One of my 101 south breakfast burrito go to places. They have a great selection of Mexican pastries that look great as well, although I have not tried them read more

Went in to purchase Mexican bread and saw several roaches around the cash register. Be on the lookout. Never will go again

Alma's Bakery is now called KB Cafe. Same address with a phone number of 831-679-1099. The bakery items are similar and quite tasty also attractively displayed. They don't advertise it with signage but they do make tortas (sandwiches) at the far end of the counter. We ordered carne asada and carnitas. The carne asada was very dry, the bread did not have a good taste and the ratio of meat to bread was disappointing. Fortunately, the carnitas was very flavorful, with a good ratio and the bread roll though the same in appearance was much fresher tasting. Hoping for the best with the new changes. read more

Very cute, small, looks family run, little bakery. Lots of baked goods options and really authentic breakfast burritos. Food was great, service was great- Matson back here in our drive back to Northern CA. read more

Pit stop off the 101 . Mexican food and Mexican bread and juices . The service was alright. It's a huge room . It's not a place you go to wine and dine. It's fast food in-n-out quick lunch or breakfast spot if your in a hurry or working out there in the fields . My Torta was read more

In my opinion, the tortas with carne asada was mediocre at best. The bread / roll was crunchy and delicious. The sauce, cheese and avocado were all good. Unfortunately, the meat was overcooked and tasted like leftovers...and the portion was minimal read more

Best chile verde burrito I've had in a long time. We had to order blind because their electronic menu was offline. Got the "super" burrito with avocado, sour cream and queso fresco. Great chile verde with just enough heat. Too full to order from the bakery but it all looked great. Definitely worth timing your lunch when traveling US 101. It's the last place before the northbound on ramp in Chualar and a little tricky to back out. read more

The best I've had in 40 years. Stop here on the way back to the Bay or on your way out. If this was near our house, we'd eat here too much. The Barbacoa beef and carnitas tacos were just like we used to get in East LA, in the 60's and 70's. The Pan Dulce was so fresh, flavorful and what I have been seeking for years. Come on people elsewhere than Alma's, in Chualar, do better. Can't wait to return to get the Chile Verde. Thank you Alma. People are so lucky that live near this lovely and friendly place. Friendliest staff, too. By the way, we did get the Chile Verde on the next trip. It was delicious and tasted like Chile verde should. read more

Excellent! The bread is made with recipes not mixes! The food is delicious and homemade. The service is fantastic. The prices are reasonable. We stop every time we travel thought the area. read more

Food was excellent and generous portions. We had mexican sandwiches and they were tasty! Will be back.

Great stop off of 101 for delicious baked goods- the cheesecake is divine! Girls behind the counter were friendly and helpful. They had some hot food options as well. read more

The food and bread are all right but service is not it on my way to work when working in Salinas my boss stops so we can get food for on our way and it's happened twice now with the same girl that works there I'm literally standing in line and she can clearly see me and still decides to call the person behind me this last time she called the 3 people behind me and when I kept on saying hello I'm next she ignored me even the guy behind me said she's next (me) and got mad very bad customer service from her part. read more

Great place to stop on a road trip. Delicious burritos, the beans were amazing and the carne asada was great as well. Employees were friendly. Prices were really good for what you get. Clean place with clean bathroom. Definitely recommend. read more

Amazing pastries and delicious food! My favorite is the carne asada tortas. I love coming here. It's worth the drive from Salinas.

The burritos are amazing!!! Definitely recommend if you want to try authentic Hispanic bread treats and lunches!!!

Amazing Asada Tacos! My first visit to almost I had 3 asada tacos. They were the best that I have had since the last time I was in Mexico. By far 5-star, triple AAA asada tacos! read more

It's a place where you can go and you don't leave hungry. After placing my order through the phone for myself and my employees I happily make my way to the bakery because I'm never disappointed. read more

This is my favorite place to stop when I'm driving from Oakland to Paso Robles. The pastries are fresh and delicious, the coffee is strong, the burritos are spicy and the perfect size to eat in the car. I often load up on sweets to take with me. My mom used to really love the tres leches cake! Also the bathroom is clean and it's an easy on-and-off to the 101. read more

Alma's Bakery-Deli - Carnitas burrito. Spicy and a perfect size to eat on the road! - Delis Near Me - Chualar, California

The food was excellent. We eat in but most of the business is takeout. All six people had great meals. Nice quite place.

The place itself is pretty worn out. The food at this restaurant is the worst. Their Tortas especially.

