I have had such a craving for a polvorone- the pink sugar cookie crusted with sugar. So I did a search and found Yvette's bakery near my work. Came this morning and went off my diet because everything looked so yummy and fresh! Seems like a good place to go in the morning, as they have champurado and tortas as well. Good parking although I can see it gets busy in the peak hours. I was happy to try their pork tamales with red sauce, (delicious)! Nice size and meat to masa ratio. Not too spicy and super tasty. The masa was moist and flavorful. I also bought chicken tamales (verde sauce), a mini concha and a mini elephant ear cookie. Dug into all of them right away- that will be my lunch I guess! All were equally delicious and better than I expected. And the polvorone? Well that was awesome. A little chewy, but crumbly and just the right amount of sweetness. Photos are with fork so you can see the size. Can't wait to come back for my Christmas tamales! There was only one person ringing, so you need to grab a tray and pick your own pastries and line up. Definitely know what you want before you get to register. The girl working is very sweet and efficient and helpful.

Came to try the tamales and glad I did! The pork tamales are very close to the way my mom makes them, very delicious! The masa tends to break apart, but other than that they're yummy! The parking lot is small, so go before lunch time to avoid it being full. I haven't tried the Mexican bread yet, but I'll have to try it next time.

My husband and I were out in Riverside yesterday morning and I wanted a little snack. I looked on yelp for tamales. I read some reviews and decided to check this place out. I was a bit concerned about the parking, but the parking lot was pretty empty when we arrived. There were only two people in line in front of me, which was great. I asked for a cheese and jalapeno tamale (my favorite type!), but the cashier told me that they wouldn't be ready for about 10 minutes. I ordered a pork tamale, and I ate it in the car. The pork tamale was very good, so we went back and I ordered cheese and jalapeno, pork, and chicken tamales. Unfortunately, the cheese and jalapeno tamale was my least favorite. There was way too much masa. The chicken was good, but half of it had a bunch of green sauce and the other half was dry. The pork was definitely my favorite. It had just the right amount of spiciness. My quest for a to-die-for cheese and jalapeno tamale continues.

This is a very small homey classic Mexican bakery. If you want authentic pan (bread) you found the right spot! They also have tamales which were awesome and they also have classic Mexican deserts. The service is very friendly and the workers here seem to enjoy their job. Definitely a great spot to go to if you're craving sweets or tamales!

The absolute best tamales. Their chicken is extremely tender, no matter that it is white breast meat. Don't miss out!

Best tamales! Masa is so good don't stop what you are doing it works. I recommend you if using the microwave wrap a wet paper towel around the whole tamale for 2 minutes.

Still to this day the best non-homemade tamales we could find. Other people recommend other places but even after we try them we come back to Yvette's. We never tried the bakery but the tamales are worth every penny. Great flavor and tons of meat. They do not skimp. Our favorites are the chicken and pork but the cheese/jalapeño is a close third!

My husband bought conchitas from this bakery and they were absolutely moist and delicious. However, when i went, conchitas were very, very, very dry. I arrived pretty early in morning, so, not sure if they were left over from day/s prior. Will i go back again? Maybe. But if i do, i will ask when they were baked or wait for fresh ones right outta the oven.

U can taste the quality in every item. Everything tasted the way it should/I remember it. If I can make a suggestion: Cold weather/Christmas season is for champurrado. That, nd tamales r what is missing. Other than that, based on Quality, friendly service, sweet-bread variety, location, among other things, this will keep me coming back.
