We had just had dinner at Barbecue Pit nearby and wanted to pick up something sweet on the way home. We walked into this place, and there were a ton of treats, two cases of them! I selected a few things that I promptly forgot the names of. Both were really good, very fresh, and not overly sweet! I also noticed that they sell tortas and breakfast burritos, so I will have to come back for that. We got three things and it was only $8, so it's very reasonably priced. I don't think there's really a place to sit and eat, more of a grab and go. There's enough parking and there are 30 minute spaces right in front. read more

I'd like to do a review that's more than "just go here," but "just go here." This bakery has a huge variety of fresh Mexican pastries and cookies as well as some coffee, drinks, and a few breakfast items if you get there earlier enough. Everything is good, you can't go wrong going here. But I might as well say more. First the pastries are great. They're done right, not oversweet, very fresh (clearly they know how to stock properly) and what variety. There are puerquitos, cookies, conchas, and pretty much anything you can want. My wife and I have often gone here to get sweets for a party or just for dessert! But don't sleep on the breakfast. I've tried their breakfast burrito, which is basically an egg burrito, and it's done right. Eggs prepared properly, firm, not greasy, excellently done. The staff is always friendly. Just be sure to bring cash as that's all they take. An absolute must-visit. Plus the complex they're in has great restaurants and markets too! read more

I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS PLACE!!! I moved to this area and found this place that is close to my daughter's dance class. I finally stopped by and let me tell you this place is so authentic and delicious! The tamales are perfect, the bread that perfect hint of sweet. I will be back to try more items. Best of all they sell fresh bolillo and teleras! There was a line when I got there but the cashier got through it pretty quickly. Then another line formed so you know this is an awesome spot when people come in all day. So excited to have found this panaderia!!! read more

Growing up in east San Jose I've had my share of pan Dulce. Before COVID I used to make deliveries at Bills cafe next door and would stop in right when they would open in the mornings. let me tell you what a treat it was to be able to get the pan right as it came out of the oven. It's been years since I've been back in the area after getting a new job but still think about this pan often. Would recommend this place to anyone read more

I grew up on East side San Jose, where there were plenty of panaderias near me, so I was a little hesitant trying this place. A couple of years ago, a relative bought some for us to try, and it's been one of my top favorites in SJ. I even had some ordered for my baby shower just so I can share my favorite pan with my family. I usually come in the mornings and I'm greeted right away. I'm in and out in just a couple minutes. It's always so bright which helps you get a great view of their big selection of bread. Whenever I'm in the area, this a must stop. read more

Panaderia Gudiño - Mexican Near Me - San Jose, California

I ordered the cuernitos and it's one of the best ones I had . It reminded me of the fresh baked buttery bread from Mexico. I no longer have to drive to the east side to get my bread fix! I went around 2pm , and there was no other person in line so the service was great! read more

Yes We Pan Small mom-and-pop panaderia located in an aging strip mall in South SJ that's been in operation for nearly six years (2017) now. The Good: *All their pan dulce is made in-house *Friendly service *Their breakfast burritos are really good and for only $6/ea. They kinda remind me of La Vic's breakfast burritos when they were good instead of the caca that they are now. *Housemade tamales (didn't try, but a co-worker recommends) *Small lot, but usually plenty of parking available The Meh: *Cash only The Ugly: *Neighborhood is kinda sus, especially those apartments along the backside. TLDR: Good pan dulce and even better burritos. read more

What a great little spot. I am typically not a fan of the Panaderias but this one is different. I was eager to try their champorado which multiple reviews were raving about. Sadly, they were out and I got the hot chocolate which was different and very good. The cupcake was moist and tasty, not too sweet. The lady who helped me was super nice. She did not speak English and I do not speak Spanish but we still had a very friendly exchange. I wish them the very best. I will be back to try the champorado for sure. read more

This is my go-to Mexican bakery. I've tried other bakeries, but I end up coming back to this place.

Excellent choice for your baked goods....concha, Mexican apple turnover, muffins, cookies. Everything was so fresh and priced right. I loved everything. I will be back for sure. read more

So yummy! My first time visiting a Mexican bakery and I will def come back. I ordered a white concha and hot chocolate and my boyfriend got a large pink swirled pastry. Our total came out to $6.75 which was very reasonable. I believe they only take cash. The service was very nice, pastries were delicious and the store was very clean. 10/10 recommend. read more

Panaderia Gudiño - white concha - Mexican Near Me - San Jose, California

I wish I could have had a better experience. The lady working was so rude. I came in because my friend really missed eating conchas from her home town in Mexico and I told her I'd bring her some. I've always known about this place because I live close by but never stopped in. I saw the great reviews and was a bit hesitant to come because it wasn't on the east side. Wasn't sure if the reviews were biased if you know what I mean. In any case, I stopped in since it was a 2 minute drive versus a 15-20 minute drive to the east side. Everything looked great and I could have been fooled I was on the east side and not in Almaden Valley. All I wanted was some help and suggestions on what else to get besides the typical chocolate, strawberry, and vanilla conchas. She was of no help and seem irritated and wanted me to just get in and out. Sure I understand that there may be a few other people waiting to order but I was there at the moment and buying a few, not just one or two. Being nice goes a long way. Now I may never come back. It's too bad because my friend and her family loved them! Reading some of the bad reviews, it seems as though this older lady shouldn't be working with customers. I'm sure it's the same rude lady I had help me. read more

