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
