Must order: A semita with the flaky crumb that earned the Bib Gourmand.
Tip: Barrio de la Luz is north of the Centro and the counter shuts at five, so go before the afternoon runs out.
Address: Calle 16 Norte 401, Barrio de la Luz, 72377 Puebla
Super Cemitas El As de Oros works a stall inside the Mercado de Sabores in Puebla, stacking milanesa super cemitas that comfortably feed two people.
Order: A milanesa super cemita, around 100 pesos and built for two.
Tip: Open Saturday and Sunday plus Monday and Tuesday only, so check the day before you cross town to the Mercado de Sabores.
Cemitas Las Poblanitas builds its cemitas inside the Mercado El Carmen hall in Puebla, papalo, quesillo and cauliflower escabeche on sesame-crusted bread.
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.
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.
