Cemitas El Tigre

Mexican restaurant · Sunnyside

"You’ll look like Edvard Munch’s "The Scream" when you eat the extra-tall cemitas at this Sunnyside spot, but you’ll enjoy every minute of it. Pork, short rib barbacoa, and even Southern fried chicken cemitas are available, stacked with Oaxaca cheese, chipotle puree, and more delicious stuff. Order at the counter and then hang out at the eight-seat bar, where you can also get one of those frozen margaritas with a beer bottle in it. The Order: The chipotle puree is the magic ingredient in all the cemitas, but the carnitas version has an extra five-spice kick, and melt-in-your-mouth tenderness." - will hartman, willa moore, neha talreja, bryan kim, sonal shah, molly fitzpatrick
