“ Best bakery in Compton highly recommended to everyone . I’ve been coming here for over 40 years ”
“ Best pan dulce In the CPT. Pineapple enpanadas are my favorite but you can't go wrong there anything you pick is good, soft fresh all the time. Although I feel like they pretty much over charge you when they want. I go there a lot and always get the same thing for my wife and I yet every time i pay a different amount. ”
“ just moved to the neighborhood around this place and went out hunting for some bread to have for breakfast; this place was within walking distance so i headed over immediately and was NOT disappointed!! got a spinach and cheese pastry that was so delicious i finished it in 2 bites!! lady helping me was very friendly, todo es delicioso y servicio es muy amable ”
“ Ordered a concha and Guayaba empanadas. Unlike the dry and hard empanadas I’ve had at other bakeries, these guava empanadas were amazing and not overcooked…they were so flavorful and soft, the concha was light, soft and fluffy, both clearly baked fresh today. Delicious!! A tiny and modest bakery, the women working the front staff were very friendly. I visited on a Tuesday morning around 9am and there was a line but it moved quickly. They have a parking lot on the side of the building. Would highly recommend this bakery, especially for their guava empanadas! 2 for $2.50. ”
