A coworker recommended this place to me. I ordered the Cemita w/ beef Milanesa & 2 tacos since I saw that a few yelpers were giving them good reviews. I ordered 1 cabeza taco & a lengua taco. This is one of the very few tricks that accepts credit cards so that was a huge plus. 4 stars Milanesa Cemita: the beef Milanesa was perfectly cooked but 2 things really got to me. #1 the meat was tough & so was the bread. The bread seemed like it was toasted then left on a plate til it got cold & u know what happens when you do that... It gets super hard. My teeth & jaw were hurting as I toughed it out & finally finished my Cemita. #2 the tough meat added to the not so enjoyable meal...& jaw pain. They do give you a great amount of cheese, chipotle & avocado. Next time I'll ask them to cut my Milanesa into small pieces. Just to make sure that my meat isn't too chewy. If not I would've gave the Cemitas a solid 5 star rating. 5 stars Cabeza taco: one of the best cabeza taco I've had in a while. I was pleasantly surprised, the meat was well seasoned & super tender. 4 Stars Lengua: the taco was also super tasty but the cabeza taco overshadows this one. Overall, I will definitely come back & try other things from the menu & hope they earn the 5 stars they deserve. read more

This taco truck is wonderful. First, the man there is really sweet and always asks if u want everything on it. I never know what everything is but just say yes. If you do not wanna get a fiery hot burn in your mouth, don't eat the chili pepper that comes with the burgers. Many order sans chili. This is for meatlovers. The quality meat is def taco truck quality but made to be so delicious. You get the burrito or tacos and it is all meat. Being known for their cemitas (mexican type of sandwich), i recommend it. I do Not like bread with mexican food, but this is the best i think it can be. It is also enough as a meal. I Love bread, and it was soooo good, like homecooked quality, crispy on the outside and doughy on the inside. It was so good I ate the whole darn thing and passed out in a food coma for the whole evening. Seriously, I fell alseep tho. If you wana save money and eat yummy food till you're full, do it here! Just ummmm be tough cuz it's spicy. It's safe to go with carne asada, al pastor, or chicken. Or just ask for beef if u want. If you are brave, the other stuff is like pig's head, beef tongue and things like that. Some ppl don't care and some don't care to even know. Up to you to try. Last thing, yes this is the truck in the early day, and Not the one at night. The one there at night is flashy but half the quality and quantity. Still... Better than nothing on a late night right? read more

I drove down Venice in my car and parked in the Smart and Final lot, hoping I would not be towed. I walked the short distance to the truck and ordered a cemita de milanesa de pollo, and picked a glass bottle of Mexican Sprite from the block of crushed ice, which I drank while I waited for the sandwich. It was sweeter than its American counterpart and reminded me of my days of being an imperialistic tourist in that county. After several minutes, the sandwich was ready, and I took it back to my car, where I readily devoured it. It was an exceptional sandwich, much better than the cemitas available at the truck in my neighborhood. The cheese was tangy, the milanesa tender and crunchy, and the avocados ripe. After I had eaten half of the sandwich, I returned to driving down Venice Boulevard, which I followed until the 405, which I took south towards LAX. I ate the rest of the sandwich on my way to the airport, where I met the ruddy-cheeked father of my friend from New Jersey, who had flown out because my friend was in the hospital after suffering a serious intestinal problem. He was grateful for having someone to greet him at the comedy of errors that is LAX, and I was grateful for having been able to eat the transcendant sandwich, and for my own solid intestinal health. read more

oh! this truck, this glorious amazing food truck outside of smart & final that serves up the most juiciest tacos and out of this world cemitas! My first cemita was from this truck and it was life changing! I had the cemita al pastor and that thing was a monster! Usually though, we come for the tacos. The tacos de lengua are my favorite, i could have ten of those things...but al pastor is pretty dang good too. Go here, have tacos, be happy. read more

