Great food, great service. I recommend the Guatemalan tamal and the beef torta. Looking fwd to returning.

My first visit to this very authentic Mexican Bakery. The assortment of both sweet & savory items was extensive. The girls were very helpful in picking the perfect Tres Leche cake for my party. It looked great and tasted delicious. I also got a guava empanada....loved it. I'll be back. read more

In the times were in where the coronavirus is everywhere and the baker doesn't wear his mask. I've gone in there many times and the baker doesn't wear his mask while he is making bread or prepping tamales and I brought it up to management and the manager was so unprofessional she said that she's not there to take care of every employee. And I told her, aren't you the manager, isn't that your job to make sure all your employees are working safe to keep your customers safe? She responded NO. They lost a customer with me. read more

I stopped by on my way to work to grab a few items so we can munch on them later at the office. I bought a cheese danish, cream cheese & jalapeno pastry, and two tamales. The tamales were good but not the best I've had. I shared the pastries with my co-workers and they really liked them. The cheese danish was a little too sweet for me. read more

Bread was good and fresh but wish they had more variety. Service was great, clerk was friendly.

Have order two huge cakes from this amazing place I couldn't have been happier with the presentation of the cakes and the flavors are beyond amazing so so tasty and not overly dry or moist I felt both cakes were a very good balance of texture and taste. They will work with you on last minute cakes. Price is very fair. They don't work with fondant I believe is what I was told but that's not a big concern for me. You must give this bakery a try if your looking for a special cake. Lots of flavors to pick from. read more

Tres leches chocolate cake The chocolate they use is the same one they put on dipped ice cream or choco-bananas if you know what that is. The cake was moist and delicious!! Best cake I have tasted that was chocolate. Definitely worth a buy!! Cheesecake The cheesecake was decent. Not the best, but it also wasn't too sweet. It does taste like it was made in house. The bottom had a cooked crust not graham crackers or crust. The jam on top wasn't good, it had a sticky, plain taste nor did I eat the strawberry. If you take it off then you'll be good. Customer service The girls that work there are very friendly and will answer or do whatever they can to help you or decorate your cake. They help everyone equally and have a fair system. They sell a lot of on dulce and mini cakes. read more

My uncle and I used to come here often to grab our tamales. I really appreciated this place and kept coming back. The last couple times I've been it's just been a weird experience as far as service. I came in today to grab my last fix from this spot before I move out of Long Beach- I rolled out of bed and figured catching the bus would be easy- I only brought so much cash so I had to ask a couple questions and buy the cake on a separate purchase. I wasn't intentionally being difficult I'm just on a budget lol The woman with the dark hair and heavy eyeliner was so incredibly rude to me it made me almost uncomfortable to be there anymore- I've been a server and I've worked in a bakery in Long Beach off Anaheim I get it. But I was genuinely being kind and respectful to these girls. I'm very disappointed in the service. I don't know if it's because I looked like I just rolled out of bed because I did, or if I asked one too many questions but to top it off I feel like they short changed me? Maybe I didn't see the taxes? I'm confused how the total was 16 dollars and some change but I got 1.80 back. And then I bought a little cake cup and she said it was 4.50 but I was charged 5.45? I don't understand. To top it off the tamales were disappointing with too much masa this time around. Overall bummed- I really wanted to make it a point to come back before I move out of town and it was just awful and left a bad taste in my mouth. read more

This was not my first time visiting Marilus. In fact this is one of many. Marilus is usually my indulgence I reward myself after a very long week of work. The pastries are delicious...but the tamales.. oh my. The best chicken, pork and cheese tamales in Long Beach. I've been everywhere in long beach and no one IMO can touch Marilus. What I love about Marilus is I can walk in with $25 and feed my family. I also love that they are open at 430 am. P.S if you want the yummy tamales you better go early or you'll have to wait till the next day. read more

their security company wrongfully towed my car. I bought a concha and a torta and they still towed my car even though the entire parking lot was empty and my car was just their for a little bit. I even asked the lady and she said it was ok to park. I am very disappointed. Now I am down $450 during the holiday time and no one is helping me. The owner of the building and the security company are crooks. Stay away and don't park here or go to any of the businesses in the shopping center. read more

Me gusta mucho la variedad de este local y porque negar muy buen sabor! Había dejado de visitarlos porque incrementaron los precios exageradamente , iniciaron subiéndolos precios pero el pan tenía un tamaño considerable! Ahora dejaron los precios por lo alto y bajaron el tamaño del pan. Pero el día de hoy me atrevo a dejar una review porque lo he visitado nuevamente y el servicio fue muy incomodo, al parecer las muchachas estaban de mal humor. Tuve un servicio con muy mala actitud. read more

Looks are deceiving‍ My neighbor said this place had good sweets and I was looking for a bakery and didn't want to spend a lot of money. I decided to give them a try and the service was GREAT from the moment I walked in. I showed them a picture of what I wanted and they said they could do it with the exception of the the golf cart and clubs(I ordered those on Amazon). Long story short this cake was a hit, EVERYONE raved about the cake. One guest said it was fluffy and the jelly filling was the best she's had. The cupcakes were also a hit, everyone said how good they were. I'm happy to say that I will be ordering my cakes here from now on. Thank you for doing an awesome job!!!!! read more

I did visit it last year for Guatemala tamales they are so good and I will this year again I highly recommend this place .

