    The place was clean and the young lady who helped me was friendly. She was attentive when I asked for the Torta Cubana. Then for a couple of more dollars, you could make it a combo, which I did. The chips are about the size of a regular size hand and the salsa is self serve with a couple of different choices. As for the Torta Cubana, its definitely more expensive now (like everything else is), but it's also definitely a whole lot smaller. It also came with a 20 oz soda bottle. Total price with taxes $18.53. I was picking up my order when I looked over and noticed a fly on the cutting board. The young lady that was preparing the food, just waved her hand. Didn't clean it or anything. I guess I was just lucky that the fly wasn't on there when my food was being prepared. They have several tables inside, all clean. Overall, it was ok.

    What the hell......I just had the best concha I've ever had in my life. Oh my gosh. What. I grew up in east side san Jose and pan dulce was a huge part of my identity. I used to go to so many different bakeries around town to try different pan dulce.... And never in my life have I ever had a concha like this. Wow.

    Love the service here ! Store is very clean! And the pan always smells so good! I had the Asada torta it was delicious! I will say the rice pint is a bit high but when I'm in the mood it's worth it! Consistency is always there I haven't had a bad torta from here! And the aguas fracas are so good too would recommend made fresh daily.

    Great for a chain restaurant. Always fresh and friendly staff. Limited selection of break but you have your basics like bolillo and conchas, puerquitos etc. Great place for a quick bite. Parking can be a bit of a drag but at least super accessible. Clean and basic eating area.

    Wow... fui me encanto. Limpio todo limpio... gracias x tenet panito caliente!!! Q torta mas rica de carne asada q pedi!!! Gracias todo estaba delicious !!! Hasta pasteles tenon todo me encanto!!!

    Yanci fue muy amable y el pan de aquí siempre sale bien bueno. Pan dulce / panadería: conchas, bolillos, pan recién horneado. Ideal para desayuno o para llevar.

    The food here is good quality and very yummy . The workers here are super nice and friendly also making me laugh . I recommend the Aguas Frescas they have many flavors to choose from . This is the location I go to 11420 Laurel Canyon Blvd Los Angeles, CA 91340 United States. Carla one of the workers is always there helping me out .

    Torta Cubana

    Ordered the torta cubana and it was amazing! The bread was fresh and the meat was tender. Had tons of flavor. Service was great and restaurant/bakery was very clean. Was recommended by my mom as my dad would take her there. I will definitely be stopping by when passing through town again!

    we needed bolillo so we made a stop here. The bolillo is always warm and tasty. we got there and they said the new batch will be coming out in about 7 minutes (we were not in any rush so we waited) in the mean time we chose some pan dulce they have quite a variety. we got some aguas frescas, very fresh and delicious (they have quite the variety too). Workers were nice. This should be your spot for pan in the san fernando valley.

Everything came out fresh and packed with flavor. The tacos were loaded with perfectly seasoned meat, topped with fresh onions and cilantro, and paired with some seriously good salsas. The grilled veggies and sides were just as good, and even the beans were on point. You can tell they care about quality in every bite. We also grabbed some drinks and everything complemented the meal perfectly. Portions were solid, prices felt fair, and the overall vibe was just great. Honestly one of the best Mexican food experiences I've had in a while. Definitely coming back and bringing more people with me next time.

The inside is small, enough for a few small parties-with a cute little patio outside. I wanted something more unique than everyone else's tacos. They serve theirs with pickled onions, which adds a lovely freshness to it. I had an asada vampiro...there is a lovely,almost Smokey flavor to the meat. And no gristle! I also had the chicken chulada...it was unique! The chicken was salsa good, not fatty, which is imperative for me! I also got rice and beans on the side, my husband said the beans were just like his grandmas! I'll be back for sure!

Still hungry. Salsa bar decent Ordered 3 Red Tacos w Consommé to go. Meat portions are stingy for the price $17.45 = $5.80 each. Total rip off . Niche meat very small portion. I complained about the small portion and they say they use a scoop and all the scoops are the same size, but they must not pack it down because it's probably full of air because the birria meat had more meat, not substantially because it was still very unfilled empty taco shells, probably cause it's cheaper. Consume was watery bland, and zero flavor why bother. This place had such good reviews, but in my opinion, it's not even worth it for the same price I paid and the food I got I would've been more satisfied with a lot more better tasting food at something like a tacō běll. I complained about meat portion not worth price. They refused to adjust portion. Told them I'm going to give harsh review about tell the truth about their high prices and small portions and post pics so people can see what a rip off they are. They ignored me. Place is small clean and filled with only single guys on their blue-collar job lunch hour. They must've been hungry and didn't care about paying up for lousy bland food. Food is overrated, very bland and small portions for the high prices. Will not ever come back. Disappointed must be a lot of fake reviews or people who don't value taste or value for money.

Small place and only serving a very select few menu items during the week. Weekends is when there are more options / full menu. I got 2 pork tamales, 1 chicharron taco and 1 carnitas taco con todo. The carnitas by themself are decently cooked. The taco is served in a handmade tortilla that is super thick and dense. Im a fan of these style tortillas being a little more softer than this was. The taste of the masa is on point and great. The salsa that they equip in the taco is hot. Like almost habanero hot. Its almost unpleasant / inedible. The chicharron is just the skin and its smashed up into the salsa and pico de gallo that come with the tacos. Not much going on here and nothing great. Pork tamale was average. The size is on the smaller side or almost average. Carne to masa ratio is good. Masa taste is great. The meat and sauce is umami and deep but still your average flavors for red pork tamales.
