (big cemitas) made with milanesa ingredients and other fillings like lengua (tongue), cabeza (head meat), and chalupas.

Pictured below is their chica cemita poblana with chipotle. If you’d like to try more than one type of cemita, then ordering two or three of these smaller cemitas is a great way to sample several in one sitting.

Mi Puebla Antigua is located a little over half a mile east of the zocalo. I’ve never had anything but their cemitas but they do serve tacos, soups, and pozole as well.

Mi Puebla Antigua has one of the more colorful and interesting interiors on this list. It’s filled with historical pictures of Puebla City and what I assume to be photos of Mexican celebrities.

Mi Puebla Antigua Tacos y Cemitas

Address: 14 Sur esquina con, Calle 3 Ote., Barrio de Analco, 72000 Puebla, Mexico
Operating Hours: 11AM-6:30PM, Tue-Sat / 11AM-6PM, Sun (closed Mondays)
Expect to Pay: Around MXN 33-45, depending on the size

8. Cemitas las Poblanitas

Cemitas las Poblanitas is arguably the most popular cemitas restaurant on this list. Located inside Mercado del Carmen, it’s almost always packed with locals – both eating at the restaurant and getting their delicious cemitas to go.

I love the cemita poblana at Las Poblanitas because they fill it with a generous amount of quesillo and slices of ham. They also serve the papalo on the side along with a variety of pickled vegetables. Of all the cemitas shops I’ve been to in Puebla, this is the only place that does that.

Las Poblanitas is located on the periphery of Mercado del Carmen so you can enter the shop through the market or from the outside.

Aside from their shop, Las Poblanitas also has this takeout counter inside the market which is even busier than the restaurant. It always has a long line of locals getting their cemitas to go. Some customers take out over ten sandwiches at a time!

As I always say, no one knows regional food better than a local. If you want to taste cemitas that are clearly local-approved, then Las Poblanitas is one of the best places you can visit in Puebla City.

Cemitas las Poblanitas

Address: Av. 21 Ote. 205, El Carmen, 72530 Puebla, Puebla, Mexico
Operating Hours: 9AM-7PM, daily
Expect to Pay: Around MXN 65

7. Cemitas y Tortas la Poblanita

One thing to remember about cemitas in Puebla – unless you go to a higher-end restaurant, menu prices are typically indicative of the sandwich’s size. If it’s priced at around MXN 30, then chances are it’ll be made with a smaller cemita bread roll. MXN 50-65 will get you an average-sized cemita while anything more usually means bigger sandwiches.

Priced at MXN 92 for the chicken milanesa, La Poblanita serves hefty cemitas that may be big enough for two people with modest appetites.

Check out those beautiful strands of quesillo. I’m absolutely obsessed with this cheese.

Although the name of the restaurant highlights their sandwiches, La Poblanita makes great food all-around. They make delicious mole poblano and chalupas as well.

Cemitas y Tortas la Poblanita

Address: Av 5 Ote 4 Sur, Centro histórico de Puebla, 72000 Puebla, Puebla, Mexico
Operating Hours: 10AM-6:30PM, daily
Expect to Pay: Around MXN 78 (pork), MXN 92 (chicken)

6. Cemitas de Los Angeles

Cemitas de Los Angeles offers one of the best cemita deals on this list. This humble hole-in-the-wall serves delicious cemitas poblanas for just MXN 35!

Some people may prefer sandwiches loaded to the hilt with ingredients but that doesn’t always produce the best results. Sometimes, less is more which is exactly the case with this sandwich from Cemitas de Los Angeles. They make it with just the right amount of ingredients for a perfectly balanced sandwich. Delicious!

Cemitas de Los Angeles is a small sandwich shop located about a 10-minute walk west of the zocalo.

Cemitas de Los Angeles

Address: C. 5 Sur 902, Centro histórico de Puebla, 72000 Puebla, Puebla, Mexico
Expect to Pay: Around MXN 35

5. Super Cemitas el As de Oros

Remember what I said about cemita bread rolls coming in different sizes? If you want a truly manly cemita poblana, then you need to have this super cemita at El As de Oros. You can’t really tell how big it is here but you’ll get a better sense of its size in the next picture.

