Menu of Cemitas y Tlayudas Pal Cabron
UPDATE: Pal Cabron closed in the summer of 2011.
Bringing to Koreatown more than just typical Mexican street food, Cemitas y Tlayudas Pal Cabron showcases two of the staples of southern Mexican food.
TLAYUDAS are large handmade crispy tortillas imported from Oaxaca that are topped with pork confit, black beans, cabbage, cheese and various regional meats.
CEMITAS have been called the king of Mexican sandwiches, and in the words of Pulitzer-winning food critic Jonathan Gold, “A cemita is not a sandwich that you dive into headfirst; it is a sandwich you have to sneak up on, nibbling around the edges, softening the natural defenses of the thing before you dare to attack its sweet, greasy heart.”
LAS CEMITAS
All of the Cemitas have avocado, Mexican cheese, onions, chipotle or jalapeño, and pápalo (summer cilantro). There is an option to include quesillo (iconic Oaxacan string cheese) for an extra two dollars.
