I love their premade burritos, love the Chicharron, Carnitas in Salsa Verde, Machaca and Huevos the BEST. Love the Pan as well. Even though I live in Thousand Oaks, I love their food. I ordered 20 burritos to take home since I don't have the opportunity to come as often I would like. Eddie and the staff were very helpful, enjoyed our talk how they have been in this location for many years, I highly recommend this place, once you go you will be back. read more

This place is a total hole in the wall. Nothing fancy, parking is horrible. Aside from all that they have the best breakfast burritos ! Each burrito is $2.75, wow the taste and spice are perfect. The open at 730 am, the carnitas en salsa verde is my favorite. You'll thank me later .. read more

Carniceria Uruapan has authentic traditional Masa for Tamales. Mara helped us out. She made bags with different wights for the different tamales that we will be making. The masa is ready to go or make fluffier with a mixer. They have sweet masa and everything needed for the stuffing. We have been going there for over 15 years. It is worth the small drive to get excellent masa for tamales. We make traditional filling but will try new recopies this year. We are making Chorizo and cheese and Mole tamales this year. They have ready to eat burritos, meats and delicious Pan Dulce. Uruapan is worth the drive. read more

I love this spot!! They're burritos in the morning are the best to bad the lady that makes them in the back never cracks a smile, a little off putting and I don't feel welcome but that won't stop me from enjoying these chicharon burritos!! read more

This place has been here forever and their experienced staff shows it. I was greeted and asked what I wanted. I wanted some decadent Chicharrón with bits of meat. Not the most healthy thing to crave but worth the extra exercise to have that Smokey, fatty pork skin crunch in your mouth. Try some! read more

I will not argue this, the food is good, the bread is good, a-bit pricey but service wise they need better honest people working there. I am not one that complains, I understand it gets busy. But a few days ago I went early morning, bought some tamales I asked for 8 red and 2 cheese tamales. I clearly saw the monitor and have my receipt, the lady charged me for 10 tamales. I was so disappointed when I got home, she only gave 8 tamales. That to me is clearly stealing from the customer. And this is not the first time she does this to me. (It is one of the younger cashiers--- to me it felt like she did it on purpose. About a few years ago it happened and with the same cashier. At that time i went back and complaint and stopped going for a long time. This time I will not go back anymore. You lost a good customer I always spend a good amount of money when I buy there. Just some advice always check your receipt and don't let them steal from us, the hardworking customers. It is not honest. read more

Great for masa for tamales, prepared corn for pozole and all the other ingredients. They make great little breakfast burritos ( 6 different kinds) I tried the chicharrones burrito great green chili taste and also the egg and bacon. read more

The Chicharron Burritos are Soo Delicious n picosos! To bad the they sell out so fast! Their pan dulce is very good too. The parking sucks. People are friendly. read more

Heard about this place from the LA Times Dec. 2016 article about the tamales. Got a couple of red pork and ate them outside, since there are no tables. The masa was very nice and light. There was just a little sauce and nice pieces of pork, with just enough spice to be interesting. Ended up buying some more to take home and at $1.50 definitely affordable. read more

