    Michelada
    Danielle W.

    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!

    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!

    Regular burrito. Huge but not good.

    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).

    Tacos carne asada

    I first head of Cemitas Poblanas after my friend stumbled upon it while getting gas, and saw a long line of Spanish-speaking people surrounding the hole in the wall restaurant. I have never had a cemita prior to this, but my friend showed me what she got there and I knew I had to go. The lady who took our orders was very nice and accommodating, being patient with us while we tried to figure out the Spanish picture menu. I got the #1 which was a fried cutlet cemita with the protein of your choice (I got chicken), while my friend got the carne asada tacos.The cemita was huge, it can easily be shared between 2-3 people. The bread was round and generously packed with avocado, cheese and meat, which was great for me as I love avocado, cheese and meat. The carne asada tacos came with salsa and a pepper. Both entrees were very good, my friend thought the chicken in the cemita was a little dry but I thought it was fine with the chipotle, avocado and cheese. The carne asada was also delicious, being very juicy and flavorful. I wish they had utensils on the tables, but I might be eating the food wrong. I plan to come back to explore the rest of the diverse menu!

    Cemita de carne asada

    Hopefully I can finish this review before my food coma hits...(deep breath) It was love at first sight. The first time I spotted the cemita de carne asada sandwich it was this morning in an article by the Seattle Times on Seattle-area sandwich sensations.Then I realized Cemitas Poblanas was just a couple of miles from my job, and the countdown to lunch time began. The cemita de carne asada is HUGE!!! I got it with jalepenos on the side, but ended up putting them in the sandwich for the extra kick. The cemita de carne asada is simple and delicious! How can you go wrong with avocados, steak, Mexican cheese, and grilled onions on fresh bread! Cemitas Poblanas is the real deal...... Here comes the "my stomach is full and happy" food coma.....zzzz

    Nope. I guess I got the wrong thing here. The service was bad, and my nachos had really bad almost fake cheese.

    Disgusting! The bread was hard and the meat had no flavor. Not at all worth the $11 I paid for a sandwich!

The decor is humorous and pirate themed. The sandwich shop is on the small side, so large groups would find it hard to sit together. One unisex restroom. Complimentary ice water and/or guava flavored water. Order via the cashier. He was friendly, helpful, and recommended a couple of his favorite sandwiches. Fidel Cash Flow: A rich and savory combination of braised pork belly, sliced ham, swiss cheese, dill pickle chips, fresh cilantro, plain mayo, and a spicy brown mustard on a telera roll (4/5). Served with your choice of sides (hand cut fries, waffle fries, chipotle mac salad, & jalapeño slaw). The sandwich size was a bit smaller than expected but it did come with a side. The bread was so soft and good. I also wish it had a bit more meat to enjoy. Otherwise, still a good tasting sandwich. Come support your local business.

In the back there is a huge mural of Dolly Parton, Anthony Bourdain, and a tiny Bob Ross in the style of American Gothic. The walls are covered with trinkets from the 80s and 90s like Homies and California Raisin figurines and KISS Pez dispensers. The food: Smashwich - A really good breakfast sandwich. The hash browns give it some added crunch that is surprising but welcome. Chicken in a Biscuit - The biscuit and chicken taste great. It's a bit hard to eat because of how large of a bite it is and how firm the components are. Vanilla Cream Shokupan Doughnut - The donut portion is tasty and there is a ton of whipped cream on this. The cream is quite heavy though and leaves a fatty mouthfeel. Wish this was a lighter cream that's fresh filled into the pastry, but that's another prep step before serving. Overall, really fun place in terms of the decor, music and interesting twists on food. Oodles of nostalgia is always a positive in my book.

    I have been wanting to try this place for a while. I got the iced Cardi B (a latte with house-made…read morecardamom brown sugar syrup with espresso and almond milk) and my fiance an iced mocha. The first sip of the Cardi B, my eyes rolled back, and I nodded to how good it was. It's not too sweet (I ordered all of this online on their website for pick up and was not able to ask for it half sweet, but glad they didn't over-sweeten it). The cardamom flavor is prominent, so if you don't like that flavor, I'd choose something else. I also ordered some breakfast items. I got the Lil' Verda, which is a breakfast burrito on a flour tortilla with scrambled eggs, cheddar cheese, avocado, and salsa verde ( I also added sausage to it). It's pretty tasty! It's a big burrito for being on a medium flour tortilla. I got the fiancé a breakfast sandwich on a brioche bun (you can choose what bread you want; they even have gluten-free) that came with scrambled eggs, cheddar cheese, and I added bacon for him (adding a meat was only $2, which is reasonable). As I said, I pre-ordered everything on their online ordering system. My order was ready when I got there as promised. The staff member who helped me was super nice and pointed out where the hot sauce (Tapatio) and straws were. They do have separate windows for ordering and pickup. If you order online, just head to the pick-up window. It is a little spendy (breakfast sandwich w/ added meat $10.75, burrito w/ added sausage $12.75, and two espresso drinks at roughly $8 and some change), however, everything is going up in price (Gas is up to $5.09 +), so take that as you will. Overall, it's a cute little spot nestled in a neighborhood. There is street parking, but it's in an area that isn't too hard to find parking, as it is further away from the very busy spots of West Seattle. I'd come back, perhaps take the fiancée there so we can enjoy it fresh.

    I really wanted to like this spot, but it was 50/50 for me. The weekend special Reuben croissant…read morewas fantastic but the breakfast burrito was not great. Also, the menu on the wall is not super helpful because there are no prices listed for the base breakfast sandwich or prices for additional fillings or toppings. So if you don't ask for prices or look online (there's a QR code on the menu, I apparently skipped over this when ordering), you might end up spending a good chunk of change for your breakfast sandwich. It's around $8.75 for the base (bread, eggs, cheese) + $2ish per filling/meat + $1-3 per topping + Sauces are $0.50 Reuben croissant: asked for this warmed and the outside of the croissant was flaky and delicious, meat was yum, sauerkraut added a nice texture and acidity, and there was a sauce in there was was tasty too! Really enjoyed this one Super burrito: comes with eggs, bacon, cheese, black beans, sour cream, avocado, and salsa. It was tough to find the bacon or taste it because it was cut in small pieces. The black beans were sweet and they overpowered the whole thing with sweetness. The arugula didn't add much and was kind of annoying because it was clumped in one bite and hard to chew through. The size was great, but that's about it unfortunately.
