My first time here. I have a weird fetish about little pigs, marranitos. If you know, you know. They are a molasses cookie with a little touch of ginger. The best part of my visit was that they have two sizes. My wife says that they are an acquired taste. They are good with Tea, Coffee, hot chocolate, champurado or just plain milk. Enjoy. read more

It's a bakery shop located at the corner spot of a shared plaza with limited parking. They carry a large variety of bakery and pastry stuff, and the staff working here are very friendly. I've tried their plain bread and clown cookie, not the best taste but they offer very affordable prices, which cost less than $10 all together. read more

Monday afternoon was the first time I'd been back here in a while and it was literally the first time I have EVER gotten soft concha's. I don't know if they had just delivered or what but I never had a concha at this location as fresh as I did on Monday. I stopped coming here because they are always hard and I never knew anything different until I discovered another location that blew me away. To get my conchas now I drive all the way to Pasadena to Chapala because they are unmatched, at times hot and fresh out of the oven. But if this El Pavo continues to have soft concha's I might return and not have to go so far. read more

Food - the BEST place for Rosa de Reyes or Kings Day Bread, a Mexican tradition to eat on January 6 (twelve days after Christmas). Service was good and helpful. Ambience is a little hole-in-the-wall bakery but Clean. We have tried so many different bakeries for Kings Day Bread and find this to be the best yet authentic compared to Mexico City. read more

I've been here late in the day and the Mexican pastries have been stale possibly from the day before. Luckily this time I came before noon and the bread was soft and fresh so I'm giving them four stars instead of three. They have all the classic Mexican pastry staples from elotes to conchas and empanadas. They also have a little selection of groceries like milk and tostadas (pericos the best tostadas). They have a small fridge of cakes as well I'm sure you can preorder custom cakes. Definitely recommend this bakery especially since there's not that many Mexican bakeries in the Glendale and Atwater areas. read more

El Pavo Bakery brings back wonderful memories of enjoying sweet bread and coffee, whether in the morning or at night when gathering with loved ones and friends. These Hispanic sweet breads are made to perfection, just as I remember them. With so many varieties, from hard to soft and from no filling to various fillings like cheese, sweet cream, fruit, and more, it's a delight to walk in, grab a tray and tongs, and pick whatever you want. The nostalgia is strong as I recall accompanying my mother to get bread for coffee when I was a child. The service is quick and efficient. The staff packages your bread with a great attitude. The bakery can get crowded at times, depending on when you arrive, but there's always plenty for everyone. read more

It's a nice bakery. I went for día de los muertos (day of the dead) to buy pan de muerto. Picked up some pan dulce and it was all delicious! read more

Fresh bakery items. Typical, meaning DELICIOUS, Mexican bakery. Service is fine. Can't wait to go back!

I used to come to this place with my parents when I was young, best pan dulce in the world. Now that I'm grown, I came back to try the bread again. I work early so I get there at the time the place says it opens, 5:30am. The 2 lady's the work there, arrive at exactly 5:30. Nothing is ready, coffee is not done till maybe 5;45, bread is also just putting on display. Can't come here no more before work, or I'll be late waiting on them to get everything ready. If the place says it opens at 5:30, the place should have everything ready at 5:30 when it opens. read more

I go here for the "elotes" which is the sweet bread with sprinkled sugar on top and cinnamon flavored. I've had these at so many other places, but this one is tops! Every time I take them to work people come up to me and ask where I got them from. My husband likes the croissants, but my faves are the elotes. They also have empanadas and tamales if ever you need them for a party or potluck. read more

Each concha is $1 pricey but ok I got some they were stale , hard , and old! Never again!

The bread is not bad and I would recommend. But I would not recommend the tamales. They lacked flavor and needed more spices and salt. The masa was slightly undercooked. The service is adequate. read more

I have been ordering bday cakes from here for years now. I skipped one or 2 but for my son we decided to buy two cakes. I ordered them with solid colors/ plain and I ordered the paws/bones and paw patrol logos from Etsy. I just put them on myself. I was able to save so much $$$. The 8" was chocolate raspberry and the 10" was tres leches with fresh strawberries. All for $70. Where other places were charging minimum of $140. Great place to order from. The only thing is that they gave me a hard time when I asked to place them on top as a layered cake. They wanted to charge me $250 so my advice just get them separate and pay $70. The best tasting one was the tres leches with strawberries. read more

