LOVE THIS SPOT! The pan is so soft and fresh, and my favorite part is that they serve you by piece so you're not getting squished up bread that everyone touches and mishandles. Came in after work for a concha craving, and got a champurrado to accompany it. The bread was too good to skip up, so I got one of each concha and the other pan dulce. There are multiple drink options, with warm options like coffee, champurrado, and atoles de oatmeal/strawberry/ corn. There's also food available, burritos, tortas, and "guisados". The customer service is attentive and based off how they had regulars whom they knew by name and order, it looks like a bakery to frequent! Highly recommend this bakery, I'll be back to try that food! read more

I wanted to support a local bakery. However, The pricing seemed really high. I was disheartened to pay 8.25 for three breads. After reviewing the reviews, I realized that the pricing is not normal and that I was overcharged. I know every business wants to thrive but treating each customer with equality and fairness is important. Please give everyone the standard price. read more

I've been coming here ever since I was little. I would pass by this spot every single day up until high school and I wanted to feature this place on my TikTok because it has a special place in my heart knowing how my friendly the staff are. My family would always by pan dulce from here. I went on Monday, July 21st and was greeted and served very nicely. The staff are always helping you select a good variety and I even asked for some recommendations of their favorites. I bought 5 pan dulces which came out to $8.75 ($1.75 per pan dulce) My favorite of the 5 were (1) the concha which is super soft and fluffy. They come in 4 different colors but the way you take that first bite, wow I inhaled the pan. (2) La Estrella (the star) which comes in either pink or white icing. Think of it like a sugar cookie but it's not overly sweet. The icing gives it a good layer of some added sweetness. (3) This is my childhood favorite which is called "the pastelito" or little cake that is on the top of the showcase when you look at the pan dulces. It's two layers with the bottom covered by a jam and then the top is a little bit of frosting with sprinkles on top. I usually have this with a glass of milk or any drink since it can be in the dry side but that's okay because I know I want to eat it with a drink. Overall an amazing place and I highly recommend anyone who is in the area to try it out. read more

Super friendly and great food! The tamales were really good and fresh. And pan Dulce was fresh and a good selection read more

I read about the Tamales for Xmas . Was so pleased. Very tasty. Good flavor moist and perfect size . My Mother always Had tamales her recipe. These We're very similar. Highly recommend this place . They food and bakery too . read more

Their Tamales are so good, they are our go to place for catering both personal occasions or church occasions. Their staff are so nice despite the language barrier but they still make sire to accommodate us. The place smells so good with all the baked goodies on the shelf. read more

Love their Conchas and all the pastries 100/10 must try family owned and authentic. Prices are super fair

I'm very basic and my favorite bakery items is a good bolillo. They have it here. When my suegra makes pan con pollo, we put orders in for 20-50 pieces the day before with no issues. My wife is also picky about her elote pan dulce and she loves it from here! read more

Mexican tamales were amazing and the conchas were fresh! Highly recommend the community to check them out and shop local.

Best pan hands down. The cacahuate is the best I've ever had. Perfectly soft and the créame filling is the best. The service here is lovely they are very kind. This place has been around so long. I've came here since I was little like 5 years old and am still coming here as a 23 year old to buy my favorite pan dulces. They also have really good freshly squeezed juices. read more

Loooove the fresh juices! In addition, staff is super friendly and always smiling no matter how early it is :) great way to start the day

If you want authentic Mexican food this is the place to go to eat . Torta de chicharrón and tamales de puerco (green) and rajas con queso were the BOMB!! read more

I agree with the reviews on here. Ryan and I were looking for Tamales Navidad Autentico to give to our neighbor that was also an authentic price. They had a good amount of tamales, all yummy, traditional recipes de Mexico, and they were all fair prices. If you get a plate there instead of to-go, they serve tamales with rice or bread. I've never seen that before but because they're such a good bakery, they do! Also--when I heard they had champurrado, I just knew this place would be just where we'd find them. They also have a good range of Pan Dulce. If you're tired of getting all your friends or coworkers donuts, here is a great, fun, cost-efficient alternative. read more

I love this panaderia! I've been going here for over 8 years. The pan is always fresh and the tamales are great. This place is a great find AND I love that the owner remembers my name. The staff is very friendly and has patience with me when I practice my Spanish. read more

