This was my first time trying cemitas and tacos Arabe. My friend got one de pierna enchillada and I got chicken . Both were delicious, i preferred the chicken myself. The only thing I would suggest is to ask for the greens they add (papalo) on the side. It has a strong taste that I was surprised by. The tacos arabes were good too ! The inside is clean and the service was good . Would come back again read more

La Poblanita - Cemitas and Taco Arabes - Mexican Near Me - Aloha, Oregon

Saw a write up on Eater and decided to try. Definitely not fancy inside, but that doesn't bother me. The cashier was friendly and helpful as the menu is unique. If you haven't been here before, there are a couple of things they will ask you. I got a torta, with Al Pastor, Chipotle, and the greens on the side. (He suggested the greens on the side as they have a unique taste. (A little more bitter than arugula.) The torta was huge. The flavors were great, a few bites spicier than expected. I was very full. Tried a couple of street tacos. Good but not mind blowing Overall a really solid first impression! I'll be back! read more

The shop is known for their Puebla-style food, especially their cemitas (aka tortas or sandwiches), but we were here to try their borrego (lamb) tacos and consommé (since it's their weekend only offerings). We have tried many tacos and consommé in the neighborhood, which has a lot of them. We both agreed La poblanita's tacos and consommé are leaner than competitors because they use leaner lamb meat. It's not as fatty and satisfying per se, but it's probably more wholesome and better for your health~ Next time we will come back and try their Puebla-style cemitas. We were told they are giant-sized and delicious, so we might share one just in case! read more

Came here on the weekend and got to try the duck tacos but wasn't particularly a standout. The normal menu is better. We got a Al pastor torta and some tacos. Very rare find of $2.50 tacos these days. It was good but nothing was super standout. The pastor didn't have that charred extra flavor. But I am ok coming back again because tacos were cheap and delicious. read more

I've been coming here on and off for a couple years on the suggestion of a neighbor who is from the same part of Mexico as the food. So glad he told me about this place. I really like the #2. The stewed pork, pickles, cheese, avocado, and greens make a perfect bite each time. When paying you get asked if you want jalapeño or chipotle, my preference is jalapeño as it does not take over the flavor of the sandwich. The young man that rings up and service is friendly and helpful when explaining the food. read more

The most authentic cemita and taco árabe I have tried in the USA. For those that don't know, a cemita and taco arabe originated from Puebla, MX. They are delicious and full of flavor. Highly recommend giving them a try. read more

Had the #2 cemitas with carnitas and chipotle. Very tasty sandwich I absolutely loved it. Full of flavor and filling. I don't think I've ever eaten the papalo leaf it was a little strong and prob an acquired taste. I might take part of them off next time. I'll def go again! I thought about maybe trying the mole or enchiladas but the sandwich is so good not sure I will. read more

My husband and I stopped by to give this place a shot. We were both starving and Mexican food sounded good. I had no idea that we were walking into a place with tasty Mexican 'sandwiches'. I got the chicken sandwich, it had a thin crispy fried chicken and was topped with tons of quesillo cheese. I ordered mine without jalapeños or chipotle sauce, I know I'm a wimp. It was SO tasty! The quesillo cheese was like like a creamy cheese shredded cheese stick material, if that makes sense. I plan on ordering ahead and picking this up for a bomb dinner during the week! read more

Great Pueblan food that is difficult to find elsewhere in Oregon. The cemitas are great. I prefer the flavor of the milanesa de res but the meat is a little gristly and difficult to eat, so I would recommend the milanesa de pollo. The tacos árabes were also good. Charming decor (papel picado) and clean restrooms. read more

The pastor taco was also good. it's located off TV Highway where the old Donut shop used to be. The bread was excellent. read more

Big Big Cemitas. Lot of filling with avocados/others and huge bun. If you are not a good eater half of that would be suffice. Steak Tacos didn't come with any sauce(my mistake that I didn't ask either). But expected that to be in there as that's default add on always. Try this place if you want to have sandwiches with a difference. read more

