Panificadora Bakery

The food is truly delicious at panificadora. We have eaten there many times, we were never disappointed.

So disappointed!!! Save yourself a trip. This review is more for the food. I brought my mom here and she ordered the 2 hard shell tacos special. This looked like a kid's meal with super small portions. The taco shells were premade and stale. Not very much meat or cheese. The beans were bland and didn't have any beans, just blended bean paste. The rice was bland and cold. Tiny portions and didn't taste good at all. $13 just for that, not even worth $5.

TL;DR 11/10, great first impression, will definitely be coming back to explore more of what amazing creations this place has to offer. Literally just walked in on a whim today. I come from an area where authentic Mexican culture is not really common. So I decided that, on a rainy day, I'm going to experience an authentic panderia for the first time. The girl behind the counter was really helpful in explaining some of the different foods they specialized in. That's when she pointed out the torta del tamal on the menu. I gave her my trust and ordered both the pork and chicken to go at $4 each; an amazing price. I collected my food while she muttered "hope you like it."Trust me I did. In the back of my mind I was sitting there thinking about the double carb and how consistency might clash, and wondered how onion and mayonnaise fits into this whole combo and so on and so forth. But the chaos of all these ringing questions were quelled upon impact of the first bite.Freshly baked torta bread with a warm tamale with tender meat in every bite almost like a patty, marinated in their respective sauces with a gentle bite from the sweet onion and savory finish from the mayonnaise. This is a simple delight that speaks directly to the soul. This place is one among few of the truly hidden gems that Costa Mesa has to offer. I'm glad that I got the chance today to begin a new expedition into a goldmine of culture and tradition baked fresh every day. If you don't believe me, take a chance and try it for yourself.

Ordered a tres leches from here for my baby shower and it was amazing! It was the most beautiful cake, moist, fresh and delicious! Super happy and cannot recommend enough.

Stopped by this place at random today and it was ok. I ordered myself a torta cubana today and it had very little to practically no pineapple which saddened me :( I love pineapple in my torta cubana & I asked the server if it came with pineapple & she said it did. The torta itself was good, different from other torta cubana's that I've tried but it was decent. It had lots of chorizo, Milanesa, & little bit of Ham. The place is small, but was kept tidy & clean. I didn't get to try their bakery items, but they sure looked tasty. This place doesn't have a menu for you to look through as you sit, it's an order at the counter type of place. Overall this place was ok. I give it a 3 because it seemed a bit pricey at $11 for a torta & no drink, I wasn't given napkins, & my torta lacked pineapple.

If I'm being honest this has to be the best authentic Mexican food spot/bakery you can go to in Costa Mesa forget about northgate this little family owned spot has everything you can imagine literally any type of food, drink, they have it! This place has the best tamales and hot homemade drinks if you are looking for a snack or even dinner this is your spot to go you won't regret it!
