El Gallo Bakery

I'm not sure what's happening with the bread here besides the price hikes, but my favorite was the elote. I've noticed the past couple times I've come here the bread seems smaller in size. I thought maybe I got a bad batch eh I'll try it again next time but time after time it was apparent that the recipe was different. The best thing about this type of bread and the main reason I would stop by was for elotes (despite the rising costs), it was the canela flavoring that it had inside. Well that is no longer detectable as if they changed the recipe. I can't taste any canela flavor it's like pure bread and sugar. Smh this is saddening.

One of the best Mexican bakeries in East Los Angeles. Traditional pan dulce (sweet breads) and crusty and soft rolls. Order at display counter. Just be careful…easy to overdo with all the delectable items. Also hot meats and tamales. Your could order all the fixings here for a complete meal.

This is the only place that I can find in SoCal that serves white mole. To partake in it here, you must order a dish they call "El Velo de Novia" ("the wedding veil," from Spanish), featuring grilled black tiger shrimp drizzled in the sauce, served with a buttery mound of rice. Like most other moles, it is thick, has a piquancy that gradually builds the more you eat of it, but is tough to nail down vis-à-vis exactly what's in it. In addition to chiles, allium, and butter, the creamy mole certainly seems to have white chocolate involved, along with almonds. Due to the influence of the latter two ingredients, it is sweet and tastes like Christmas to me. I enjoyed my mole blanco experience. It's very much unlike other moles, but similar in some ways as well. It is wise that Mexicans serve this only on very special occasions, as it is a bit "much" for an everyday meal -- the density and richness of the mole makes it impossible to eat very much of it without feeling full.

Let me just start by saying that I drive about 25 miles to go buy in what my opinion is the best pan dulce anywhere. From their conchas,empanadas,puerquitos to the cuernos con mantequilla and on and on. They also have tamales and champurrado for purchase as well. If you are looking for some great pan dulce this is definitely the place to go and its definitely worth the drive.
