Valerio’s Family Bake Shop

Only take cash

I originally ordered two dozen turon via phone at this Valerio's location one day prior to pick up. The ambiance is pretty dated and there's only enough room to stand and place and/or wait for your order.

When I arrived at the store this morning, I informed the lady that I'm going to pick up my order of two dozen turon. The lady replied and said, "oh we thought you only ordered one dozen." I insisted and specified that I explicitly ordered two dozen and not one dozen of turon. I felt disappointed with their incompetence of listing my order incorrectly. The staff said the other lady misheard my order. They couldn't sell me any further turon since another customer has already ordered ahead for 7 turon on display. I still paid for the one dozen turon that costs $15.60 cash. The lady apologized for their mishap, but I am still disappointed at this Valerios.

My disappointment worsened when I brought the turon to my potluck, the turon was hella soggy and not sweet enough. The plantains itself were very soggy and did not have enough langka (jackfruit) and arnibal (caramlized brown sugar). It's kind of a blessing in disguise that my order ended up being one dozen because of their subpar taste and quality. After my catastrophic experience at this Valerios and tasting their subpar turon, it is very unlikely that I will order turon or any baked goods at this location. You're better off ordering turon somewhere else. Hay nako po, nakakadismaya at nakakahiya.

Small, but full little bakery. Fresh, warm pandesal available and I love the ube pandesal with halaya filling and this like sweet crumble on the top. Super good. My daughter calls it her purple bread lol. Very affordable too if I were closer I would be here all the time. Highly recommend! Be prepared though it’s CASH ONLY!

Kid-friendliness: Lots of stuff at child height to grab, but kids will love looking at all the treats!

Good philipino bread Hot and sift

Culture, memories, good food.

Padesal is good.

their bread is dirty.

Vroomed by today to pick up Pilipino treats to share @ yet another business meeting. Order ahead to enjoy a whole carmelized Flan pie or the delicious bright purple Ube Cake. I was good scoring a dozen pan de sals: some choose the fuschia hued ube cake, pimento cheese or pineapple turnovers, or tuna or xioao baeng pork, fun fillings. Pan de sal is pillowy Pilipino central bread or roll. It is made fresh 6 times daily here. Very friendly pair of cashier & chef. There’s a Rite-Aid in the mini-mall of dubious pedigree, a great frozen yogurt shop, & a newly remodeled Filipino fry your own & market. I love great parking. I try not to drip frozen yogurt all over the upholstery of my vroom vroom on the way home. Most times, my will power is stronger than meeting immediate needs. Oh. Yay. Frozen yogurt & fried tilapia & pan de sal for later.

Love their turon. Love their baked goodies.

Good Philippines bakeshop at the heart of LA. Just the simple Filipino bake items like the pandesal, empanada, egg & buko pie, etc. Completely reasonable price.

Excellent Chicken Empanada at Valerio is way better than the Argentinian version.Crust is firm yet moist with a nice mouthfeel. Generously packed with soft, stewed, shredded chicken that is pleasantly sweet, meaty with a bit of earthy carrots.

Love their turon. Love their baked goodies.
