El Folklor Bakery

Service was very quick. I got a bunch of concha's and they were really good. The bread was the perfect level of sweet and the topping (craquelin) was more generous than I usually see which really made it for me.

The lady upfront with the silver teeth short changed me. She said I only gave her 30 when I just came from the bank and only had 20's on me.I called her on it, but it was no use

Just moved to the area and drove by on my way to work. I was so excited to stop by the next morning to bring some pastries in for my coworkers. It was my first time ever going to a bakery like this where you self serve. The lady with the tight bun hairstyle was soooo RUDE. I am a cheerful and friendly person, and I get along with everyone. She wouldn't say a word to me. Even still, I kept it super cheerful and polite and even wished her a good day. My coworkers enjoyed the pastries.Second visit, I took my family on a Saturday. The same lady was chatting it up and extra smiley with a Hispanic gentleman. As soon as he left, she was completely rude to me and my family. She wouldn't say a word to us even though we wished her a good morning and a good day. She over charged me ringing me up for 12 cinnamon twists and I got a variety of plain donuts and a few speciality. My husband was very upset in the car because he couldn't believe how rude the lady was although I kept my polite friendliness towards her. At first I thought maybe it may be a language barrier, but no, it wasn't. I have so many Hispanic friends, some who have familia that can't speak English, and nobody has ever acted the way she did. She is just down right rude. Strolling thru the comments, I see I'm not the only one who has experienced this rudeness.It's a shame too. Because I won't be back. This business should move her to the back if she is going to have an attitude towards certain customers. Your customers are what keep doors open. No need to be rude especially when you're being treated with such cheerful kindness. I'll have to find another small business to support. Again, it's the lady with the bun pulled tight.

This is the third time and last time I come to this bakery. The past two times I figured it was just bad luck. But it seems like a trend that on Sundays they have no problem selling all stale bread. I bought one maranito, two chamucos, one jelly roll and one cookie with sprinkles. ALL of them were stale. I was going to buy the pink bread but I saw that the frosting had started to run into the cake, which is a clear indication that the bread is old (that should have been my factor in not buying there). Anyways, this happened the last two times, too. I called them to ask about this and they just said "Sorry". If they didn't do anything about the last two times, I doubt they will do anything about it now. Lesson learned. But I'll definitely be taking my business elsewhere instead of paying so much for two day old sweet bread.

The tamales there are some of the best I've tasted. But they only have them on the weekends and normally they run out by or around noon unless something has changed since I last went.

Love the people , baked goods always amazing, my kids love going before school. Barbacoa on the weekends and homemade tortillas! Love this place is a gem!

Stay away from these people. They are rude as hell!! Also, got 1 pound of Barbacoa and they gave me 2 salsa I asked for more and the attitude.... I stopped going to this place years ago because of this problem, the rudeness and they won't give you salsa with your order.... however, I decided to give this place another try and the same problem I encountered.

Went to El Folklor Bakery this afternoon. It was my fourth Mexican bakery visit in San Antonio. I didn't find anything special about this place. We purchased a lot of their pastries. They were terrible. The good reviews were n here must be fake reviews or the people making these positive comments have never been to a good bakery and have low standards. I have been to Mi Tierra restaurant downtown; they have a decent bakery. I was raised in a larger city with many ethnic choices for baked goods; I know what good bakery products taste like. This place is absolutely terrible. I will never visit them again. I've included the aftermath of my bad experience in the photo. I bit into and chewed out $20 worth of baked goods. Not much money but not worth the $2 it took to make this stuff... skip this place and spend your hard earned money elsewhere.

Stumbled across this bakery because I had to take a detour off of 35 on my way to work. I make it a point to stop by anytime I have a detour. Apple fritters are the best I've had in a long time. All my coworker loves the apple fitters as well. I'm give this bakery five stars based on the apple fritters alone.

Great selection. Everything looked fresh. Will definitely be back again. Saw that they have tamales on the weekend
