San Juan Bakery - Chicago

This bakery went downhill. The ordered Empanada was terrible, the dough was very thick and tasty. The Quesito with Guay was very hard to chew and the dough was also hard. I bought a couple of pastellillos de guava for my girlfriend, they were also terrible. This is a Puerto Rican bakery. It is missing that Puerto Rican taste. Will never return. Time to find a real Puerto Rican bakery.

Did you go here to buy Pastellios de guayaba and they were terrible was a waste of time and drive their empanadillas de carne molina were disgusting? will no longer go terrible p.r. pastries if you could call them pastries I could have gone to Rosers and didn't waste my money?

Not impressed. Did not have many of Puperrican bakeries I expected and the prices were high. You

It has a few Latin countries’ goodies. I went for Puerto Rican goodies. Although I don’t recommend the sorullos because it’s extremely greasy, I enjoyed the mayorca (powder and guava with cheese). They were delicious. My friend liked the donuts. My son liked the pastellito de guava. I liked the quesito, but I didn’t love the tornillo. The bread was a bit on the heavier side, but it tastes great. At home, I used it for sandwiches, toasted with butter, and cheese whiz. Those disappeared because it was liked. And, I’ll buy it again when I visit Chicago.

Sad to say that the quality in their pastries has really gone down hill. I loved the mallorca bun, but in the past year noticed it doesn't taste good or fresh any more. My dad bought some pastelillos de guava, and they literally smelled and had the taste of vanish. We won't be going back.
