" Cemitas Poblana is one of the best places for authentic Mexican food. I ordered a couple of cemitas and chalupas and they were fantastic. The flavor combinations are spot on and everything felt fresh. I’ve tried many Mexican restaurants but this one hits close to home. The only downside is that the place can get crowded, so be prepared for a potential wait, but trust me, it’s worth it! " (*Curated Review*)

" Hands down the best place for cemitas and more! Their milanesa is cooked perfectly and the bread is fresh and crunchy. I really appreciated the staff's attentiveness as they made sure everything was to my liking. If you're in LA, make sure to stop by - you won’t regret it! " (*Curated Review*)

" Frequent visitor at this place and I have to say it never disappoints. Every time I order the cemitas, they are bursting with flavor. The verde salsa is a perfect match with everything! The prices are pretty good considering the portion sizes - I always leave full. Can't wait for my next visit! " (*Curated Review*)

" You can't go wrong with the cemitas here! They are huge and packed with flavor. I love the combination of textures from the bread to the meat and toppings. The ambiance is perfect for chilling with friends while enjoying great food. It’s a little hole-in-the-wall, but the quality of food speaks volumes! Highly recommend! " (*Curated Review*)

" I made a special trip to try Cemitas Poblana after hearing rave reviews, and it did not disappoint! The atmosphere is lively but cozy, making it perfect for a casual meal. The chilies were perfectly balanced with the milanesa, and the flavors transported me back to Puebla. I particularly liked their spicy red salsa which complemented every bite. Even though the wait time was a bit longer, it was well worth it. Can't wait to return! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had a very average experience at Cemitas Poblana. The flavor was there, but it didn’t stand out compared to other places I frequent. The atmosphere felt a bit cramped during peak hours, and I had to wait a while to be seated. Maybe it was just an off day, but I expected more based on the reviews. " (*Curated Review*)

" I wasn't impressed with my meal at Cemitas Poblana. The taste was underwhelming, especially for the price. I had some expectations for authenticity based on their reputation, but it felt like something was missing from the flavor profiles. The atmosphere was nice, and the service was decent, but unfortunately, the food didn't live up to the hype for me. " (*Curated Review*)