YUM!!! well, not the burritos but CEMITAS ARE AMAZING the cost of one of these huge delicious sammich things are 5 bucks! The bread is slightly toasted, the cheese is stringy, and the hot sauce is not only hot but flavorful! What adds to the deliciousness, is the generous avocado spread. Totally worth $5. I would get the Cemita al pastor -- this thing is just amazing. It's pretty big and I'm sure I could split it into two meals but it's so good that I always end up finishing the entire thing :(. As for the carne asada burrito search, don't bother coming here -- it's not that good. The tacos are okay, too. Nachos are pretty good too :) Everytime, I have come here, there seems to be a crowd. The wait's not terrible but you will have to wait a little! read more

i finally got to this truck on time... and i was def NOT disappointed... i ordered 6 tacos (3 types) including fish and asada.. i cant remember the third one.. i wish i do remember because it was the best one! I started with the fish taco, then the mystery taco to my lovely asada cravings... and it def satisfied my taste-buds for 8 bucks!!! I will probably start to become of of this trucks stalkers.. finding out where it will park next!! P.S this is the first time i have ever eaten from a truck before lol.. i always thought they were not the greatest food.. or dirty.... but this truck proved me wrong!! I love it! read more

This place is at Smart and Final during the day and at night it's the Ruben's Taco truck. I tried this for the first time and really liked it. They don't have a lot of seating, nor a salsa bar on the counter, or $1 tacos, but it was very good! They give you veggies, salsas, and chips when you order! The tacos also come with everything "salsa, cilantro, onions" etc so it was a nice touch to not have to pile that all on yourself or you could tell them what you wanted. I got 3 chicken tacos for $4.50. I was worried I wouldn't like the salsa since you don't get a choice, but I liked whatever it was. They have 3 stools there and ton of drinks on ice which Ruben's only has like some drinks so that was nice. I would def come again. read more

Saw this on yelp and read all the great reviews. I ordered the cemita de milanesa. The food was ok but I have had better. $6 for a cemita. The salsas are good and spicy. Nothing about the cemita really stood out. If I have a craving for a cemita I might consider this place again. read more

A great late night place to get a fast bite. The little tacos are good and the fillings are fresh. This truck hangs out in front of Smart and Final (on Venice near Clarington ) till 3am! I have passed by it many times but finally tried it and am glad I did. If you are really hungry their burritos are really big. Prices are really fair. read more

Angelicas Cemitas Originales - Night shot from the sidewalk. - Mexican Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Happened to be in the area for work. Saw the truck and grabbed the Milaensa de pollo. Delicious... Perfect amount of everything, the texture of the sandwich was great. Very filling and a good portion for a good price (especially for a mobile truck.) Being in California we got way too many blehhh mexican joints. That get by with bland meat and terrible flavors by drenching everything in salsa. THIS WAS NOT ONE OF THOSE PLACES. Would definitely come back. read more

Not as fat as I expected but very delicious the meat we chose ( cesina) was BOMB... we will definitely return , we ordered ahead

I usually give a place at least 3 tries before I write a review. I do this because I want to have an accurate assessment in the quality of both product & customer service of any establishment. I would like to inform Yelp, fellow foodies, & the internets....that Angelica's Cemitas Originales (the Blue Taco Truck that states "Cemitas Poblanas") is the best Taco Truck I've personally come across in the Westside of Los Angeles. I'm not easily pleased, but without a doubt I will constantly come to this awesome Taco stop. It's on Venice Blvd right next to Smart&Final. On top of all this goodness I just mentioned, they ACCEPT CREDIT CARDS Hallelujah!!!!!!!! Highly Recommended read more

Angelicas Cemitas Originales - $5 Massive Cheeseburgers w/ Fries & a Coke... What are you waiting for... - Mexican Near Me - Los Angeles, California

I've come here for lunch three days in a row now. It has become my gold standard of what it is possible to purchase for $5. I've had the cemita al pastor and the cemita milanese. They are PHENOMENAL. Seriously, like among the best sandwhiches I've ever had. So simple too: string cheese, uber-fresh avocados, your choice of meat (I'm normally a die hard al pastor fan, but in this instance I may prefer the milanese), a spicy chipotle sauce, and an unbelievably delicious, crisped sesame roll. Maybe a little onion, and that is all. But as good as the sandwiches are, they have the BEST salsa roja I've ever had. It's hot, but before you feel the heat you get the amazing complexity of flavors. I put the remainders from the little containers in my fridge and ate it with everything from eggs to my homely, home-made sandwich the next day. I would purchase the stuff by the quart of the proprietor would sell it to me. Alas... he won't. I'm more than a fan. I'm in love. read more

Much better than the rubens that posts up in the same spot after 6. I admittedly haven't tried too many cemitas but their cemitas are pretty bomb. Tacos are average however. read more

