Our Cooking Methods Are Culnary, While Our Service Fastfood-ish!
Our menu is simple, three entrees (cemitas, tacos arabes, tostadas) that's it a nice and simple menu. But various combinations of assembling a delicious gourmet sandwich on-the-go! We got this cooking to a science, we bring that Mexican "Poblano" style zest to Los Angeles, CA.
We are a staple of the Boyle Heights/ELA area
We couldn't be happier to be part of this wonderful hodgepodge culture that is Los Angeles. Our Poblano flavors have changed and redefined what Mexican food is all about, this cemita sandwich is not available across the US nation so...consider yourself lucky if you have one of these sandwiches in your hands.

We started the cemita crazed back in 1991 in a weather beat-down food truck near Salazar Park, Ditman & Whittier. Nobody gave us a shot, but we kept at it in a community that was built on 2x1Tacos, we changed the minds by bringing traditional Poblano style flavors to this area. And well little by little our cemita sandwiches became a staple of the East LA area. In 2005 we moved into a restaurant, it has been a wonderful "perron" journey. GRACIAS which means WE LOVE YOU, jk., it means THANK YOU.
