La Poblana Bakery

I was waiting for the metrolink when I had a sudden urge to eat a freshly baked bread. So I stumbled into this bakery and the staff was very friendly and nice. They had quite a selection of bread. My favorite was their cuernos, it was so soft and delicious. There dark coffee was very good. If you're out there waiting for the metrolink, I highly recommend you to stop by at this place.

Cheats you on the weekend!
27 for a dozen tamales
A couple days later it's 36 for the same dozen
They cost MORE on the weekend is what the worker said. So nine dollars more because that's stupid.
Can't support a local business that does not respect their customers.

What a rip off!
Might as well buy Trader Joe's $7 for 4 tamales.

The place is super cute. Fully stocked with baked sweet bread. I had been looking forever for my favorite Mexican sweet, sevillano and they have it. Service is fast and the lady that helped me was very kind. I know I'll be visiting again when I'm in town.

Been here since I've been young and lately they have been doing such a bad job on giving us our orders I've waited for over 20-30 min for an order of champurrado, and there's only about 2 or 3 people in front of me. There is also a man there that is very rude didn't get his name but he's a total jerk.

I had a craving for tamales and I read this place was pretty good. I ordered 2 tamales to go. I have to say they were not anything close to what I was hoping they would be. Fist off I couldn't tell which was pork and which was beef.  They both pretty much tasted  bland  and were disappointing.

We came in today  11/22/2020, pick up some pastries and two and half dozen of the tamales. A dozen  pork, and chicken and half of the cheese and jalapeño tamales. My hun's family has been coming here for ages! Definitely worth the trip! Sorry no pictures of the tamales but definitely better than the supermarket and far better then some homemade ones! Will definitely return and a must support small business! Thanks!

I used to love and always recommend la poblana, I'm really upset this place really went downhill with new management. There's a line to wait to go into the shop but workers don't seem to care if people just cut in front of the whole line.
We ordered bolio, 2 menudos and 2 tamales so unless you're buying bread be ready to wait a long time for your food with the male owner just taking no regard of the order that the food should be given out to guests. Waited almost 40 minutes with others who ordered after us getting the same or more food already given their order. Our food was sitting there for a long time too til it was called.

Love this place for pan dulce and champurrado!!! I listed hours and they take debit card. Not sure if I got a bad batch but tamales I got Saturday were dry and salty. Not buying those again

The Best when it comes to menudo to go and the sizes of that are truly reasonable a medium is $5 tortillas +50 cents. Grabbed two conchas and my dad loved them! That alone is a really good sign!

This fine mom and pop operation reminds me of what Santa Ana used to have years ago. Does any one remember "Los Grandes" on Grand st in front of our Lady of Guadalupe? Ok just in case you just showed up I will give you a sound bite.

It is a simple set up because it is ONLY CASH and then you get your order. Basically you take it home or most it is to go! The menudo meat was crunchy like it is supposed to be. Great flavor and no extra charge for hominy. Again, like it is supposed to be!  To me this reminds me alot of what "Los Grandes" used to be.

When I walked in Sunday morning for my menudo run their was no line and only 3 folks waiting for their order. Only one cashier and her English was acceptable.

pros,
Lots of easy parking  
BEST Pan Dulce in Orange!
Great menudo
Fantastic tamales

cons
nowhere to really eat
take out only
CASH ONLY
no bathrooms

My conclusion; In my many experiences coming into this fine mom an pop operation. It can get really busy during rush hour. Basically it is a Mexican bakery and for most it is just to take out. Great if you ask me especially, if you do not feel like cooking! This is one those classic stops that you should, have on your check list! I am a true fan and I love Poblana! Additionally, I only really drop in twice a year and that is during fall. The Menudo is perfect!

Old school feel of a bakery, walked in on a Sunday, 2 hours before closing and the selection was really bad. Will give them a second chance on another occasion.
