The Boston Globe - More layers to love
By Rachel Travers / January 13, 2010
The cemita (pronounced seh-MEE-tah) is a Mexican sandwich, originally from Puebla, offered by street vendors there. Dorado Tacos & Cemitas in Brookline offers a version tucked inside a soft, eggy, sesame-seed roll similar to challah or brioche. Inside are layers of avocado, quesillo (string cheese), chipotles in adobo, black beans, cilantro, and either mushrooms, chorizo, steak, chicken, or pork ($5.99). In Puebla, cemitas are made using a pungent herb called papalo. According to chef and co-owner Doug Organ, “Even the Mexican locals think it’s distasteful, finding it akin to cilantro on steroids.’’ He loves the little sandwiches because of what he calls their “craveability.’’ See if you agree.

Extra props to this cute little spot for being earth-friendly, with biodegradable utensils and more.

Weeklydig.com - What's a cemita?
By Patrick Main
Down the street from Allston Village in Brookline is a new Mexican hotspot with a seemingly maniacal dedication to freshness and environmental sustainability. From the flooring made from post-consumer recycled materials, to the tables made from wood salvaged from the walk-in cooler that the previous tenants had, to the corn-based biodegradable cups, there's a serious effort here to minimize impact on the planet.
