Where to buy some Cemitas Poblano rolls?

[Burger Boy]

Anybody have a resource close to Culver City for these great crust sesame seed covered rolls/buns? Show me some love! Want to try and make some muffalettas on them.

[MedRare]

There is a bakery called la Antequera at 1704 Ocean Park Blvd in Santa Monica.

[Burger Boy]

They have the Cemitas Rolls?

[Jerome]

Isn't there a panaderia mexicana on ocean park blvd near 17th st?

[Burger Boy]

not sure.

Have you checked the Guadalajara Bakery on Inglewood Ave. just barely south of Culver Blvd. on the east side of the street?

i will check, have you seen these buns there?

[Servorg]

No, but I wasn't looking for them either.

They dont have them at Guadalajara.. The place does not do much volume. When you see things in plastic bags I get nervous. I have stopped by on two occasions in the morning and not much love on my side. As to the cemintas

Not very close to Culver City, but I have bought them at El Super on York Blvd. & Ave. 56 in Highland Park. The in-store bakery makes them.

[Burger Boy]

Nice, I might be going in that direction later today. Thank you! Would still love to hear about any other places.

The panaderia next to the El Super in North Hollywood has oodles of them.

All I can suggest is to try the usual suspects, skip cemita rolls and try Italian bakery/deli places but the only one that I've had locally is on the muffaletta at The Gumbo Pot and they haven't shared their source!

Oh I have the usual suspects and I have used Bay Cities, Frisco, made my own even. I just want to try them on a Cemta Roll, just for fun!

[sel]

Got it! I like the fresh baked in store telera rolls and the round ones both white and whole wheat although at this late hour I don't remember what they are called, at Vallarta Market, all locations. 25 cents each!

Are these Cemitas rolls, hard crust with sesame seeds? TY

[sel]

No on all counts , used for Mexican tortas they frequently work for other sandwiches when I can't find the authentic item.

[Burger Boy]

I want to hold out for the authentic ones. I want the sesame seeds, as I recall the ones from Central Grocery had sesame seeds. I will need to double check on this.

[Burger Boy]

Just checked and the ones at Central Grocery have sesame seeds.

[sel]

The roll at Central Grocery is a wonderful sesame seeded Italian roll and so is the roll at it's nearby competitor Progress Grocery which I used to prefer. I haven't been able to find anything similar at any L.A. bakery. Hope you find the cemita roll and that it works for you! Any good Mexican bakery should work.

Sarno's used to make it, they closed 10 years ago. I just am playing, not worried about authentic at this point but if you want seeded Italian go to Frisco Bakery on Ave. 26th & San Fernando Rd. They have good bread. The rolls from Bay City are great also, not authentic but make a great sandwich.
