I love to be anywhere near the Panaderia Gonzalez. It's a family run establishment Panaderia Gonzalez not a big bread store, but because they sell lots of bread, the conchas, panaderos, empanadas, puerquitos, mantecadas, etc are always very fresh. I also like bread here as none of the sweet breads is ever overly sugared or overly sweet. Customer service has always been excellent in the interactions I've seen and been involved with. A few months ago I misplaced my wallet after buying bread at the panaderia. I checked my truck, then came home and still could not find it. I called the bakery and a young lady shared earlier in the day, they had found a wallet. I described it for her and she said, yes it was there! This family and it's members saved me. Yes panaderias can he found in some local markets but for me, none of the store bread has the unique flavor or freshness as found at Panaderia Gonzalez read more

I like the sweet bread this bakery sells. It's a family owned business that I have visited from time to time. On Friday evening I stopped by to get some bread to bring to a friends gathering. To my unpleasant surprise there was a lady sweeping the floor (it was like 30 minutes before they closed) and the worst part is that all the dirt, dust and nasty particles were flying everywhere!!! The floor was dirty, very dusty. Without paying attention I walked on a pile of dirt that was in the middle of the store, then I heard the noise that only a broom makes when sweeping. It was so bad seeing that all the bread was exposed to the flying dust and particles as this store does not have clear doors where the bread is. I had to leave the bakery. I did make the lady aware and made the comment that she should not have been sweeping with the broom while the bread was exposed. She honestly didn't care, she was just "doing her job" I don't understand how can someone do something like that. If you want to start with closing procedures and want to sweep make sure your product is covered and not exposed to bacteria. I will not go back to this store, if they do this when customers are present, I cannot imagine what they'll do when no one is watching. read more

Good bread, not the nicest (they don't greet you, zero attentiveness, a bit rude, ignore you, etc.) bread is usually fresh, but when they have a line - man, does the guy take his time packing the bread and takes forever. read more

Customer Service is not as great and doesn't really greet you the food bread quality is 100% the drive just be careful not once I went there twice thry overcharge. I don't say anything, but I just be careful and count and make sure you ask for a receipt I don't know if I'll be back because they keep overcharging. read more

If you don't live near by it's absolutely worth the drive! Best conchas chocolate & vanilla so super soft. And a must for your Rosca de Reyes! read more

Súper delicioso el pan sabor mexicano y las roscas de Reyes las mejores de San Diego frescas y un trato muy amable

The bread is delicious, but the customer service that the young cashier offers makes us not want to return to avoid the bad service because of course no one wants to shop for bread in a bad mood, she never greets customers and is always looking mad. Sad that they have good bread but horrible customer service. read more

El mejor pan que yo conozco en todo San Diego. Si voy a comer y pecar comiendo pan tiene que valer la pena siempre vengo aquí aunque me queda 20 minutos de distancia vale la pena . Y la rosca que no se diga tiene ya 6 años comprando de esta panadería. Todos siempre bien amables read more

Great bread!! My favorite in SD, not a lot of good panaderías in LA so I always look forward to this!

The best conchas in town. They have a big variety of different desserts to choose from and new batches are always brought out. The prices are decent. Cash only so come prepared. read more

Best panadería ever. I swear there isn't a better panadería in entire SD! Their pan dulce is so so yummy very delicious very soft! Anything you get from conchas to empanadas are so delicious. The bread is very fresh and you can tell right away is made daily. We like their bread so much that for día de Reyes we also got a rosca. And it was amazing! Best rosca ever better than northgate better than anything else. Even the sweet bread is better than panchitas. I really recommend this place! It is worth it and it is amazing! My feiend who is like my sister is the one who introduced us to this amazing place! And she actually is the one bringing it to us! Big thanks to my sister Marlene she knows how much we love pan dulce and she got us addicted to this panadería so good! read more

Awesomely affordable fresh baked goods! Majority of the baked goods were $0.65 and coffee is $1.50. There's a parking lot within the plaza and a lot parking spaces available on a Saturday early afternoon. Once upon arriving, you can pick up a black tray and tongs to select which baked goods you want. There's three tables that can seat around 4 people per table. read more

Stopped by to get birote. It was good ! Reason giving 4 stars is because I had to go to the liquor store next door to get cash. They don't take card read more

El pan y birote muy rico. Cosas que no me gustan es que solo aceptan efectivo y cierran los domingos y su información no está al día. Como su teléfono y dirección. read more

My favorite location to visit for fresh baked bread. I love the consistency this location has to offer quality sweet bread so fresh that you can smell it from the outside surroundings it makes you crave it to the fullest. Today I bought 21 assorted Mexican breads for my visitors at home and loved the presentation the staff had to organize all the breads to look presentable. This location is constantly baking bread throughout the day to offer its customers the best quality at $1 a piece that's amazing price highly recommend. I come here so often one day you might cross me. read more

This place is really good. The bread is delicious and soft, unlike Northgate Gonzalez. The only thing is that they only take cash and they are closed on Sundays. The breads that I like are not always there and you tell the panadero which ones you want and he picks them for you. read more

Service always kind and friendly. The pan dulce is delicious and the prices are reasonable. This establishment is cash only so come prepared. read more

Delicious bread. Probably the best in SD, i love El Gallo Bakery in LA and if you know how good it is, let me tell you- this place is definitely comparable. Very very delicious read more