I'd probably give this place 3.5 stars if they allowed it. It was a perfectly acceptable truck and I do plan on coming back to try some of their other stuff if I find myself in Beaverton again. I recently discovered the wonderful world of cemitas when I was down in LA visiting family over the winter holiday season. If you find yourself in the Valley down there, do yourself a favor and go to Cemitas Poblanas Don Adrian. I had my first and only other cemitas there by accident and it really rocked my world. I knew I had to have another, so the first thing I did when I got back was find a local cemitaria. I used the excuse of visiting friends in Hillsboro to stop by this place. Luckily it is located right off the Beavteron Max station in the parking lot of the 76, so it is pretty easy to get to. The cemitas on the menu are the most expensive thing by far. The tacos are $1.25 and the burritos are $5 which would make this truck very reasonably priced. However between a cemitas and a coke, it came to $10 which seems a little high for a meal at a taco truck. I immediately realized why when I got the sandwich. This thing is HUGE. I was really hungry and I just barely managed to finish it and I didn't have to eat again until pretty late that night when I had a small snack. I ordered the carnitas and my girlfriend got the M.D Res (breaded steak). The first thing that differentiated this cemitas from the last one was the bread. The bread really made the sandwich at the last place. It was egg washed and baked to a perfect crispness. A hybread between a brioche bun and a baguette. This bread left something to be desired. It felt and tasted like something that came from Restaurant Depot. My other complaint is with the meats. My carnitas were quite bountiful, but they were a bit soft and very fatty. There were a couple hunks that were just pure fat, no meat at all. My girlfriend's beef was a little on the dry side, but I experienced that before so it might just be the way it is. They also had a couple things on the menu that I had never heard of before, tlacoyos and picaditas. They looked pretty good from their pictures so I'd like to try them out. If you find yourself in the area and need some typical and even atypical Mexican fare, you can't go wrong with this place. My expectations for cemitas are just a little high. Also a car caught on fire at the gas station while we were eating. Good show! read more

Been here a couple times and I have forgotten to write a review! So sorry! This is legit one of the yummiest places in Oregon! We love the semitas poblanas. We have tried chicken, cow and pig and they have all been amazing. These are like huge burgers with real mexican cheese, avacado, papano leaves and your choice of jalapenos or chile chipotle!!! Plus you can ask for green salsa or habanero sauce for extra flavor :P please check out this place they have so many extra menu options I will be back to try as well!!! read more

Best cemitas poblanas ever! I drive 45 minutes just for a chicken Cemita, Very tasty food and spicy salsas. Highly recommend their food. Besides the good food I would just say, the young guy at the front counter needs to have some customer service training! read more

New physical place in Aloha, no longer a food truck. For a Gringo Mexican lover, this is way to authentic, spicy and mui caliente for my taste. From a sparse 9 item menu without much description to buying two super tacos that were amazing until we got down into a sour tasting piece of beef, just to later toss it off to the side because the counter dude F'd up and gave us pork instead. Honestly, bring your Tums...its worth a visit read more

Place is spacious. Tables were clean along with floor service was kind and respectful. Maybe a bit more restroom maintenance but in ok condition. Food is great and cemitas are delicious. I only wish the food looked like the pics posted on the menu. read more

This place was a mission to find. My wife is a huge fan of Cemitas. After looking all over Portland, Hillsboro, and Beaverton I was able to locate this place from the help of a friend who is from Puebla (hometown of Cemitas). For those who don't know a Cemita is a type of Torta or Mexican sandwich. It has quesillo (type of cheese that resembles queso Oaxaca, or Mexican Mozzarella), Avocado, of course the meat, and pápalo (a type of spice that looks like spinach but tastes more like a strong cilantro). We had the cemita de milanesa de rez (breaded beef steak) and the cemita de milanesa de pollo (breaded chicken steak) both with chipotle. I preferred the chicken cemita but the beef one was not too far behind. My wife and I will definitely be going back. I spoke to the owner of the truck and said they are there Th,F,Sa,Su.

La Poblanita - mmmm cemitas - Mexican Near Me - Aloha, Oregon

Checked this place out recently......I really liked it! Went there 2 times in for lunch in the same week. This place is a food truck parked at the 76 gas station. Very limited parking, but people seem to park in the parking lot next door if there is nothing right next to the truck. There is only 1 picnic table there so you may be lucky get it. If not eat on the hood of your car and keep it real! Anyways, so far Ive tried the Cemita Milenesa de Pollo......cripsy chicken flattened out, with guac & chipotle and some greens(not lettuce) on a wonderful bun. Its pretty big in size, so eating just that is filling. I also tried the carne asada tacos, very good....meat cooked perfectly, I ate like 5 of them. They also sell chicarrone in a bag, mexican sodas, and have a little salsa bar to add. I definitely recommend! Pricing is fine.....no negatives about this. Im all about standing around and eating in a parking lot! Makes the experience better! Happy eating! read more

