The best tripleta in San Juan! So good we came back again during our trip. It's huge too and very fairly priced. The croquettes are also great, and the soft bread is amazing. Friendly service and helpful with translating. It's definitely a casual place and note that parking can be tough. read more

Moncho Pan - Tripleta - Bakeries Near Me - San Juan, Puerto Rico

A locals spot, but not worth the visit. We had much better pan through out the island, but food was better elsewhere with kinder locals. This is not a friendly spot to be a gringo at. Located a few doors down from where the address will direct your GPS to, it's easiest to spot by the bright awning. Limited parking is outside, as is the story with most spots in PR. The menu is in Spanish, which is easily translated through Google translate. The cashier spoke no English, and seemed frustrated by our novice Spanish. I ordered a Cubano and my husband ordered a medianoche. The bread was thicker than we had seen on our weeklong trip thus far, and significantly oilier. We didn't prefer it to what we had elsewhere. The flavors were fine, but not great- ultimately not worth the awkward visit. read more

El mejor Pan Sobao de Cupey! Vale la pena levantarse temprano para buscar pan caliente.

I have been coming here since I was a kid. Things have changed and I don't see the owner but the quality of food is the same. Prices went up but that is expected. The sandwiches are big and delicious. The catering trays are very good. You can order with 24 hours of anticipation. I ordered a few trays of guava pastries and meat turnovers. The food was fresh and delicious. Highly recommend the food from this bakery. They don't have many sweets or cakes available but the pastries they do have are really good. The bread is so delicious. Parking can be a problem so come with patience. Mask is required for entry (Aug. 2022). read more

Moncho Pan - Bakeries Near Me - San Juan, Puerto Rico

If you are visiting PR and are staying in San Juan, I would say this place is worth visiting. It's outside of the tourist zones, but it's one of the best panaderías in San Juan. Sandwiches are good a filling; the croquetas and quesitos are good too. But the star here is the bread. The pan sobao is excellent. Ambiance is very casual. Not a lot of tables. They do have a small outside seating section. Limited parking with no street parking. read more

This is tied for my favorite panadería. Maybe my favorite. Either way I loved everything about this place. The service was super and the ambiance was cool. Of course the food was amazing. The croquetas and pastelillos were very good. I had the pan con beef steak. It was huge. I could only eat half. The sandwich was delicious. I think it's the best beef steak sandwich I've had. I'll definitely be back. read more

Jueves 2 de febrero de 2023 estando en área Metro quería comprar y el me moví a Moncho Pan.

