Reviews for La Mascota Bakery in Los Angeles, CA
I come here for the tamales. Usually pretty fresh on Sundays. Customer service is good. You can sit inside the bakery and enjoy... your meal. The environment is nice.. looks very "Mexican". You have to park outside on the street and very limited space. Read more
Tamales were super trash i expected much better due to some reviews. Im not boujee but no fork or plate or napkins were given!... "Meat" was like dog food, i tried a chicken and beef Read more
Not much luck at this neighborhood staple despite the other great reviews. The line moved at a very slow pace, despite having a... full staff. I was rejuvenated with excitement for their food after seeing their menu, but don't be fooled. Their cafe de ollawas weak and, dare I say, watered-down. There was no substance to it. Their tamales lacked salt and flavor- it was bland andwatery which made no sense to me whatsoever. Make the trip further east to ELA for consistently better and much more abundanttamales shops. I also ordered a quesedilla pan, which had an uneven distribution of cheese. It was too spongy and didn't havethe dense texture it should have; overall, the flavor was fine, but go to a Salvadorian place to meet your needs. The only standout was the jalapeño and cheese stuffed bollilo! My, oh my, was it tasty and they didn't skimp out on the cheese! Overall, theymay be an institution in the area, but they lack inspiration and consistency in their options for the price. I won't be back. Read more
this was an overall great panaderia! i think their hours are great because i got here at around 6am when most other places... aren't even open and got immediately served. i received great and quick service from the lady behind the counter. the pan dulcei ordered was still warm and didn't last long in the bag once i stepped out. i'll be returning to try some other items on theirmenu.

Love the tamales chicken and cheese they are delicious. The only thing I would suggest from mascota is to let their customers... get updated on their inventory because it?s very crucial to get to the counter and be told they don?t have the item that theywant l! Read more
It took us about a hour to get our tamales and we were left with only 2 choices pork and chicken, so I bought a dozen pork. For... us they were perfect masa to sauce ratio, not to dry and not gushing out with red sauce. It was slightly spicy. I would haveliked more, but it's not a deal breaker. Ordered their champurado and it was probably the best that I've had in a long time. Ilook forward to coming back soon. Read more
Great place for breakfast. They have excellent Mexican goodies like pan dulce, flans, cookies, champurrado, tamales. The price... is reasonable. Good place for kids. The only downside is the parking. There is a small lot in the back. If you are lucky, you'llget one. The service is excellent. They're fast, courteous, and ways smile. Read more
Still the best place for Tamale's. Although, 30.00 dollars a dozen? Times have changed.
