Cemitas Poblanas

I love Cemitas but their prices have skyrocketed. $16-18 for one sandwich looking dish. I'm sorry but is not feasible for a family of 3 to spend $70 to eat here.

definitely a hole in the wall restaurant - customer service is great the food is good. I always order a cemita de pollo asado with chipotle. It hits every time! The tacos are also so good! I'm not a big fan of tacos but I'll eat them every time here! My parents love the 7 mares soup as well!

At first I was slightly sad that the cost of food truly has risen... but once I received my brand new baby boy of a burrito weighing literally 2.6lbs all was forgiven. I've only gotten a third of the way through the football so I can't say yet what hidden surprises reside on the other side of this continent but I'm sure it'll be more good stuff!

This is my literal around-the-corner spot. The folks in there are incredibly friendly and they have a ton of dishes you wouldn't find in other joints around Seattle. This is simple food -- no big globs of cheddar cheese or sour cream and no giant puddles of refried beans. The fare here is much lighter and depends on the grilled onions, jalapeños, chipotles, and avocado for flavor. Don't substitute or omit the ingredients. This like eating at a neighbor's house. It's good food made by kind people. The telenovelas on the TV make waiting for a takeout order especially fun and the clientele come from all walks of life. The prices seem pretty consistent with other places around Burien except for the street tacos which are a bit pricier than the local taco trucks or Birrieria Tijuana (my other go to). The place serving tropical drinks next door looks fun, too.

Stumbled upon this place by accident. I love tacos and Mexican good in general and this place es muy autentico! Real deal Mexican food. Very low key but I'm eating here on a Sunday during a Seahawks game at noon and the place is packed! That is always a sign of good food!Huge portions, I love the #28!!! Sabrosa!

Got the regular pork burrito. Asked them to hold the lettuce and add jalapeños. The meat was excellent. Everything else about it was less than adequate. Firstly, although the burrito was quite large in girth and wrapped properly in foil, it was fully flaccid - impossible to eat without a fork. Second, the generous portion of avocado was promising but the fruit was very tough and mealy - almost grainy. The pinto beans had a strong chemical flavor and were pretty mushy. They used massive chunks of queso blanco, but the cheese was entirely flavorless and room temperature - not melted in the slightest bit. It was just a bad burrito. The setting of the taqueria is very rough. It may have been a mistake to visit here just a couple days after spending a week in taqueria paradise (SF bay area).

Been going here -- off and on -- for over a decade and I love the veggie burrito, the staff and the clientele. The burritos are HUGE and are very distinctive from other restaurants. Love it.

Very good burrito, I loved it. I think I found my favorite spot, I live in the same street but never tried this place until yesterday. Only suggestion I have is please melt the cheese in your burrito and cut the asada in small pieces.I heard their chicharones tacos are the best, will give that a try next time.Thanks

Great little spot for flavorful and authentic Mexican food. This is the spot if you want real Mexican, not globs of sour cream or Monterey Jack cheese melted on everything. The menu is pictures on the wall, so if you don't know what you want or what to order you can look at the pics or ask for a rec from the staff. The mole was great and peanuty and savory with a little sweetness. The whole fried fish was great too. Super friendly service! Order a michelada! It comes with shrimp!

I always get the Chicken Sandwich (grilled chicken breast) with no jalapenos. A cemita https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cemitahere is a gigantic, round torta that is stuffed full of grilled chicken breast (caramelized at different edges/areas for interesting textures/flavors) and thickly laden with avocado slices, with some onion, white cheese, and apparently a couple spices.It's a gigantic meal, so unless you can eat a gigantic meal, I suggest that after you get home, immediately cut the sandwich in half then save half of the sandwich in the refrigerator. Don't try to eat it in the car... there is a lot of avocado so you will make a mess unless you are intimately familiar with these sandwiches and just take a bite or two before you start driving. :)The woman who answers the phone speaks excellent English, but she will probably answer the phone in Spanish. If you don't call ahead, and you're looking at the cash register next to the covered doorway into the kitchen while wondering what to do: look at the pictures of the food on the wall, then when you're ready to order, look for the little chrome bell on the counter, then ring it.Tap2Pay is accepted, so you can pay with your phone.The restaurant is located in a very small strip mall that is anchored by a gas station (look to the right of the gas station) near the freeway interchange. There is an exit from SB Hwy. 509 and an entrance to NB Hwy. 509, but no exit from NB Hwy. 509 and no entrance to SB Hwy. 509.It's a small space, and there are always people eating other dishes that are sorta mysterious to me and are apparently more expensive.The Chicken Sandwich (grilled chicken with no jalapenos) to go always makes me happy and full. :)
