Panaderia La Mejor

DO NOT EVER SHOP HERE!!!After fixing my flat tire in front of this place I was hungry. I walked in to purchase a fresh pastry and a worker noticed that I had something in my hand that might be a small piece of trash. He told me to go to the dumpster at the end of the block. I responded, "ok but I'd like to buy some food."He replied, "we don't have food, the trash is down the street". I replied, "the sign says Panaderia and it looks like you're selling food here." He continued being rude until I asked again, "isn't this a food establishment???"Even though I spoke perfect Spanish, I am over 6' tall and white so I guess I am not welcome here. DO NOT EVER SHOP HERE!!!

I actually googled "top concha in orange county" and this came up on one of the lists. It was also the closest one to me in relation to South Orange County. I arrived early in the morning probably around 7:30 AM, there was a small line out front and everyone was socially distancing. Masks are required to enter and it is cash only. The person behind the counter will hand you a tray and tongs to grab bread directly off of the baking trays. However I don't believe that these are being disinfected or clean between uses as they just were on the counter from the last customer. I did not see them come from a clean location. Despite that, I chose a couple breads including conchas. The cashier carefully placed them in a bag and I paid for my items and left. It seems like a lot of regulars are visiting this location and getting morning bread and coffee. It's about as legit as it gets. The items were freshly prepared the Concha were still slightly warm. I would definitely come back.

Their concha's are the best, they're always fluffy and the sugar on top is so flavorful, not dry like the ones at the supermarket. I like the yellow ones with the thicker sugar coating the most. Their other pan dulce is just as delicious. Stepping into this Panaderia really takes me back as I walked into a Panaderia in Mexico as a kid. The workers are always nice. They also have various selections of desserts and even tortas de jamón, el Chavo would probably go crazy for these! I almost bought a Rosca de Reyes from Superior but was discouraged after seeing it had maraschino cherries as a topping instead of the traditional figs. This was the first time I purchased a Rosca from this place and was left impressed by the quality of the pastry. The fig is actually a jam inside the rosca keeping the baby Jesus some company lol. Just like the rest of their bread, this Rosca was fluffy, and full of flavor. By far this is my favorite Panaderia in all of OC. It may not be a well branded name like 85° or Porto's but you can truly taste the love and dedication that is put into the food they make.Note: This place take CASH ONLY.

So we walked in and there were Baker's baking in the back and I said hi in Spanish. I'm not sure if I was acknowledged but I went about grabbing my Pan De Dulce favorites and once I was ready a man came out and charged me for my bread and I went about my life. The pan de Dulce was alright, I'm not running home to mother about it. But it hit the spot. Overall I got what I needed and that's all that mattered to me today

I have been coming here since 2010. This is the best panadería as the name says it la mejor. The conchas are very appetizing, especially the chocolate ones. As you bite into the soft bread, your taste buds will feel like if they were in heaven. The sweet taste will make you feel at home. La chocolate Abuelita is the best homemade drink, for when it's cold outside.This is authentic Mexican sweet bread. Los bolillos de jalapeño y crema de queso son muy deliciosos y hace agua a la boca. Definitivamente, recomiendo esta pastelería/panadería.

Bread is delicious they have some good empanadas but they don't make them the same every time I don't know if is because they have different bakers but the first time I got them they were super filled with filling and I went again and they only had a small layer of filling they are still delicious and worth the try make sure you don't forget your cash it is cash only.

This is some of the best bread in oc! The bread is super fresh and tasty! The tres leches is a must try! make sure you bring cash.

Bets Mexican bread in town. As if you where in Mexico, same taste and original. I have compared with others since I am very particular about flavor

My wife googled best panaderías and this location popped up, so we decided to try. Honestly northgate Gonzales has better pan dulce than this place. Very disappointed with this pan dulce spot we tried almost everything except conchas cause they didn't have but I will be not coming back to this spot and location is pretty bad lot of homeless and druggies near by. $30 for pan dulce mejor me compro un cake de Porto's

I just want to say, there bread is great but there customer service is awful except for Perla. Perla is very helpful and always greats me with a smile. Theres a lady in the afternoon who always looks mad and angry and when I have to pay she basically hurries me up. Ontop of that when she hands me my change and bags up my bread she takes forever, like forever. It looks like she hates working there and takes it out on the customer. My friends have also said the same about the same lady. A simple have a nice day or a greating as how Perla does it can change your day and with her she kills mines. I'm a very busy girl I work, go to school, and plus I'm a mom and I never "yelped" befor but I just had to make sure someone heard where I was comming from. She needs a attitude adjustment or should get fired. I'm not hating but something about her attitude stinks and needs to change. #GivePerlaARaiseASAP
