El Gallo Bakery

Hadn’t been back here for a minute but Tamales undercooked served with a side of Rude service. Tried the a couple of day old sweet breads, think I’m done here. 🤮

I don't want to say too much positive comments as this place is busy enough. I think if they were open 24/7 they have no problem being busy but I know true bakers need their rest.
This Is my go to place for authentic and tasteful old world recipe baked goods.
Don't get their (cuernitos de mantequia) there all mine and bet you can't eat just 1.
No regrets from this reviewer.

Seems like the frosting on the payasos is not the same from years ago. I remember it being a lighter pink color that would not crumble and fall off the bread. The bread part still tastes the same. The frosting now is a darker pink and does not stick to the break when it dries. Definitely not the same as before.

Sorry to leave bad review, but I pointed to (don’t speak much Spanish) and asked for guava. Either asked “guava and cream?”

I asked for black coffee. Then she forgot my coffee. Then worker asked for.
size and if I wanted cream? I said yes.
What I got was cafe de olla which has spices and sugar. Well I did NOT want sugared coffee. It was delicious, but not what I asked for.

My point is they got the worker got the order wrong for two items.

Picture shows the guava/cream pastry MINUS filling. I got a horrible quality plain puff pastry that is undercooked. Like really poor product.

The pineapple empanada was good. The almond concha was okay. A bit small, seemed a bit stale as it was dry. Not the best, but not the worse.

I was in area. Won’t be back. Prices seemed a bit high compared to my LA bakery. Too bad.

Oh they don’t do Apple Pay which is okay, but worker wanted to see my phone? I paid $12 cash for 3 parties, medium spiced coffee, and bottled mineral water.

It’s a treat for me to eat out. So this was a disappointment.

Today the service left a sour taste in my mouth. I love their bread. A gentleman in front of me that has been going for 53 years was scolded for not requesting boxes from the beginning. He didn't reply. Then I was next and I told her that the server didn't ask. I believe it was the manager and she told server. The lady flat out lied. The same with lady behind me. What poor customer service. How do you scold people in front of all the customers? The server did ask for help from the lady taking stock. I think it was the manager and she told her no. When I arrived it was I and the gentleman. When I left it about 20 waiting. I counted more than five people leaving. I hope to never go thru this again. Show your employees how to treat the customer.

The truth is that some things are halfway good but the truth is that the prices...are very high compared to other places, the food is good and cheap and here the truth is...sorry but I won't be coming back...very expensive... I would say too much

My favorite pan dulce. Pumpkin empanadas are amazing.

This recent visit was the worst I've had . I don't see asking a question turned into you have to pay for that before you order.
Yes I did pay and asking if there were anymore pre made boxes. I'm from out of State with Los Angeles roots. My husband's and family favorite bread. Going out of my way to East LA from surrounding area.
