Must order: Milanesa cemita with papalo, quesillo and cauliflower escabeche.
Tip: It sits inside Mercado El Carmen rather than on the street, so walk into the market hall and follow the queue.
Address: Avenida 21 Oriente 205, El Carmen, 72530 Puebla
Cemitas La Colonial sells its cemitas at about 34 pesos on 2 Poniente in Puebla, the cheap Centro fallback for when market queues get too long.
Order: A cemita at about 34 pesos, the cheapest in the Centro.
Tip: Prices here are roughly half what the market counters charge, which is the trade-off for a smaller build.
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.
Mi Puebla Antigua Tacos y Cemitas keeps a small Analco dining room in Puebla, building cemitas to order in three sizes for well under a hundred pesos.
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.
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.
Tip: The cemita poblana here is genuinely large, so order one between two before adding the chalupas.
Antojitos Acapulco is a narrow 5 Poniente counter in Puebla frying molotes and pelonas, plus tacos de canasta, from mid-morning until eleven at night.
Order: Molotes filled with tinga, plus a pelona for around 30 pesos.
Tip: It is a narrow hole-in-the-wall on 5 Poniente with a handful of stools, so expect to eat standing at busy hours.
