Must order: A cemita at about 34 pesos, the cheapest in the Centro.

Address: Avenida 2 Poniente, Centro histórico de Puebla, 72090 Puebla
Antojitos Las Gueras works the comal on 5 Norte in Puebla, turning out chalupas in red and green salsa for a mostly local lunchtime crowd every day.
Order: Chalupas, red and green, straight off the comal on 5 Norte.
Tip: Chalupas are fried to order here rather than held warm, so give the counter a few minutes at busy times.
Comal looks straight at Puebla cathedral from 16 de Septiembre, cooking blue-corn chilaquiles, chanclas, pelonas and mole poblano from breakfast to midnight.
Order: Enchiladas de tres moles: pipián verde, pipián rojo and mole poblano.
Tip: Breakfast starts at eight and the kitchen runs to midnight, which makes Comal the one Centro address that covers both ends of a day.
Antojitos Tomy on 5 Poniente is where Puebla eats cemita poblana, chanclas and chalupas at one counter, from nine in the morning until nine at night.
Order: Cemita poblana, chanclas and chalupas ordered as one round.

Order: A cemita, sized small, medium or large from 33 pesos up.
Tip: Closed Mondays and shut by 18:30, and the Analco location keeps it well outside the Centro tourist run.

Tip: Barrio de los Remedios is a taxi ride from the Zocalo, which is exactly why the queue is local rather than visiting.
