" El Pavo is a fantastic place for fresh bakery goods! I love their variety of pan dulce, and I make it a point to buy a few different types each visit. The hot food portions are generally generous too! I often take my family there, and we all enjoy our meals together. The only downside would be that it gets quite busy, but it's definitely worth it for the flavors and experience! " (*Curated Review*)

" I first came to El Pavo years ago for their impressive selection of pan dulce, and I still rave about it! Each bite is a delight; the flavors are robust, and you can taste the love put into their baking. I made some friends here by chatting with fellow customers while devouring my treats. However, my last visit saw some stale pastries, which was disappointing. I trust it’s just a fluke, and I’ll continue coming back to support this local gem! " (*Curated Review*)

" I stumbled on El Pavo Bakery when searching for a place to satisfy my sweet tooth, and I wasn't disappointed! The smell of freshly baked bread filled the air, and the selection was amazing. Their chocolate cake and the tres leches were delightful. Although the dining area was a bit cramped, it added to the charming ambiance of the place. However, I feel like the cakes could be a bit more refined compared to what I've had elsewhere. Overall, great for a quick sweet treat! " (*Curated Review*)

" I was excited to try El Pavo after hearing so many positive reviews. The bakery selection is indeed lovely, and I enjoyed a piece of tres leches. However, the hot food disappointed me a bit; it felt a bit bland and uninspired. I think they excel in baked goods but need some improvements in their savory offerings. The atmosphere felt lively, but some of the customer service could be tightened up. I would come back but lean towards purchasing sweets. " (*Curated Review*)

" As a regular at El Pavo, I can confidently say it's the best spot in town for authentic Mexican treats! Their pan dulce collection is remarkable and always fresh. The staff is usually friendly, but I’ve encountered a few who were a bit brusque. I recommend going early to avoid the crowds. My current obsession is their hot chocolate and sweet bread combo—they pair perfectly! Just an all-around great spot for baked goods. " (*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*)
