Mi Amigo Restaurant & Bakery

This place is so delicious! Their pan dulce and their champurrado are amazing. Reminds me of home :)

I drive 20m to Fallbrook just to get pan dulce, the quality you can taste! Not too sweet, but not too plain, just right!

There are 4 places that I know of to get pan dulce in Fallbrook. Major Market, El Toro market, Northgate Market and Mi Amigo Panaderia.
Mi Amigo Panaderia has dominated and officially buried all of their competition. This is why…
Major Market and El Toro import their supply from bakeries that are located elsewhere. That’s against the rules for fresh pan dulce.
In my mind, pan dulce should only travel from the panaderia to the place you will be eating it. Besides, who knows how often Major Market and El Toro Market rotate their stock?
That leaves Northgate Market. They are pretty good in a pinch, but they are too busy trying to run a grocery store. They have too much on their plates to be trusted with making good pan dulce. After trying Northgate pan dulce many times, I have found it quick to get all dry and hard if you don’t eat it right away.
El Amigo is reliable. Their pan dulce is always fresh and stays soft. They sell out of pan dulce every day and make new racks of fresh pan dulce every morning. My favorites are the puerquito, ojo de buey and the chocolate conchas.
The staff at El Amigo are quietly focused on making good pan dulce, period. I have always been welcomed and they always provide service with a smile.
Their store is not flashy and has not been updated in forever. They have a little chime that rings when customers come in and out. This chime sounds like it has been smashed with a hammer and makes me laugh every time it goes off. Awesome!

Love the fresh breads from this Panderia. It’s super cheap and fresh. The torta bread here is to die for!

little hole in the wall. good Mexican food but best of all is their Pan Dulce «Mexican Sweet Bread» its to die for. its baked fresh at the restaurant. I recommend this place to anyone :)

The last time I had pan dulce this good I was in south Texas. Excellent bread, a must !!

Amazing Mexican bread! Their white concha is delicious! All of their breads are always fresh. Make sure you go in early on rainy days or else they will run out! Oh and it’s CASH ONLY!!!

I love this place! It’s a little hole-​in-​the-​wall-​ish, but the quality is NOT compromised. I have a new found love for their deep fried tacos, and their bakery bread… AMAZING! Very worth the drive to fallbrook, let me tell you!

Ok… this bakery is just amazing and it still has that «i’m at home» feeling that is hard to find these days. I live in Oceanside but have no problem making the drive because they’re bread is delicious and the big plus is that it costs 3 for $ 1 which is not very common anymore. They have conchas, cuernos, bolillo, empanadas and everything in between.
They also serve food at very descent prices. I’ve only had the enchiladas which are really delicious too. I would recommend this place to anyone looking for some delicious, truly authentic Mexican bread.
They ONLY TAKE CASH so make sure you’re ready! :) The only down side is that service is a little slow, but it is definitely worth the wait!
UPDATE: the bread is 2 for $ 1 now but it’s still darn good so it’s totally ok
