El Chicanito Bakery - Elgin

Found small pieces of metal in my chocoflan, I originally bought it Friday and ate it today. Now my mouth hurts. Never come back.

El Chicanito has an authentic Mexican bread and food. People working on this place are so nice and friendly. You can feel a good mood when you cross the main door. You have to try.

The food is delicious. I'm Mexican, so I think that says a lot. The service was also great. They recommended us what to get. The ambience is completely clean. Definitely recommend 10/10!

Was in Elgin and I wanted to get conchas and sweet Mexican bread. So I saw this place and stopped by and took a tray and pliers. I wanted to grab a bread and it was hard like a rock. So where four more pieces and they're all hard. I continued and went to grab Concha's and they are a few days old you can feel it in the tension of bread. I was disappointed, and I just left the tray and the pliers and went out.

First time trying this bakery, is one of the few places I was told that sells atole de nuez, I've been looking for authentic atole, the taste was there and it was good. I had their tamales, verdes and of rajas, torta and bread. I will definitely be going back, I loved the torta de jamon even tho it was a bit salty but their tamales de raja were soooo good. I can't really eat spicy due to health issues and these were not spicy. The bread was really good too. Thank you for the service. Ps. Online it said the bakery opens at 5am, I went on Sunday and I waited one hr, they opened until 6am, definitely worth the wait since I traveled from Chicago.
