Cemitas Tepeaca 2

This place was recommended to me by 2 Poblanos. They said it is very authentic and it is Puebla in more ways than one.
So my husband and I took our chance. They barely opened and the place looked empty. Abuelita was the lone server serving 1 customer.
We sat down but we were ushered to look at the menu on the wall. I chose the Cemitas Milanesa while hubby ordered the one with the asada.
The wait was minimal in the quiet restaurant. We asked for glass of water and were offered champorado and something else warm.
We agreed only to realize that these extras were not free.
The majestic sandwiches finally came. The fresh ingridients were showcased very well which rivaled the fresh cheese and the crispy milanesa. The bread was heaven. Even a croissant will be very jealous of this very nice, hot, warm bread (FYI– a frenchman is eating next to me and he commended the bread).
All in all, the foox experience was amazing. The drawback is it’s a huge sandwich so you’ll take a doggy bag for sure.
Also, abuela spoke mostly spanish. I understand a little spanish but this can somewhat problematic when you’re ordering.
Despite all these, I would recomnend sandwich lovers to try this place. Tortas have no match to these delicious beauties.

Hands down the best sandwiches in town. It’s ten dollars for a cemita but they are giant. More than enough and we’ll worth the price. The last time I had food this good was at my grandma’s house in Mexico. I’m so glad I found this place. They make bread every morning and you can definitely tell. I’ve also tried their red enchiladas and rice and man oh man are you missing out. These people are not messing around. So get your shit together and go get you some of the best sandwiches you have ever tasted.
Ps Get the extra cheese you won’t regret it.

Stumbled across this place, which advertises itself as «the best sandwich in town». Lofty aspirations, but they may have a point (especially as they are on the Des Moines side of the town line).
Humble atmosphere with multiple media sources playing from all corners (a good sign). Seems to be family-​run (a great sign).
Cemitas are large hamburger shaped buns that are crispy and soft, but perfect for the Chicken Milanese sandwich that I ordered. Cemitas Tepeaca 2 (#1 is in Everett) apparently makes this bread themselves. The menu is extensive — great for return trips.
The lovely owner only speaks Spanish, though another member of the family translated and we were honored that the owner continued to speak in Spanish to us. It was clear she was proud of her food, and what better way to communicate that than in the language of origin.
She mentioned that their food is drawn from their hometown of Puebla, though I think they also feature some Oaxacan food. Regional Mexican cooking is special, and this place joins Tacos Sinaloa on the other side of I-​5 and Taqueria la Estacion in Burien as my go-​to places for great authentic and informal Mexican cuisine.