Pan dulce galore! Mexican breakfast and items served before 10 am! There is an extremely large variety of fresh bakery items in an area of San Jose where one might not be looking! My only advice is, do not go there on an empty stomach; bought and subsequently ate more than I needed! Burp! read more

Excellent service. Delicious traditional Mexican food/desserts. I've had their concha's and tortas, both delicious. Highly recommend.

I'm looking for new tamale place for holidays. This place is bit out of the way for me in Evergreen. First tried my favorite Rajos, cheese with jalapeño. They barely had any cheese and even less jalapeño...so I'm disappointed! Now tried chicken tamales, which are better, maybe on dry side. I also get sweet bread and I did like those but just not worth the drive just for pan dulce. read more

I was so happy to find a Panederia on this side of town! I grew up with many around me and I missed this delicious pan since moving to this side of town. I came in recently to buy some pan de muerto for dia de Los muertos but I was a day too late and they ran out. But I still left with some delicious pan to eat and for my altar. The staff here is very friendly and they even offer other items like tamales and tortas. I haven't tried these yet but I'm sure they're delicious! I recommend their business! **Please note they are cash only** read more

The chicken tamales I bought were undercooked. I ate two of them then suddenly developed Diarrhea.

I was craving a breakfast burrito and found this place. I got the chorizo breakfast burrito and it hit the spot! I'd love to try all the other treats as well. They seemed to have regulars, which is a great sign. I also ordered a few tamales, but I liked the breakfast burrito better. read more

OVERALL: One of the best bakeries I've been to! Wide selection, nice interior, friendly staff, great prices! FOOD: this is a Mexican bakery. The baked goods ranged from traditional breads like conchas to other unique items. All looked fresh, smelled amazing, and the ones I tried were super moist and flavorful. They also offer items like tamales (3 types), champurado, mexican hot chocolate , tortas, and more. I had several tamales and the champurado and can vouch for it 100%. My favorite was the rajas and the pork. They also offer salsa and cream for a small fee. VENUE: the bakery is located in a little outdoor shopping mall so there is ample parking. The bakery is cute and clean! SERVICE: the staff was so friendly and helpful. Keep in mind, this venue doesn't accept credit cards! Cash only. read more

I've been here several times, trying their breakfast burritos, their tortas, and their pan (Mexican pastries). Every time I've enjoyed the food. Granted, none of these are the best version I've ever had, but they are all good. I don't think anyone would be disappointed. If you're new to the Mexican pastry world, you're in a for a big treat here. The variety, the colors, the shapes - everything is different. A lot of things may seem new, so my advice is just keep trying everything. Yes, everything. You're supporting a local business, you'll probably like most of them, and you can always go walk 7 or 8 miles to burn off the carbs and sugar. Anyway, my favorite is called "elote", and it's a medium-sweet type of pastry, long and tapered at both ends. Ask for one and see if you don't like it, although be warned you'll get sugar everywhere you eat it. Conchas are another popular one, although I'm not that fond of them. Mantecado, which is like thick bread covered in butter and sugar, is another tasty option. The only downside is that the tortas and burritos are only served in the morning, so if you want them, come early. Otherwise, the pastries are served all day. The parking is pretty easy here, the lot is only medium sized but it's not that busy of a shopping center. read more

This place is awesome. Their tamales are fantastic as are their pastries. Prices are very reasonable and comparable to my favorite Eastside places. We've tried the pork and the chicken tamales. They have Tortas too! They have such a wide variety, and they are fresh! One good thing is that they open super early in the morning which means you can pick things up for the office. Sorry no pictures but I'll update my review this week when I go again. read more

So authentic and amazing pastries. Everyone loved them and all the employees were so kind even though I didn't speak Spanish, they made sure I got exactly what I wanted. It wasn't extremely busy when I went, around 10 am, and still had everything I wanted. read more

I felt like getting some sweet bread for my sweetheart at home. So I decided to YELP it out before I came and found this little bakery on the strip of South San Jose. They had two ladies working, one up in the front and one in the back. Looked like a mom and daughter. The bread is fresh. They have Tamales and the famous Champurrado available and they also make the infamous Mexican Tortas. They were all operating under COVID protocol and masks and distances were required like all of the places in AMERICA. I have been to 4 different places,. they are on my reviews. Pan Rico, Delizas, Rosas, Pink Elephant & this will be #5. Very good. El pan esta muy bueno con un cafecito. Bien rico. read more

Honestly they have the best concha's. Don't trip. Go there and be satisfied forever.

