This place has been around for years and years. You know why? Because they have the BEST pan dulce and CARNITAS in town. The pan dulce is made with something very special I don't know what it is but the bread is so rich and delicious. Now the carnitas, ay Dios mio. Crispy on the outside and soft and flavorful on the inside. That salsa is on another level of goodness. This little bakery provides so many flavors under one roof. Oh and the girls working there are extremely polite and friendly! I live in Las Vegas now but whenever I come to visit family I make sure to stop by and get all the good stuff 😁

The carnitas were delicious with the nice burnt ends and the green and red pork tamales had great flavor in the meat and masa. Unfortunately, they were out of beef and chicken tamales.

I was referred to LA Moderna by a friend who swore by their tamales. He wasn't lying. They are delicious. One of the best around Pico Rivera and Whittier. I used to go to Durans bakery in Pico, but they no longer make tamales. La Moderna has freshly made pan as well. For the past two years, I have gotten my Christmas tamales here. My entire family loves them. You won't be disappointed. Now, I understand people have different taste buds and some may not like their tamales, but for us normal people, you'll love them. Give them a shot, you won't be disappointed.

If you like carnitas this is the spot to get them, you won't be disappointed.
Good tamales but 33.00 per dozen they are not that good plus the inconvenience of getting them not worth it

Been coming here for years , But not coming back I ordered 12 tamales 8 red pork /4 cheese they were undercooked. I had ordered 8 red pork and four cheese, but received 8 red pork and 4 pork green this happens more often …the size of tamales are small very pricey and when calling the store no one ever answers.. what’s upsetting is that all spent big bucks than through them away. I can handle errors once in awhile but all the time no way…And the pan Dulce is old… Sincerely, never coming back for the tamales.

This place was recommended by person for wich they offered me a tamale it was very good. so I figured I go and try it, so today I went and the door was unlocked and it was 6:45 they open at 7 I never heard of a bakery open at 7am so basically the two guys shoood me away 😂 by 15 minutes to 7am I came from Orange County too be shoood away 😂 I’ll just stick to local
This establishment has been here for years. Tasty pan dulce (sweet bread). They also offer a variety of tamales daily, but you gotta get them early. They also have great carnitas (meat). It's a small Mom & Pop store but very popular. Check it out next time you're in the area. Btw, it's a take out situation ??

But when I do it's worth it. The vibe is quaint could be a bit more friendly a Lil more attentive to the customers like your grateful say hello or thanks for being a customer come again.maybe that's just me..??
