    The masa just crumbled ugh!!
    Joe R.

    Very kind people but I went to see what the hype was all about with their tamales, I was very disappointed... tamales were dry the meat tasted old the masa was so dry ....

    We made a list of potential tamale spots the evening of December 23, knowing we were cutting it close to find some on Christmas Eve. This was our first stop on December 24, and we're so glad it was! The moment we walked in, we saw the team hard at work in the back, busily making fresh tamales, which immediately gave us hope. We left with 5 dozen tamales in a variety of flavors: chicken, pork, beef, and cheese. While we wish the flavors were labeled a bit better, it didn't take away from the experience. The tamales were fantastic--the masa was light and fluffy, and the meat-to-masa ratio was spot-on. They were a hit with our family on Christmas Day, and we're already planning to return next year. This spot has earned a permanent place in our holiday traditions! Let me know if this works or if you'd like any changes!

    Love this panaderia! It reminds me of the ones I grew up going to. The pandulce is always fresh and delicious!!! We are always greeted when we go in, everyone is so friendly and helpful. If you're looking for authentic pandulce ... go here!! You won't regret it. This weekend I went for concha's to make concha French toast and it came out delicious!

    Conchas and croissant are really good. Parking is a bit of a challenge depending on time of day.

The quality of the ingredients and attention to detail are apparent in every bite and every sip. It is well worth the wait you'll most likely encounter.

We had lunch plans nearby, so grabbed one to go to take home and share with my dad. Ordered a pain au chocolat (chocolate croissant). While it wasn't as fresh 8 hours later (nor did I expect it to be!!!!) it was large, the finish was beautiful and the chocolate high quality. I think if I had eaten it right away, it would have been even better. However $7 is on the high end for a single pastry. Would I come back here for the croissant and/or to try other offerings if I was in the area? yes.

We were done about an hour before our reservation time. We hoped to be accommodated earlier but saw the long line and crowd waiting as we drove by. We decided to run a couple small errands instead. We arrived about 10 minutes before our reservation. It was still busy, but there were not as many people waiting. The hostess was so warm and welcoming. She let us know that the customers at our designated table were almost done and that they will have it ready in just a few minutes. Unfortunately, those customers decided to linger much longer. Thirty minutes later, they were still hanging around. We fully understood that this was not by any fault of the restaurant. We continued to wait patiently. The hostess was very apologetic and was trying to work out a solution which led to the Floor Manager (Karla) getting involved. We were eventually seated at another table, with the option to move should the other table become available. Karla then took the time to apologize for the wait and unfortunate first impression. As we got started with drinks and a pastry for the daughter, the other table opened. The hostess immediately came to move us. It all went smoothly from there. Table service was casual and attentive. We started with the Chocolate Almond Croissant and the Baguette & Bordier Butter. The daughter tried the Iced Matcha Latte. For our entrées -- Shakshuka, Patty Melt and Brioche Eggs Benedict (with salmon). I was eager to try the Potato Gravlax, but it was sold out. :( Everything was so, so delicious! Fresh and flavorful. Lovely presentations. Very good portions. As we were finishing, Karla came to our table again to express her gratitude for our patience and understanding. She gave me her business card with an offer to contact her directly should we need another reservation. On our way out, I stopped to compliment the sweet young hostess for a job well done. Wonderful experience. Beautiful decor. I would give Oh La La 10 stars if I could! We will most certainly be back!

    Sweet Red Peach is cake heaven! A southern style bakery, they serve up a variety of delectable…read moredesserts, including the best red velvet cake in SGV. I originally stopped by to pick up their famous cinnamon roll, which made the lists for top 10 cinnamon rolls in LA County. Unfortunately, they didn't have any cinnamon rolls the two times I stopped by. (I think it had something to do with how their AC is currently out and awaiting repairs). Not wanting to leave empty handed, I decided to get a few slices of cake instead. And boy am I glad I did! So far I've tried their red velvet cake, vanilla cake with strawberry frosting, and a seasonal strawberry cake. The cakes were all rich and on the denser side, and were a cross between moist and crumbly. Each cake also paired exceptionally well with the velvety thick frosting. So the backup plan was a rousing success, as all three cake slices were fabulously indulgent and the perfect treat. ****************** My Ratings: 1 Star: Terrible; just thinking about it makes me angry. 2 Stars: Wasn't a fan so Not likely to return. 3 Stars: Meh. Average. Might return if others drag me. 4 Stars: Yum! Likely to return. 5 Stars: Amazing! Would plan my day around it.

I used to be a cheesecake girl but maybe I haven't been in a while. Is the flavor is good? The banana putting cake has vanilla Wafers on. It has vanilla banana pudding on it. On top of the cheesecake and I think I'll give it a 3.5 star Taste it for yourself, though.

    Delicious! Favorites I've tried so far: frittata brioche sandwich, lemon ricotta dessert,…read moreblackberry pop tart, chicken empanada (kind of buffalo mild chile flavoring mixed with the shredded chicken). They also have a several affordable drink options like coffee and lemonade that I haven't explored yet. Just good to know the setup of the place- there is a window on the corner to order and pay. You do need to stand outside in a line if there is one, but there was shade when I went mid-morning and only 2-3 people ahead of me. you also stand outside to wait for the food to be brought out to you. So it's all completely takeout. You never go inside. But plenty of parking and room to stand. Not really an issue for me but may be a problem if you need to sit or wanted to dine in. I kind of like that no one is allowed inside except the workers. It makes me feel like the food is less likely to be contaminated by people getting close to it or breathing/talking over it like at other coffee shops or bakeries. Everything is out by the window so if customers came inside I could see it being an issue. Would be great to take it to a nearby park and have a picnic.

Every bread i've had here is insanely delicious and perfect. The walnut whole grain sourdough is probably the best bread i've ever had in my life. The sandwich/food menu is pricey, but everything is in 2026--I think we're just not used to it yet. They have a line every morning and sell out every day for a reason.
