Yum! I always get the torta with beans, chile and queso. It's not cream cheese, they put queso cotija. I don't why people are so confused about the cheese.. either way it's always delicious. The ladies working the front are super nice, I feel like I'm at my grandmas or aunts house. read more

Small place but everything is fresh made daily, i recommend this place the ladies here are nice and service is great too

Listen this is the best bakery around the local area their flaky buttery croissants, Bollio fluffy and warm, the tamales: the beef are the best. This review though is for the tortas. When you read the description for their frijoles con queso (beans with cheese) you're expecting for the torta to have your regular lactic acid cheeses like Monterey Jack, Mozzarella or Cheddar cheeses. What you actually get is cream cheese, not regular cheese. read more

El Pollito Bakery - a display case full of donuts - Bakeries Near Me - Bell Gardens, California

This place is amazing! Me and my kids wake up on most days craving champurrado, sweetbreads and of course the Puerco torta and pan de frijole con queso! The Women who greet you are truly O.G... I always feel a sense of home tradition I'm also very professional energy. Usually early is best but you'll always find a line outside the door but the way is never long! Absolutely worth it! 100% read more

I have been going here since I was born. Although I dont live in the area, anytime I can make it down here or pass by it, i try to stop and grab a bag of bread. It smells great the second you walk in and the people working are extremely nice and helpful. Generally they are spanish speakers, but the younger ones usually speak English so dont be afraid. Still haven't found other sweet bread as good as the ones they make here. read more

I've been going here for as long as I can remember. They have almost any pan dulce you could possibly crave and they are all prepared wonderfully. Their bolillo is to die for, especially when freshly out the oven and still warm to the touch. They have tortas in the mornings- but be quick! By 3 pm they're all gone. Never had better bread anywhere else, I'll be going to this panaderia for many more years to come ! read more

I've gone here a few times. My boyfriend introduced me to their pan dulce. Honestly it's pretty good. I love the sprinkled cookie and elote. Oh and their tres leches cakes are soooo good. Definitely recommend their tres leches cakes. I had one made for my baby shower and they did such an amazing job. My guest were amazed by the design and flavor. I've also tried their tortas and it's soo good. I can't really complain about this bakery. I would recommend to friends and family. read more

El Pollito Bakery - Bakeries Near Me - Bell Gardens, California

I've said it before and I'll say it again. This is the place to get your bread if your in the bell gardens area, and even if your not.

Highly recommend this little place. Friendly people, they have good tortas and chicharrónes. Yummy.

We would always pass by this place and always wondered how the sweet bread was, so for the past year or so we have been coming here for the sweet bread and it hasn't changed a bit, the enpanadas de cajeta and the calabaza are great approved by my 3 year old son and the bolillos are also great. The pastel the trees leches is also good and the home made tortas de huevo con frijoles is a good filler when you're on the go, oh and the tamales are some of the best in town. read more

This is the best Mexican Bakery in L.A. county! They open at 4;30 in the morning. The place is packed as people stop by on their way to work to load up on the great Mexican sweet bread, delicious tamales and champurado. The service is great and everyone is friendly. This is an institution. I'm lucky I live nearby! Gotto go. I just made myself hungry.......... read more

El Pollito Bakery - Found a hair on my rosca! Very disgusting! - Bakeries Near Me - Bell Gardens, California

Sadly to say I have to give these people 1 star! I was going to this place for 10 years, I don't know if they changed their recipe or it's there bakers. But the bread gets hard a few hours after you buy it. The tamales our terrible! And I saw a fly where the bread is saved. Health department needs to show up and inspect their bakery. I'm disappointed in how they our handling their bakery ! They lost one faithful client. I will never go there agin. I recommend no one go to El Pollito Bakery! read more

Bread was hard as a rock! Got a few pieces for the guys at work and when I get to work and sit down to eat, the pan dulce tasted like it was 5 days old! Never going to this place again!! I would advise you to stay away if you like fresh pan dulce. read more

Best place for pan dulce. Been coming here for years and the bread always tastes the same. Its very authentic and not expensive. The best time to come is early because its fresh and there is parking on the street. Its really small so you might miss it if your driving fast on the street and are not familiar with the area. read more

This was my first time walking into this bakery, I bought 3 breakfast tortas that had scrambled eggs with ham, beans and Pork rinds with red sauce and it was Delicious! I also bought 3 tamales and 3 freshly squeezed orange with carrot juice that I haven't tried yet. The older lady that helped me out was such a sweet heart. She kept on giving me samples of bread to try and they were all really good I would say even the best bread I have tried within all the near by cities around here. I'm glad I walked into this bakery, they officially have a new customer. read more

This is the only panaderia I will go to. Have been for 20+ years. The best pan dulce ever! Get there early or the bread will run out!

This bakery is amazing their bread is always so delicious and scrumptious. I've been buying bread here for about almost 6 years now.

I used to come here to get bolillos de frijoles or with meat. The bread is good too. I haven't stopped by here in a bit. I know several times I was helped by the nice older women. I hope that she is doing well. I need to stop by one of these days. She let me leave flyers with her I remember. I used to go back and check on them. My fliers will still be there on the counter. I like to shop at small businesses and this one is one is of them. read more

Best tres leches cake ever! Great customer service and they have an excellent variety of pan dulce :)

My review is solely on a cake I ordered. I went in on Thursday I needed a Star Wars cake. I looked thru their book and nothing however the ladies told me that the person who organizes their stuff would be in the next day and they could call me. I waited no one called, Friday afternoon I called they told me they had it to come in to make the order. I went, they showed me 2 figurines, Luke Skywalker and some other one with a weird plastic design. I advised I would only want the 2 figurines plain cake that would be navy blue transitioning to black with the spray gun. I was told they don't do fondant or any other decorations. I was fine with that. When I came in to get it on Sunday I was greeted with "the cake didn't come out how you wanted it"... really??? but now I had no choice either that cake or no cake. The cake itself was delicious very moist chocolate cake. However when it comes to decoration they do the basics absolutely nothing special... also they made me write "HAPPY BIRTHDAY" on the cake apparently the decorator left without doing it. Looks like this place survives of their actual bread and other stuff they sell. Will I be coming back? absolutely! 1/2 SHEET FOR $50.. IM A BAKER I WILL JUST DECORATE IT MYSELF! read more

been going here since i was a kid. great service, everything taste so good here.
