Cemitas Puebla Y Taqueria

A quick bite in Union City’s 24th Street corridor delivers the flavors of Puebla. Cemitas Puebla Y Taqueria keeps the cemita sandwich alive in New Jersey, along with tacos and coffee that draw locals around the clock. Afternoon crowds often line up for mild salsa on the side; by dusk, the dinner crowd takes over. Beer flows along with queso fundido; a short order of fruit rounds out the plate if you need something lighter. Solo diners slide onto stools near the register—no reservations, just speed. Across from the 24-hour laundromat at 520 24th St, the front door opens onto Union City’s main drag. Cemitas Puebla Y Taqueria is the kind of spot where you call ahead, grab a seat, and still finish before the next customer arrives. Find your way with the map; once you’re there, call (201) 766-9090 from the curb if you want to nudge the kitchen. Late-night hunger never waits long in this neighborhood.
