If I didn't work near this area, I honestly would have never discovered Rubios Bakery, and that would've been a huge mistake because this place is amazing. This is not your regular everyday bakery. This is a true Central American bakery and food spot with so much culture, flavor, and heart behind it. What I love about this place is that they do way more than just bread and pastries. They also serve full dishes where you can build yourself a plate from all the guisos and fresh food they already have prepared. I've had both their breakfast and lunch here and everything has been consistently good every single time. Their breakfast is seriously underrated too. The yogurt smoothies, egg plates, pupusas in the morning, fresh coffee, and all the guisos are always on point. Even during times where I was trying to save money, I could still walk in, grab a couple pieces of bread and a small coffee for a really affordable price and leave happy. This place always hits no matter what you order. The atmosphere here is something special too. If you come early in the morning, you can really feel the culture and warmth in the place. The Christian music playing in the background, the smell of fresh bread, the morning rush, and the ladies working there all make it feel comforting and genuine. And if you're lucky enough to get helped by one of the older ladies, they'll give you that auntie or grandma type of energy that just makes the experience even better. Coming from a Mexican background myself, it's honestly beautiful getting to experience and appreciate Central American culture through a place like this. Spots like these are special and deserve support. Nothing but love for this bakery. Highly recommend this place to anybody looking for good food, good people, and an authentic experience. read more

this place has prices like they are inside Disney land. I ordered a plate a peace of tilapia I little bit of beans and some spaghetti and one bolillo bread my worker 4 tacos dorados and 2 can sodas over $ 40 fir that. I told the lady what plate was $20plus price and she said the seafood/tilapia plate and I picked it up and showed her and said this how this is a small plate?? And she told me next time take a good look at the price. And we left everything there read more

The baked items were just ok though I was a little surprised there were no guava items. I opted for a quesadilla, strawberry danish, and a Bavarian cream empanada and red beans and rice. The red beans and rice were very flavorful and comforting. I would comeback just for this. Service is a little confusing because the main register is between the bakery display and hot food items, and the queue wasn't clear to me. Decor is bright and colorful, and if I had more time I would have loved to sit at the outdoor patio. Parking situation is a little hectic but manageable because it's in a busy plaza / strip mall. read more

Paid $15 for 1 scrambled egg, a side of beans, and 3 pieces of plátano. Literally felt like I was getting robbed! Also, the way you order is super confusing and you don't know what is an entree vs what is a side. Don't seem to be welcoming other than to their regulars. The only thing that was good was their coffee. read more

Amazing cakes and amazing service. The owner is so friendly. Want to come back and try the food

I ordered a tart for Mother's Day online it says that the tart is made with a perfected In house custard and when I cut it was filled with whipped cream. It was $50 wish I think it's extremely overpriced ! I will not be coming back ! read more

They make up the price as they go depending on who you are. Make sure you specify which combo you want cause they will charge you more and not tell you which is a side and what's an entree. The meal posted was 19 dollars! read more

I went in to Rubio's since I live near by and was curious and I'm glad I did. The service is very friendly and attentive. At about 9:45am there were quite a few people enjoying breakfast which is always a good sign. The cases are split between bakery and savory. I obviously had to try something from each. From the savory side I chose the chicken tamale and from the sweet side a pan dulce. The chicken tamale looked a bit deconstructed since it is served without the husk but they give you a large bolillo roll so you can dip and, or, construct your own torta. Very flavorful and the chicken was moist and well cooked. I am not well versed in tamales so I can't speak to authenticity but I thought it was very tasty. The pan dulce was light and sweet with a slight crust which gives it that light sugary crunch. There is a small parking lot in front but it caters to a lot of businesses so it may be tough to navigate. You can find metered street parking on Pico which may be easier to get in and out of. read more

Im soo sorry. As a Guatemalan, I'm sure they are rushing through their food. The chile rellenos taste like straight vinegar. The tamales taste like paste. This is in the reason months. They probably changed cooks. However the cakes, are the best. I buy different cakes and every time, everybody asks where we bought them. People are nice tho. Don't but tamales tho read more

My last review was about 4 yrs ago and I'm still coming to this place. A lot of changes have happened since then but only for the better. Now you see the sons ( J. & N. ; Sorry I already forgot the names!) involved in the business. The food is still good or even better! It's like eating at home & it helps that everyone that works there does make you feel welcomed. I can only vouch for breakfast because that is really the only time I come to Rubio's for (before work). *I love the potato balls & the red chili salsa they give out! *Always get my Pan Dulce from here, specially the Quesadillas. *Can't go wrong with the black beans, sour cream, cheese, & bolillo/pan francés. *Aguas Frescas have always been refreshing *Chicken Enchiladas we're delicious to *Breakfast Sandwiches *Sandwiches *Coffee *Desserts are always good *just a lot of options And the best, it's always clean! They constantly clean the area where the food is and rotate it to keep it fresh. So definitely give it a try! If your looking for traditional Latino home cooked meals, this is it! *Parking in the morning can be a little difficult because of the amount of trucks that are there to get breakfast before they go to work. But I've never had an issue finding a spot in 2min or less. Just patience. read more

