Great experience from the moment I found them on Unilocal!I messaged the owner Ryan who promptly messaged me back, answered all my questions and made sure he accommodated all my requests for a tres leche birthday cake. The cake exceeded every expectation of mine in taste, presentation, and great value for money. All the guests loved the cake. Very flavorable, highly recommended!

The tres leches cake is so good! The circular one is only $ 15 and big enough to feed 12 – 16. The employees there are also super friendly. They can write a message on the cake for you and when they heard us talking about star wars, offered to give us some star wars toy rings as toppers on the cake. I brought this to a party and so many people asked me where I got the cake.

So very, very, friendly. Picked up a cake from the fridge. Brought it to the register. Asked about customizing the cake – before I was done asking, someone was already from the kitchen with a frosting bag to write whatever I wanted on the cake. Then, without asking, she grabs a stool, climbs up to a top shelf and grabs some decorations and shows them to me and asks if I’d like some decorations for the cake. Customized cake(which was really good, by the way) out the door in like 3 minutes.

Had to pick up a bday tres leches cake for someone. Drove deep into Santa Ana because if we’re going to go with tres leches, I don’t play. They had quite a few cakes in the display case and all very reasonably priced. I got the medium round for $ 15 and it easily serves 10. The gal who helped me was very helpful. This parking lot is pretty cramped. Could be a little sketch but hey it’s true Santa Ana. No issues though. This place is cash only.

Hands down the best bread outside of Mexico. My family has been coming here for years and the bread is always fresh. My favorite are the conchas and my wife always gets the puerquitos. They have a Choco-flan that is absolutely delicious as well. They also made our wedding cake at a very affordable price. THISPLACEISHIGHLYRECOMMENDED!!!

My first Moca tres leches! I came looking for a tres leches cake for my husband’s birthday but all the tres leches had a very feminine décor. When I said it was for a guy, they showed me some with blue roses… I decided to go for something else. Service was excellent, he was very friendly and even opened one of the individual slices they sell so I could taste it for free and even offered me to take it home. Although it was not as moist and sweet as the traditional tres leches, it was good and had a strong coffee flavor which is the other thing my husband loves so it worked out. The parking lot can feel a bit ghetto but it’s a small store so you just go in an out quickly…

will never recommend this place to anybody else. great taste. horrible, super bad service. Ordered 3 cakes from this bakery in the past few years for special events and they become worse everytime. do not provide the type of bread asked. not to trust their catalogs either. they seem to expierement the cake by looking at a picture.

I wandered in here one day and ended up picking up some pan dulce to take home. Since that day I have never gone anywhere else for pan dulce or cakes. My husband and I even ended up using them for our wedding cake. We received many compliments about the cake from our guests. It was not only really tasty, but absolutely beautiful. This panadería never disappoints. The service here is great, too! Very nice people, and helpful when you don’t know exactly how much you need.

We were recommended to this place by a close family friend and boy are we happy we came here. I am half Mexican but this place blows anything I am used to out of the water. We now use this place for all of our birthdays and were lucky enough to use them for our wedding. All 310 guests loved the cake and we are grateful to this day for them accommodating our wedding in Los Angeles. I like the tres leches the most. I highly recommend this place but more importantly, my Mexican mother does as well.

This place was recommended by a friend. Picked up a cake for my wife’s birthday and some pan dulce for myself. They did not disappoint.

Fresh Mexican bread that is unlike the one you find at any grocery store. I live in Anaheim and I gladly drive there once in a while to get the delicious bread. Plus, it is cheap! AND it is right next to El Toro market so you can get some good carnitas next door.

As far as Mexican pan dulce(sweet bread) goes, this place has been making the BEST bread in orange county. This was called Ruben’s Panaderia(bakery) back in the day but its now called El Metate Panaderia. The name changed but the recipes stayed the same! You can find people buying bread all day even through the night. They also make excellent 3 leches cakes, mexican gelatins, and flans. You can preorder a cake for any occasion. You can even buy huge slices of 3 leches cakes. The parking lot is compact and combined with the busy nature of the nearby businesses, it sometimes may take a while to park. Don’t let that deter you from stopping in if you want the best pan Dulce around. They only take cash so keep that in mind.
