Ponce's Bakery - Downey

Ponce's is located in a strip mall and parking is a bear in their lot, get over it and find a space and go in. It is a tiny place and a little warm inside, get over that as well. This is an amazing Mexican bakery, and they sell food as well. There is not one thing we have tried that we don't like. The cookies with the sprinkles on them are so good and you have to try their watermelon cookies, they are not too sweet at all. They are just wonderful. They also sell bread and everything else you would expect at a full service bakery. The best part of Ponce's is their tamales. They make them there and have a few kinds. We have had the pork and chicken and they are out of this world. The service is super sweet and sometimes the owner is there and if not you may see his brother, a super nice man. You will love this place.

A great little family owned Mexican bakery that has fresh pan dulce and fresh home made tamales! The bread is made fresh every day. Bread is always soft and they have a very large selection to choose from. I could spend hours there! Breads, muffins, coffee cakes, cookies... Tamales are made fresh every day also, and sell out quick, so you either need to be there as soon as they open, or if you know when you need them, it might be easier to place an order ahead of time. Not sure if they make the sweet tamales, (I think they do), but they have chicken, pork, and cheese. Champurrado is good there also, piping hot and very tasty. #SupportLocalBusinesses #Downey

We really love this place and come here often to get bread. Service is always good. Definitely worth the drive for us.

I have no idea what Martha Ramos is talking about about the menudo. Today I drove 32 miles just to try their menudo it's amazing , by the way when you buy menudo you always have to add peppers lemons cilantro onions etc until you make it taste amazing. Probably Marta Ramos is used to eat only menudo from the can. Bueno quiero recomendar este menudo está exquisito ,

Wow just came back from buying tamales and omg they are absolutely delicious!