I love this Cemitas Poblanas truck... If you don't know what a Cemita Poblana is it's like a Mexican Torta (sandwich) only it has much more smokey flavor (chipotle spicy/salsa roja), it contains quesiillo (or queso fresco) with an authentic bread roll and usually is made with milanesa. This place offers a variety of proteins like Jamon (Ham), Milanesa (breaded Veal), Pollo, Carnitas, Carne Asada (plus others), and/or just plain Quesillo. Their food is fresh, tasty and comes out quick. If you like just plain tortas they offer that as well along with Burritos and street tacos. The Taco de Al Pastor is outta site! They also have burritos and tacos de Buche and several others. They have two types of Salsa... Red (Roasted pepper)/Green (Tomatillo). Incredible. read more

Their tacos SCHOOLED my ass. I thought I was all tough because I coat every slice of cheese pizza in crushed chilies (like you're supposed to) and never break a sweat. I didn't think I ordered a spicy taco but somehow the jalapeno of death found it's way into my mouth and kicked the shite out of me. Literally. I drove to the CVS nearby and chugged a litre of milk. No affect. After I got home, I was weeping on the kitchen floor, shoving vegetable oil up my nose. That seemed to work after a few minutes. Moral of the story: if you're a white girl like me, don't eat the jalapenos. Order the carne asada and save yourself the misery. read more

Came here this past weekend to try these highly rated cemitas. The husband and I ordered the al pastor cemitas. It was $6 and after a few minutes we walked away with a hefty bag full of meaty goodness. The meat was really great and flavorful, but we were not a fan of the bread. It was spongy, bland, and just not awesome. In sandwiches, the bread is the foundation and this cemitas did not have a good foundation. Despite the meat being good and the price being right, I don't think I'll be back. Maybe if they get better bread =) read more

My go to place! Love how they have a calling system so I can call in and pick up my food within 10-12 minutes. Their food is always fresh and delicious and my husband is now hooked! Haha he orders food to go for work and always satisfied with our purchases. Thank you Cemitas truck! For always being there your services are always looked forward to. read more

Agreed with Alex S., this cemitas poblana truck is absolutely delicious. To me, what differentiates a cemita vs. a standard torta is the bigger roll, awesome shredded cheese, and twice seasoned meats with delicious smoky flavor ( milanesa and al pastor being the preferred ones). Ingredients were/are fresh and a cemita will only set you back about $5 to get super filled up. Please foodies, if you're in the area this place is worth a look. Hours are limited though, afternoon through 4:30pm. Maybe one day a late night spot?! read more

They moved from old location on Venice Blvd in front of the Smart & Final from years ago .... Be sure check *White Food Truck* named on Angelica !! Owner is very friendly guy and foods still great taste! read more

I didn't think this would happen to me. Of course, every time I think that, something indeed happens to me. I wasn't exactly anti-cemita, but I did have mixed emotions about them. My introduction to Angelica's was in the wake of a post-Krav Maga hunger (weak knees, blurred eye-sight, sore feet, neck, and arms). Husband, Watson and I set off to explore our new neighborhood for a sandwich shop. All the good ones on Sunday afternoon were closed. But there was that food truck in front of Smart and Final--always people milling about like an AA break. A highlight from one Yelp review read that the cemita from this truck was "life changing." I was suspicious. But man, I was starved and getting grumpy. Because we are dorks, we ordered a chicken burrito and ham cemita. The burrito was good, nothing too special, but I preferred it to the cemita, which was way too hammy, smokey, and cheesy. Though the amount of avocado was impressive. At first I thought the cheese was either shredded chicken or cabbage. I love cheese, but I was dubious about this ropy, industrial-strength fromage. I stuck with the burrito, husband with the cemita. The next day, I get a photo texted to me from my husband. He's outside the blue truck. A few minutes later he writes, "I have to really concentrate on not eating the whole thing--so good." Five hours later, half a milanesa cemita remained. For the record, milanesa is much better than ham. And the thing is huge. Not Langer's #19 huge, but for the price you pay at Langer's for one #19, you can get three of these (yep $6 even). They're highly share-able, and just as good reheated in the toaster over. I had to go back today for lunch. Called in my order, walked down with Watson. It wasn't easy, but I saved half because marriage is all about reciprocity...and not getting fat. read more

One of the best taco trucks on the Westside and they also accept credit cards! It's located very closed to work and they're quick and you can call ahead (I've heard but have yet to do). I've tried a lot of the carne asada taco, a breakfast burrito, the fish taco, California and regular asada fries, and the asada bowl and all were delicious! read more

