I really like this place. The lady behind the counter is very nice. I have been trying a different baked item every time I come in here. There is about 100 different kinds to choose from. The pineapple tart was the best so far. This is also one of my alternatives to Starbucks. The coffee here is okay if you come here before 9AM, otherwise it gets cold. They keep it in a vacuum pot on the counter.
I seem to have all these ambiguous ratings, I want 4.5 stars, but 5 will do. I think this is an amazing little place with an amazing not-so-little deal. Get the Cubanas torta, there is like everything concieveable on that thing, not to mention that it's a pretty good deal too. You cannot go wrong with a sandwich the size of your face filled with meaty, cheesy, eggy, everything goodness. And I say wow. Even with a 1/2 liter of the glass bottle Coke (yes the Mexican kind), it's under $10. I heart tortas now, and I've gotta go back for more...
Can I just say mmmmmmm. I love this place. I went for the first time a few days ago and had some tacos. I've been back almost every other day. I tried the beef taco and the meet was perfect. It didn't have all that fat that you'll find in all the other places. I decided to give the chicken a chance and I was pleasantly surprised. It was all white meet and none of those pieces that you wonder what part it came from. They put beans avocado and top it off with some gooood cheese. I think its hands down the best taco I've had in a long time. I still need to try the rest of the menu.
I still remember the morning I discovered this place. I was walking to work hungover after drinking all night at a friend's house. They were open early and the scent of fresh baked sweet bread (note: not sweet breads, BIG diff) that I remembered from my childhood lured me in.
I bought an oreja and a chocolate concha then discovered that they make a traditional Mexican lunch sandwich called a torta. Went back that day for lunch and tried one: tasted just like the ones I used to have in Mexico on lazy afternoons.
Service is friendly, the location is convenient, and the food and bread are excellente. If you haven't been to Mexico, this place epitomizes the tiny family run multi-purpose shops you'll find in small towns.
BONUS: Mexican soft drinks. Orale.

Used to go here when I was at SJSU. I still go here when I crave their mexican bread. They have a nice selection of sweet bread. I've had some of their menu items but not enough. This place is really good.
Try the Tortas, they are excellent. You won't need any sides, as this is a massive sandwich. A little-known place in San Jose, excellent for a quick lunch when you are burnt out on pizza or burritos.
Mmmmm, tortas. Don't get me wrong, the pastries are excellent, but the tortas are where it's at. A friend of mine introduced me to this place when I used to live and work downtown. I am quite a picky eater and had never had a torta before but one was all it took. The bakery is a tiny little hole in the wall so I always forget it's there, but if you love tortas or have never tried one before, I highly recommend this place. Also, the service is very good and the ladies that work here are sweet and helpful.

oh my goodness i love this place. everyone who is going down the street to el sabroso or la victorias has got their head screwed on backwards. this bakery is where it's at.
i'm a gringo, so i'm not so into the pink and yellow and white sweetbreads served in the morning - but the plain crossoints are really good. i used to stop in a pick one up on my way to work (now i feel too guilty over the flakey buttery goodness to do it more than once a month).
the real prize here are the lunch TORTAS! ye gods. please go asap. please order the carnitas torta. so much delicious avocadoy, mayoed, tomatoy, oily pork goodness. it's sublime. sometimes the carnitas is shredded, sometimes it comes more in whole pieces - i'm not sure why the inconsistancy, but nonetheless, it is *always* good.
i was also in here during the world cup. they propped a flat screen tv over the coke fridge, and everyone crowded in, glued to the matches. it was great fun, all of us talking excitedly to each other in a mismash of spanish and english, but completely understanding each other anyway.

I often walk here and grab two or three pastries for breakfast on weekend mornings. The selection is large and I'm still trying different things. They have traditional (I think) Mexican baked goods like sweetbreads, as well as more familiar items like turnovers and danish-type things. Some items are better than others; I've found several things that I like but I also like trying new items. The service has always been friendly.
Goodness!!!! The Carne Asada Torta I had here was DELICIOUS!!!!! The Torta alone deserves five stars! The service is awsome too! The woman behind the counter was super sweet....so sweet that she convinced me to order some fresh squeezed orang juice to go with my Torta!!! I rolled in with a major hangover......I won't even go into that one......and I left with a happy stomach and a smile on my face!!! Thank you Mexico Bakery for helping me get over my bad day :-)

We came in here semi-drunk after a night out at Mission Ale House next door, and must have ate half of their carne asada tacos supply. Tacos were kinda small but they were good, with alot of avocado and supposedly the "authentic" kind of cheese.

this place has pretty nice meals - healthy clean meats - which i like a lot - i even tried most of their dishes. on occasions i take their taco salad as well. the people are very nice and pleasant. their chocolate covered pound cake always screams 'pick me, eat me' :).
