The price fluctuates every time. I never know what I'm going to pay always a different price for the same thing. The price gouging might be due to that fact that father was arrested for food stamp/ SNAP fraud a few years back. The way I understand by the arresting agency was he was fined or ordered to pay restitution for about 1,000,000 bucks! I see why they do that crap. read more

Tamales in December aren't the same in July ! No flavor and very little meat ! But gave them two stars for the bread that's always great ! But maybe have to same person that makes the tamales in December make them all year. $16 for 1/2 dozen big disappointment.. read more

Always come here for quick food. Love the pan my favorite is when they have the pumpkin conchas in the fall. I got a pork tamal once and it was a tad bit dry but the breakfast burritos are really good. The wait isn't too bad on the food like 6-8 minutes when it's slow. read more

Hands down my new favorite spot for Mexican bread. Everything is always fresh and delicious. The concha's are huge and can be shared. The pumpkin empanadas have a prefect sweetness to them. My boys like the cookies. Let's not forget they sell tamales. The masa has a perfect texture and their chicken is yummy. I've tried the jalapeno cheese ones too. My tolerance for chili has gone down with age lol. So it was a little too spicy for me but equally as delicious as the chicken. They do have a taqueria on the other side. I have yet to try the food but I've seen lots of people coming in and out. read more

So I went in with my husband and we ordered a combination plate as well as some birria tacos, we ordered yada yada my bf overheard the girl in the back talking smack about us not speaking spanish but we did answer all her question that were in spanish in english, I don't know how she would've sat there and smacked talked us even tho we understood it, so my husband gave her a dirty look and she quit and just kept on working... we go to the car to eat and realized she didn't give me my consome and that's when my husband told me what she said, so I go back inside already upset and when I told her she forgot she just laughs and said "I know" well when I got my consome I had told her it's not very professional to talk smack about someone in spanish and not think we don't understand what ur saying, she just again laughs in my face and says "oh okay" and I storm out... get to my car my husband tells me she forgot his flour tortillas now i'm even more pissed and go back inside and tell her you forgot them and this lady tells me "for what" I don't know girl ur the one forgetting orders so I go to the lady who's at the bakery (sweet lady I loved her) and tell her the whole story and she tells me to point her out, I did got my tortillas and they were the wrong ones I asked for she gives me corn i'm already done at this point going back and forth and soooo upset.... I have never been treated like this and i've read multiple other reviews that say the same about this lady too busy talking and not giving right orders, she should be fired very unprofessional and I will NEVER come back here with her discriminatory behavior and bad attitude read more

So much sweet breads to choose from! Smelled so good inside. They also had a self serve warmer with different types of tamales. They had pork in red sauce, chicken in green sauce and queso with green chili? They're $2.50 a pc, I tried both chicken & pork. They were good but it was missing something I just can't put my finger on it. It wasn't as moist as I wanted it to be but not bad. I asked if they had salsa for it but it's 50cent a pc or $3 for a pint. I ordered their red sauce with was good in flavor but not sauce enough. The green salsa was just sour and plain. I put in an order for a breakfast burrito, I got all the meats which is an extra charge. It came with beans , eggs and potatoes. The cook asked if I wanted onions and cilantro In it which of course yes. The burrito was massive and it was juicy and delicious! Great little spot to get your fix. You can also buy meats there by the pound there's a little butcher section in the back. read more

Best place to get fresh pan dulce, they were about 1.25 a piece but that varies. The pans are always moist and made fresh. I have been here many times and they never disappoint. This is a self service bakery where you get tongs and gather the pastries that you like. Nice customer service at check out . They also have really good tamales at 2.25 a piece and next door is an attached taqueria. My go to place always for pan dulce The tamales are 10/10 for size and flavor 2.25 a piece and I believe they do have deals if you plan on getting more than a dozen. I end up just buying the tamales here for thanksgiving and Christmas because they are better than what I can make myself read more

I ordered two Menudo (large cups w lid) for $28. The staff at the register were on point and attentive, but the woman behind the counter where they prepare the take out food was slow, vacuous, and talked the whole time to the other food preparer. Didn't even bother to tell us it will be a while longer as she ignored us the entire time except to tell us to pay at the bakery. She never mentioned that you have to bring back the receipt w a stamped paid on it to retrieve the order or even how much it was. The Menudo was a giant disappointment. it was lukewarm and the most greasy, oily bright red base that was god awful. I had to use dawn dish wash soap and really scrub it off when some spilled on the sink. The meat (pork) were like squares of skin that was just chewy. Lastly no hominy in the Menudo. Nada. I would highly advise getting Menudo elsewhere. I cannot speak to the tacos and burritos, I was actually recommended to this business to try them. Unfortunately, it was Mother's day and my 98 year old mother wanted Menudo. read more

Authentic Mexican food bakery and food to go. Had the Birria quesso tacos. 5 star! The consumè was great! Will be having again soon!

If you're picky about your pan dulce like I am, this place is absolutely worth it. This is by far my favorite panaderia in Fresno. Fresh, authentic, and truly satisfying. They have a huge selection to choose from. In addition to the pan, they have tamales, burritos and tortas for take out. They are all delicious. Their staff is friendly and it is always clean. read more

Great pan de dulce and can always rely on a delicious cup of champurrado. I have yet to sample their food but looks and smells great so I'm sure I won't be disappointed. read more

The best Mexican pan in town hands down!!! The crown bread is yummy all of the bread is just so soft. I've been here four days in a row as we can't get enough. They are always very nice and service is always great! read more

Food is great, staff are polite and friendly. Inside the building was a little stuffy but that just means they're all hard at work! The location is a little sketch but I'm from the area so I'm used to it lol. All in all I love getting the sweet breads here and this is my first time trying their breakfast burritos and I'm impressed with the size! I got the chorizo; good flavor! read more

