Delicious food and pastries. Got a few types of tamales and loved them and the guava pastry was out of this world

Super fresh and high quality masa for your tamales and all other masa needs. The baked goods are fluffy, fresh, and delicious too. I haven't tried their take out burritos or other food but will try them based on their other goods and excellent service. read more

Super sweet lady that worked on front and we ordered an assortment of tacos and burritos and pan dulce with coffee. They ran out of tamales but food was fresh and didn't take too long. Overall good experience although I wish they would have asked if we wanted salsa on side instead of in the tacos and burrito already. Also they only carry red sauce and not green salsa verde. read more

Want some quick authentic Mexican food highly recommend this place early morning breakfast burritos with amazing bread selections !

I wanted to love this place, but it didn't happen. Ordered a potato and egg breakfast burrito with rice and beans. The rice was either hard or stale. Flavors were good, just was missing the freshness. On the plus side, the coffee was good and the pastries looked delicious, though I didn't try them. Next time I will pack my own coffee and snag some of the pastries to go. read more

Review for the Bakery only~ This is my favorite Mexican Bakery in Castroville. They make the BEST apple filled bear claws here! Lots of apple chunks and excellent pastry with plenty of icing and almonds on top. I don't even miss the almond paste. You have to get here early for these as they sell out fast. The pineapple empanada is also good with plenty of filling and a cookie like crust with chunks of pineapple inside. I also love their big corn bread/muffin/cupcakes with raspberry filling. They're super moist like cornbread cake. Really good! The ladies are always nice. Ring the bell by the register for service because they're always in the back. read more

Waiting for our Vet appointment we decided to try this place. Although I frequent several places in this center I haven't gone into this bakery before. Well I had no idea what anything was except the bear claws. As stated in another post no almond paste but these were AMAZING. When the gal took my tray she tipped the tray and one danish fell to the ground in front of me. She quickly told me to get another. The bag was more than half full and just under $10. I was amazed. Took them home and the entire family enjoyed everything we picked out. So much better than donuts! We will be back. read more

If you enjoy good food like I do you will see past the strip mall, dishelved little bakery atmosphere... it took me a few minutes of shouting hello and hola before a lady who was washing the dishes in the far back came out but I'm so glad she did. I had heard from a local that 2 different places in Castroville sell the best burritos... I only remember that one started with an "F' so I guessed here and I'm guessing I was correct. Ping-Pong. Killer chicken and asada burritos. I enjoyed them at home... perfect blend of meat, beans, rice and salsa. I did add some crema and hot sauce from my own personal fridge but either way so good. I didn't even warm them up they looked so good. I got the smaller size but next time I know to go "grande" as I could probably finish one very quickly in a sitting considering how good they are! read more

The best pan dulce around. Their breads are fresh and delicious. Yum , yum, yum!!! We always stop here on our way to Mont!!

Great small bakery good bread and cheap food! its a small place so don't expect anything big, but they have good mexican bread and good food. they also have mexican hot chocolate read more

DELICIOUS carne Asada tortas-- the rating for those alone would be 5 stars! They are perfectly balanced and completely crave-able. My husband and I frequently return for the simple, mouthwatering torta. Most of the other options we have tried were good, but not as good! We also haven't tried the pastry... but the bread for the torta is delicious. Service is quick and kind, but since it's a bakery there is not much seating or "ambience" if that's what you're looking for. read more

I come to get bread here sometimes It's ok bread was a little hard Plus I had asked for change for a 5 and wanted 5 ones and they said they didn't have any when their register says cash only I'm very disappointed in the customer service I won't ever come back again read more

I'm always on a mission to find the best Mexican food This breakfast burrito totally hit the spot!! It had that perfect flavor like a road side stand in Mexico and the only reason it's not 5 stars is because it was $4 and change for a small-ish burrito. It was plenty for me but my husband would have been hungry still. Regardless, I would easily come back her for a quick bite. Didn't get any bakery items but it had all the traditional breads and sweets. Cash only but there is an atm inside. read more

Awesome chicken burrito. So much fresh chicken, beans and rice with hot salsa. Simple, flavorful and real. To die for tamales. Bakery is good, too. I had the Pan Grande with apple filling. Very good selection. Better to stop here than eat fast food. I will be back. read more

Stopped in to try their Mexican bread. I expect cinnamon in my conchas. Theirs was just plain. It had no flavor, not even the topping. Their cookies were not good either. They are lardy, also with no flavor. I will not return. read more

I had some time to spare, so I decided to venture in to the fortuna bakery since I was in the mood for some pan dulce (Mexican sweet bread). I decided to try one of their ham tortas, along with one of the pastries. The pastrie was dry, the ham torta was bland. It seem like something I could have made at home. I was surprised, at most mexican bakeries, they served the tortas with queso fresco, not the genetric american cheese kind. Needless to say I will not be coming back. read more
