Cemitas La China Poblana

Yo nunca había escuchado hablar de las famosas Cemitas Poblanas, y no por el lugar sino por que las cemitas es un platillo típico de Puebla.
Resulta y resalta que esas delicias llamadas cemitas son como un tipo de torta pero en lugar de ser hechos con teleras son hechos con pan de cema, son panes que son un poco salados pero puedes acompañarlos ya sea de algo dulce o salado, en este caso se preparan con guisados de modo que les puedes poner por ejemplo una milanesa y todo lo que lleva una torta como lechuga, aguacate, tomate, cebolla y chiles o salsa.
Pero es que no te comes cualquier cosa es una mega cemita muy grande que no sabes por dónde comenzar, súper ricas y hay bastante variedad.
El lugar es muy pequeño un estilo medio americano en su interior pero con un sazón muy mexicano, lo padre de ahi es que las cemitas son hechas y horneadas por ellos mismos, y las carnes e ingredientes son del sur, entonces ahí puedes comer con autentico sabor poblano.

This is my first review about a business in Tijuana, I know I’m breaking ground here so I had to list the location as San Ysidro because Unilocal doesn’t allow reviews of places in Mexico, how lame is that, especially in a border town? Hopefully people aren’t too thrown off by the location, yes it is in TJ. You heard it hear first. The actual location is at the bottom of this review.
On to the food. This is not just Mexican food as you would expect. Mexico has several regional foods, it’s a big country, you should expect that.
This food comes from the Oaxaca region of southern Mexico, which means it’s influence is from the indigenous people there. It doesn’t get any more authentic than that.
I’ve never had most of the stuff on the menu, however, I went with a good group, so I tried a bit of their choices too.
I had a «cemita» which is kinda like a sandwich, but better. I think I had the Cemita Arabe, which comes with Aguacate (avacado), Carne Arabe (arab meat), queso Oaxaca (cheese from Oaxaca), cebollas (unions), papalo (don’t know?), jalapeño (if you don’t know what a jalapeño is, get out from under that damn rock!) or chipotles (another chile).
This sandwich is big and goes for $ 67 pesos about $ 5 bucks.
I also had the authentic Oaxaca chocolate, no milk involved here, just real chocolate, like the Mayans and Aztecs drank. They mix it with water, but if you have to be a Spaniard and have it with milk they do that too. Oh and sell it in little blocks to take and make at home.
My friend had the enchiladas, but oh man these are not regular enchiladas, these come smothered in mole sauce and topped with fried bananas, delicious!!!
They also have fresh waters or Aguas Frescas, but not those cheap powdered drink ones you get in the states, these are made from scratch. Here are some examples: pitaya, guanabana, maracuya, alfafa, guayaba, mango.
I could go on forever with more delicacies but this would never end, so just go and check it out. I recommend taking a taxi and giving him the cross streets, you will find it. No. 924 Avenida Negrete in Zona Centro entre 5ta y 6ta (between 5^th and 6^th avenue)
Good luck and safe travels (it’s not that bad in TJ, quit crying)
