    Midnight Munchies 2023
    Franklin M.

    We made a pit stop for some late night munchies. We ordered three different burritos and they were all delicious. The only drawback on my carnitas burrito was that it had too much rice but other than that, very good flavor. They made an error by making a quesadilla filled with carne asada and mushroom and they gave it to us.

    Ripped dollar

    Around 10:15 on a Sunday night I tried paying with a ripped but complete dollar but lady charging me at the moment did not want to accept it because it was ripped. I told her that every place accepts even it was ripped as long as it's attached and complete. She then proceeded to give me attitude and act smart and says to go to those places then. The food was honestly good but customer service was horrible!!! Won't be coming back ever again!

    I always find myself coming back to this food truck for Cemita De Milanesa because they have pápalo, an essential ingredient for a delicious cemita. There's always people there ordering, from big families with kids to people who just got off of work. They continuously satisfy my craving for cemita every time I visit LA!

    The best cemitas in LA. Estilo Puebla made with your choice of quesillo or queso fresco. The bread is delicious and they always make sure to toast it. They have mexican drinks like Boing. Food is prepared fast and the price is even better. They provide stools to sit and the truck has a standing table outside. Usually not to long of a wait if you wait at all.

    Amazing flavor very original Cemitas tapioca this is very very famous in Puebla I've always wanted to try this since I went to Pueblo and visited Mexico it's an authentic flavor very original nobody else has is the chicken was amazing the Carna Sada was amazing fantastic place if you're in East LA check it out

    The worst torta in Los Angeles. A complete fraud, nothing like the pictures on the truck.

    The worst torta I ever had. Fresh but cold not toasted telera bun with one razor thin slice of Milanesa de res, shredded lettuce and minuscule slice of avocado $6. Cemitas Tepeaca always parked at the corner of Indiana and Cesar Chavez, always busy so I expected something much better.

    little baby fries

    my spanish is not good, but i know when i'm being taken advantage of for looking like a white girl i got a cemita de pata, some fries and two sodas and the lady charged me $15. cemita - $6 sodas - probably $1 but maybe $2? so my fries were either $7 or $5 which is still kind of a lot for this small size. can't be too mad though, cause the cemitas are super good. ‍

    FIRST....Sorry "Javier J." I know your "Elite" but.......I must correct you on one thing, Check your pictures the sign reads "CEMITAS TEPEACA". TEPEACA is a small pueblo in the State of PUEBLA, MEXICO!., http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tepeaca "TEPEYAC as you posted is a Hill located in "DF" Mexico City"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tepeyac The Sign SAYS: CEMITAS TEPEACA................................ Other than that your right on, I stopped by this truck for the first time while heading down Cesar Chavez, and ordered a couple of Carne Asada Tacos and a Cemita de Milanesa, unfortunately I was in a hurry and got it to go!. 2- Carne Asada Tacos $1.00 each were some of the BEST TACOS I have ever had meat wise, the only thing that could make these better would be good hand made tortillas, but since the tortillas tasted fine you can't knock them for this!, and the Red Salsa had a wonderful taste.http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/kIDgalv1GLK4j1arCXh9iA?select=Q2yeLCgksTNYEoZGMI6Z_A The Cemita de Milanesa $4.00, ( a cimita for those of you who are not familiar with is basically the same thing as a Torta!) the big difference is the type of bread "Cemita" is made with an egg bread and it has "Semillas" "Seeds" on top,...http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/kIDgalv1GLK4j1arCXh9iA?select=ZmZTtDhk4AcUHvkz6kpaew So I give them 5 Stars and can't wait to go back, I HIGHLY recommend you try this place out if you in the area. And remember "CEMITAS TEPEACA" as there are several trucks in the area! Don't fear the Truck, Carne Asada is NOT a crime!.......................

    If you want some arguments on how your taco truck has more of a foundation than most of the stores around you, here's a little test. Google map the address it's normally located on and if you see it in the street view, you know they might as well put some plumbing sticking out of the road. Cemitas Tepeyac will be the future King Taco. I believe this is their second truck. The other is over on Whittier Blvd. and they have made the cinco puntos area their home for as long as I could remember. Huge neon sign that reads Cemitas Tepeyac. Cemitas.. if you've never eaten one, it's pretty much a sandwich that has taco meat in it. Sort of like a mix of Torta and a taco, but with a different bread. They're damn delicious and you can taste that here. The truck even has chairs set up and lights, so you don't even have to worry about the dark coming as you'll be well lit in that area while you enjoy your food. Considering I have been to many parties around the homes here, this is a nice late night treat when I'm walking.....er.. stumbling home. They also have tacos and burritos up for grabs if you're not feeling like trying something you've never heard of. They are also just as delicious. Remember, Mexican food is just about interchanging the same exact ingredients that are in everything. Meat, Cheese, Tortilla and Salsa. Their tacos are pretty good, but I would stick to what they're neon light says. I mean, they paid for it to say that for a reason, right?!

We kicked things off with the queso fundido, and wow, it was absolutely delicious! Rich, melty, and packed with flavor, it was the perfect way to start the evening. For my entrée, I ordered the cochinita pibil, which was incredibly tender and saucy in the best way. My husband ordered the short rib, and it was perfectly cooked and full of flavor. On the side, we shared the papas bravas and esquite, both of which complemented our dishes perfectly. The drinks truly elevated the night. My husband and I both love mezcal, and Kateen delivered. I ordered the Valentine's Day "Zona Romántica," which featured mezcal and wine almost like a sangria, but completely unique and beautifully balanced. My husband had the "Gypsy Fever," also mezcal-based, and it was smoky, smooth, and refreshing. Between the food, cocktails, and ambiance, it made for such a romantic and memorable evening. We'll absolutely be back!!

This time, we decided to give it another shot since it has so many good reviews, and I'm glad we did. The ambiance was much better, with nice Tulum-style vibes and music that really set the mood. From the moment we walked in, service was great. We were greeted and seated right away thanks to our reservation. Our waitress, Brenda, was friendly, attentive, and super helpful in explaining the menu and recommending drinks. She checked in often and made sure everything came out quickly. The food was good overall, though the menu is a bit limited if you don't eat meat or seafood. I was especially looking forward to the fish tacos, but it seems like they've been removed from the menu. One thing I really appreciated was the mocktail options. Perfect if you're not drinking but still want something fun. The Wes Colada is a great pick if you like piña colada type drinks, though it is on the sweeter side. The michelada was also really well done, with a nice balance of savory and sour. Overall, I'd definitely recommend this spot for a date night or a girls' night out.

Beautiful plants hanging, perfect Spanish music in the background (any place playing Natalia LaFourcade is a win). The drinks were great! I had the jungle bird which was fun. Food was so good too.

They offer a "Mini" version which would be satisfactory for one person. My favorite thing about these burritos is how "home-made" they are, the salsas and meats are fresh and taste like they came out of an abuelitas kitchen. I still need to try the crunchy tacos and nachos which look great, I recommend trying this classic establishment at least once if you're in the area.
