I really like this panaderia. They have expanded into a larger room, big bakery in the back. Fresh sweet Mexican breads and authentic Mexican hot drinks: Chocolate Champurrado Arroz con Leche drink Atole (oatmeal drink) Definitely worth a try! Service is friendly and minimal. read more

Their eggs and bacon breakfast burrito had a lot of potato in it and hardly egg's. I would not recommend read more

The bf took me here for some fresh baked bread, the cream cheese jalepeno rolls was to die for, throw on top of that the sopas that was twice to die for. Its just bread, but it is so damn good! read more

Yummy, fresh, and amazing Pan Dulce! My absolute go to place for fresh conchas and the jalapeño cream cheese pan. Amazing selection of pan. 1st time I've seen cinnamon roll there. They have empanadas de calabasa. One of my childhood favorites. I've been going here for years. They've expanded their location. This place is a must go and try it out yourselves. You'll not want to go anywhere else. read more

Traditional panaderia and everything is made fresh! Came here around 7:20am and all the conchas were nice and warm! Fluffy and tasty! If you want some good pan dulce then stop by! Probably one of the best in town read more

The bread are good sizes and always taste good but customer service has gone down they over charge you and they don't even apologize or acknowledge it so beware and double check your receipt also the tamales don't taste as good as they used to. read more

Passed by on my way back from Pismo and craved for Mexican pastries. There were several customers waiting for fresh pastries and soon as they put them out, it was a frenzy. Warm and tasty, glad we stopped by and purchased 2 dozen. Well organized and clean. Counter person was friendly.On the way home we each ate 2. We also bought menudo and it had a good taste also. Well worth going to La Tapatia bakery. We definitely will pass by again. read more

Tamales are huge but its all masa. They have new online ordering but i had to call them after an hour and seemed like the person didn't even know there was an online order. She asked if she could call me back, I said yes. When she called back she said oh yeah we have your order it will be ready in 10 min. I said ok, then she called me back and asked me what kind of Tamales did I want? I said it's on my order! She just said ok well what kind? I said red with chicken. My menudo had like a spoonful of hominy only. They need more hominy in it. It was very flavorful just very little hominy. read more

This is my favorite bakery ever. Moved around a few states but nothing tops the fresh fluffy conchas from here. Y los atoles ni se diga

Best bread I have had in a while . Even though there was a line it went fast . Bread was soft and fresh can't wait to go back and try new things. read more

Conchas are so yummy.Food is very tasty staff is always nice and friendly I always recommend this place for excellent bread .

Food: 4.5. Came by for some of their pork tamales and jericallas to go. Definitely one of the best restaurant tamales I've had and only $2 each. I'm always on the search for good tamales. My friend who told me about this place recommends pan frying them with a cover and topping with a fried egg. The jericallas was good and tastes like a custard / creme brulee. This is a bakery and they have amazing looking offerings but I did not buy any of them. Food: 4.5 Service: 4 Ambiance: N/A since takeout Value: 4 read more

I live in Los Angeles, every time I come into Santa Maria to visit my family I make them go get me some conchas from this place. Amazing pan dulce fresh always thank you!! read more

New owners and the concha's and tamales doesnt taste the same ! now I gotta drive to 15 min away for some good concha's. Not as good as this place was , but close !! read more

I frequent this panaderia often 3-4 x'S a week The bread is always warm and fresh. I usually come for the Champurrado because it is nice and thick like I like it. It could use just a little more chocolate flavoring in it. I tried the Pozole for the first time last week. WOW! I won't being buying pozole from anywhere else from now on. The meat to hominy ratio was perfect. The flavor was so good and it wasn't watery like most places The customer service, despite from the negative reviews I've read is always top notch. The women / girls are helpful and friendly. Being handicapped / disabled they go above and beyond and help me by carrying my purchases to my car for me. La Tapatia is the BEST !! read more

Go in the morning fresh pan dulce and arroz con leche . Service is always very good here they also have a lot of food options as well

Our colleague brought pan dulce for the office today. I tried the conchas (round bread with swirly topping) and it was very light and fluffy with just the right amount of sweetness. I am no expert but I've tried conchas before and they were more dense. I would definitely return for the sweet breads. read more

Love this bakery! I'm new here and have tried a couple spots but La Tapatia tops them all! Their puercitos are delicious (no pic because I always finish them before I leave lol and their conchas with sugar are to die for when you're craving pan dulce mix and I love their lunch options my fav is the Tortas!!! They're loaded! I choose the Milanesa and on the weekends they sell menudo, birria, and pozole! I always make sure to grab fresh bollilos on my way out and a champurrado y arroz con leche for my partner and the service is pretty quick compared to how packed they do get / busy. The works are always nice and friendly to me even though I'm barely learning Spanish (Cashiers do speak English so it helps) read more

Great pastries and sandwiches. Love the concha's are so fresh. We also love the tortes de pollo.