I've been told I'm like a pregnant woman, in a sense that I get weird food cravings out of no where. But when the cravings strike me, I have to obey!!! It just so happens that my cravings desired chocolate and more chocolate that week. I called Panaderia Mexico and asked them to help subdue this craving of mine. Luckily, a fellow yelper, Oscar A. works here so I didn't have to worry about people thinking I was weird. He just asked two simple questions: "What do you want on it?" "Chocolate!!!!!" "Do you like Oreos?" "Hell yeah!!!" After telling me to stop yelling, he said he would take good care of me and man, did he ever!! The drive to pick up the cake was so much easier than the drive back. It was almost unbearable holding myself back from munching down on the cake on the ride back home. The cake was beautifully made (just check out the photos), with fresh fruit on top. When I cut into it, I almost fell out of my chair. CHOCOLATE CAKE, WITH CHOCOLATE FROSTING, WITH MELTED CHOCOLATE ON TOP!!! The frosting layer was an inch thick!!! But that's not the best part! Oscar made an entire layer of crumbled Oreos, mixed in with the chocolate frosting. Just thinking about it brings a tear to my eye. I definitely found my new place for birthday cakes (or for crazy cravings cakes)!! While the cake was definitely the highlight, I couldn't leave the bakery without getting a few treats that they had on display. I wish I could remember the names, but the pastries with fillings were delicious! It was also my very first time trying Mexican Cheesecake!! I seriously recommend everyone checks this place out. Just make sure you don't leave without a cake!!! read more

"Chocolate Tres Leches Cake with Strawberry" here is definitely greater than any PIE I have ever tasted.

Ok. Seriously. WTF is going on here.... Bread? Ummm yea. There's HELLA bread up in here yo. Cakes? *My heart just skipped a beat. Cookies? Yes yes yes. Simple sugar cookies that are shaped like a star and dipped. Yes I picked the pink one! Magazines? For my guy friends to gawk over while I order 100 lbs of bread? Awww thanks. Please keep those crazy asses occupied. Shake? Okay. Now stop. Banana. Chocolate. I am told it's not just any chocolate/chocolate powder bullshit. It's some chocolate straight up from Meh-Hee-Co okay? MmM mMm MmmM! Oatmeal? Wtf? Seriously? Granola? In my shake? Umm OKAY... Hmmm... milk, ice, and something else I think too. Anyway, it was SO good. I want to add some protein powder and have that for breakfast every morning now! Ugh!!! Cravings. I come up to Van Nuys one night to visit some friends and try out this infamous bakery. I walk in and was shocked. I thought it was going to be a tiny little panaderia (I am from Norwalk yo)! Instead I walk into this large bakery with bread, cookies, cakes, candies, drinks, shakes, magazines, and lord knows what else was there. It was more than I expected. I was given a sampler bucket with a bunch of different types of breads and cookies. I had the "plain but really good with coffee" bread this morning and had the cookie too. MmmMM. Damn you Panaderia Mexico! I was doing pretty darn good on my diet! It's okay though. I'll use that as my cheat meal? *sigh* Let's see if that sticks. When you come and check out Panaderia Mexico make sure to pick up some bread, get a cake, and DON'T FORGET to get a Meh-He-Co Chocolate Banana Shake!!!!!!!!!!!! I want one already! :( As one would say.... GG. zOMG. :) read more

Once Upon A Time In Mexico... Antonio Banderas, Salma Hayek and Johnny Depp eat your heart out, Panaderia Mexico needs its own IMDb. Living about a block away from this heavenly sent sweet bread destination I finally stepped in for the first time a couple of days ago. I was greeted by no other than Oscar A. who gave me brief information and little trivia about this place. Colors! I love colors. I noticed immediately the pan dulce in it's distinctive complexions. Not only do you get sweet bread here but there's a section for hot mexican traditional food, drinks, and ice cream aka paletas! Don't worry you non eaters there's a magazine stand for your reading pleasures ;) Smelling the aromatic smells of what the bakery offers made me fall in love. I'm now waving a white flag on trying to encounter cupcake places and have moved onto pan dulce mode. The generous Mr. Cool Oscar gave me an Rosca de Reyes to try out. (Rosca = Ring, Reyes = Kings; Three kings cake where you find a baby jesus baked somewhere in the bread) I went home and pretty much destroyed the bread in pieces. Soft, not too sweet, not too bland, very tasty... I looked like my hamster storing food into my cheeks. I will definitely be making my 1.5 minutes drive here more often, Panaderia Mexico has earned a fan. read more

Couldn't place order because no one speaks English. So unless you speak fluent Spanish, you can't eat here.