$7 for a half asada half al pastor cemita. Lots of cheese and avacado. 2 types of salsas to put on it. Yum! read more

phenomenal, other worldly, unspeakable goodness can be found at this truck. i often laugh at the mooks waiting to get seated at natalie thai, located at the end of the block, because angelicas is next level type eats while much of what natalie offers should be relegated to a food court. my personal favorite is the al pastor cemitas. its becoming a bit of an issue because i find myself going there twice a week. i've also spotted this truck in ktown on weekends. read more

Second taco truck stop tonight. And what a taco it was!!! The pastor here is bomb! A must eat they have great selections for Mexican food here! read more

They have some of the best tortas and cemitas in Los Angeles. I've been coming here for a few years now, and their food is cut above the rest. The cemitas are always meaty, cheesy, spicy and on a big bun. Get a Jarritos and a cemita, then drive to Venice beach or Santa Monica, and enjoy your meal by the shore. read more

Don't know anything about the food, but I'm watching the driver of the truck actively text and drive on Venice Blvd (I'm a passenger) this guy barely has his hands on the wheel of a giant food truck steering wheel and he certainly isn't watching the road. Hey man, knock it off, you're going to kill someone. read more

This place is great I barely got moved to a construction job site in Dunn drive. Everyone at work was telling me to come here ok I said wonder wat the fuzz is all about so I went at lunch got myself a chicken burrito the nxt day got my self a chicken cemitas the other day got my self the a pastor cemita man let me tell u it satisfied my taste buds it so good makes u wanna slap Ya momma, yeah there's a rally's around yeah there's a McDonald's around the block as well as another mexican food joint n in out Thai food yeah but who cares because cemitas Poblanas is ryte there to satisfy my craves and plus the girls taking the orders are sweet nice and always smiling I like that. So if u are around town in this place or by culver or surrounding areas I suggest u stop here!!! Yup good food truck joint. Chicken cemita the best mmmmm!!! Oh and prices are very fair super cheap! read more

I always enjoy coming here because the service is great, they take card, it's cheap and delicious. I will say that cemitas looks to be their specialty and because I'm celiac, I've never tried it. I have tried their tacos which are delicious. Their burrito bowl is also delicious and is pretty hefty. They are generous with their food and you can even order by phone and pick it up. Don't confuse the blue truck with the green on or you will be disappointed. read more

came here again..... this time I had the carne asada burrito = just okay. not the best meat... you know the fatty kind where here and there there is fat and you know it's fat and so you spit it out because of the texture. Yeah that kind. Cheap meat. Hey! but it's $5.00. read more

Caught the truck posted on the sepulvida & national infront of cvs he said he's been there for 3 months ....... Bomb assssssss cemitas

This food truck is parked in front of the Smart and Final at Venice and Clarington. The Cemita al pastor for 6 bucks is an absolute steal. Imagine a huge BLT with a ton of avocado, add chipotle sauce and quesillo and that's what you get. read more

I happened to be in the area and hungry. I ended up getting a cemitas sandwich with carne asada and it was beyond delicious. This is a big sandwich and you'll need two hands to manage it. The meat was seasoned just right, The bread was toasted to perfection, it also had onions and slices of avocado along with a white Mexican cheese. If you have driven by this truck and never stopped do yourself a favor and stop. Make sure to get a side of their red salsa and pour it on each and every bite of your sandwich. read more

I'm lucky to live near this place. The burritos here are good -- they're very spicy and filling. It's the spiciness that really sets them apart from your run of the mill burrito. You have to try a cemita poblana here. I really enjoyed the milanesa one I had for lunch today -- it was, like the burritos, spicy and full of flavor. It's basically a big roll of bread stuffed with meat, cabbage (I think), avocado, cheese, and some kind of excellent salsa. Anyway I'm writing this review for those of you who live near this truck like me but have never tried it. You should try it. read more

this is one of the best sandwiches i've had. i always get the milenesa cemitas but have had the carnitas, carne asada and al pastor. i eat here at least once a month. cant beat the price either. read more

I always get carnitas first as a baseline and they have really good carnitas here. Some places don't give the carnitas a good sear or season it well but this place was perfect. I had it in the burrito and it was not only delicious but large as well. I'm definitely going back to try everything on the menu and will update as I go. I'm just bummed that they don't have longer hours in this location. read more

Maybe I went on an off day but I found the carne asada cemita to be incredibly salty and dry! I don't know what the hype is about, but everyone deserves a second chance. I will come back for the Al Pastor or the Milenesa. read more
