    Takis, Concha, and custard pastry.
    Danielle P.

    I live down the block from here, and you can smell the sweet buttery goodness down the street. I was a little apprehensive checking it out, but my tienda Spanish works for me when I go to local restaurants and the supermarket. I got a concha, a turnover-like pastry with custard, and a bag of Takis (OMG love me some Takis!). The concha was delightful, even after visiting in the late afternoon, usually not a great time to get bakery goods. I had a concha once at Food Bazaar on Junction, my first, and it was so, so sad. But then I guess it was like comparing a fresh bakery roll or pastry to a packaged one. I will definitely be visiting Vallecito more often!

    Best thing to do is get whatever just came out of the oven and I swear you won't regret it. It's cash only and full of beautiful breads and sweets usually not labeled but hey I am cool with that. Today I got 3 breads and a water for 4.50 I got my usual favourite with coconut on the rim and that custard in the Center that makes me want to cry it's so good. Honestly even though it depends on the day when the bread isn't warm or made in the hour I still love it and if I want that same mouth feel I wait till I get home wet my hand sprinkle some water drops on it and microwave it for like 20 seconds and it's like fresh out of the oven. Bottom line don't miss it !

    Oh my Cono (cone)! A flaky Mexican pastry made in the shape of an ice cream cone with vanilla custard in the middle. I grew up with these when my mom and dad (when they were together) used to bring some back from TJ, Mexico. Since I moved here to NYC in 1999 I only had my memories and visits back home to Escondido, CA to be with family to bring back that oh so yummy taste in my mouth. I can't think of the name of the bakery in Escondido, but if it's off Grand Ave and next to the 7-11 that's been there forever. I had a couple good ones and bad ones at Leon Bakery in the city, but with some research by asking local Mexican food restaurants I found Vallecito Bakery in Elmhurst/Jackson Heights (right off the 90th St stop of the 7) and its as close as I found to the real thing from back home in Esco. They even have chocolate dipped Conos in there sometimes. Although as you can imagine, some things shouldn't be messed with. Some say the Cono was one of the reasons we ended up buying our first co-op in the Heights. Just this past weekend, I washed my car with the self service $2 carwash at the Mobile station and walked across the street to have my cono to make sure I was going to have a good day. Thanks Lord! So the other things worth mentioning, since it looks like I'm going to be the first to review this location is their good selection of other Mexican breads/pastries, a selection of chicharrones and in case you wanted to pick up Mexico's version of bingo....La Loteria...in regular and jumbo size. So to recap I would say that I would give their conos 5 stars, their location itself 3 stars, so hence the 4 stars overall.

    Ate here today for lunch by myself while working as a temporary substitute paraprofessional at P.S…read more 398 Q to try this place out for the first time. I had brought and ate the bandera dish that comes with goat and tripe stew, shrimp ceviche, and rice. Overall, it was delicious and really good. The service there was also attentive and pleasant that they even give me a sweet slice of cake for a complimentary dessert. I couldn't agree more! Finally, I would definitely eat and come back again next time! :)

    The food is excellent but the billing is questionable to say the least. We won't go back…read more Somehow our bill went from $39 to $55.20 after ordering a $5 slice of flan for dessert. That's a difference of $16.20, which was more than my $15 entree (steak with rice, beans, and tostones). They took it upon themselves to include a 15% tip on debit ($7.20) after my wife had already tipped with $10 cash (which was returned when we questioned it). They charged us $3 extra for a side of beans that should have been included with my wife's $21 fried fish platter. Initially they didn't charge anything for a $4 lemon beverage that was ordered by a misunderstanding, but once we ordered the flan after the bill came out the first time they corrected that mistake. Granted these are small charges, but the overall feeling we were left with was a bad taste. The bill turned out higher than what we initially expected and was no bargain considering we didn't even order an alcoholic beverage. It felt like we were paying a sucker surcharge.
