The most amazing tortas in San Jose! I love the Milenesa Torta, which is a breaded steak sandwich and is loaded with cheese, tomato, and avocado. So flavorful and savory with every bite. The Cubana features ham and mildly spicy chorizo and is also a delicious choice. The torta portion size is huge! I am unable to finish one sitting and it's definitely a shareable option between 2 people. Price is well worth the value. I come into the shop with amazement in my eyes due to their array of baked goodies, such as pan dulces, donuts, and cookies. So many to choose from! The Chocoflan is one of my all-time favorite desserts. It has such a nice blend of sweetness, creaminess, and the chocolate cake on the bottom retains moisture so well. Presentation-wise, it also make an adorable sweet treat to gift others! read more

This spot is unique, you walk in and think it's a Mexican panaderia which they have a huge selection. Than there is the tortas that they sell. They are huge and full of flavor. They have a nice selection including the infamous Cuban. Beware they are big enough to share. Depending on the time you arrive there could be a long line, don't let that steer you away. The line moves fairly fast. Don't forget to grab a few pieces of pastry for later. This place will not disappoint - give them a try read more

I like their steak, MilaNesa. Kind of pricey, but it is good. I don't like the melon drink with lime. It made me sick, but the pastry was good. read more

The cake was exactly what I asked for beautifully done and tasted just as good as it looked ! Great job team ! read more

IMHO - Covid Edition My sister wanted a Tres Leches Cake for her birthday. My daughter-in-law recommended Mexico Bakery! Fortunately it is located just 5 minutes away from me, in the Home Depot mini mall. I went at a time when I thought it wouldn't be crowded...3:30 p.m. on a Friday. Inside there was a socially distanced line, with a few other people waiting to the side for their orders. I had no idea what a Tres Leches cake looked like so I asked the lady in line behind me. The bakery has two huge refrigerated display cases jam-packed with beautifully decorated cakes and pastries. When it was my turn, I placed my order and handed the young lady a post-it note with the message I wanted on the cake. Five minutes later, my decorated Tres Leches cake was ready! The 8" round cake came to $27. The online price was more, so I was pleasantly surprised! My sister loved the cake! It was delicious, sweet and moist! I look forward to returning to try other delicious sweets! read more

Mexico Bakery - Concha, Puerquito, Ojo , Strawberry Stick - Bakeries Near Me - San Jose, California

If you don't know what to get, try their tortas! It may look expensive on the menu, but they're HUGE. It basically feeds two people even though half of it is still a lot for one person. I'm talking like, three layers of meat, lettuce, tomatoes, CHEESE, AND AVOCADO in that sandwich. Holy moly. My friend recommended the Milanesa, which is thin slices of beef that is breaded and pan-fried. It's delicious. The sandwich is a behemoth and it's one of those that gets messy to eat, but it's sooooooo good and worth every dollar! They have a huge selection of bread and other baked goods. I really like their cream horns cause they're not too sweet. The service is nice and quick. I visited around 1 PM after a hike and there were a few people in line waiting for their food. You basically go in, order, pay, and they'll bring your order outside or give it to you if you're just ordering baked goods. read more

Mexico Bakery - Milaneza Torta - Bakeries Near Me - San Jose, California

I have wanted to go to this place for a year now ever since my good friend Josh has described to me the glorious item this establishment provides: the torta milanesa. Luckily after a long hike, I was actually around the area and wanted to finally try this place out. Upon arriving here at around 1 PM, there actually was not that many people. It wasn't until after we put our order in that there was a line that was starting to form. BTW, when you look at the menu, there is actually no tortas that are mentioned. You have to bring it up to them. The other torta my friend told me they have is also a ham and cheese torta and a breakfast torta as well. Now for the food!! Their torta milanesa is such a great sandwich with sooo many fillings. I was kind of surprised that the whole thing was $12.50 but when you receive it, you'll start to understand why. You get a couple of thick pieces of meat, with huge slices of white cheese, vegetables, AND, heaping amount of guacamole! This torta is still heavy but also light due to the vegetables but I definitely would prefer to add more since the meat does over power it. I would definitely say to get this when you want to treat yourself! The next time I come here, I am definitely going to get some sweets since they all look so irresistible! read more

A true cultural gem! Authentic pan Dulce. The pan is fresh delicious and has great taste. I've also had the champurrado which is delicious as well read more

