" After hearing so much about El Pavo, I decided to check it out. The flavors of the food were true to authentic Mexican cuisine. I had the chile verde burrito, which was delightful; however, the portions could’ve been a bit bigger for the price. I also picked up some pan dulce to take home, which my family loved. The only downside was the slightly unwelcoming attitude from one of the staff members, but overall, it was a decent experience. I might consider going back for another try. " (*Curated Review*)

" El Pavo was recommended to me by a friend, and it didn’t disappoint! The pan dulce was fresh and beautifully baked, and I particularly loved the sweet rolls coated in sugar. The tamales had a good flavor but perhaps needed more filling. Prices are reasonable, and the staff was friendly enough. I would definitely return for the bakery items more than the savory. It’s a fun place filled with delightful treats! " (*Curated Review*)

" I was eager to try El Pavo after all the hype. Upon entering, the aroma of fresh bread welcomed me, but my excitement waned when I ordered their famous tres leches cake. It was okay but not as moist as I expected. The staff, while friendly, seemed a bit rushed. I also sampled the pan dulce, which was satisfactory, but it didn’t stand out among other bakeries I’ve been to. I plan to try the savory dishes next time, as I’ve heard great things about them. Still, I have mixed feelings about my experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" I can't say enough good things about El Pavo Bakery and everything they have to offer! I first went there for their pastries, but now I adore their savory menu just as much. The size of the servings is very generous and worth the price. The flavors keep me coming back because they remind me of my grandmother's traditional recipes. The service has fluctuated, but the delicious food outweighs the occasional hiccup. I'll definitely continue to be a loyal customer! " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited El Pavo Bakery for the first time and was quite impressed. The pan dulce selection was abundant, and the empanadas were tasty! My only complaint is that I had to wait a little longer than expected for my order during peak hours. But the staff remained courteous and helpful, so that made up for it. I can't wait to return for another visit and try more of their menu. " (*Curated Review*)

" If you haven’t tried the empanadas at El Pavo, you are missing out! I became addicted to them after my first bite. Every time I visit, I have to get at least a dozen to take home! The service has improved over the years, and the staff is super kind. I also love their champurrado - it’s the perfect companion for the sweet bread! I admire their commitment to preserving authentic Mexican flavors, and the bakery feels like a piece of home. " (*Curated Review*)

" Looking for authentic Mexican bread? Look no further than El Pavo Bakery! I was impressed by their vast selection, and I couldn’t resist getting a few bags full. Tried their famous conchas and empanadas, which were both to die for. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, albeit a bit cramped. Service was decent, but they could improve on efficiency during busy times. Nonetheless, I'm happy to come back again. " (*Curated Review*)
