Cemitas El Tigre

Cemitas El Tigre Mexican Food, Craft Beer and Wine With a grand total of 10 layers between the buns, the cemita is sure to challenge even the biggest mouth.

The cemita, often called the Mexican Dagwood, originates from Puebla, Mexico, where street vendors layer mounds of fresh ingredients between a crusty sesame seeded bun. At Cemitas El Tigre, the sandwich is taken a few steps farther with your choice of meat along with all the fixings: avocado, Oaxaca cheese, pickled onions, papalo (a cilantro-like herb with notes of citrus and arugula), chipotle pu

ree, mayonnaise, black bean puree, lettuce and tomatoes. Cemitas El Tigre serves its signature 10-layer cemita sandwich along with tacos, burritos, craft beers, wine and milk shakes.

After 10 incredible years, Cemitas El Tigre will be closing its doors at the end of service on Friday, October 24.

From humble beginnings in Sunnyside, what started as a small dream turned into a decade of food, laughter, hard work, and community. We’re so proud of what we built together — and even prouder that the spirit of Cemitas El Tigre lives on at our sister restaurants,

To our team, past and present — thank you for your heart, your hustle, and for making this kitchen a family.

To our guests and neighbors — thank you for every visit, every kind word, every celebration you shared with us. You kept us going for ten unforgettable years.

And to the Sunnyside community — thank you for embracing us from day one. It’s been an honor to serve you and to be part of this neighborhood’s story.

A new restaurant will soon take our place, and we hope you’ll show them the same warmth and support you’ve shown us.

With endless gratitude —
The Cemitas El Tigre Family