My greatest food discoveries have never come from an online rating that read more like a thirteen-year-old's fanmail to One Direction than a restaurant review. Rather, they have come from driving aimlessly around under-explored neighborhoods. So it's appropriate that the best meal I had in Portland was found in this manner. When I spied La Poblana in the parking lot of the gas station on the northeast corner of Cedar Hills and Canyon, I pulled in so fast my tires scarred the street. Like any taco truck, La Poblana peddles tacos and burritos in a variety of proteins. Nopales and tlacoyotl are on offer on the weekends. But you're not at La Poblana for this stuff - any taco truck or Mexican restaurant will do if you want asada tacos or a plate of nopales. You're at La Poblana for the Pueblan cemitas - their lifeblood, their star, their reason for existing. La Poblana's cemitas ($7.50) are a hefty tome of a sandwich, built upon a sesame seeded brioche-like bun. This bread both gives and takes - compressing like a goosedown pillow between your teeth, yet resisting your bite with a push as gentle as one breaking from a deep kiss for a short gasp of air. A generous pollo milanesa is tucked into the bun; these thin slips of chicken are fried to a noisy crisp in a delightful breading not too dissimilar from panko. And then, there's the avocado that tastes of clotted cream, the tart and crunchy escabeche, the buttery grilled onions, and the salty threads of quesillo cheese. Every texture, every density, every flavor, every expression, and everything pleasant about food is managed harmoniously in this sandwich. This sandwich makes you weak in the knees. ...It makes your eyelids close slowly in bliss, while the corners of your lips turn upward and a tingle crosses the nape of your neck. ...It moves across the palate like Chopin's fingers across the ivories. ...It comes undone in the mouth like a fiddlehead unfurling on time-lapse video. ...It feels. ...It smokes Cubans and drinks scotch. ...It takes you to the symphony. ...It pulls up in a siren red Corvette and revs the engine. ...It draws the drapes, dims the lights, and tears off your clothes. ...It impresses itself permanently into your memory - it is one of three meals about which I will always dream, hoping to someday find something equally perfect. *** CASH ONLY *** read more

This was a pretty interested mexican food truck parked to the side of some street somewhere in the land of parking lots and stip malls of downtown Beaverton. That was actually part of this places appeal to me that it was kind of a unique eatery for the area. Anyways, we waited for a little while for our food, but it ended up being worth it all. They had these unique sandwiches on burger buns - looks like they're called Cemitas. I got a pork one and it ended up having quite a bit of avocado, and what appeared to be something like string cheese and a big jalapeno on there too. I thought everything was pretty tasty and it definitely filled me up. If I'm hungry and in the area I'll probably stop by again. read more

This cart has moved to SW Broadway St, across the way from the Natural Grocer in Beaverton. Their Pierna Enchilada cemita is to die for! If you ask for the papalo, just have them put it on the side, as it is a definite acquired taste. So far, this place is LEGIT! read more

I think 'cemita' must translate into gargantuan! Good lord. First time I've had a Cemita - I did not know they existed until today - credit to Yelp, of course. My life has changed. I had the Cemita de Milanesa de Pollo (fried chicken). Chocked fully of avocado (an entire avacado, I'm sure), Oaxacan cheese, chipotle, and TWO chicken patties. I've become a believer in food carts. Muy delicioso! read more

large portion size, simple and satisfying eatery, great tacos, and good choices of drinks except they sometimes don't have horchata.

Never had Cemitas before so we were eager to try something different. I had a Carnitas Cemita and my boyfriend had a Milanesa de Res Cemita. Good bread, plenty of meat, a delicious chipotle sauce and avocado! Now, it's easily our favorite sandwich place in Beaverton! The last reviewer was right about the location changing. This truck is now located on SW Broadway, across the street from Natural Grocer. read more

I dine here every weekend, as I park in the lot across the street and get my Natural Grocers shopping done the same day. I grew up on Bay Area taco trucks, and La Poblana is AWESOME!! I'm the "gimme the usual" kind of gal. I always get the Pork tacos with verde. Prices are too low, so it's find to order extra to take home for a meal later! read more

Hit the place up. Semi clean. Ordering was easy. Only down side is they need a bigger better sitting area for costumers that want to eat there. Cemitas where great, ask for extra chipotle if you like the fiery sensation. Will be back soon... read more
