Cemitas Puebla

I have been to this place a few times, but last night when I got there, there was a full house! We had to wait for a table! Of course there's a good reason for it to drive the crowd to Cemitas.. because of their yummy-licious CEMITAS!! My bf and I got the carne asada and spit roasted pork (the meat they use for *taco arabes) cemitas and an order of chalupas.  (*tip.. must try the taco arabes, they are as delicious in a taco form) I love love love the oaxacan cheese they use for cemitas! So delicious! Next time I want to try their ATOMICA!!!! Their food are simply amazing and their salas are icing on the cake!

Ok.. enough with the food.. now to the service.  Despite they were super busy last night, the staff was on top of things and the owner is always so friendly!

I will definitely come back here again and again!

I tried cemitas puebla after watching dive and diners. I also went to check out regional mexican food since there are few choices here in Chicago. I have to say they make an okay torta but nothing special. Overall I would recommend you go here but dont make a special trip since it is just okay.

I enjoyed my cemita, but I think the ambiance is what really takes the cake here.

The owner of Cemita's is an absolute character.  He spoke to every single person entering the door, welcoming them and explaining the menu.  He asks every single person if they've been there before, and makes sure to let the waiter know.  He even came to our table and did magic tricks while we were waiting for our food!

The only thing I didn't like was that he literally forces you to order a cemita if you've never been there before.  I enjoyed my cemita, but I'm not a sandwich person and would have preferred something else.  Oh well, I can order something else next time now.

The horchata was delicious, and the flan was perfect as well!