One of the worst experiences I have had anywhere. I ordered 4 burritos, while I was the only person in the place. I waited 40 minutes for them to tell me they have no rice. I asked if I could get a discount since they do not have rice and did not tell me. I also asked if I could get tacos instead. They said no. I asked for a refund and they took another 10 minutes to try and process it at which point I could not waste any more of my time and have to just take it up with my credit card provider. I did not get a sorry or any compromise. Seemed like they had no common decency. I hate to talk down on a local business, but this place does not deserve your money. Honestly very upset. read more

Mexico Bakery - Parking lot - Bakeries Near Me - San Jose, California

Yummy! The pastry was yummy and the food too. The Cuban was great. I highly recommend

Had a chance to try the famous Mexico Bakery this past week and overall liked the experience. I have to say when we got here, which was a Thursday night around 6:30ish this place was pretty crowded with a line that went through the restaurant. Thankfully the line moved pretty quickly. When i got there it was really cool to see all the different desserts and pastry options - everything looked yummy! However I ended up ordering: *Milanesa Torta - this was my favorite dish and I loved every bite. This sandwich came with fried breaded beef - thin pieces but very flavorful, avocado, onions & a fat slice of queso. All the flavors went really well together *Torta Cubana - this torta was okay - it came with egg, ham, chorizo &sausage and was really filling. I liked it but definitely liked the Milanesa more *Choco-Flan - I really enjoyed this dessert as it was not too sweet. THe top was flan while the bottom was moist chocolate cake. It was the first time trying this dish but I really enjoyed it! *plain glazed donut - Soft, yummy and delicious. Just wish I warmed it up but enjoyed every bite none the less/ Overall, this is a good bakery with very yummy tortas, especially if you are looking for a filling meal with a great bang for your buck! read more

One of the best foods I had ever eaten. The asada torta is super good. Meat is super tender and tastes amazing. The combination of everything tasted amazing. Seriously love it. I'd be back for this torta. The bakery food is good as well. I don't even know the name of the item I got. But it's good!!! It's like a sweet bread. Forgot to take a photo. I'd be back! read more

My first time here was prior to COVID-19 after a co-worker recommended this place for its tortas. On that visit I ordered the Asada torta and was pleased to see the torta stacked high with meat. It was a huge torta! I was not able to finish the whole thing, so I kept the other half for dinner. I recently visited during the pandemic and noticed that there were no markers for a line or to social distance. Everyone was in a cluster close to the register. I felt discouraged to stay and order food, but I went ahead and ordered the Cubana & Asada torta. Both tortas were stacked with several pieces of meat. The tortas are good but the bread got soggy by the the time I got home to eat it. Each torta was between $10-$12 before taxes. This bakery also carries a variety of Mexican bread and to my luck they carried a specialty bread I could not find in my neighborhood. They carry pan dulce, galletas, pasteles, flan, and so much more. They have a good selection of bakery items. I ordered several pieces of pan dulce, flan in a cup, choco flan (recommend it), and a Vampiro juice. The price of the juice was higher than at other places I have been too ($6+ for a medium). This bakery has it all! A wide variety of bakery items, tortas, juices, and they even sell milk, tortillas, and eggs (small section)! The service is efficient even if you must wait to order because it is always busy. Definitely a must try in San Jose! read more

Mexico Bakery - Cubana Sandwich - Bakeries Near Me - San Jose, California

TORTA!!!! I've been living in the area almost my whole life.. and only recently was I told about this place... walking in you see all the amazing and delicious baked goods and treats.. but as the more informed locals know.. this is the place for tortas. Well, can't say prices haven't gone up in the past few years, but with how the economy is and seeing old photos of the menu.. well.. ya.. it's gone up.. lol. Alas, it doesn't seem to have stopped people from continuing to order one of these amazing sandwiches. For years I haven't had a decent torta, mostly because I haven't really been able to find a spot that had anything good.. but after a trusted recommendation with a promise to an amazing sandwich.. I ordered one and got so much more than I expected. The torta was basically the size of my head.. bun well toasted.. and the fillings.. from the first bite... it was just... an explosion of flavor. The large chunks of avocado, the well seasoned LAYERS of meat, the pickled jalapenos.. onions.. tomatoes... It all worked so well to form this absolutely delicious sandwich.. I was hungry and had hoped to just eat half of it and save the rest for later.. but I found myself inhaling the entire thing. Oh boy.. I'm in trouble. LOL. read more