My go-to place for pan dulce and other yummy pastries! As a gringa who didn't grow up with all the delicious panadería treats, I often ask what something is, and they are always kind and willing to answer my questions! Delicious warm tamales to go as well! read more

I had called to place a order just for them to put me on hold for 10 mins, I had called while I was on my way i get here to place my order in a empty restaurant looks like they had me on hold for no reason and after placing my order it's been 20 mins and the workers are just talking and taking a long time to make the order very disappointed in this. Looks like the workers are just yaping and not working not professional at all... very disappointing. read more

12/23/23 Getting lunch for today & breakfast for tomorrow! Christmas Eve will be here before you know it! Ham breakfast burrito ordered. Chicken Torta ordered for lunch too!!The worker was kind and said it would be ready in 15. I went in to get it. It was crazy busy! HUGE bakery with all different Mexican foods and Mexican music playing. Heavily Spanish speaking. It was packed! Luckily, there was a younger guy that spoke English at the register. Paid for the order and he was kind and directed me to go to the other side to pick it up. Did and shortly later it was handed over with a smile. Lunchtime! Chicken Torta split and it was really delicious! Fresh and tasty! Even better with the hot sauce! Largev pieces of chicken in it. Mother said her half was one of the best she's had! Good service from the young guy that helped me and Great chicken torta! Highly recommended! I'll add the breakfast burrito tomorrow morning. 12/24/23! Merry Christmas Eve everyone! Breakfast burrito split and my half was Reilly delicious! Even better with their hot sauce! Good service & Great breakfast burritos! Highly recommended there too! ;)~ read more

While working I got lunch with the team member I was working with and we had food from El Ranchito Bakery brought in. I ordered the carnitas and their flavor was great. Flavorful and plentiful would be putting it lightly. It also came with tortillas to make some tacos. The amount of food was great and the savory pieces of the carnitas made you keep eating . It was beyond enjoyable and I look forward to my next trip and eating. The same plate or even one of their burritos . read more

Best place they just remodeled and they are super genuine people! i been a customer for a long time now

So, the flavor of the tamales (green chicken and cheese and chile) is not bad. It's just pure masa and very little filling. I used my lunch break to curb my tamale craving only to be pretty disappointed by this. Will be back to try the other menu options and bread tho, I won't knock em just based on that. Just some constructive criticism to hopefully improve the tamal to filling ratio read more

A gem for anyone who loves authentic pan dulce and tamales! The baked goods are fresh, flavorful, and reasonably priced, making it easy to stock up without breaking the bank. We also tried the asada fries on the restaurant side, and they were just okay--nothing special. But aside from that, a solid spot for good food at great prices. Definitely worth a visit for the bakery alone! read more

Delicious pastries and very friendly service. I was amazed at just how clean it was. They are definitely on my go to list.

Just moved here from the Bay Area & was in search for some good tamales. I stumbled across this place online & I'm so glad I did! Their tamales are amazing! They have Rajas (jalapeño & cheese), red pork, green chicken & corn 10000% recommend! read more

This place make really good Mexican food. I got a Al Pastor Torta and it was huge. The tacos were awesome also. I will go back. read more

Terrible customer service. Went in for a cake and got the run around from the two cashier's. The first couldn't help me and the second one said I needed to wait till she rung up all the people behind me. There was 7 people behind me. I left without a cake. Will not be coming back. read more

When I go to the liquor store next door I always have to stop in and get a pan dulce from here. Their breads are really delicious but if you're going to try their hot food I would say to go for the tamales. They have 3 different types of tamales, red beef, green pork, and jalapeño cheese. They're so rich and delicious with a coffee early in the morning. But wait, there's more! There is also a carniceria inside! They sell salsa, fresh cheese, lunch meats and everything else you need to go along with a fresh warm bolio bread. When I visited I ordered a pound of cooked al pastor and fried chicharron. I have to be honest tho, I was not a fan. The chicharron was old; I was so disappointed. The al pastor was very greasy. The parking lot is sort of narrow but you can park diagonally on either side. Most people who frequent are Spanish speakers but everyone working does speak English. read more

Amazing dirty looking little hole in the wall shhhhhh! Okay so fresh pastry on one side and food on the other side (tacos, burritos, tortas...etc) very good I highly recommend. Last time here I just grabbed 2 carnitas tacos and it was the most perfect carnitas I've ever had, so soft inside that it went beyond falling apart to melting in my mouth mmmmm they don't skimp on the meat either! read more

Unhealthy Environment Alert On September 5, 2024, at 5:30 AM, the lady who assisted my son and me did not change her gloves before handling our purchase of bolillo. My son noticed that, although she used tongs to pick up the bread roll, she touched it with her gloves while placing it in the bag. He politely asked her to replace the bolillo, but she became upset. She explained that she had been wearing the gloves inside the store and had even brought a bucket of clean water while wearing them. I chose not to mention that my son is a doctor and knows that the same gloves should not be used for both handling food and processing payment. We will not be returning to this establishment. Please be mindful of your health when visiting similar places. read more

This place is infested with roaches!!! The food is good don't get me wrong but the amount of roaches that crawl on the counter, in the food, on the ceiling is disgusting. They need to hire an exterminator to get ride of those pests. The sooner the better because this business has potential the pan Dulce and food is good but not healthy when insects are crawling around. read more

My new favorite panadería for bakery and tamales! The bread is soft and flavorful. The tamales are moist with a good ratio of meat and masa.

You can't beat the price and the convenience. They are busy, and fast, and the flavor of the taquitos "con todo" was awesome. (Plate for $4-6) It's like visiting your tia's kitchen... don't expect clean... but it's gonna hit the spot, or not... depending on the day. I say support this local gem. There are not many places left like it. read more
