Situated in the Mercado Municipal La Acocota, Semitas "Beto" has become one Puebla's go-to cemita spots. Don't expect a litany of choices here, though, as the menu is concise, but do expect to leave feeling satisfied. Their lightly crisped white bread with sesame seeds is halved and hollowed out to make room for generous fillings like pork milanesa with shredded quesillo, freshly sliced ripe avocado, pápalo, and your choice of chile. These are hearty portions, and you won't leave hungry. Chase it with a soda and pull up a chair lining the stall for a classically casual experience.

Divided by the hot and cold seafood bars, this lively spot is always buzzing, due in part to the well-prepared cocktails.

Another hit? Camarones a los tres chiles, with grilled shrimp bathed in three chile sauces,

Served with chimichurri and excellent house pickles, cemitas are hearty and stacked to the sky with the likes of avocado, stringy Oaxacan cheese and seasoned pork. Further in, find a patio and bar that comes alive in the evening.

It is not every day in Puebla that one finds Chinese buns filled with pork belly and glazed in salsa matcha and hoisin or golden, tempura-fried huauzontle served with sweet potato puree. Since 2014, Chef Fernando Hernández has been cooking with global, often Asian, inspiration that is far different from the typical cuisine of the region. Dishes are as delicious as they are pretty. The grilled pork jowl with lentils, which is almost too good to share with anyone else at the table, is especially memorable. While the bar downstairs shakes up wonderful cocktails, the upstairs dining room is airy,

Set in a vintage house in Puebla’s Barrio de Santiago neighborhood, this little restaurant has lofty ambitions. There are only a handful of tables, resulting in an experience that is intimate and carefully choreographed. Chef Chriss Marin is the mind behind this experience, which acknowledges regional ingredients and traditions like pita bread, peanuts, mole and tamales and prepares them in creative, imaginative ways. The generous Mexican tasting menu is fast-paced and delivers inspired cooking that may start with a series of bold snacks like goat brain taco or rabbit barbacoa. An ambitious co

Everything you need to know about this restaurant is in the name. Boasting one of the largest mezcal collections in the region, this bright salon puts its bottles front and center at the bar and offers a multitude of flights and finely mixed cocktails.