I would come all the time when craving a nice concha, well I picked up a dozen mini ones to take to my coworkers the next morning. As I was chewing I felt one of the worse things you can feel while eating food someone else made...a hair. Not only was that gross but now I look like a moron for bringing in pan that I claimed was amazing only to find a hair in it. Never again read more

Was just at this location and let me just say that the customer service I got when I called the Cesar Chavez location earlier vs the in person at this location did not match! Cesar Chavez location the girl was friendly and helpful even though I called with questions in regards to the Glendale location. Glendale location employees are rude! 3 females all seemed to have a tone when talking to ppl as well as attitudes. The customers already inside and I ended up having a friendly conversation and the topic that brought us to that conversation was the rude customer service. Also what's the deal with the phone number they have online. Tried calling earlier multiple times throughout the day and it would go straight to a voicemail message stating that their voicemail wasn't set up. Also...Anyone else remember their small roscas being bigger and better looking than what I took a picture of? I know it's been 2 yrs since I've purchased one at this bakery but this is a first for terrible service and shitty quality. Definitely won't be coming back read more

They have delicious pastries and Mexican hot chocolate here, and everyone who works here is nice and helpful

Every Sunday when I go to my Mom's for Sunday Breakfast we usually have Menudo from Mi Lupitas ( GREAT MENUDO), along side that we have pan Dulce. Well this morning I wanted to do something sweet for the office and bring in a treat, but not the usual bagels or donuts so I decided to go to El Pavo on my way to work. I forgot how much I love this place, walking in it took me back to my childhood memories when I would ask my mom can I go with you so I could choose my own pan Dulce. There's nothing fancy about the bread, it's just good sweet bread with real flour and wheat and milk and eggs and no "healthy choice" bread. I also forgot you could also purchase cakes and chorizo and they had cafe tambien. I forgot sometimes the no frills bakeries are the ones that remind you of your childhood. read more

Two stars because at least it's a latin bakery. But it's not really a bakery. It's just a store. Baking isn't really done In store. A truck unloads the bread around noon on weekdays & 9am Saturday's. THEY OVERCHARGE. No receipt. If a receipt is included their method is to do the math in their head & charge an overall. You are unaware of how much a piece & quantities. Las dos estrellas son por qué por lo menos es una "panadería" latina. Pero no hacen el pan ahí. Llegan a entregar el pan a medio día entre semana y 9am los sábados. Cobran lo que no es y de más. Rara la vez incluyen recibo. Hacen la cuenta de los piezas en la cabeza. Ingresan en número en el cajero. El recibo no incluye las piezas y a cuánto la pieza. read more

I came around 7 am to try this place out. It's always a risk being near opening time because you can't guarantee if you'll get yesterday's bread or first pick at today's batch. I like to hope all places give the fresh batch. Much respect to the places that let you buy the older bread at a discount. I bake conchas at home so know that after a few days the taste does start getting stale. The workers there were fine, informed me about COVID procedures. The ok rating is more for the bread. I can tell the concha had a good flavor but I could also tell it was a little stale. Bummer my search for good pan dulce in the valley continues. read more

Been coming here with my parents since I was a child now I bring my kids here for our pan dulce fix

Tres leches cake was a hit at birthday and the chicharrones on Saturday we're great just what we needed. Very nice and friendly service

I didn't know they had this other location in Glendale, I was surprised! Same delicious fresh pastries. Due to Covid they are only allowing a few customers at a time, but the Conchas are sooooo worth the wait. The employees were friendly and very helpful they serve the bread for you. Very clean establishment. read more

I've been going to this bakery since I was a kid. Recently my parents and I have been going to a different location of this chain, but we were nearby this one on San Fernando RD. yesterday so we decided to go in. We checked inside to make sure there was no more than 4 people since that is how it is at the other location we go to. There was only one man being helped inside so my parents and I went in. We asked if we could get a tray to serve ourselves bread or if they would be helping us out. One of the ladies working there told us in a rude manner that we had to wait. We assumed that once the two ladies who worked there helped the man who was already paying at the register, they'd help us out. But, soon after two customers walked in and the lady who told us to wait proceeded to help them out immediately. We didn't understand and felt silly just waiting there as though we were invisible or something. The woman at the cash register rudely looked at us and said that there could only be four customers inside. The man who was done paying said he'd step out but she continued to look at us even though we got there before the other two customers they were helping out. It was rude and it made us feel uncomfortable as the women were being arrogant and rude making it seem like it was our fault that we didn't see that there were already three people inside when we actually got there before these other two customers who had walked in after us. It's not a big place and every other store I've gone to during COVID-19, the people working there are accurately taking into account how many people are inside. It was not our fault that they denied to serve us and not pay attention to the amount of customers inside so that they could then in turn treat us poorly. Needless to say, we immediately left after not being served, ignored, and treated poorly. I will not be visiting this establishment ever again. I would give this place 0 stars if I could. read more

