Panadería y Restaurante El Zócalo

I came across this place on TikTok and I’m so glad I did! I loved how the daughter promoted her parents’ restaurant, and I had to stop by. We live in San Tan Valley, but since we were in Mesa, we finally got the chance to try it. It’s so hard to find fresh pan in STV, and I love supporting small, family-owned businesses. The breads were fresh and absolutely delicious! I definitely recommend coming early so you don’t miss out on the popular pans. Smiles and good vibes! I would definitely come again. Thank you El Zocalo!

They had vegetarian options!!!!

The place needs a little upgrade but their bread is one of my favorites and food. I still don't care how the place looks as long as the food is good. You go to these expensive trendy places that are so expensive and the food is gross. I prefer good food not esthetics..

This place is a hidden gem! The meat is so flavorful and they had so many pastry options. The jalapeño cream cheese bagel/puff was amazing!! We will be back!

Great authentic atmosphere, fresh baked pastries, chips and salsa were yummy, all around great family owned Mexican restaurant, better than going to a chain

Had been trying to stop by for the past week. Finally went in today. Service was great. I did not eat in, I went in for fresh sweets (pan dulce) for my husbands trip up north. I got quite the variety of pan dulce. Tried one i've never had before. Toasted bread with sweet butter. I am not a sweet tooth gal but when I tell you!!! It was melt in your mouth delicious. I also tried the cream cheese jalapeño filled bolillo... oh my!!! They dont cheat you on the cream cheese. Walking in it smelled great neither of the 2 smells (pan and food) collided. It was very clean and a calm atmoshere. Definately going in again. For sure recommend trying this hole in the wall spot.