I found this place on Yelp a few days ago and decided to check it out. I needed a cake for a coworkers birthday and I wanted to try one of their Tres Leches! I was immediately greeted when I walked in and the girl behind the counter asked if I needed any help. I picked out a cake and told her that I had never tried tres leches before and she even gave me a free sample slice for myself! Great customer service and the cake I bought was delicious! I will be back to try some of their other pastries! read more

Ive been coming here for like 5 years, Nadia usually takes my order over the phone. i have never been disappointed in their 3 leches cakes - they're sooo good. I came 2 weeks ago and had a cake made and the girl told me there's a new baker - and i was soooo disappointed in my cake. I asked for a vanilla, strawberry filling 3 leches with fruit inside and i got a strawberry cake, no 3 leches or fruit. I was soooooo disappointed and so were my guests since they're used to the 3 leches i usually bring. I hope this was a once time mistake. read more

Marilu's Bakery, Marilu's Bakery, Marilu's Bakery! This place simply rocks. It has amazing natural fruit smoothies. Mexican and Guatemalan style tamales. They have tons of cakes and flans and quesadillas (the baker y kind) to choose from. Every thing is REALLY good! And the PRICES are Simply unbeatable. The other day I had the Guatemalan style Chicken Tamale. Out of this world! Here they have a Crumb cake that's twice as big and as good and the one you'll pay $3.50 for $1. A DOLLAR! If you live in the Long Beach area you HAVE to check this place out ! read more

Such variety! Such choices! And such friendly service! My boyfriend were hunting for something sweet after our dinner of burgers, fries and beers, and, as usual, Yelp! came to the rescue. This place is just a few minutes from our apartment (depending on traffic in downtown Long Beach, of course), and it wasn't hard to find. In fact I drive by this place fairly often on my way to work in the morning. The area within which it is situated leaves much to be desires, but that's not this place's fault, after all! When you walk in you are greeted by the aroma of sugar and butter and my knees nearly buckled. I sniffed out the tres leches cake at once and demanded that the woman behind the counter give me a corner piece! Actually I asked her very nicely and she obliged. I hate that I have such a sweet tooth, but I can't help it. The tres leches cake was just as I was hoping it would be. I had never even had tres leches cake before last week, and now I've had it four times. OOPS. I will DEFINITELY be back. I want to try that other cake that looked like tres leches cake. It was all flaky and yummy and dangerous looking... read more

Just came to the bakery hoping to pick up a last minute cake to-go for a birthday. Mind you this is a cake for an adult. Immediately their spongebob cake caught my eyes.They did have other cakes that would be perfect for an adult. But the spongebob cake was so unique I couldn't resist but getting that one. When I brought the cake home everyone loved the design. The cake was extremely moist. The most perfect tres leches cake practically overflowing with milk. I like this bakery for the convenience of just being able to-go get a last minute cake. On top of that the cake was delicious. read more

A wonderful little bakery in the Long Beach area that has a fantastic champurrada (which is like a hot-chocolate but WAY better). The selection of cookies and breads is not large, but what they do produce is the best I have tasted in the area by far. The cream-filled cones and pastry items are very good as well, not too much shortening like the other local bakeries, it actually tastes like there is some cream in the napoleon and the cones. The filled tarts are nice, in that the filling is fairly standard, but the dough and crust is way better than the local competition. Whenever I am in town, I try my best to give this place a check-in to pick up a couple of items to quench my passion for decent Mexican pastry items. read more

I don't know who hires the girls that work here but man do they need to hire more polite people! Some of the girls here are really rude and give you nasty looks! Especially the girl who has ugly looking chola eyebrows! She is really rude and she gives you attitude. To make things worse the girls here don't even wear gloves when giving you the tamales or taking the plastic off of it, they just use their bare hands. I liked coming here when they had the more nicer girl working there. It's sad how sometimes the owner acts the same way, it always looks like she's in a bad mood ! read more

Pan dulce is pretty decent 7.5-8/10, but the food is so bland and flavorless. The masa for the tamales taste old and the tamales have no salsa! Also they don't even give any salsas on the side. On top they wrap the tamales with plastic, they out here selling the tamales like it's kilos of coke lol. Bread is the only thing worth it. read more

I used these Yelp reviews to find a great tres leches cake and thought I'd try Marilus since it's located closer to my house than Katy's which I have used several times for tres leches cakes. Nadia was the employee who helped me when I went in person to order. She was so great,very friendly and so helpful. I picked up the cake three days later and it was beautiful and was the hit of the party. Everyone loved it. The cake was just right not overly sweet and had such a light spongy cake with real whipped cream. A piece of heaven in each bite. I'm sold on Marilu's. Parking is difficult but Nadia told me to use the parking lot in back of the store and that was great. I love this tres leches cake and Nadia is a real sweetheart! read more

Champurado is on point. Thick, but not too sweet. I always pair it with a mil Hojas or cream filled horn.