This is a good bakery compared to a lot of other Mexican bakeries in L.A. I've read some of the reviews and wonder why some people are giving them such harsh critiques . Nothing compares to fresh baked bread from Mexico but then again, what does. I will say that I have not tried the cakes, only the sweet bread. Please note that the bread is made at another location as this is a chain. True, the employees are not the warmest but I just go there for the bread. If you want a complete experience, along with a higher price tag, go to Monarca's Bakery, which has really good bread! Over the years I've noticed that the variety of breads has decreased but maybe that's because the clientele keeps buying the same type of breads? Give it a try. read more

First and last time buying tamales at this location. No flavor and old in texture. Had to trash them.

If i could give them a zero i would. DONT EVER ORDER CAKES FROM THIS PLACE! I order a Barbie cake for my niece's birthday the lady who took my order said to send her a picture & the cake would be just like the picture. I went to pick up the cake 30 min before the party & they gave me a cake that instead of Barbie it looks like Fiona. The color of the entire picture is greenish. I'm so mad now I'm stuck with this cake don't have time to get another one. The attendant didn't even apologize she said to call the secretary on Monday. read more

Good little spot to get your quick sweet bread fix. Don't go in there expecting to have a conversation with the employees they don't really care to talk lol ... But again not a bad little spot read more

I just love all the bread they have. I live in Hollywood and go all the way to Glendale for it!

It's a small business with great service and even better food. I was in and out in 5 minutes and all the pan was fresh. Highly recommended

Thank you to the owner Andrew for the great customer service! He went out of his way to have some LA Dodger conchas made for me. They were amazing and a big hit at the office! read more

You'd think for being a latino bakery in Glendale that they would put effort. Expensive stale bread that doesnt look fresh, it looks clean and smells of laundry detergent inside due to the coin laundry next to it. There was no warm greeting upon entering and the place looked dead. Sad because it was my first time here, this is not a place to take your abuelita too read more

I give this Mexican Bakery 3 stars because the bread is not all that great, plain and simple. That is a tab bit harsh BUT it's because I've been all over places and I have tasted some of the best Mexican Bakeries. But this place is great for where it's at. I'm just being picky and mean :\ there aren't a lot of options but those limited options are either hit or miss. I love conchas....who doesn't? These are hard conchas, I don't like that very much unless I have milk or coffee to dunk them in. Overall this place is mediocre but still good (I'm confusing I know) I will return in hopes of more options... I just gave this place another star because I felt bad giving them 3 stars. After all I am Mexican in search of great bread. I have to support my kind. Hehe. read more

Nice selection of breads and cookies (and for a previous reviewer, El Pavo does have the tasty pig cookies). Last year we ordered a delicious pan de muertos for Day of the Dead. Usually nice and fresh with a good selection, but I have been a few "off" times when the selection is lacking. Well priced, friendly staff, clean establishment. read more

Pan Dulce, bolillos so fresh and soft even after the next day definitely found my Panaderia of choice.

2 stars because their bread is alright. Funny thing is they don't post their prices, i think they make up the prices as they go at the register. 6 breads cost me 8 dollars. Vallarta has their bread 5 for 3 dollars. Will not return read more

Been coming here for some months now, since I discovered it. Today the woman working stole my money. First if all she charged me $8.70 at least that's wat I understood. I bought 6 breads yes 6 three if which were the same. I understand some are more expensive but this means$5.70 were on three breads. I have her 2 $5, she gave me 30¢ back. It wasn't until I got back that I realized I was missing a dollar. Hope it makes her rich! read more

Only one star. Place and bread is great buttt!!!!!! What I hate its the bad atittude of the lady in the register .

Ahhhh...Childhoood memories!!! I have been eating this delicious pan dulce since I was a liitle girl! Im so happy this bakery is still around! I always crave it and always load up my tray whenever I go with my boyfriend! All the bread is yummy! This location is clean and the women that work here are very nice! I tried their tamales but didnt like them because they didnt have that spicy kick I always like in tamales. read more