Mexico Bakery - Carne Asada torts (recommended) Cuban torta (meh..!) - Bakeries Near Me - San Jose, California

The pan dulce is always fresh. We literally tried 3 places all in the same morning just to see who's was better. The service is good because they are quick. Only draw back is no one speaks English but you can always use the kiosk to order. Which we've done once and it works out just as good. Ambiance is a normal bakery. One or two small tables with a couple of chairs. You are really going here to grab and go not to stay. read more

Great place to take someone to try their first concha --- which is exactly what I did when I had company visiting me! I don't know everything about conchas and Mexican bakeries, but I know for sure that the variety of their selection is impressive and WIDE. They also do hot savory food, they have coffee, and they have whole cakes. read more

This is only for the breaded steak torta which was a delivery to a workplace. One word best describes this sandwich: "Gi-nor-mous." Having visiting a client in Fremont and unfamiliar with the local favs for lunch, my host always comes up with some great places for good eats! Here at the Story Rd location they don't skimp on the ingredients with the sliced jalapeños still popping in my mouth. I only wish they provided more napkins as once you take several bites, the sandwich gets messy! I can't really compare it to other similar tortas since I rarely order a torta - I much prefer a carne asada super burrito but overall this was a great sandwich with only being able to eat 1/2 and taking the rest home with me. read more

Great bread but it's on the pricy side. The service is always great and the tortas are some of the best.

Such an amazing find. Everything was incredibly fresh. It felt like an old bakery from my childhood, where we used to buy birthday cakes and other bakery goods. It was crowded, with everything being made fresh right in front of my eyes. Service was quick. Ambiance-wise, it's not a bakery where you can sit and enjoy your coffee with croissants. Rather, it's a place where you come in, buy fresh bakery goods, and then go back home to savor the taste. read more

Came across this place on Yelp after searching for a place that does a great tres leches cake! I called to preorder a cake a day before and communicating was a bit hard if you don't speak Spanish, but was still able to successfully place the order! I texted the lady the name I wanted on the cake for a birthday and told her I wanted a round cake. Pretty busy around noon on a Friday. Expect a small line! Parking is easy since it is located in a plaza. Interior is nice and clean, pretty spacious too. The staff was helpful! Brought it to a birthday dinner and the cake was delicious!!!! Super moist, great flavor! It was three layers with custard in the middle (you can choose the filling cream). Paid ~$27 which is not bad at all for a decently sized and delicious cake! read more

The bread 9 times out of 10 is sooooooo good!!! It's difficult to find good "pan dulce" (Mexican Sweet Bread). This place is well stocked, they have a large selection, they hardly ever run out. I'm usually there late on Sundays like between 8pm-10pm late and they are still stocked, still fresh, still open! The only time I wasn't happy was 1 out of like 10 visits I've had, they didn't have my fav: "cuernito de dulce" (sweet horn) on the shelf, I asked the girl (I could tell she was new bc she kept asking for help) and she was told there was some in the back (which happens often, and that's ok bc I show up late). The girl found the bread but I noticed when I got home that it had no powdered sugar and it was burned. Again, I could tell she was new so I gave it a pass, no harm, no foul. They also bake cakes, sell coffee, and Mexican food but I've never tried any of those. read more

Best torta I've ever had. Hands down. I've stopped trying to find a comparison. I make a trip to Story Rd whenever I'm visiting San Jose.

Amazing value and flavor! Stopped by here after a grocery run and picked up a burrito as well as torta. Both were extremely generous portions (they don't skimp on the asada here!) and the flavor was great as well. The aroma of all the baked goods inside is wonderful. Would return to try more items as well as some of the pastries that they have! Noticed that there were a lot of locals coming in and out which is a great sign that this place is the real deal read more

My boyfriend and I were craving mexican food and found this spot. The spot is like a cafe with only 3 tables. They had a massive assortment of baked desserts lined up for display. I ordered the chorizo torta and my boyfriend ordered the cubano torta. First thing we noticed when pulling these sandwiches out of the bag is that they are massive with sandwiches stuffed full. The ground sausage meat was fairly salty and seasoned heavily. But I like my food on the more flavorful side so that was good for me. There's a decent amount of fresh ingredients in the sandwich but the ground meat was pretty overpowering. Some additional fresh and pickled vegetables in the sandwich would have been great. I wasn't as sold on the cubano since it didnt resemble a cubano and didn't really taste like one. Overall pretty good and worth a try if you're looking for a hefty torta! read more