This behemoth of a sandwich is every bit as tasty as it is big. It costs MXN 100 and can easily be shared between two people. Kudos to you if you can finish it on your own!

Super Cemitas el As de Oros is a cemita stall inside Mercado de Sabores, an indoor food hall located about a 20-minute walk northwest of the zocalo. There are many cemitas stalls at the market but this one had the longest line of customers. When in doubt, always go where the locals go.

Mercado de Sabores is an interesting concept and the only one of its kind in Puebla (as far as I know). You can get other Puebla specialties here like mole poblano, pipian, chalupas, and molotes, although a vast majority of the food stalls specialize in cemitas. As described, when it comes to comfort food, cemitas are king in Puebla.

Super Cemitas el As de Oros

Address: Mercado de Sabores, Av. 4 Pte. 1104, Historiadores, 72090 Puebla, Puebla
Operating Hours: 10AM-8PM, Sat-Sun / 10AM-7PM, Mon-Tue (closed Wed-Fri)
Expect to Pay: Around MXN 100

4. Tacos y Cemitas “Los Pinos”

Like Cemitas de Los Angeles (#6, cemitas poblanas), Los Pinos is one of the cheaper cemitas shops on this list. They make a mean cemita milanesa for just MXN 40.

The cemita poblana at Los Pinos isn’t the biggest or the most loaded but it’s well-balanced and a good size for people with average appetites.

Tacos y Cemitas “Los Pinos” is located about a 10-minute walk east of the zocalo.

Tacos y Cemitas “Los Pinos”

Address: Av. 4 Ote. 804, Centro, 72000 Puebla, Puebla, Mexico
Operating Hours: 9AM-5PM, Mon-Sat (closed Sundays)
Expect to Pay: Around MXN 40

3. Cemitas y Tortas Bang Bang

I lived for a time in the Azcarate neighborhood and this was one of my favorite sandwiches in Puebla. It’s made by an elderly woman who runs a small shop in a more local part of the city. She makes it with a good helping of papalo which I absolutely love.

As you can see in this picture, the best cemitas are hollowed out to create the perfect ratio of bread to fillings. This cemita poblana is the bomb.

Cemitas y Tortas Bang Bang is a bit far from the zocalo, about half an hour east on foot. I suggest going here only if you have plenty of time in Puebla. The place is a bit run-down and not the most hygienic but the women who run this place do know how to make a tasty cemita.

Cemitas y Tortas Bang Bang

Address: Av. 4 Ote. 2433-Local 1, Zona Sin Asignación de Nombre de Col 41, Resurgimiento Cd. Nte, 72373 Puebla, Puebla, Mexico
Operating Hours: 10AM-6:30PM, Mon-Sat / 10AM-6PM, Sun
Expect to Pay: Around MXN 45

2. Semitas Beto

Semitas Beto is my go-to cemita shop in Puebla. It’s located right next to Mercado la Acocota, which is great for me because I used to live less than ten minutes away. Whenever I get a craving for cemita milanesa and don’t want to walk too far, this is where I go.

What you’re looking at here is half a cemita poblana made with chicken milanesa. Their regular cemita milanesa is terrific but wait until you see the especial.

The regular cemita milanesa de pollo (chicken) costs MXN 65 but for MXN 15 more, you can get the especial. It’s the same size as the regular but with the addition of ham, sliced cheese, and boiled pork skin. The boiled pork skin is a game-changer.

Those fatty gelatinous chunks just beneath the layer of quesillo are the pieces of cueritos (boiled pork skin). If you like the texture of tendon, then you need to try this sandwich. It’s so effing good.

Semitas Beto is located about a 20-minute walk east of the zocalo. It’s a bit of a trek but it’s located right next to Mercado la Acocota, the best traditional market in Puebla. You can have lunch here after visiting the market.

I’ve eaten at over three dozen cemita shops in Puebla and this is the only place I’ve been to so far that makes cemitas poblanas with boiled pork skin. Don’t miss it.

Semitas Beto

Address: C. 16 Nte. 401, Barrio de la Luz, 72377 Puebla, Puebla, Mexico
Operating Hours: 10AM-5PM, daily
Expect to Pay: Around MXN 60-80

1. Antojitos Tomy

Antojitos Tomy is one of my favorite restaurants in Puebla. I’ve had their molotes, chalupas, chanclas, and cemitas and everything has been delicious. Also, it’s located just a block away from the zocalo making it one of the easiest and most convenient restaurants to visit on this list.

