This bakery is definitely one of my favorites in the area! Things I recommend: the tamales, bolillos, and pan dulce -- all consistently delicious. The pan dulce is always fresh, and the bolillos are honestly some of the best I've had from any bakery in a long time. The place itself is small, and parking can be a bit limited, but it's on a visible corner that's easy to find. Inside, they have a great variety of baked goods and a steady stream of customers, but the service is always quick and friendly. It seems to be family-owned and operated, and the woman who usually works in the evenings is always kind and helpful -- she gets your order together fast, even when it's busy. I usually stop by in the evenings, and I love that they still have plenty of fresh bread and pastries available, even close to closing time. The inside recently got a bit of a facelift -- it looks nicer, even though it wasn't really needed! There's no indoor seating since everything is packaged to go. With the remodel, they also added new menu items like smoothies and specialty juices. I haven't tried those yet, but I did ask about the juice prices, and they seemed a little higher than I expected (though, with how things are these days, that's understandable). The pastries and baked goods are reasonably priced and always worth it. This place is a must-stop for me whenever I'm in the area -- great quality, friendly service, and consistently fresh baked goods. read more

No, no creo que yo regresaría. Yo pide 5 docenas de pambazos y les expliqué cómo los quería y hasta les di foto para que lo vieran y me dieron pan como de telera. Y yo dije que no los quería haci. Lo mínimo que pide era que me dejaran el pan descolorido y me lo dejaron dorado. Pero ya pa que, no les iba hacer complain porque se necesitaba el pan para ese día. Los de Guanajuato, no les recomiendo venir aquí para comprar pan de pambazos. No los saben cómo hacer bien. Mejor vayan al Bakery Del Bajio en chino. Ahora para mi cumpleaños no voy a comer pambazos auténticos. Edit: no está cosa no sirve. Ya lo cocinamos y ni agarro color del chile y ni se los pega. Enserio me mintieron. Esto ni es pambazo es como una telera. Nunca jamás regreso a ninguno de estos locales. No recomiendo este legar o los otros. Ni que me devuelvan el dinero me haría cambiar mi mente. read more

Bought some bread off of Too good to go , $7.99 . But when I went down no know English, was waiting for over 10min asking for help. And when they gave me the bread it was not soft and got hard when I got home .door was open and the air dried the bread out . read more

This was a difficult review for me. The offer a large selection and the bakery has variety on great bread. It also has a small coffee corner where you can get the coffee fresh or you can buy a premade one in the icebox on this particular day I went for a tamale review the tamales $4 per each one. I ordered the pork and I ordered the chicken. I have to say it was 60% all masa. Both varieties of tamales were delicious, but it was just way overkill with the MASA. I'm wondering if you could cut back on the MASA maybe that four dollar would be a three dollar price tag? The bakery is definitely worth a look, especially during the holidays.. read more

Oh my gosh, they make the best Tamales. So moist and filled with pork or chicken and surrounded with masa. They are so delicious you can't have just one. Location I go to: 510 N. Mount Vernon Ave Colton off the 10 freeway. They also, have all kind of Mexican beard. Regina Soto 9/3/2025 read more

Everything is so delicious the bread is so soft and the tamales are so delicious the staff are so nice and welcoming

The place is great, often come here for menudo. Better than other places. The coffee and pan/bread taste great. Always fresh.