Best Mexican bakery, been going there for the past 20 plus years (since Dairymart). It brings back memories of when my dad used to take me as a kid. I now buy some for my family, I also take some extra for my dad as well. Hard not to eat one on my drive home, very friendly family owned business. La mejor panaderia en san diego, me recuerda de cuando mi papa me llevaba a la "Panaderia La Mejor" (5y 10). Ya tengo mas de 20 años llendo y siempre me da gusto volver. read more

pan esta bueno la rosca que compre esta muy rica lo que no me gusta es que costo 30 i es mediana . comparacion la de costco es15 dólares esta muy buena read more

Best pan dulce in San Diego. The conchas taste just like the traditional ones you would have in Mexico baked fresh daily. Make sure to bring cash as they don't take card read more

Buen pan mal servicio señora y la muchacha mal mal service la muchacha siempre enojada si tubieran buen servisio mas clientes

Panaderia Gonzalez is a nice little gem hidden in the south bay. You'll find blue stacked trays of a variety of pan dulce. If you get here early you will have a great variety to chose from. If you get here in the afternoon to get your pan dulce for tomorrow, not so much. Unfortunately the store is pretty warm, no AC, as soon as you get in there it pretty much is just the warmth from the baking and the sun. Lastly the place is kinda a downfall due to the inability to pay with a card. Only cash here, no futuristic payment options here! This place would get better reviews is there weren't so many other more convenient options. Almost every grocery store has just as many options for pan dulce, a huge amount of variety in all hours of the day and located everywhere. I really want to like this place but it really isn't the greatest. I want to give this place 3 stars but I really can't bring myself to click that third star. read more

Don't know why this place has bad reviews honestly. Excellent service right now with COVID protocol in place, signaled distance stickers on the floor. You are not allowed to touch the bread which is excellent for higiene in my opinion. I saw they had hand sanitizer as well and the floor looked very clean. You tell them what bread you want they pick it for you. Amazing tasting bread, doesn't taste super sugary which I love. The orejas are nice and crispy, and the birote smells like heaven. Also had a tortuga I think that's what it's called it tastes like spices and not just sugar. This place is cash only, and to the person who complained that they only speak Spanish maybe learn some Spanish so you can enjoy some excellent bread and you stop being so rude. read more

I found this Panaderia one day when I was waiting for my daughters karate class to end. I Yelped and this place wasn't far, since finding this Panaderia I ONLY get Pan from here. Forget Panchita's bakery, forget Northgate pan.... this is way better. Soft, not too heavy, delicious. The women who work here are so nice, the place is clean. They are following COVID safety protocol. So glad I found this place. read more

If you want the best pan dulce I highly recommend coming here. Great prices and fresh bread. Cash only!

My dad bought us pan dulce last night, my favorite are the cream filled ones. I broke it in half and the cream was dry... I wonder how long it was sitting there. I didn't eat it. This is the only pan I've tried from here. read more

Best pan dulce ever! The conchas are soft and delicious! The Birotes they make with stuff inside are also delicious but you have to get there early because they finish pretty fast. Overall this panaderia is one of the best! read more

I bought some bread at the bakery on Palm Ave. just two days ago 6/4/15. After my girl tasted the bread, she turned around and asked the cashier if the owners where the same. He said NO! We paid for the 4pieces of bread, which was about four bucks...expensive for what we got. If it where the original Gonzales bread, we wouldn't be complaining so much. But this bread was just like the crap you buy at Northgate. I think a bit worse. You just can't get decent mexican bread anymore. I kind of like the sweet bread La Bodeguita has. read more

AMAZING! WOW! Super great bread everything is crunchy and delicious i loved it! I loved it!!!! I wanna go here everyday!

This is the best place in SD to get your conchas!. They are soft & when you dip it in your coffee Uff heaven. I come here every weekend to get a dozen of my favorite pan dulce. read more

Probably the one of the best if not THE best place to find fresh traditional Mexican bread and at a really good price. I've been a customer of theirs for over 20 years! DELICIOUS! read more

My favorite panadería! Everytime i visit San Ysidro, fresh, yummy and not expensive pan besides big variety of pan, they also have tortillas and chips (wich havent try yet) also they do sale regular bolillos and bolillos con queso y jalapeño and some Others bolillos variety, in another words BEST PANADERIA IN TOWN! read more

A great authentic Mexican panaderia. I like the face that there is seating. The coffee could be better but it's a bakery not a coffee shop. read more

I've been going to this place for 18 years now. I got to say their conchitas are BOMB!

Everything looked so delicious that it was difficult to choose what I was going to buy! After piling my tray with treats, my total was less than 5$! I will definitely be coming back! Everything tasted so good and fresh. read more

This place is great, as soon as you walk in it smells like home. Really fresh pan dulce.

It was listed under coffee and tea places, but when my dad and I got there it had a very sparse selection of those such drinks. I didn't expect it to be like starbucks quality or anything, but it was very dissapointing. We ended up not buying anything, though they had a large selection of pastries. The location isn't the best and the shop itself is a little bit lacking in the looks department but the pastries didn't look bad. We were completely dissatisfied with the drink selection though, so if you're looking for a cute little cafe, or somewhere that you can get a quality coffee, tea, or specialty beverage I would look elsewhere. read more

Stuffed birotes are to die for!!! Get there early in order to get a good variety, a bit pricy but once u bite into them U will forget what u paid and it will all be worth it!!! Love Love Love them!!! read more