They are always the best love the staff and great fresh food for 15 years the burritos are so great the pastries are amazing

Absolutely amazing!!! driving down to LA from SF and this will be my new go to road trip stop. I had the best pastor burrito it was soooo good I genuinely was put in a better mood after eating it. The pastor was so delicious and flavorful and honestly was comparable if not even better than some of the pastor I had in Mexico (and i'm mexican!) Seriously want to bulk order them to take home and freeze. Such a cute place with great pan and pasteles too smelled amazing and taste so good! TONS of great drink options too and we even picked up some tortillas that smelled enchanting and im very excited to cook with them. My friend got a carnitas burrito that was excellent too! service was friendly and quick! Easy stop off the 101 and a clean bathroom as well! Highly recommend this place to all! read more

Have driven by this place a few times early in the morning and it has been absolutely packed. Finally I had to investigate for myself and see how it was. I must have caught a matter of time because the wait was very long and there was nobody in the building. Ordered two tacos with cheese they handed me my bag and I left and they give me to Tortas instead some people would see that as a bonus but I wanted my tacos. Place was very clean tres leches cake was very fresh and delicious I will give them another try in a month or two hopefully it will live up to the hype read more

I LOVE ALMAS!!! One of the best places ever for Chili Verde and I'm hooked on their breakfast burritos. Great friendly service as well!!

So I drive buy a couple of times a day on my commute, right off Highway 101 in Chular. There's one exit going each way, if you miss it, it's a long turn around. This place is busy from the time the doors open till the Sun goes down. Farmers, locals and travelers know this is a must start to there day. From simple coffee and teas to delicious breakfast burritos and pan( Mexican breads,pastry). For lunch and later feast on your choice of tacos, tortas, burritos and combinations of mixed plates. All that I've had has been fresh and tasty. The chili verde super burrito is especially good...perfectly spicy. So why the four and not five stars, living in an area of more taco shops, Mexican restaurants than any other specific food type, I can be picky. No beers a bummer but I get it, no hot sauces is a bummer that I don't get. Hey...almost forgot to say the service was helpful and polite, well they are. Last words...don't miss that exit! read more

It was a good option versus taking the kids to Mc Donalds. I was able to place the order over the phone on my way to appointments but I had to dial three times until they answered. When I got there, I told the cashier my name and she responded with an incorrect order. It looks like a lot of people stop on the go like I did, for sure next time calling 15 min ahead. I got a torta de carnitas and two plain asada tacos for my son. I wish the tortillas would have been homemade tortillas. Overall, the food was good. I liked how my torta was well assembled and my sons tacos were exactly how I asked. Just meat and tortilla and a side of lemon. Their cheesecake like desserts looked really nice & delish, maybe next time... read more

I come here for the Carnitas tacos. They have mastered the art of cooking Carnitas. The Carnitas have just the right amount of oil and the meat is tender with a little bit of crispy tips. To me that is the best way to serve Carnitas. And if you like it spicy make sure you ask them to add grilled jalapeños to the tacos. The jalapeños push the tacos over the top! read more

Very very satisfying chorizo burrito!! The chile was excellent and the size was just right. Perfect grab and go for breakfast and pan dulce.

Delicious tortas, amazing breads, wonderful service, great place to stop on a road trip on the 101!!!

as a bakery this is a five star establishment. incredible quality and selection, especially for a smaller town -- it would take work to find this stuff even in San Jose. but the other food was not good. tried a super burrito Al pastor: cold tortillas wrapped around pork scraps with pinto beans for filler. so it's two stars for non bakery, five stars for bakery equals four stars. read more

Great delicious and tasty. I went to grab some quick food as we are currently working nearby. Me and my coworkers were all satisfied completely. The prices are also very reasonable. read more

Great food! There is many breads to choose from and they have a lot of options for food as well the torta and the burritos are the go-to also the cheesecakes and gelatinas are delicious ! Really nice owner too! read more

Stopped in here for breakfast following a recommendation from a local. Excellent breakfast burritos, great taste, well made, an extremely well priced. One of my friends had one of their pastries which was amazing. Would highly recommend this hidden gem. read more

A good place to stop when traveling Hwy 101 ten minutes south of Salinas. They sell fresh juice with your choice of orange, carrot, celery, beets, etc. My favorite juice has all the ingredients. They make burritos, tacos and tortas as you order them. They also have pre-made Mexican pizzas, flan and sweet bread. They have a self serve coffee, chocolate and champurrado bar and a good selection of bottled, water, soft drinks, juices, and dairy products. However, if you stop here very early in the morning it will be busy with truck drivers and farm workers on their way to work. Bakery products are delicious but somewhat expensive. read more

Back again!!! Time for tacos and burritos. And of course....PAN ( mexican sweet bread ). Come check this place out, you WILL NOT be disappointed! Fair prices + great selection = WIN read more

There's not much in this little town, but even if there was, I would choose this place for another taco. It was your standard simple carnitas taco but it was very good, and all the flavors came together nicely! Also topped it off with a big chocolate covered strawberry which was awesome! If I'm ever back in that tiny little town, I will totally go back! read more

I often stop by at 6 AM and pick up 10 burritos for the folks at work. The food is always ready, delicious and the service is excellent. Besides the burritos, the torta are also great and their bakery selection is huge. The place is clean and friendly. You won't be sorry that you stopped by!! read more