This bakery is good and the counter Lady was so sweet and kind. The sweet bread is Central American and not Mexican. My suspicion is probably Guatemalan style and it has the same thicker bread-y texture. CalMex and Tejanos expect more of an egg yolk breading thats layered like cinnamon bread with cinnamon inside. read more

They sell Jericallas! I repeat THEY SELL JERICALLAS!! For those of you who don't know jericallas are a sweet custard with cinnamon and spices and are basically heaven on a spoon. They are absolutely delicious, best my fiancé and I have had outside of Mexico. Sin vergüenza digo que apenas comprábamos 4 (I'm telling you without shame, we just bought 4, they are just that good) On top of that, the conchas are absolutely the best in the central coast. They are soft and airy with just the right amount of fresh cinnamon baked in. We usually go and grab a couple conchas and since I like to experiment I grab a couple different varieties of pan dulce that they have. There are seriously tons of options, down to them selling hot chocolate abuelita to go with your pan dulce. On top of all of this, it is super cheap, $1.50 for a jericalla twice as big as what you would normally get anywhere else and pab dulce ringing in it at less a dollar each. If you are in Santa Maria, this place is a must try that won't break the bank! read more

La Tapatia Bakery - We got home 5 min ago and the 4th jericalla is already gone, they are just that irresistible - Bakeries Near Me - Santa Maria, California

We went on Wednesday morning after 8am ordered pork and chicken tamales. We were super surprised they were sold individually at $2 vs by the dozen or half dz. Most places offer green and red chile but not here, both meats come in the same red bland sauce and are pure masa with a little line of meat. The bread shelves were empty except for like 3 rows with the bread no one really likes. Very disappointed since this was suggested by a local. Sad We had to throw out a dozen tamales cuz they were dry and flavorfless, read more

Hands down the best Mexican bread in the area. They have a variety of different kinds of bread but my go to are the conchas. I buy a box each time I go and share with my family. The service is great as well, very welcoming. Will be back to try the tamales and the jericallas! read more

Workers are slow and give you bad service, lady took so long in the checkout and she started doing another task midway.

Some of the best tamales I've ever had, the meat to masa ratio is excellent and they taste homemade. The bread was also delicious and warm with the staff being very courteous also. Definitely plan on coming back and making this my new go to bakery! read more

I love the conchas but today was not what i expected. I ordered a cake for mothers day and instead of getting what i ordered i got a day old cake and i knew something wasnt right but the lady insisted that it was the cake i ordered! Man what a way to ruin mothers day!!! It was supposed to be a tres leches cake with coffee and walnut filling and it had nothing!!! read more

The Pan Dulces are so soft and delicious here. I always get the ones with the yellow / orange topping. The masa they use in their tamales has the smoothest and best flavored corn. They wrap in corn husks, not banana leaf or foil. Consistency is amazing. I need to sample all the types. So far just Queso, Puerco y Pollo. read more

If you didn't know better you would just drive past... the locals know better... in the morning around breakfast time it is crowded with a lot of foot traffic. I had to stop to see what the fuss was about... Oh my... pasteries, mexican sweet breads and cinnamon crisps... jelly filled pastries, hot out of the oven pastries... large and small pastries too many to mention... I decided to get about 6 different pastries some large, some stuff with custard, and i also got a carne asada torta... so how much did all this deliciousness run me? I got a twenty out... since there was no prices anywhere I did not want to look stupid... it came out to be 4 dollars and some change... whaaaat? I could believe it... you go to winchells and shell out 10 bucks for a few donuts and a fancy... I got all "fancy" style pastries and a torta! Want a great deal... go where the locals go and knock yourself out for little or no money! Thank me later read more

I had never been there before, but I had a great experience. The bakery looks very humble on the outside, but you cannot always judge a book by its cover. The breads looked very fresh, they had a great variety of pan dulce, Mexican pastries, and I left with a very large bag of bread for $6. If you ever want to change things up from traditional donuts and cookies, La Tapatia Bakery is a good place to find very tasty pan dulce. The employees greeted me, but did not ask me if I needed any help, perhaps because I knew what I was buying. When I got to my parents that I was visiting, they all loved the pan dulce and said it was very authentic so what more can I say. read more

DO NOT ORDER FROM HERE! I tried ordering a tres leches cake from them. Whoever takes the orders couldn't give me a price over the phone. I tried calling multiple times and the person would hang up on me on purpose. Horrible business practices. I will be getting my cakes somewhere else! read more

I love this bakery, there bread is freshly made, bread is very soft! They add just the right amount of dough. Champurrados are good as well!

If you go early in the morning you'll get the best bread !!! It's so soft and yummy. The arroz con leche is a good combo with the bread !

I have never EVER found a better tasting concha in my life! Love this place so much and have so many memories of rainy days and warm bread out of the oven! best bread and tamales in the world read more

This place is great it has some of the freshest pan dulce we have ever had. My husband loves there cream cheese & jalapeño boli's so good. We got a whole bag of pan for $4. Such a great deal. They also serve menudo and tacos but we didn't have any of that stuff this trip. A small place, hard to park, but perfect snack to take home to the family. read more
