Austin Z.

I want to give a BIG shoutout to San Jose Foos for recommending me to this locally owned panaderia! If you want some really good fresh baked pan or desserts, you won't want to miss out on this place! They make everything from freshly made ingredients, and their storefront is absolutely welcoming to everybody passing by, whether driving or walking. The owner, Aldo, runs the storefront AND also does a mobile bakery as well. I went specifically because they were doing free fresh-baked bread for Father's Day, and me and my friend went to snatch up the offer while it lasted :) the ambiance of the place was honestly worth it. Really spacious if you wanted to wait. They also have really good drinks as well! Their cafe de olla is definitely something to NOT miss -- every cup is brewed fresh and hot to serve, regardless of the hot or the cold weather.

Tamale with the goodness on top and half eaten cupcake, filled with goodness

We came as far as S. San Francisco, with my nieces and I. Walked through Panapolis #2 on Alamaden Pkwy and ran into Sr. Panapolis himself. The ambiance of his cafe has the beautiful mexican artwork and smell of fresh pan mexicano. It's Tamale season and we each had their queso con arajas, topped w/crema y salsa verde, DELICIOUS. We each enjoyed their cupcake filled with fresa (strawberry), the cake itself had the perfect bite, hard to describe, let's just say our plates were empty! Ladies behind the counter served us with smiles and generous in giving us tastings, such as their champurada which niece enjoyed very much. We left with bags of pan mexicano. Worth the drive!!

Sadly, my picks did not hit the mark - the conchas were overcooked and were hollow, and the flan had a similar taste like Senor Ricos from the supermarkets. The stars are for their service and the place which were impeccable.

Chocolate Caliente & Concha

We have stopped at Panapolis every single weekend now! Before heading to work the , Avena , Chocolate caliente and bread is amazing

Wow this place happened to be next door to where we had lunch so we had to check in out, we were definitely impressed buying cookies. Easy peasy like most bakeries and panaderias all their goodies are on display in cases so you can choose whatever your heart desires! We all chose different items. Went back for a box of goodies for the dementia care facility my Dad lives in the staff as well as my father and some of the residents loved the brightly colored cookies some with sprinkles and muffin like treats. Really impressed by the variety they have here.

Conchas

We had conchas for a school event, and they were a huge hit! EVERYONE kept asking where they were from because they were so good! Easily the best conchas I've had: fluffy, fresh, and absolutely delicious. The staff provided a great experience, and Aldo is awesome. Thank you!!

Shout out to my sister for spotting Panapolis Panderia at our local Target parking lot!! For those who are unfamiliar with PP, this little gem is a mobile bakery serving up fresh, warm to the touch, & deliciously authentic Mexican pastries. Be advised that the bakery is constantly on the move. In no way am I a pan dulce connoisseur but my picky palate is only impressed by a rare few when it comes to these little treats. Most of the time my purchases are met with overly dryness and disappointment. However, the delicious aroma exuding from this mobile bakery was more than I could handle and I made the decision to get in the forever growing line of patrons. Customer service was spot on from start to finish. The amount of offerings was huge and the vibrant colors was such a beautiful sight to see. Although they were sold out of my typical pink concha, we left with 2 vanilla flavored seashell pastries and a sprinkles cookie for my daughter. The pastries were handed off warm and although they were messy to eat, the baked goodies were delicious. The bread was soft on the inside with a nice firm crispness to the outer shell. Sweetness wasn't overwhelming like a normal American donut would be but just enough to satisfy any sweet tooth. The cookies had a nice buttery taste, kind of crumbly, and had a slightly extra crunch effect thanks to all of the sprinkles left my daughter in awe. 5 stars. Follow them on instagram for the latest updates, drool worthy images, & the location schedule!!!! I'd love to expand my tastebuds and try a few different items the next time around and hopefully PP will have my pink conchas. Fingers crossed because with the popularity of this business consistently growing, I'm sure items are more inclined to sell out... RUN Y'All, RUN!!!!

Panapolis donated to our school pan dulce for teacher & staff appreciation week! The staff loved the pan dulce! We reached out to a few of small business and Panapolis was the one who right away said yes to us! The Pan dulce was freshly made and delicious! Thank you so much for helping our community! We were able to give all the staff a sweet treat!

Bread was not good. Yo-yo was stale and the cheesecake tasted so much like refrigeration, that I couldn't take more than two bites.