EVERYTHING here is a guarantee delicious/savory/mouth pleasing choice even down to the cafe de olla

Their customer service is not how it used to be I have been a customer for years and today was horrible. I went in for a drink unfortunately they were out so I walk out all of a sudden I hear someone yelling she opens the door and says what did I put in my pocket? Instead of was there something you were looking for. I can't believe this is how this business is now. I will not buy from them anymore it is pretty sad that this is how they run their business not friendly at all. I would not give any rating but unfortunately you have to put something! read more

This is the 3rd time I have purchased tamales from La Estrella Bakery, in the past 3 years. Every time the tamales have been excellent with great flavor and the right proportions of meat, sauce and masa. Their Mexican bread is also great. The staff is also pleasant and even when busy have treated me well. I highly recommend. this place. It is worth the half hour drive for me to pick up. read more

We were in town for a week, we went to another bakery nearby, they didn't have my favorite kind. Lo and behold we saw this place as we headed back home. They had the best ever Elote in chocolate, strawberry and vanilla and traditional cinnamon. Our Pan Dulce was so tasty, soft fresh even on the third day! It was the best pan Dulce we've had in years! Not kidding. Friendly service nice assortment of sweet breads .. tamales and champurrado and atole too. We will be back and I'll tell everyone I can tell. Sorry, I didn't take pics read more

Lady was kind of mean but atleast the tamales were good. I'll be going to another location though from now on :(

They can do all the advertising for being delicious and number but it is false propaganda. My food was hard and was not freshly made. They declined my request for money back very bad customer service.. hope this place goes out of business read more

The Mexican Bread is great and they have many different varieties to taste. I also like the tamales. Thank you for your great food.

I have only had the pork tamales with red sauce, but I keep going back for them! I have heard the champurada is very good too.

Omg I was hesitating when I walked in and I saw all the breads and alot to chose from. Alot of empty bins Obviously that's a good sign because people come in early and get their bread. I took a picture of the bread that I ordered and also order tamales are 3.00 each I got pork, chicken and coke with cheese!!!! One medium champurrado my bill out the door 58.00 !!! So I went home to piss off the ones on a diet because they were going to eat it lol yup I eat because I enjoy food!!! So the chicken tamales had a lot of favor and great taste it a lot of masa it has great favor too!!!! So I did try apple and guava bread taste great bread alittle hard some soft parts!!! I'll post more of my thoughts after. read more

Bread is horrible, tamales are either not cooked or over cooked and dry, I've found mold, customer service is horrible and let's not mention how disgusting everything is. Marcella the owner, Michelle, Diana and all the other employees are terrible! Go to Lesley's Bakery on highland arrowhead instead. EVERYTHING they make is AMAZING! read more

Stopped in for tamales and all they had was pork. That's exactly what we were wanting. Thought I would get a half a dozen. We bought some sweets too. One piece looked like a giant Hostess Cupcake, my daughter's choice. We bought some buñelos and a couple cream filled cones. Omg the tamales were huge. They were delicious, filled with red chili and pork. They were juicy and not dry. Have you ever craved something and had them not taste right? This place came through. If I wasn't going to make homemade I would have ordered more. We at before even leaving the parking lot. Couldn't wait to get home. These were freshly cooked. read more

growing up i would drive by this place all the time and never stopped by, but today i gave it a shot and wow the pork tamales are bomb they are big and cheap not like these other places ill be stopping by every time im in the area read more

There parking lot is very small and we had a very bad experience today, and the dam worker comes out of the bakery yelling at me. After I just purchase my stuff rude ass worker had no business saying shit when she didn't even know what was going on. Rude ass driver refuse to let me drive off. any ways they just lost a customer we've been buying from Estrella Bakery since they were in Del Rosa San Bernardino. and one more thing that worker should lose her job. read more

The service is so dang horrible if you don't know Spanish they discard you. I posted the pic of the lady she is so rude!!! She has a scar on her chin just for reference if people come in contact with her that are non bilingual she refused to help me and walked away because I didn't speak Spanish! Then took the whole line which was long as hell and finally called another older lady who also didn't speak English but she tried so hard to help and did she was very sweet. The worst part was the tamale had MOLD on the husk I would never go there again pics posted tamales 3.50 each read more

I came here and bought a few tamales and not even getting to the car yet we opened one up to take a test bite and kid you not we went back the very next day to buy more. I believe the pork is the best then the chicken. Will always recommend this to amazing bakery to family and friends. read more