As you can see in this picture, Antojitos Tomy adds a few chunks of queso fresco (Mexican fresh cheese) to their cemita poblana. The queso fresco is a good addition but I’d still put this sandwich at number one even without it. The bread’s texture and the ratio of ingredients are perfect.

Many people visit Puebla on a day trip from Mexico City. If you’re one of those people, then you’ll have limited time in Puebla so I highly recommend enjoying a meal at Antojitos Tomy. Many of the restaurants on this list are just as good but few are as conveniently located as this one.

Antojitos Tomy

Address: Av 5 Pte 145, Centro, 72000 Puebla, Puebla
Operating Hours: 9AM-9PM, daily
Expect to Pay: Around MXN 80-87

OTHER TYPES OF CEMITAS

10. Taqueria y Jugueria “Los Angeles”

As its name suggests, Taqueria y Jugueria “Los Angeles” specializes in tacos, fresh fruit juices, and smoothies but they offer a good selection of cemitas as well. They make them with the usual taqueria meats like pastor, longaniza, lengua, and arrachera (skirt steak).

I’m a big fan of suadero so that’s what I got. Suadero refers to fattier cuts of beef or pork sliced from the area between the animal’s belly and leg. It’s popular in Mexico City but not as common in Puebla.

The suadero at Los Angeles has good texture though some people may find it to be a bit bland. This is common in Mexico. Many restaurants will under season the meat so you’re free to add salt, lime juice, and salsa to really bring out its flavor.

Los Angeles has two outlets in Puebla’s Historic Center. Pictured below is the larger branch located about three blocks east of the zocalo.

There aren’t many modern restaurants in the Historic Center so it’s nice to enjoy a meal at a bright and contemporary-looking space like Taqueria y Jugueria “Los Angeles”.

Taqueria y Jugueria “Los Angeles”

Address: Av. Don Juan de Palafox y. Mendoza 608B, Centro histórico de Puebla, 72000 Puebla, Puebla, Mexico
Operating Hours: 3PM-1AM, Sun-Fri / 3PM-2AM, Sat
Expect to Pay: Around MXN 55-150, depending on the meat

9. Taqueria San Juan

Like Taqueria y Jugueria “Los Angeles”, Taqueria San Juan is known for its tacos but they also serve cemitas filled with different meats like lengua, cahcete (beef cheek), and ojo (eyes). They’re much smaller than the cemitas at Los Angeles and cost between MXN 15-20 depending on the type of meat.

I like most types of cabeza meat but one of my absolute favorites is ojo. Pictured below is my tasty cemita with beef eye. I love ojo because it has a unique gelatinous texture that’s different from other types of head meat.

If you’re an adventurous eater and want to experience the best of Mexican street food, then I highly recommend trying this. Like the suadero, it’s a bit underseasoned so be sure to add a pinch of salt to tease out its flavor.

You can get a better sense of the cemita’s size in this picture. They’re fairly small and inexpensive so you can easily wolf down two or three sandwiches in one sitting.

Taqueria San Juan makes tasty tacos arabes which you can also enjoy in a cemita. They offer an ongoing promotion where you can get two cemitas arabes for just MXN 24. If you’re traveling on a budget, then you’ll definitely want to enjoy a meal at this taqueria.

Taqueria San Juan

Address: Av. 4 Ote. 802, Centro, 72000 Puebla, Puebla, Mexico
Expect to Pay: Around MXN 15-20, depending on the meat

8. Comal

Comal is one of the best and most popular restaurants in Puebla. It’s located directly in front of Puebla Cathedral, just off the zocalo, making it an excellent choice for people visiting Puebla on a day trip from Mexico City.

You can have virtually every Puebla specialty at Comal. We’ve had their mole poblano, pelonas, chanclas, chalupas, and cemitas and everything has been delicious.

Two things set Comal’s cemitas apart. One, they make them with fillings that you can’t find at most other restaurants like mole poblano, pipian, and chilaquiles. And two, they offer them in tiny sizes served in sets of three, six, or twelve.

