Best WLM Reviews
My fiancé Katherine—whose family is from Mexico and Texas—has been lamenting for 23 years in Illinois about the so called “Mexican” food available.
She grew up with great cabeza / barbacoa and also fell in love with great Tex/Mex inspired cuisine.
Today, I did specific Google searches to hopefully find Mexican food that Katherine had yet to try and compare to what she grew up with.
After assessing my search results and comparing reviews and by whom, I decided Cemitas Poblanas Con Sabor Latina was the place to stop.
When I arrived, I saw an eclectic yellow and red little building in a nice peaceful residential neighborhood. A nice change from a fast food Mexican restaurant in a typical busy, retail business district.
I was excited to see they actually had Cabeza and so I ordered two Cabeza tacos, one Pastor, one Pollo, and one Asada.
I brought them home.
Katherine said the Cabeza was the best she ever had outside of Texas! I thought the Cabeza was excellent. The Cabeza was moist and flavorful and offered in partly shredded, mini brisket-like chunks.
The Pollo taco stood out. The chicken was not the usual cliche shredded chicken but moist, smaller pieces that were juicy and seemed to be sautéed in a mild red marinade—be it pepper and or tomato based.
The Asada was vey good, and probably some of the best around in Chicagoland. But hands down, get the Cabeza first!
I did not receive the Pastor taco in my bag because I think there was a misunderstanding when we were discussing all the tacos I was ordering. So I look forward to trying the Pastor when I take Katherine to Cemitas Poblanas in person.
The couple who ran this restaurant were welcoming, kind, and were so efficient in making the tacos.
So far, a 4.4 out of 5.
Thank you for your hard work and delicious food.

This time, I brought Katherine and we dined at the restaurant. Review to come.
Moved to Chicago from LA had been craving cemitas and I happened to see a video on tiktok of this spot. Got the cemita poblana and it was great. The milanesa tasted fresh and the salsas in the salsa bar are amazing just like my mom makes them ????. Service was great. They offer tortilla chips but they charge; they’re not complimentary lol. Definitely coming back.
The staff was friendly and food was delicious. However the building is super outdated, and very small. Only sits about 10 parties maximum. Menu has a lot to choose from, and they also have a mini salsa bar which you can pick salsas from.
Will come again.
Wow! Where do I begin?! I've been to every single taqueria in Aurora. I've had countless tacos de lengua! NONE come close to the lengua I ate from Cemitas today! I EVEN HAD TO CALL THEM AND COMPLIMENT THE FOOD! I'm blown the bleeeep away w/their tacos de lengua!!! Bravo!! Compliments to the chef! ???????????????????????????? ❤️The cherry on top...freshly made churros!!❤️❤️????????
Not very many veg options but the giant cactus quesadilla and giant mushroom quesadilla were both really good. Service was very fast and there’s even a salsa bar with a ton of options
Wow, talk about a wonderful find! Ordered the chips and guacamole- the guac was made to order, fresh fresh fresh and so good! I had the gigante quesadilla with half and half : flor de calabasa and nopales and mushrooms. Best quesadilla I ever had. No canned mushrooms here!! Only the best! Fresh sliced mushrooms. Nice big serving of a side of rice and frijoles. My partner had the burrito de carne asada. Nothing to disappoint, everything was fresh to order, delicious and filling. So happy I found this place, cute little place with attention to detail. Everything was excellent, thank you so much!!
The cemita arabes is so good. The chipotle sauce used is sweet and just perfect. This place is a whole in the wall gem. Dont let the bright yellow paint job keep u out. The horchatta has the perfect cinnamon/ sweetness.
I had a wonderful time dining in it's a hidden Jem