Their tamales are the best tamales in town, but the bread is okay. I go here to eat tamales any time in the year. They're so tasty and a great portion! read more

First off WOW for the first time in my 45 years my Family did not make Tamales for Christmas so I was in search of some Tamales for a small gathering. After trying the Big Chain Stores El S**** and Ca***as I stumbled upon this little shop. The Variety of baked goods and food is incredible and the quality is amazing. Got two dozen pork tamales while they were a little pricey it was worth it the tamale was stuffed with meat. The service was great, so friendly and efficient. The parking kinda stinks but I would park a block away and walk that's how much I enjoyed these tamales and baked goods!! Tamale in photo was much bigger but I had already eaten half of it lol I couldn't help myself. read more

Finally found a place around here with pan dulcet that reminds me of my childhood. Clean, friendly and fresh! I will definitely be making this place my main bakery. read more

I used to go there often. I stopped going to due to poor customer service and the pan being mediocre.

Always fresh and reliable. I had them cater our company Christmas Party today. They whipped out 55 dozens of tamales THAT WERE FRESH! DEFINITELY EARNED OUR BUSINESS! read more

Stale bread, rude employees not worth the time or money. I came in on a weekday during the afternoon I was just buying a couple of bolillos which are behind the counter, when I walked in the lady working the register didn't even acknowledge me. I waited patiently to be assisted and she was gossiping with another employee when she finally took the time to ask me what I wanted she continued to gossip and as the other employee walked away she asked me what I wanted again because apparently she wasn't even listening. What would have taken a couple minutes took longer than necessary, no thank you after paying. Manners make a world of difference. read more

This place used to be good. There's a new worker who walks around thinking she's better than everyone. Every time i go in she has this look like I'm bothering her from her phone. Never get greeted and to top it off the quality of the tamales have gone down. Ordered a pork tamale and a cheese one the cheese was brown and smelled terrible and the pork one was mushy still. I love supporting small businesses but man they make it really hard with their crappy service especially from the lady with the thick black glasses and their bad food and the store always looks dusty. read more

This is the Worst place I've been to. Ever. When my husband and I walked we immediately felt yucky the place had no air flow and it smelled more like a gym than a bakery. The bread trays were full of flies and immediately made my stomach upset but my husband had been craving tamales so we decided to ask if they had any... but it took minutes for someone to greet us. When they did i noticed they has corn bread on the counter wrapped in plastic and thought about getting one slice.. until i saw the fly inside the plastic crawling all over the bread OMG then she started swatting the counter trying to kill the fly. Never walk in. They have a drive thru and there was people in line. We ran to the door. Don't come here read more

The lady that does the cakes had Great customer service she helps you out and gives you options and opinions to make your cake even better than what you wanted it to be! You can really tell they take their time in doing it and they do an amazing job! I was not expecting our cake to be this good, nice and cheap!! Thank you guys so much! We will definitely be going back! Oh and try out their bread it's really good!! read more

We have been customers since they were in Highland but today we stopped by to get tamales and pan dulce and when we came out a lady was parked in the middle of the driveway even though it's wide enough for two cars my wife asked her to move over so we can get out. The lady refused because she said someone scratched her car before then she went inside and brought the young lady working the counter out and that girl called my wife a "crazy bitch" and didn't ask that lady to move so we can get out. Ended up waiting till that lady left and our tamales were cold by the time we were able to eat them. We will never return. read more

Business closes before their posted hours. Got there with time and doors were closed. Why put up your hours if you guys don't follow them?

My review is solely based on their tamales and customer service. The RED tamales are BOMB! The masa is very fluffy and soft, the meat has great flavor and they're cooked to perfection. I've tried the green chicken tamales and those were alright, not my favorite..... I have yet to try the cheese ones. Their champurrado is so good too, Perfect to pair with some red tamales. The staff is very friendly. I can't believe I didn't come to this place sooner! read more