Worst cake ever. Lots of frosting inside and out. It had way too much jelly and it wasn't any gThe colors in the decoration were impossible to wash from our hands. The bread was good though, too bad it was just a little bit. El peor pastel en mi vida. Demasiado betún adentro y afuera. Tenía una mermelada muy sintética y demasiada. Los colores de las decoraciones eran muy difícil de lavar de las manos. El pan estaba rico, lastima que era muy poquito. read more

I've never had tortas before and this was the place that everyone said to go to! The bakery itself was really spacious inside and had a lot of pastries and baked goods. We ordered on the big kiosk screen that was on the side of the line. No one was using it surprisingly. We got the Cubana Torta, Tres Leches cake, and a Concha. We waited about 15 minutes for the food to come out. While we waited, one of the staff was giving out free cookies which was really nice of them. The torta was really flavorful and I enjoyed the different textures in the sandwich and it was humongous!! Can definitely eat for two meals. However, I do wish it was a little more saucy. It was kind of dry and it made it a little hard to eat. The Tres Leches cake was moist, but just a tad too sweet for my preferences. The concha was really good and not too sweet. Overall, I'd come back to give their torta a second try and I'll probably try a different one next time. read more

For Starters this is a Mexican bakery And you walk up to place your order at the counter, so don't have expectations of a restaurant. However if you're looking for a super Duper delicious huge torta, then this is your spot! So far it's the best start that I ever had I'm not sure why I haven't yelp this previously because I've been going here for a few years. When I say huge, It's huge! As you can see it's filled with four layers of Carne Asada kind more well done than I prefer, nonetheless it's still a delicious torta! Fresh queso fresci and can be a little messy with all the avocado, so get lots of napkins. If you go during primetime expect a long wait. But definitely worth the wait and highly recommend it if you're in the mood for a torta specially a nice big huge torta enjoy and pan dulce! Every piece of pan dulce I've tried has always been freshly perfectly baked. read more

Mexico Bakery - Huge Carne Asada Torta - Bakeries Near Me - San Jose, California

Yeah so this place has the best tortas in town. Had the torta milanesa with my main man Josh and it was amazing. First of all, the portion was huge. Me and Josh were able to comfortably share 1 sandwich and it was satisfying. The milanesa itself was delicious. Perfectly breaded and fried pieces of beef steak, yum! The rest of the sandwich complimented it perfectly: tomatoes, avocado, jalapenos, and a slice of queso fresco. Plus the bread is toasted. Godlike. Also, the owner gives you free bread while you wait for your food. One of the sweetest and generous owners I've seen. Their other stuff is pretty good too: jelly cake and tres leches cake. read more

My coworkers that used to live in SJ were talking about how big and delicious the tortas here were and super hyped it up for me. I personally LOVE sandwiches so as soon as the next day hit, I hopped in the car with my brother and we drove out to the South Bay to try the famed Mexico Bakery. When we got there, it wasn't too busy yet as it didn't hit lunch time yet. Luckily we got there relatively early because 10 minutes into ordering a line started to form! We dodged one for sure. I got the torta milaneza with everything, my brother got the torta asada and I got my parents a torta cubana. We also picked up a caramel tres leches cake slice. When the cooks began wrapping the tortas up, my brother noticed and literally yelled out "Dang, those are huge!" I could not have been any more excited. These tortas, by far, have been one of the biggest and best tasting than what I've had so far in my life, no cap. SHEESH! Everything was on it, avocado, tomatoes, I'm pretty sure they put a whole avocado in there because I definitely felt like I ate a whole avocado. There was just layers and layers and layers of meat and a huge block of cotija cheese. Flavors just come bursting in my mouth on the first bite. Avocado, tomato, the soothing and subtle taste of the cheese, and the milaneza, all encompassed into a single bite. Absolutely delectable. Highly highly recommend this place for all your bakery and torta needs! The tres leches hits different too! Sweet but not too sweet, and not completely drowned in the milk, but just enough so that the cake is still extremely moist. read more
