Customer Reviews & Testimonials

"The conchas here never disappoint—always soft, never dry, with that perfect crunchy sugar topping. But you haven't lived until you try the Payaso. That pink frosting and cinnamon bread is pure East LA nostalgia."

"My grandmother used to take me here on Saturday mornings in the 1970s. I now bring my own kids here for pan de agua and champurrado. The quality and recipes haven't changed in fifty years."

"The cuerno de mantequilla is incredible—buttery, flaky, and golden brown. Pair it with a cup of hot Café de Olla and you have the best breakfast in all of Los Angeles."

"Hands down the best Pan de Agua in Los Angeles. The crust has a real crunch and the inside is soft as a cloud. We buy them by the dozen for family barbecues."

"We have purchased our Rosca de Reyes from El Gallo for three generations. The candied fruits, sugar paste crust, and soft bread are unrivaled."

"The marranitos taste like real piloncillo and canela, not artificial brown sugar. Soft and cakey, exactly how Mexican gingerbread pigs should be."
