    I recently visited Mexico Bakery in San Jose, CA, and it was an incredible experience! The customer service was top-notch—the staff was welcoming, friendly, and went above and beyond to ensure a great visit. You can tell they genuinely care about their customers, which made the experience even better. The highlight, of course, was the freshly made bread, which is some of the best you’ll find in San Jose. Soft, warm, and packed with flavor, it’s a must-try. Their tortas are equally amazing, filled with fresh ingredients and bursting with authentic Mexican flavors. If you're searching for the best Mexican bakery in San Jose, Mexico Bakery should be at the top of your list. Highly recommend!

    We came here after hiking nearby. This bakery has a big variety of pastries and cakes and legit food, so we sampled quite a few items - the carne asada torta was huge and filled with meat and fresh avocado, the pollo quesadilla was super cheesy and came with good salsa, and the choco flan was not too sweet and had a good creaminess. There was a short wait since service was slightly slow in the afternoon, but the food was good.

    Best tortas de Lomo in the Bay Area, which are hard to find, not many restaurants offer this dish. Other tortas in the menu are also delicious. Good pan dulce as well. Tasty fresh aguas dulces, horchata and piña.

    Súper clean bakery, everything I tried was delicious. Customer service is great as well, they are all smiles and ready to take your order as soon as you walk in. The only challenge is the parking lot, I would recommend you to park on the street as the parking space is not big enough, it actually took me 10 minutes to wait for other cars to make a u turn as there is no way out in the back.

    I’ve known about three locations around San Jose, and this location has been by far the most popular, yet, most convenient from my house. Though the plaza is small, it is bustling with people coming in and out of the different stores, and Mexico Bakery happens to be one of those panaderías where you just can’t get enough. They have a wide array of selections, from pan, to aquas frescos, to atole and champurrado (in the winter), to much more. However, the one season that I enjoy the most is when they make the Rosca de Reyes for Día de Reyes (also known as “Day of the Kings”). Fun fact: did you know that every single rosca they make is ACTUALLY from scratch? Makes for a reason why they’re so popular, especially when it’s on a holiday. In addition, their arroz con leche is one of the BEST in the region — probably better than the ones they sell at the supermercados in Eastside. Infused with raisins and bits of cinnamon that you can still taste, it melts RIGHT in with the milk and it’s so delicious that you simply can’t get enough of it. The people who work at this location are VERY nice and very helpful — and they create a sense of community for newcomers and regular customers. This has become not only my partner’s favorite panadería to come to when he comes to San Jose, but it’s also become my favorite panadería as well when I want more cheaper, affordable, yet sweet options. A lot of people say that the atmosphere at Mexico Bakery is not really in its best condition — but in my opinion, they do a fine job of keeping everything clean in front of the store and at the counter as well.

    Fun bakery with lots of selections. Delicious Mexican bread and rolls. You can get cakes for any occasion. Try the tortas. The hot chocolate is so good. Grab a piñata for the party.
