" I visited La Plaza Bakery after hearing so many great things, and while I loved the ambiance and their fresh pan dulce, my experience was marred a bit by the less-than-ideal service. It seems they get overwhelmed quite easily, and I had to wait a while to place my order. The bread itself, though, was phenomenal, and that alone might bring me back. They have a lot of Mexican treats that looked great! " (*Curated Review*)

" I have a special place in my heart for La Plaza Bakery. Their empanadas are bursting with flavor, and you can taste the authenticity. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, perfect for enjoying a treat with friends and family. My only complaint was the speed of service when they are busy, but the fresh bread keeps me coming back! " (*Curated Review*)

" I've recently become a huge fan of their tres leches cake! It's creamy and flavorful, the best I have tried in Salinas. The staff is friendly, although there were moments when it felt like they really needed another person during peak hours. The vibe of the bakery is so welcoming, and the aroma of freshly baked bread is intoxicating! I highly recommend La Plaza to anyone craving authentic Mexican baked goods! " (*Curated Review*)

" I have been coming to La Plaza Bakery for years, and I absolutely love their calzones! They are generously stuffed and taste just like the ones my grandma used to make. The atmosphere feels homey, and I usually enjoy my coffee while soaking in the local vibes. The staff is generally friendly, though I have encountered moments when they seem quite overwhelmed during busy hours. Regardless, it's always worth the wait for such delicious pastries! " (*Curated Review*)

" A hidden gem in Salinas for sure! The moment you step inside, you can smell the freshness in the air. I usually get their chicken enchiladas, which are always packed with flavor. They definitely remind me of my aunt's cooking! However, I do find the prices a bit high for some items. Despite that, the authenticity of their dishes keeps me returning every week. Can't wait to try more of their specialties! " (*Curated Review*)

" This place is an absolute must-visit! The variety and quality of bread they offer is unparalleled. I particularly love their conchas and empanadas. It feels like I stepped straight into a traditional Mexican bakery. The prices are reasonable and the portion sizes are perfect. However, I do wish their seating area was a bit larger, as it can get crowded. Overall, a delightful spot! " (*Curated Review*)

" The Mexican food scene is thriving with La Plaza leading the charge! Their fresh ingredients and keen attention to traditional recipes make this place worth visiting. The tortas are to die for, and the breads always have that perfect fluffiness. Just ensure you're patient during the busy rush, it definitely pays off in quality! " (*Curated Review*)