¡CAMPEÓN! ¡¡¡Tenemos GANADOR: MEJOR PAN DE AGUA y PAN SOBAO EN LA ISLA!!! También gana: "La Panadería más MACHO en Metro San Juan", ¡¡¡sus ofertas son #1!!! ¡¡¡ESTOY ENAMORADA DE ESTE LUGAR!!! Bien, permítanme comenzar diciendo que he estado en casi todos los Paneradia en el área metropolitana de San Juan. Soy ex redactor de la organización culinaria más prestigiosa de los Estados Unidos y NADA supera a MONCHO PAN en la categoría de panadería (un lugar pequeño en Ave Winston Churchill en Cupey) pero honestamente debería cambiarle el nombre: MACHO PAN porque la mayoría ¡¡¡De los asistentes al desayuno son hombres!!! Ahora te cuento por qué... ¡este establecimiento está regentado por gente súper trabajadora, sin duda! De hecho, abren a las 5 de la mañana. Según una reseña que leí aquí en Yelp, decidí probar este lugar. No tengo automóvil, así que tomé un Uber temprano por la mañana aquí (no es mala idea, no tienen muchos lugares para estacionar, ¡pero la rotación es rápida!) Volviendo a la historia que nos ocupa... cuando entré a este lugar como a las 5:30 AM, era básicamente como una escena sacada de una película con un "mar de hombres (machos)", muy machistas, estos son trabajadores de Puerto Rico, ¡Vienen por una taza FUERTE de café fenomenal y suficiente para llenar sus barrigas durante horas! Además, trabajé en NYC Construction y estoy acostumbrado a esto. Bueno, entrar en esta escena me hizo reír porque nunca en mi vida había entrado a un restaurante donde soy la única mujer. Dije algo en ese sentido cuando entré y todos los chicos comenzaron a reírse. ¡¡¡Así es como supe que este lugar era súper sensato y genial!!! (¡No se habrían reído de un lugar como Kasalta! Sin faltarle el respeto a Kasalta). El personal de MONCHO PAN es fantástico, ¡especialmente las mujeres que tienen que lidiar con un mar de hombres hambrientos todo el tiempo! Estas jóvenes son muy sensatas y muy amigables, ¡una combinación perfecta! Uno de ellos ya se sabe mi pedido de memoria. Una cosa que noté es que ciertamente los tratan bien porque todos y cada uno parecen felices de estar aquí. Grandes puntos para la gerencia y el personal por ESO. ¡Pero por favor, prepara un BOTE DE PROPINAS para las MUJERES! Bien, volvamos a LA COMIDA!!! MUNCHO PAN está produciendo algunos de los sándwiches rellenos más escandalosos, estamos hablando de porciones ENORMES del más delicioso "Pan de Agua" que es crujiente y delicioso. ¡¡¡Te reto a encontrar un Pan de Agua más crujiente y delicioso en Puerto Rico!!! No como cerdo, así que el cubano no es para mí, ¡pero seguro que es popular! A la hora del desayuno están ocupados preparando deliciosas tortas (tortillas) con vegetales frescos para el desayuno. Los sándwiches son enormes. Creo que puedes conseguir medio sándwich o entero, son conocidos por sus sándwiches de PAVO BISTEC, FRESCOS HECHOS EN CASA (!!!), recién deshuesados, ¡¡¡buscan la excelencia en todo momento!!! También venden carnes y quesos por libra. Pude pedir un sándwich de queso MANchego abierto con dos huevos: ¡era el CIELO! ¡Todo derretido y un verdadero placer porque en un lugar como Kasalta, estaría pagando 3 veces el precio por EXACTAMENTE lo mismo! Pero aquí estoy rodeada de BUENA ENERGÍA - ¡ahhhh, qué placer! ¡Lo que es muy peculiar/interesante de este lugar es su decoración "macho"! Hay (en broma) los carteles más divertidos publicados por todas partes lamentando el matrimonio y cosas como mantener feliz a la mujer, pero todo es por diversión. Estoy seguro de esto por la forma respetuosa en que nos tratan a mí y a todas las mujeres que entran aquí, ¡¡estos tipos aman a las mujeres!! Casi todos los pasteles, como sus gigantescos pasteles rellenos de Mallorca, guayaba y queso dulce (y, por favor, perdónenme por esta vulgar afirmación poco femenina, pero...) ¡¡¡parece como si alguien les hubiera inyectado VIAGRA!!! ¿Este lugar está patrocinado por PFIZER? Son enormes estamos hablando de Mallorca que son GIGANTES, las Pastas de Guayaba son iguales!!! ¡¡¡Ninguna otra Panadería en el área metropolitana de SAN JUAN está haciendo cosas tan grandes y tan audaces!!! MONCHO PAN se llena bastante después de las 8 a. m., se calma a las 10 a. m. y se vuelve ruidoso a la hora del almuerzo, a menos que consigas una mesa en el área sombreada de enfrente. La espera por la comida no es tan larga (¡¡¡Salud a los parrilleros de MONCHO PAN!!!) y que las mujeres se apresuran a tomar tu pedido en el área de caja con una sonrisa y un "Buen Día/Buen Provecho". Antes de que te des cuenta, te encontrarás diciendo: "Kasalta, ¿QUIÉN??? Panadería España, ¡¿QUÉ??! Y te darás cuenta de que esta es en realidad tu "Panadería Soulmate" en La Isla. ---------------------------------- ¡CAMPEÓN! We Have A WINNER: BEST PAN DE AGUA y PAN SOBAO EN LA ISLA!!! It also wins: "Most MACHO Panadería in Metro San Juan" , their offerings are #1!!! I'M IN LOVE WITH THIS PLACE!!! GO!!! read more