I would suggest that the serve mention that when taking orders so we know. Just because it's at the very bottom of the menu I didn't notice it until I asked for a dessert menu. The food was so good! We had Mexican jambalaya, Carne asada plate, tacos Dorado, enchiladas with both sauces, parillada, enfrioladas (bean enchiladas) tacos de pescado, Don julio flight, multiple drinks and churros. The churros were really good although we wish there was a non filled ones too and to have the optionof if we wanted it dressed up because churros are already super sweet with the cinnamonand sugar dusted but caramel and whip cream was added along with a strawberry filling. We also ordered a tres leches cake but we didn't like the tres leches cake, it was too sweet, so sweet that we couldn't taste the filling which we assume was pineapple lol the color was yellow with pieces of fruit but we couldn't taste it. Overall the service was great and quick. I would definitely come back here.

Plenty of parking available since the restaurant is in a strip mall. It wasn't too busy when we got there, but then it started picking up. There was only one server working and she was really hustling to meet everyone's needs. Plus, she was friendly. I had the carne asada burrito, it was good but nothing over the top that made it stand out. My friend had enchiladas with mole. We were most excited about dessert and decided to share the churros and Tres leches. It was a nice touch that the churros and Tres leches did not come plain, a little pizzazz since they were both served with berries, whipped cream, and a cajeta style sauce. Both of the desserts were so good and a perfect touch of sweetness.

Our server was Sebastian & he was super friendly, attentive & recommended us the goods. My favorite here was their enchiladas - red & stuffed with chicken tinga. It also came with a side of rice & beans. The pickled red onions that came on top was delicious as well. My daughter even loved it & she's super picky about her onions. Drinks were good, the michelada with the shrimps - fire. Paloma - not that strong for the price you pay, but it was still alright.

They charged us for an adult Chicken and Waffles even though we sent it back and got the correct kids' portion I originally ordered. They also charged us for TWO molcajetes when only ONE came out. The check went from $265 to $200 after we caught everything. 1000000% they were hoping we wouldn't notice. I could believe it was an honest mistake if two molcajetes had come out, but they didn't. Since gratuity was already included, it really makes me wonder how many people have overpaid without realizing it. We came in with a group of 6. Everything was okay at first. We ordered chips with salsa and beans, and the beans were delicious, so we ordered a second round. At most restaurants, chips and salsa are free, so we assumed the same here. Unfortunately, we were never told the second round wasn't free, or that only one refill was included, and no one asked if we were okay with the additional charge. My dad and I shared the molcajete, which was pretty good, had enough meat, and was literally BOILING hot. My MIL and husband both ordered the Carne Asada plate. It was tasty but had really small portions, so we had to share our food with them to fill them up. My kids ordered French toast and chicken strips. They were originally supposed to get Chicken and Waffles, but they were out of waffles or couldn't make them--I'm not really sure. This is where the problems started. I specifically said KIDS chicken & waffles twice when ordering, but they brought out the adult size for my oldest, which was $8 more. Fine, we can call that an honest mistake, but then it was also charged on the final bill even after we sent it back. Unfortunately, after everything with the bill, we will NOT be going back here again.

The staff were attentive, gave great menu recommendations, and constantly came by to refill our water. Very spacious dining room. We started with the Queso Fundido, served on a small hot plate with chilis, garlic, and oil on top. It's basically a block of cheese served with chips. Even with the hot plate, it didn't stay gooey for long, but it was a pretty good starter. The Coconut Campachano was creamy and refreshing. It also came with chips, though ours seemed like crumbs from the bottom of the barrel. We got the Trompo tacos and Sautéed Shrimp tacos. Both were tasty, and the tortillas seemed fresh. Decent food, great service, small portions, a bit expensive for what you get and that's before the 4% fee.

My wife is Latina, so we're pretty familiar with authentic Latin/Mexican flavors, and from the moment we walked in, we were a little unsure of what to expect. We completely understand we're in Willow Glen and that Copita is going for a more upscale take, but for us, authenticity and flavor still have to be at the heart of the experience. Our waitress was very friendly and polite, and this review is absolutely not a reflection of her service. However, when we asked about the style of the food, there seemed to be a little hesitation in explaining it, which made us even more uncertain about what we had gotten ourselves into. I don't like bashing restaurants or their food, so I'll simply say that, unfortunately, the highlight of our meal was the chips and salsa. The cocktails, on the other hand, were good and definitely not shy on the alcohol! Also, don't expect large portions. The restaurant is clearly aiming for a more upscale presentation and experience, so the plates reflect that. Overall, Copita just wasn't for us. This was our first visit and unfortunately will probably be our last. I genuinely wish them success, but I think a few changes, especially when it comes to the flavors and authenticity of the food could make a big difference.