I was looking specifically for a carrot cake and when I called, they were so quick to help me and ask if I wanted slices or a whole cake and had it ready for when I arrived. When I went to pick it up, they were so friendly and kind. Marisa! who helped me over the phone also helped me when I got there and she was just so sweet. I ordered a coffee which was also really good! I also needed a candle, and they didn't sell any but she found one for me -- so sweet! Overall, the customer service here is a 10 out of 10! I can't wait to try the carrot cake! It's also such a cute vibe inside and outside! read more

I usually come here just for bolillo bread but this time I bought a hot plate. Not sure the name of the dish that I got lol but it was good. I also got a cup of fresh juice that I can't remember the name. Sorry about that yelpers. Everything was tasty and worth a try. They have an outside seating area with umbrellas for the sun since you can't eat inside any restaurant anymore (thanks covid) read more

Came here for the first time today to order take out for lunch. Spent $60 for 2 dinner plates and a cake. The main issue here is on one of my dinner plate the macaroni salad was old and. It wasn't fresh when I got home to have it. Took the first bite and tasted sour and had the smell of expired milk. How are they serving old food to customer? Don't management inspect their food after a day of sales to see what's still good and not ? Worse part was I had diarrhea that afternoon after eating that dinner plate and it was from the macro I salad . They serve old food .Not everything is fresh here BE AWARE !! read more

I was a regularly. Not coming back here at all anymore. The lady that was helping me was such a bad mood. She wasn't rolling her eyes I don't need that kind of attitude early in the morning read more

Bought the cake the same day and I left the cake in my fridge and it was REFRIGERATED for the whole day till the evening, everyone who got a slice of the cake noticed it tasted like chemicals and cheesy. The cake was obviously days old and not fresh it was disgusting, and made my grandmother sick after eating the old cake. PLEASE DONT BUY FROM THIS PLACE THEY SELL DAY OLD ITEMS, this is not the first time I buy from here and get sold old items. It should be embarrassing to sell old food,fix that. read more

Fruit tart! Fruit Tart! Fruit Tart! I could not believe that I found a fruit tart cake that replaced Porto's fruit tart. The fruit was just as fresh and as juicy as the fruit on portos. But what took portos out of the top of my list, was the cream that the cake brought. It as moist, did not taste over the top sugary, and it was thick enough to stay in place when we cut it. The restaurant has tons of other food I am willing to come back and try. They also have other pastries in there. I highly recommend just a visit if in the area. read more

Morning go-to in the neighborhood for yummy bread, pastries, coffee, and a legit fleet of breakfast options from chicken to tamales to noodles to rice and beans to eggs to veggies, and smoothies and agua fresca.

Placed a request for a custom cake with a picture on top for about 10 people in a circle shape, they agreed to do so and when the time of picking up order came, the cake was square shaped. So they did whatever they wanted to regardless of a request they agreed to, and the writing on the cake saying "happy birthday" was smeared and unreadable. read more

My family and I have had a horrible year.... My dad the chef of the house and of course Thanksgiving dinner passed away last year... so this year we didn't celebrate.

Sorry but we didn't like it, my husband is Guatemalan and we love eating at Guatemalan places.....we tried it because it looked appetizing on IG real but compared to Guatemalteca or Chapinlandia this place is a flop, the food was cold and no real Guatemalan flavor the serving was messy on the plate like the rice was just thrown on the plate and landed on the beans we got some chicken and they hardly served the juice that goes along with it I chose a egg soup and the served it in to a tall to do cup instead of a bowl, like really? How am I supposed to sit down and eat that at their restaurant my conclusion is that the viral reals are always disappointing oh and before I forget the bread is a little dry so yea! That's it read more

I ordered a mocha chocolate cake, with the wording "Happy Birthday" on a chocolate bar, and a nice decoration. When I received the cake, cheap looking cake and the wording written on the cake like whatever. Too much frosting and worse of all the bread cake so so dry like I was chewing sand paper. Threw the cake away. The most disappoint that the birthday person wasn't happy. Don't order cake for occasions here, unless you want to buy the ones that are on display. If you order for later, it wont look like on the display or what they show you. read more

The location was clean, but the AC was blasting. Food was good, but it was cold. Parking was tight

I bought menudo and two sweet breads and I've had better at El torito. The menudo has a strange taste (it's loaded with meat) but the taste isn't great and lacks flavor. They gave me no condiments, so I had to cut up onion and cilantro at home. If I knew that's what it was going to taste like, I would have just bought a can of menudo. The bread (two conchas) were dry and bland. I was going to ask for a coffee but their coffee area looked closed, so I didn't want to bother (I can't imagine the coffee being great either so I don't regret it). Menudo for one and two conchas for pennies under $20. It's a cute place but I wont be going back. read more

This place is a hidden gem. Upon entering I was greeted and helped right away. Jesse was personable and very knowledgeable about the products. It was my first time visiting so he took his time to explain everything. I went in for one pastry and left with a few and a to-go box with lunch for my daughter. I don't live close but I will definitely make way way back here. The food is excellent and the service was superb. Great Job!! read more