Comal makes cemitas in standard sizes too but if you’d like to try them with as many different fillings as possible, then you’ll definitely want to go with the mini versions. They call them cemitas de canasta, meaning “basket cemitas”.

See how tiny they are? You can eat each half in two bites. This one was filled with chipotle relleno or stuffed chipotle peppers.

As described, Comal is one of the most popular restaurants in Puebla. You may have to wait for a table during peak hours so I recommend going at slightly off-peak times if you’d like to be seated right away.

For the best views, I suggest asking for one of the balcony tables. It’ll give you fantastic views of the Cathedral.

Comal

Address: C. 16 de Septiembre 311-b, Centro histórico de Puebla, 72000 Puebla, Puebla
Operating Hours: 8AM-12MN, daily
Expect to Pay: Around MXN 89 (for 3), MXN 159 (for 6), MXN 299 (for 12)

7. Tacos y Cemitas “Los Pinos”

As described in the cemita poblana section (#4) of this guide, Los Pinos makes a mean cemita milanesa but what they’re really known for are their carnitas. Carnitas refers to slow-cooked seasoned pork typically made from fattier cuts of pork shoulder or pork butt.

At Los Pinos, you can enjoy carnitas in tacos or cemitas. Their cemitas aren’t that big so people with decent appetites can probably eat two in one sitting.

Tacos y Cemitas “Los Pinos”

Address: Av. 4 Ote. 804, Centro, 72000 Puebla, Puebla, Mexico
Operating Hours: 9AM-5PM, Mon-Sat (closed Sundays)
Expect to Pay: Around MXN 25

6. Cemitas “La Colonial”

Cemitas la Colonial is a humble street food stall that offers tacos and cemitas made with different cuts of pork like carnitas, cueritos, and lomo (pork loin). The pork is tasty enough on its own, but what makes their sandwiches truly special is that they serve them with your choice of five housemade sauces.

Pictured below is La Colonial’s supremely tasty cemita made with pierna or pork leg topped with the house picosa (spicy) sauce. ¡Que rico!

Cemitas “La Colonial” is located about a 15-20 minute walk west of the zocalo.

Cemitas “La Colonial”

Address: Av 2 Pte, Centro histórico de Puebla, 72090 Puebla, Puebla
Operating Hours: 9AM-7PM, daily
Expect to Pay: Around MXN 34

5. Taqueria la Delicia

If you like the flavor of sun-dried meats, then you need to try the cemita cecina at Taqueria la Delicia. Cecina refers to thin slices of salted and marinated sun-dried beef. It’s a flavorful preparation of beef that goes very well in tacos and cemitas.

The cemitas at Taqueria la Delicia aren’t that big so you’ll probably want to order two of these bad boys. They’re so good.

Taqueria la Delicia is located about a 15-minute walk north of the zocalo.

Taqueria la Delicia

Address: 5 de Mayo 1803, Centro histórico de Puebla, 72000 Puebla, Puebla, Mexico
Operating Hours: 2-10:30PM, Tue-Sun (closed Mondays)
Expect to Pay: Around MXN 30

4. Mi Puebla Antigua Tacos y Cemitas

As described in the cemita poblana section (#9) of this guide, Mi Puebla Antigua makes a tasty cemita milanesa but they offer plenty of other options as well. Fillings like lengua and pierna adobada were tempting but what really jumped out at me was the surtido (cabeza) and chipotle relleno de queso.

On the right below is the cemita chica (small) filled with surtido. Surtido means “mixed” and can refer to any mixture of meats. In this case, it was made with different cuts of cabeza meat.

Here’s an inside look at the cemita surtido. ¡Delicioso!

The surtido was delicious but this chipotle relleno de queso may have been even better. It’s made with cheese-stuffed chipotle peppers, quesillo, onions, papalo, beans, and avocado.

Like Comal (#8), Mi Puebla Antigua offers some of the tastiest and most interesting cemita fillings in Puebla.

