Cemita de milanesa
Milanes Cemita

La China Poblana

3568 Whittier Boulevard, Los Angeles, CA 90023

(323) 263-8310

La China Poblana located in the traditional streets of East LA or like many know it EASTLOS! On the corner of Whittier Blvd. & Esperanza st. this joint is only a 5 minute drive from Downtown (with no traffic) This place is always a different experience, whether there is a mariachi duo trying to cop a buck by playing some tunes, or a single man doing his thing acapella, or a plain quiet evening. It's always something different but always the same great food! Whether you are getting the popular cemita de milanesa or a more daring cemita de pata(pickled pig feet) you can't go wrong. Although these may look like your traditional tortas, they are more than that. These are a traditional "sandwich" served in the artistic city of Puebla, Mexico.

They are called cemitas because of the sesame seeds that are on top

of the bread adding to its unique taste. So here is the break down,

 cemitas consist of the bread, your choice of meat,

The menu on the traditional "talavera"

(check out the picture of the plate) queso fresco, avocado, and either jalapenos or the traditional chipotle chilies that most people

prefer. It may seem like something simple, but believe me that this is full of flavor that you will be craving it till you get your next cemita fix! If you like avocado feel free to order extra avocado,they don't kid around when they say extra. If you don't want to get your hands dirty you might want to take some baby wipes because these bad boys can get messy and will get messy if not handled correctly. When you are looking for a big meal for not much cash this might be the place for you since they have such affordable prices.

ONLY $16 FOR ALL OF THIS!!

This place isn't the best at organization so make sure you keep your ear out for your food and for some reason people there seem to take they're problems to work, because they can either be super nice and helpful or just make you want to leave! Remember though, you are there for the food don't let it ruin your meal if it is that you catch the cashier on a bad day. For the most part its always a pleasant experience. Let me know how it goes and remember eating makes people happy!!!

PROS: Good food, good prices

CONS: Disorganized at times, staff can suck at times, out door seating only

Sabores De Oaxaca

This spot hides in the traffic on the corners of Venice blvd. & La Cienega blvd. This location easily gets lost in this busy intersection.

Open from 8AM-12AM they offer breakfast,lunch and dinner with prices rangeing from $5-$12 and hungry man size plates, you can't go wrong with this place. When looking to get a good burrito to tame your hunger for the whole day you cant go wrong with their jumbo size burrito which you can personalize to your own taste. From having it soaked in either, red chilly sauce, green chilly sauce, mole negro(my favorite!), mole rojo or just a plain burrito, this simple dish can take whatever shape you want!

Sabores de Oaxaca

This is a small restaurant, very humble staff, polite and very easy going. Don't worry about waiting to get seated, go in let them know you're gonna have a seat and they will be with you promptly. This spot is almost always empty and perfect to have a quiet lunch in and outdoor setting with the indoor feel. For those not familiar with real mexican food go ahead and give this joint a shot! Let me know how it goes and remember eating makes people happy!!!

Pros:Good food, Good People

Cons: Don't expect a waiter with 20 years of experience,  this is a mom&pop shop.