Came by for lunch The girl that was working didn't speak English (but she was still pretty friendly), so she had another gentleman come help us. He was very friendly and helped us out with everything! I asked about the Moncho Especial, which is a ~$18 sandwich. He said it was good for 2 people.. Friends ordered a turkey sandwich to share I also grabbed a few quesitos and a guava cheese pastry. Both were wonderful, although I preferred the guava because I really like the guava + cheese combination When they brought out our food.. turns out our moncho especial sandwich was really TWO sandwiches.. They were MASSIVE! I think he said there were 6 or 7 different kinds of meat! It was so delicious! But we ended up only finishing half/one sando. Definitely get the pan sobao.. it's soo light and fluffy with a bit of sweetness. After tasting the sandwich, we decided to grab a loaf of bread to take home! -- we made more sandwiches at home with this bread and they were great, should've grabbed one more! -- Tried my friends' turkey sandwich and this was great too. They use real turkey that they make in house. I don't normally like turkey because it's too dry, but this was really good. Wish I had time to come back to try the other sandwiches, but I'll definitely return next time I visit the island. read more

I grew up about a mile away from this place. Let me say I am completely biased and think they bake the best bread in the world. When my mom comes visit from the Island, she usually brings a loaf or two in her purse. Their parking is limited up front, they are open early AM and usually have a line as soon as they open. Do yourself a favor and order a sandwich and some good Puertorican coffee. read more

Great tasting bread, warm toasty sandwiches made to order and the CREAMIEST cheesecake you've ever had in your LIFE!!!

The best bread in the area. Their sandwiches are huge! They offer a variety of drinks, but very little sugar free options. Their pastelillos and croquetas are delicious. Coffee is strong, delicious, but strong, so be ready to experience a good cup of puertorican coffee. The sweets are good, and they are pretty big. The bakery also offer wines, cheeses and other selection of liquor. In overall, they are one of the best in the area... read more

The bread is fantastic! Sandwiches are delicious. Good coffee and pastries We go there often!

Not fancy bakery, but the bread ( pan sobao ) is the Best in all San Juan and most likely in the Top 3 on the Island. Sandwiches are amazing (size wise and taste). Bakery sweetness like quesitos, pastelillos, croquettes all are good as well. Laurita/Moncho - que Dios les Bendiga!!!!! read more

A humble mom & pop Panadería serving Puerto Rican pastries & made to order sandwiches. The pan sobao was AMAZING! Café, juice & milk also available to help wash down all the deliciousness. read more

Small local sandwich and bakery. They will serve you big portions with a very generous amount of meat. Definitely recommend. Worth the little drive out of the main San Juan area. read more

The best pan sobao in the island, slow, very slow and rude service, Panaderia style place

Small place with friendly staff and perhaps the best "Pan Sobao" in the island. We headed here in the morning before our flight back to New York and were not disappointed. Their donuts and pastries are huge and perfect for sharing. Highly recommend. read more

AUTHENTIC as it comes for Boricua panaderias. Best pan sabao on the island. Forget Lemy Pan, this is the one!! There are small tables for enjoying your cafécito and tostada or Majorca but we usually carry out. Also they conveniently sell many pantry staples--eggs, milk, wine, orange juice, choco listo, etc. to save you another stop elsewhere! Quesitos & Tornillos are also heaven, but are drenched in powdered sugar, be warned if you're wearing black! Blessed to live nearby this gem. read more

They have a huge Tripleta and pan Sobao súper rico. 100% recomendado. I need a bakery in Jupiter como Moncho Pan. read more

Moncho pan is great for having breakfast! I usually order anything on their 'pan sobao', which is their sweet, soft bread, which is really good, although over the years I think it's gotten a bit greasy to take home, unless you eat it right away. And, of course, a cup of coffee is a must! Caution with the coffee: when served, it is extremely hot. Their service is always very good. Moncho Pan offers an array of sandwiches, pastries, hot cereals, which are very good. You can also buy milk, juice and a few extra things you might be lacking and can purchase there instead of going to the grocery store. While they are preparing your order, they have quite a few tables with chairs to sit and, either wait for your order to be ready to eat right there or wait to take home. My only pet peeve, and it's not exclusively about Moncho Pan is the parking; it's the same for pretty much all businesses at Winston Churchill Ave. read more

Moncho Pan serves humungous amounts of food. The Pan Sobao is the best. the mayor as can feed three people easily.