Mi Puebla Antigua Tacos y Cemitas

Address: 14 Sur esquina con, Calle 3 Ote., Barrio de Analco, 72000 Puebla, Mexico
Operating Hours: 11AM-6:30PM, Tue-Sat / 11AM-6PM, Sun (closed Mondays)
Expect to Pay: Around MXN 25-65, depending on the size

3. Cemitas America

I absolutely love lengua so it’s no surprise that a cemita filled with delicious tongue meat makes its appearance high on this list. Lengua is one of the most coveted cuts of meat in Mexico which is why it’s also one of the most highly priced.

If you’ve never had lengua before, it’s a muscular but tender cut of meat that’s unlike any other part of the animal. Not all restaurants offer it and the ones that do usually have it in limited quantities. It’s often the first cut of meat to sell out so if you’re lucky enough to find it still available, then you should definitely order it.

This incredibly delicious cemita de lengua was the last one Cemitas America had that day. I could easily have eaten three of these.

Cemitas America only had enough lengua for one sandwich so I got this surtido to go with it. Like the surtido at Mi Puebla Anitgua (#4), it was made with different cuts of tasty cabeza meat.

Cemitas America is a sliver of a cemita shop about a 10-minute walk north of the zocalo.

Cemitas America

Address: Calle 2 Nte 1202-B, Centro histórico de Puebla, 72000 Puebla, Puebla, Mexico
Operating Hours: 6AM-5PM, daily
Expect to Pay: Around MXN 18-28, depending on the meat

2. Taqueria la Michoacana

Like Semitas Beto (#2, cemitas poblanas), Taqueria la Michoacana is one of my favorite cemitas shops in Puebla. It’s located just a stone’s throw from Mercado la Acocota and is almost always packed with locals.

Taqueria la Michoacana serves tacos and cemitas made with select cuts of meat like lengua, cueritos, and costilla (sort ribs). This place is so popular that I’m yet to score cemitas with lengua so I wind up getting surtido instead. Obviously, their surtido is delicious which is why I have them so high on this list.

The cemitas at La Michoacana are on the smallish side so you can easily eat two or three in one sitting.

Taqueria la Michoacana is incorrectly labeled as “Cemitas Juanita” on Google Maps. If you want a truly local experience in Puebla, then this is a great place to visit.

Taqueria la Michoacana

Address: La Acocota, 72377 Puebla, Mexico
Operating Hours: 10AM-7PM, daily
Expect to Pay: Around MXN 18-21, depending on the meat

1. Cemitas la Poblana

When I first ate at La Poblana, I ordered one of their biggest and most heavily loaded cemitas – the Cubana. It was a decent sandwich but a far cry from the house specialty – the cemita de chalupas.

Like cemitas, chalupas are one of the core regional dishes of Puebla. It refers to round, thin pieces of fried corn masa topped with salsa verde (green sauce) or salsa rojo (red sauce), diced raw onions, and shredded meat (typically chicken, pork, or beef).

At first, a sandwich filled with chalupas didn’t sound all that appealing to me but there’s a reason why it’s the house specialty at Cemitas la Poblana. Simply put, it works. Cemitas de chalupas are absolutely delicious and my favorite non-milanesa version of cemita in Puebla.

A cemita de chalupa is prepared with the same supplemental ingredients as a cemita poblana but instead of milanesa, it’s made with chalupas. I don’t know how many they put in there but it’s enough to top this list. This sandwich is a revelation.

Cemitas la Poblana is located just a couple of blocks south of the zocalo. Unless I’m mistaken, it’s owned and operated by Los Globos, a more formal sit-down restaurant just around the corner.

Cemitas la Poblana

Address: Puebla de Zaragoza Pue MX, Av 7 Ote 17, Centro histórico de Puebla, 72000 Heróica, Puebla
Operating Hours: 9:30AM-5:30PM, daily
Expect to Pay: Around MXN 60

FINAL THOUGHTS ON THE BEST CEMITAS IN PUEBLA

The sandwich is like the ultimate comfort food. It’s cheap, filling, and easy to eat. You don’t need utensils and you can eat it while walking or sitting on a park bench.

Like many people, I’ve enjoyed sandwiches in different parts of the world and I can confidently say that the cemita poblana is one of the best sandwiches I’ve eaten thus far. Mole poblano and chiles en nogada may be the more celebrated dishes but if I had to eat just one dish in Puebla, then it would definitely be cemitas. Don’t miss it.
