Description

This family-run Mexican bakery and restaurant in Sanger, CA is beloved for fresh bolillos, conchas, cookies and standout dishes like menudo, chile verde and carne asada. Regulars praise consistent, friendly service and great value, while long-term loyalty speaks to its strengths. Criticisms include occasional uneven execution (notably an inauthentic torta), sporadic checkout service, higher prices for small portions, and limited or pothole-prone parking. Atmosphere is casual and homey but can vary by visit.

We didn't have any Mexican food. We were shopping at the bakery for the first time and were not disappointed. The pastries are wonderful and very reasonable. The staff as well as a customer was friendly and helpful telling us how to choose the pastries. This will be a regular stop for we new Sangerites. Service: Take out Meal type: Other

The best food for miles. The chef is very sweet and talented. The tamales are incredible, even a quesadilla here is life changing. The beans are also very very good. Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

This is a great place for fresh bread! The freshest, softest, everyday sweet mexican bread, pastries and donughts. Try the jalapeno cheese bolillo. Its incredible! We were there on a Saturday morning. The young girl at the cash register is not friendly. Her demeanor is as you are bothering her? Go home people are happy to be at this happy place.
