Cemitas Poblanas — Restaurant in Burien

We enjoyed these huge, full of flavor sandwiches very much. We’ve had tortas and aren’t fans, but Cemitas are somehow different. For one the bread is different and can hold up to the ingredients. Another reason is the sandwiches are absolutely huge. We managed to eat all of it in one sitting and fully regretted it as our bellies were so full later on.

Only order the sandwiches and check your receipt, they will up charge you if you're not looking. I asked for 2 tacos and they charged me for a plate, and still only gave me 2 tacos. They know what there doing. Red and green sauce is good but you have to ask for it. They take cards and the staff is friendly, if not a bit shady.