Delicious pan dulche. Amazing tamales. Super kind staff. They have almost any type of Mexican pastry you can think of. The tamales are a good size and delicious. Masa is very moist! They also have lingua, which my son will always choose. Hopefully the owners of the shopping center will make some improvements - better parking lot and update the facades and lighting, because Panderia Gudiño is probably going to continue to bring good business to that center! I wish I knew about it sooner! read more

Everyone there is so friendly and BILINGUAL. The bakery is clean, well lit and has plenty of parking. The bread is the perfect balance of sweetness for me and they have a great selection of items. I'm thankful that they are doing great business on this side of town and look forward to supporting this small business read more

Lady behind counter this morning was EXTREMELY rude! Very impatient. Never coming back.

Things to know - Cash Only - Tamales tend fo sell out in the morning - Breakfast burritos are not served on Sunday - Tortas are not made after 12pm The ladies here are super nice service-wise and just seem like beautiful people. I wasn't the biggest fan of the baked goods I ordered and will have to keep testing, but OMG THE TORTAS. I got both the Carne Asada Torta and the Pork Torta and they were both delicious. I like that the meats were tender, the ingredients melded well, and the plentiful peppers added acidity. Also points for the big avocado cut and no added beans. Taking it togo did make the breads a little mushy, but I didn't end up minding. I'm a fan! read more

I have been on a hunt for a good panaderia since I moved to the Campbell area. I have tried over 10 places being 8 months pregnant and Mexican was no easy task because I'm picky. This place is sooooooo good! The bread is always fresh and the staff always friendly. I did order a frijole torta and it came cold, so now I know to ask for it warmed up. I will be trying the tamales and updating my review read more

Yum! A Panaderia near me! I bought a bunch of pan dulce, empanadas de calabaza and cookies Only half made it home Still fresh at 5pm Only gross thing was they take cash only so I was eating w my dirty money fingers Ew So much for Covid protocol Recommend read more

smell of rat urine coming from the back. there was a lady in the front who looked like she was half asleep and didnt speak English or even try a little so I had to speak and try to understand her. The bread was ok but I couldn't finish once I thought about how nasty the place is literally rat poop on the corner of the walls. I don't think anyone is cleaning at all in there. read more

Service awful. Walked out after 8 mins. Language a barrier to customer service. NOT pleased with being egnored.

The pastries and cookies are amazing here! Fresh and delicious, all the different goodies here perfect. There are many items to choose from and they are all so good!! read more

Riquísimo! Todo esta bien fresco y delicioso. Y bien amables. Food and sweetbread is all so good and fresh here! I love it! read more

Friendly service and a wide variety of fresh pan dulces! Good prices too -- we bought about 6 for $10.

Before you head their way make sure you have cash. It is CASH ONLY. If you happen to have USBank. They have an ATM at the 7/11! It's a bit of an inconvenience but it is worth it. We went first thing in the morning around 7:30AM. It can definitely get expensive, quick. I ordered about (8) pieces of pan dulce, (2) Carne Asada Tortas, (1) Pork Tamale, (1) Chicken Tamale they charge extra for sour cream. It came out to be almost $40.00 The bread was not stale at all. We drove eight hours home and we all loved it! Both tamales were hot and fresh out of the pot. Both super flavorful. I don't recommend the sour cream. They were so good on that chilly morning. The tortas were amazing. I would definitely go back for everything I ordered this first visit regardless of the price. read more

(Im going back and re-reviewing my fave small businesses bc I know this pandemic sucks.) Omg. Yelpers are right. If you want tamales, you really do need to come early!!! Came a couple times around noon and missed it. They do open really early and I love sleeping in, but it is worth it to wake up early to secure the tamales! I am obsessed with their apple and pineapple turnovers. And their conchas. So so so good. Friendly staff and for those who are curious, they're taking proper covid precautions. read more

Please take a moment and pop over to this local gem for; freshly baked breads, pan dulce, bread pudding, amazing cookies, salvadorian cake, fruit empanadas! And yes TAMALES too. You better arrive early for the latter as they sell out of those and all by end of day. What's fantastic about this local icon is- great assortment, wonderful staff, all items baked fresh at 3am. What isn't sold out is then repurposed (90%) into their amazing bread pudding. Trust me, you won't be disappointed. But, bring CASH. All items are very reasonably priced, high quality and ample parking. Call in advance to order (2 min) tamales; cheese and jalepeño, pork or chicken. read more

I absolutely love their tamales! They are big, cheap and flavorful. You have to go early because they sell out quick, oh and they open at 5 AM. Usually by nine they are gone. The only reason I'm giving four stars is because the ladies are not friendly to me when I go in there & I'm not sure why because I'm always cheery even when I go at 5:30 in the morning lol I'm always happy to get some tamales! Don't bother with the chorizo breakfast burrito, it was not good, but the Mexican hot chocolate was! read more
