Corita Bakery - El Monte

This is a WARNING! Do NOT buy bread here; it’s the worst bread I’ve ever had in my life. We had to throw it all out, including the bolillos. I could taste a greasy residue after the first bite, and the bread was stale and lacked flavor.

Everything is good here but they never seem to make Calabasas pumpkin empanadas cuz they claim it's too hot but it's not hot baking all the other breads and pastries ?

I was looking for a panadería that took cards instead of just cash only near my house. On my way to another one outside El Monte, I drove by Corita Bakery. The staff was very friendly, the pan dulce was fresh and well-stocked, and they accept cards. Found my new local panadería! I can't wait to come back and try their tamales.

I just come here at 5 am for avena and sometimes hot conchas. I love their conchas.

Bolillos for $1 each are always freshly made and delicious! I finally tried their menudo, and it's the best in the area—no surprise they sell out so quickly. They serve it in a generous 32oz portion, along with either bolillos or tortillas.
