El Gallo Bakery is a well-loved local spot that has been serving the community since 1949. Their bread is soft and fresh, making it a popular choice. Customers enjoy cafe de olla and champurrado, especially in the mornings when they are warm and comforting. The bakery offers a variety of sweet treats, including conchas, which are hit-or-miss but still enjoyed by many. The "cuerno de mantequilla" is a highlight, with its heavy, buttery, slightly sweet, and crunchy edges that many find irresistible—some say you can't eat just one. Tamales are decently priced and filling, though their quality can sometimes depend on the staff. The bakery also features rice pudding, which may not be the best, but the overall focus on tradition and good ingredients is clear. Customers often praise the freshly baked breads, especially during holidays. The bakery's ability to adapt to last-minute orders shows their commitment to customer satisfaction. Despite being busy, El Gallo Bakery remains an essential destination for authentic Mexican baked goods and pastries in LA. Whether visiting for the first time or a regular stop, this family-owned bakery continues to draw loyal fans with its delicious breads and treats.
