Editorial Review for El Chico Bakery – by Cindy Teasdale
In Short
El Chico is a true-blue neighborhood bakery; the bilingual mother-daughter team behind the counter greet many customers by name, often slipping into the back and returning with bags chock-full of sumptuous surprises. The teeny takeout shop offers traditional Mexican specialties like conchas--sweet bread baked with colorful icing--and fruit-filled empanadas, as well as more typical cookies and pastries. But it's the rock-bottom prices that really impress: $5 will buy enough goodies for a small army.

This bakery is extremely friendly. Their tres leche cake is wonderful! I am going back again. Keep up the great work!
Pros: Delicious
Cons: Price a little high, but I'm cheap. I want everything for free.

This place has pretty good pan (hispanic sweet bread) but their cakes are terrible. I ordered a birthday cake for 50 people there and the cake was stale and just gross. I had also had my wedding cake order placed there and when I went to cancel it due to the poor product I recieved from them they didn't want to refund me my $200.00 deposit. Not good business.
