"Besides having an extensive menu of cemitas poblanas, this popular East LA sit-down restaurant is a place to delve into the antojitos of Puebla. A plate of assorted chalupas, fried tortillas dressed in red or green salsas and a heaping spoonful of dried cheese, hits the spot for poblanos and fans of the cuisine." - Bill Esparza

Ive been a loyal customer since 2009 almost 15 years. Today I tried the milanesa cemita and the meat was so thin it was practically breading. There was very light portion of quesillo. Not like before. I understand prices are supposed to rise with the economy but I think the quality should remain. "And there was no papalo" not in season. 4 single meat cemitas with 4 cokes $77. Hope it was just a bad day. $6.99= 2009 milanesa $12.99=2024 milanesa

Really good, not much else to say! Definitely an east LA staple - the green salsa could be better but the other salsa is sooo good and spicy! I got the quesillo cemita and my bf got the carnitas cemita both aguas were really yummy it was a little pricey! We also got the platanos Fritos which were actually okay! Cemitas for sure are worth it though

This place was fine. I wish I could rave about it a little more, but I found their tortas to be a little dry. Inside, you will find small tables with Mexican soap operas in the background. They also sell small Mexican candies if you're craving something sweet. The cheese, however, was excellent. I'd return for a quick bite and nothing more.

The food is great from cemitas to quesadilla. Really good well cook. The bread for the cemitas crunchy. The place is not so big don't seat near the restrooms. Parking is ok. But busy most of the time.

Was in the area and decided to give this place a shot…… OMG I’m glad I did. The food was so good, I don’t even know how to explain it. Do yourself a favor and just go. Thank me later!! The portions they give oh my God I was so stuff. Not only is the food amazing but the staff are all so friendly. Definitely coming back when I’m in LA.

The food was terrible. It’s over priced and the quality was not good. I would not recommend this place.

The horchata was delicious and refreshing, it wasn’t too sweet. Probably the best horchata I’ve had in a while, but aside from that the food could be better. The picaditas were a bit bland. The green salsa gave it some flavor.
