replying to u/armchairepicure: Right?! I was just thinking how their fried chicken burrito has gone sorely downhill in the last couple of years. And now the Times is raving?
“Last time I got the fried chicken cemita it had like two thin strips of chicken that weren’t even fried. Toppings just a thin layer.”

replying to u/donut_butt: I love Masa Madre, but between BLP and Cemitas el Tigre, it’s hard to choose where to eat on that street. This looks amazing though, I can’t wait to try it!

replying to u/Sheinks_Malone: I believe they got a write up recently but Cemitas el Tigre in Sunnyside is incredible. Down the block is Bolivian Llama Party which is also amazing. I live in Astoria, but I make it once a month to double dip the cemitas and saltenas. Weird block, great food.
“The fiied chciken in the burrito was awful. Mushy without taste.”

replying to u/stockscalper: btw if anyone has a recommendation for sandwiches from different regions like LatAm, Africa, Eastern Europe, Mediterrean, Asia (other than Viet banh mi's) -- let me hear it. I eat too many Italian subs because all the online reco's are 80% Italian like Defonte or Parisi