Excelentes productos y servicio. El pan sobao es excepcional. Los sándwiches están bien hechos.

Bought quesitos at $1.75 and guava pastries at $1.25. The guava pastries had huge pockets of air between the layers. I prefer a slightly more condensed flaky pastry, but the filling was perfect! read more

Great bread and sandwiches. Good service although they need employees. Very difficult to visit because there are not enough parking spaces. read more

Decided to go here for lunch and try the Mucho Especial. It was pretty easy finding the restaurant but please be cautious of the minimal parking spaces. Customer service was very good despite speaking very little english. The sandwich was quite tasty and yes, it's definitely enough for two people! read more

By far the best pan sobao we have had. We try the bread at every bakery, but keep going back to Moncho pan. Bread is inexpensive and delicious. read more

Best sweet bread of the city. Great sandwiches although it's service has a lot of opportunities.

Best pan con ajo ever!!!! Pan sobao is really good too! 100% recommended. Great service!

Reviews weren't wrong - parking isn't very good but the Pan Sabao is the bomb!! Pastellito were very good and service wasn't that bad. Pretty cheap as well. Good breakfast spot. read more

LOVED this bread. I think it's the best I've had on this island, and I've had more than my fair share of bread! I took i took it one step further and got a Cuban and a steak sandwich. Both were ok but definitely not on the top of my list. I would definitely come back for the bread and pass in the sandwiches. read more

Would give them a 5 star, but they need to work a bit on their customer service. Cashier not the friendliest read more

Doesn't look like much but when you try their bread, pastry, and basically anything else... it's great!

Their biftec sandwich or skirt steak sandwich will make you want to slap yo'self in the face! We're talking about a sandwich so good it could make donald trump like obama and immigrants! read more

I count myself a lucky man because my wife is from the neighborhood in which Moncho Pan is located. This is always the 1st place we stop after arriving back at home for a cortadito and tostada in the morning. They have the best pan sobao in the entire isla, the choripan and the medianoche are my wife's favorites while I cannot seem to get enough of the Cubano with a bottle of Malta India. Every item I have tried at Moncho Pan has been extremely tasty and I love the easy-going atmosphere. The turkey and pork are roasted daily, something you see in very few places anywhere. I find it funny that people complain that the staff is not friendly. They have always been extremely friendly to us...and if they were not, I would still frequent Moncho Pan for the tastes of the island that elude us in the western United States. This is my favorite place to eat in PR. read more

The best bakery in the area, and personally, in all Puerto Rico. Two words: pan sobao. Its the softest, warmest, sweetest loaf of bread you will eat in your life. The best sandwiches are: turkey, cubano, chicken and the Tripleta. Obviously, ask them to be served on Pan Sobao bread. The sunny side up eggs they serve are made to perfection. Perfect. Like a fellow Yelper has pointed out, a wonderful morning in Puerto Rico can easily be described as arriving early to Moncho Pan, order some pan sobao buttered toast with some coffee, sit and enjoy. It is true that the employees could use a dose of Sunny Disposition vitamins to be nicer, but I've never been treated badly. Visit Moncho pan, you won't be disappointed. read more

The best Panadaria in San Juan. Pan Sobao (sweet bread) is the best on the island. This is a local establishment, open 7 days a week, loved by everyone in the San Juan metro area. Croquetas are to die for and they have excellent pastries (tornillos are my favorite). Sandwiches are gigantic, so consider sharing. read more

Awesome place for fresh sandwiches (and bread). I never once fail to get one (my favorite- turkey sandwich) when I come to PR for the weekend. My familys' faves are 'pan con bistec' and 'turkey with everything'. Their turkey is freshly cut so its not the typical cold cuts you get in typical "panaderias"/deli. You can order sandwiches in their famous 'pan sobao', whole wheat (which is a great choice because its a whole wheat version of their best bread) and their regular Cuban bread...all are great choices. They never fail to put enough meat in their sandwiches. I take off 1 star because sometimes, when its packed, its a hassle to park; and because the staff is not always the nicest of people ;) read more