As I finished off my taco lunch at a newish restaurant called Guisados with my friend's dining group Pleasure Palate, the owner of Guisados drops off a tray of fresh baked Pan Dulce for us to nibble on. I could not believe what I saw right in front of me. I was a little skeptic, because the Pan Dulces that I normally eat are from the local Latino grocery chains like Vallarta. The large grocery chains have breads that super dry and dense like stale bread. A few bakeries that I've gone to in Santa Ana and in the San Fernando Valley are a little fresher and much larger in portion, but it still lacks a little flavor. As the tray of the Pan Dulce was passed around our table, questions tossed around in my head..."Do I want it? Or should I pass on it, because I ate too many tacos?" Oh dear, I really didn't have the appetite to eat one more bite, but I grabbed a piece instead. "I'll find room in my stomach," I said to myself. I took a large bite into the Pan Dulce. Oh, it was wonderful! It is not like the stuff that I'm familiar with from the grocery chains. It was light, fluffy, and has the texture of Hawaiian bread. This Pan Dulce is remarkably tasty and fresh. According to the owner of Guisados, his brother owns Carnitas Uruapan Market, which is directly next door to Guisados. I've literally drove passed Carnitas Uruapan Market many times on my way to chase down a taco truck or two before Guisados ever opened in Boyle Heights. Carnitas Uruapan Market is actually a meat market, Panaderia (bakery). Coincidentally, they also mass produce and sell the masa for those infatuated with making their own tamales and tortillas at home. The also sell to a few local restaurants including Guisados, which is no surprise. Well, a few dining buddies and I headed next door to Carnitas Uruapan Market after our luncheon at Guisados. I purchased 7 pieces of Pan Dulce. Surprisingly, it only cost me less thant $2. The organizer of Pleasure Palate indulged on her purchase, a 2 pound hunk of chicharone to bring home to her family. I looked around the market and found prices for fresh cut meat very reasonably priced. Just by looking at the meats in the case, I can tell that the quality is pretty good and they butcher their own meats. Now that I know about Carnitas Uruapan Market, I'll be back for more Pan Dulce. read more

My family has been buying the masa for our tamales her since I can remember. It is worth the drive from the SF valley.

I love this place! Their pan dulce is always fresh and tastes great. They have these pre made small burritos that are really good. My favorite is the barbacoa. The tamales have good flavor but the masa is kind of grainy. They have a good champurado. Ive tried other places but prefer theirs. So I thought I didn't like oatmeal!! Today I had their Avena and it was so so good that I absolutely remembered it! read more

I took my mom for masa for tamales both sweet and savory masa and it was disgusting. The sweet masa for tamales de dulce were bitter and had way too much royal. The other masa was overly salted and also had a bitter after taste. Never again. read more

This place makes fresh MASA for tortillas or tamales. The MASA for tamales is amazing they come out so good and fluffy. Around the holidays they do get pretty packed but they keep the line moving quick. I've never gotten any meat here but I have gotten baked bread and it's always so fresh and delicious. read more

Best pan dulce in all LA. I know nothing else about this place. I went in for desert after getting tacos next door. They had just put out some fresh conchas and I have to say again. Best pan dulce in LA. Maybe best in California. Don't know yet. Will be looking for excuses to go here again. read more

After stuffing our faces on a mini food tour when my sister was in town, we walked out of Guisados agreeing to "walk off" our day of gorging. We walked a few steps and were instantly enticed by the smell of pan dulce next door. We wandered into the tiny bakery/market and stared at all the baked goodies. The guy from Guisados was there and when he saw us he reappeared with a freshly baked pan dulce. The only pan dulce I've tried has been dry and stale so maybe my bar is low, but this was delicious. My sister ended up buying a bag full of various breads. It seems we looked at everything with such wide eyes they must have decided we were starving children. Shortly after eating the pan dulce, one of the bakers reappeared and gave us all huge slices of cake topped with fresh strawberries. We wrapped the rest of the cake for later but somehow my friend managed to finish his. So much for walking off our huge meal! On our way back to the car, my friend said he felt like we were adopted and my sister said "You have to yelp about this place!" read more

This is the best place in Los Angeles County to get your masa for tortillas and tamales. It is so fresh and authentic with the perfect grind of corn. I hope they also sell nixtamal for my pozole.

I too have eaten at Guisados and indulged in a pan dulce from it's lucky neighbor. All of the pan dulce is delicious and freshly made. The mini cookies are great if you want to try to be good and only have a bite instead of a whole size. What I truly come here for is their birote which comes out fresh, soft and warm everyday at 8 am..I get it for my sandwiches and my menudo...yummy! They have this incredible queso fresco that is so soft and delicious that you can spread it onto the bread like you do cream cheese. Absolutely delicious. I live in the area and I am very excited to see that I can get fresh and good quality foods in my neighborhood...no matter how tough and sketchy the place seems to the outside world..."no credit cards"..debit and cash only.. read more

Loved it! Absolutely amazing place that we stumbled across after our lunch at Guisados! The apple pastreis and other baked goods were beyond wonderful! This is a must visit while in LA. read more
