    Takis, Concha, and custard pastry.
    Danielle P.

    I live down the block from here, and you can smell the sweet buttery goodness down the street. I was a little apprehensive checking it out, but my tienda Spanish works for me when I go to local restaurants and the supermarket. I got a concha, a turnover-like pastry with custard, and a bag of Takis (OMG love me some Takis!). The concha was delightful, even after visiting in the late afternoon, usually not a great time to get bakery goods. I had a concha once at Food Bazaar on Junction, my first, and it was so, so sad. But then I guess it was like comparing a fresh bakery roll or pastry to a packaged one. I will definitely be visiting Vallecito more often!

    Best thing to do is get whatever just came out of the oven and I swear you won't regret it. It's cash only and full of beautiful breads and sweets usually not labeled but hey I am cool with that. Today I got 3 breads and a water for 4.50 I got my usual favourite with coconut on the rim and that custard in the Center that makes me want to cry it's so good. Honestly even though it depends on the day when the bread isn't warm or made in the hour I still love it and if I want that same mouth feel I wait till I get home wet my hand sprinkle some water drops on it and microwave it for like 20 seconds and it's like fresh out of the oven. Bottom line don't miss it !

    Oh my Cono (cone)! A flaky Mexican pastry made in the shape of an ice cream cone with vanilla custard in the middle. I grew up with these when my mom and dad (when they were together) used to bring some back from TJ, Mexico. Since I moved here to NYC in 1999 I only had my memories and visits back home to Escondido, CA to be with family to bring back that oh so yummy taste in my mouth. I can't think of the name of the bakery in Escondido, but if it's off Grand Ave and next to the 7-11 that's been there forever. I had a couple good ones and bad ones at Leon Bakery in the city, but with some research by asking local Mexican food restaurants I found Vallecito Bakery in Elmhurst/Jackson Heights (right off the 90th St stop of the 7) and its as close as I found to the real thing from back home in Esco. They even have chocolate dipped Conos in there sometimes. Although as you can imagine, some things shouldn't be messed with. Some say the Cono was one of the reasons we ended up buying our first co-op in the Heights. Just this past weekend, I washed my car with the self service $2 carwash at the Mobile station and walked across the street to have my cono to make sure I was going to have a good day. Thanks Lord! So the other things worth mentioning, since it looks like I'm going to be the first to review this location is their good selection of other Mexican breads/pastries, a selection of chicharrones and in case you wanted to pick up Mexico's version of bingo....La Loteria...in regular and jumbo size. So to recap I would say that I would give their conos 5 stars, their location itself 3 stars, so hence the 4 stars overall.

There was a tray of Tee-Doy decided not to buy any of them because they were all hard. Got 2 of the fish sandwiches and 2 of the chicken sandwiches. The prices for both sandwiches and bun have jumped up since January. I stopped here to get items for family and relatives/friends. Not impressed with their chicken sandwiches for they were hard and there is tendon in one other chicken sandwich has area that was not edible. The quality definitely not what it use to be here. There were lots of seats and tables for patrons to sit. Notice less foot traffic at this store.

I decided to try their Coconut Pandan cake which was enjoyable except for the jelly they had in the middle. The cake itself was pretty moist and the cream had a nice Pandan flavor. The Portuguese egg tart is what you would expect from one of these bakery's, very basic but it was nice and flaky. The milk tea was also okay, we asked for less sugar so it was not too sweet. We also got the sesame mochi to go and this was delicious! Definitely the best thing I bought from this bakery. The sesame paste was nice and strong but not too gritty and the mochi was super soft. I have to go back to grab another when I get the chance!

We came by the day before Mother's Day, so they had pre decorated Mother's Day cakes. You can also place an order. Service is quick and friendly. We initially planned on getting a Strawberry Shortcake, as that seemed to be the cake to get. However, we opted for the Cheesecake, because we were able to add fresh strawberries (and whipped cream) on top! I'm not a fan of whipped cream, so I avoided that, but everyone seemed to enjoy. It had a good creamy texture and was not too sweet. The strawberries were indeed fresh. The pound cake was soft and airy. The vanilla flavor comes through. I will have to try the Marbled version next time! Note: Cash Only! A regular customer ordered the tiramisu cake; said it was the best cake ever, so will have to try that next time!

A friend recommended it to me, and I've already ordered two birthday cakes from here. The tiramisu cake was absolutely delicious, honestly one of the best I've ever had. I didn't even know you could customize a tiramisu cake since it's usually served the traditional way, but they made it exactly how I wanted. As someone who loves tiramisu, this really stood out. I also ordered a strawberry shortcake, and it was just as impressive. The buttercream was so good , light, flavorful, and not overly sweet. Everyone loved it, and there wasn't a single slice left. The owner's son (I believe) was super helpful, he really takes the time to understand what you want and brings it to life perfectly. I've also tried their croissants, which are huge and delicious, and the hero bread is excellent too. Just a heads-up: they only accept cash.I'll definitely be ordering all my cakes from here moving forward!
