Valerio's City Bakery

The iconic spot for hot fresh pan de sal that’s delightful with a little butter. There’s also traditional Filipino dishes, pastries and snacks that are all tasty. It’s been a mainstay in National City that’s owned and run by the family it’s named after. Good people!

Came to this location today after watching them on the news. Was very excited because I just moved here. But, I was wrong! Their pandesal was hard and bland. The sales lady even got mad when I ask for refund or exchange. Please do better next time.

There are tons of Valerio’s branches, but this one is by far the best of them all! Everything tastes fresh and authentic—definitely a cut above the rest. I always make it a point to drop by here whenever I’m in San Diego. I really hope they open a branch in LA someday! 🙌

I feel so disappointed with the result of what becomes to chicken Afritada after it was prepared so deliciously by the cook at Valerio (at 8th street next to “Gulong a tire shop) Store owner must instruct their crews serving at the steam line that the steam keeping them warm will continue to cook those poor chicken Afritada & turn them into shredded chicken gravy. The crew must know that steam temperature keeping them warm will turned as hot as 100°F, please instruct the people at the front to watch the temperature of the steam table bc temperature at the steam line could go as high at 100°F+ that will continue cooking the chicken & will result tearing chicken meat apart, the poor chicken Afritada will turn into soggy syrupy consistency.

Rude service!

Excellent place to eat. Super clean and professional. Enjoy.

I am a long time customer.and have always been happy with their food and baked goods since I was young.

My go to for FRESH hot pandesal!! ❤️ Also got a box of cheese rolls. Not sure what happened but cheese rolls barely had any cheese, fortunately we had a block of philly cream for extra spread. Still delicious and staff is always friendly.

We've been going here for decades, dine in or take out. Bitsu bitsu if you get there early enough, pandesal and pancit are my favorites. This is the original store.