Found this local panaderia one night when I wanted some abuelita and pan. I showed up as they were putting the breads away for the night but managed to pick some cuernitos and galletas up along with others. Man oh man. The cuernitos and pan de elotes were so flavorful and sweet. I picked some more up yesterday to have for Noche Buena. If you're local to the 818 you gotta check this spot up. The parking lot can be a little tricky since it is shared with other businesses but so worth it! I know they also have tamales and other items they sell which I have not tried. read more

I so luv this bakery I've been coming here since I was a kid fresh bread made daily and tamales are really good.

Yelpers are a generous bunch. While planning Skylar's going away party, Oscar A graciously offered to bring a cake from his bakery. Which turned out to be the bakery that Skylar always wanted to get a cake from! How lucky is that!? I knew Miss Skylar loved chocolate and I do too but I was torn...I'm looking for the best tres leches cake. Much to my joy, Oscar said he would make us a chocolate tres leches cake! And it was so wonderful with strawberries and I even ate the whipped cream (I never eat whipped cream!). Mmm, what a moist and fluffy cake. I caught several people who said they didn't want cake eating cake. hahaha! Plus, the best part was the decorations. I originally was going to get a tastefully decorated cake until Oscar mentioned he had some naked guy to put on it. Wooh, turned out to be a complete hit! Highly recommended! I'm telling my best friend now to go here for cake instead of that dang Delicious Bakery she keeps trying to pass off to me. read more

Panaderia Mexico - chocolate tres leches cake - Bakeries Near Me - Van Nuys, California

Best Bakery in the SF Valley!! I remember walking to this place when I was 7 years old with my grandparents. *sigh* the day's when I had no worries. Fresh "pan dulce" every morning. Soo many selections its hard to decide. Mexican tamales and Champurrado is the only reason why I made the drive from Granada Hills on a rainy day like today. They also have Avena, hot chocolate, and coffee. Check this place out you won't be disappointed. Parking in the early morning is a drag. It's located in a small shopping center. But there's always someone leaving. read more

Picked up pork, beef, and chicken tamales for New Years!! Delicious. Service was fast and courteous!!Will be back!!

For the first time we decided to try the tamale tradition for Christmas this year and I found this place down the street and it was very delicious very filling and warm. Everyone was really nice inside , it was like having a whole bunch of moms working in one kitchen and it doesn't get any better then that. Thank you everyone merry Christmas read more

Terrible customer service unless you are Hispanic they kept helping everyone else while i stood there looking a fool.then finally when i git the bread it was at least a couple of days old it was hard and nasty read more

This place is like your Tia made the tamales. Never disappoints and hits the spot. Nothing fancy just the sweet bread and tamales.

But walked in and saw fresh hot champurado on a couple of pots.... Poured me a large cup and ordered some sweet butter bread and was. On my way... Champurado was nice thick and tasty..good flavor Bread was sweet but not overly sweet right balance of sugar and butter They had a large variety of breads and cakes... Plus some hot food.. Will def be back when Im in the area and try out the rest of them menu read more

Siempre cambian los precios. Ayer lleve un burrito un jugo grande más aparte mi compañero llevo una torta I un pan me cobraron menos de 20 dólares. Hoy llevo lo mismo I fueron 25 dólares siempre que el dueño no está cobran al tanteo I siempre es la misma señora read more

This place is simply amazing. There are no words to describe how great the customer service is and the food. I came here for the champurrado once and since then I'm hooked. They have a selection of hot drinks at the front counter and they let you taste samples so you don't end up with something you don't like. Their Mexican bread selection is freshly made daily and it's a wide variety. They have some typical Mexican dishes ready too. Their green salsa is fire and on point. The flavor is great. My tamales were delicious and the server even offered to bathe them in that green sauce, no regrets! I honestly admit, more than anything, aside from quality, what brings me back is the service and ambience. I feel like I'm at a family members house. Ive been treated so well here. read more

I had heard great things about this bakery and went to try it out. I was disappointed. Tamales are bland (no taste)! Not worth $1.75. Bread is average. Nothing unique. Bread pudding seemed like a week old. I will not be going back read more

It was sooo disappointing! I called to order a tres leches cake and found that no one there spoke English. No problem! I was with a Spanish-speaking friend. Erick helped me to order the cake and we were all set -- she said it was a round tres leches cake to serve 8 people held under my name. Another friend went to pick up the cake the next day. They had no idea what she was talking about. Robyn practiced her Spanish, giving my name and explaining what she was picking up. Eventually, they figured it out and gave her the cake. Fast forward to serving the cake -- we slice it and discover that is it NOT a tres leches cake at all. It is a plain vanilla layer cake, and not a very good one at that. Buyer beware! read more
