Pasteleria 3 Luceros

I used to drive out to Bell Gardens just for churros. So I got excited when I heard about this churro place closer to home. I tried the churros here and they were good but not great. They reminded me of high school when a man would sell churros from a box just like these were in. They’re so average in a good way.
Their churros are up there compared to other places like El Pollo Loco and Costco, or churros from the frozen foods aisle at the grocery store, but it’s not the best I’ve ever had. Realistically I’d give them 3.5 stars, so I’m rounding up.

I love tres leches cake. this place had the best one by far. portos, tropicana have nothing on this place. it was moist, dense, made to perfection. this place is gon make it hard for me to be on a diet! definitely going to support this local business.

A co-​worker brought us some Churros Saturday. They are delish! Warm and crunchy we loved them.

We came here to test the quality and compare to another bakery in Bell Gardens since we learned the price went up to $ ⁴⁰⁄₁₀₀. Esperanza politely greeted me on the phone as well as in person. We ordered 12 pieces for $ 6. She had them ready for us as we walked in. We told her we were going to test them first before ordering 300 for our school fundraiser next week. We rushed back to our car to try 1from the warm pink box with the delicious aroma; we were pleased with the results. They were delicious and met our expectations. They were warm, crispy on outside, and moist inside. No raw parts. The size is comparable to the other bakery but the price is $ ³⁵⁄₁₀₀. So now we have a new goto place for our future churro fundraisers. Thank you Esperanza!

I have ordered at Luceros couple of times now.
Their churros are amazing. Its cheap and they take phone order. I usually order 50 churros and bring it to a pot luck. every one loves it!

Best tres leches cakes ever! The bread is dense and moist!

I pass this on my way to work and noticed they had a sign for fresh churros. Decided to drop in last week on my way to work to pick up some «Fresh Churros» for my co-​workers. When I walked in I was greeted by a nice young man and asked them if they had more churros besides the ones sitting in the display looked like they had been sitting a while, I ordered a dozen and he stated he had more in the back. I was like great so I purchased a dozen and off to work I go. We usually have coffee so I was ready for my churro well I grabbed one out of the bag and was so disappointed, it was so hard and did not taste fresh at all. I really felt like the guy knew these were probably day old ones and not fresh and I would of rather had him let me know and ask me If I wanted to wait for fresh ones because this batch was horrible. It was early so I probably should of known better but I have been to bakeries where they tell you if there day old. That’s to bad because I’m always taking baked goodies to work and had these been fresh I probably would of stopped by again.

This place always takes me out of a jam for family events. I always take fresh made churros which my family loves. I get 50 churros for $ 20. They are a hit with the familia

This is not part of the other Lucero bakeries. But personally I like these churros more! They’re a little more expensive but it’s not that major of a difference. The service is always friendly and they’re open 7 days a wk from 7am-​8pm!
Remember, a churro a day is the only FDA approved anti-​depression treatment… *cough… Ok, that might not be completely true. Give them a shot!

The place is tiny for a bakery, however the lady that owns the place is super sweet! We bought churros here after the barber shop appointment next door and they made us come back for more! They’re delicious! They are soft, warm, and just enough crunch! The churros are also huge! Definitely more bang for you buck kind of deal!

I placed an order for a Minnie Mouse cake for my daughter’s party and when we went to pick it up, it wasn’t ready! They told us to come back in an hour. Luckily, we lived nearby. The quality of the cake was good and we have ordered with them many times. Our issue this time was the design of the cake was nothing like we had discussed when ordering.

I purchased my friends baby shower cake here. We decided on tres leches, I ordered it the night before and when I picked it up I asked «Is this gonna be the best tres leches cake I have ever tasted?» The man boxing up the cake was hesitant and said «uhh its not like wet but it’s really moist» I was already like FUCK! I can’t believe this!!! I was scared and slightly embarrassed that this cake was not going to be up to par, the guy didn’t even answer my question. The decorations were whatever, but I had told the girl taking my order the decorations weren’t important, the frosting did taste very good though. ANYWAYS, the cake was cut and i noticed that it was not looking too moist. in fact it was looking a little dry and burnt. Only the top part of the cake was delicious and the bottom part was dry and gross. Everyone said how good it was, but I was not satisfied and I felt that no one was gonna tell me if the cake was nasty anyways. Regardless, I paid 60 dollars for a ½ sheet cake that was not the best tres leches cake I had ever tasted.

This place deserves 0 stars. I ordered a 3 leches bday cake and asked for the cake to be extra moist because, really, that’s the whole point of 3 leches cake BUT I DID NOT GET WHAT I ASKED FOR, NOT EVEN CLOSE. The cake was damp… so the consistency of the cake felt like it was not fully cooked. It was so awful. Every single person I gave a piece of cake to could not finish eating the cake because it was so disgusting. The majority of the cake ended up in the trash… it was so sad, I felt terrible. I called the owner of the bakery the day after our bday party to complain to her about her horrible cake, she said «Well, I don’t know what to tell you. It was a Saturday so we had a lot of orders. I know I personally left a note on the ticket to make sure the cake was really moist but since there were so many orders, I guess they didn’t do it right. They must have been really busy. All I can tell you is that the NEXT TIME YOU ORDER A CAKE FROM HERE, I’ll give you a discount». All I received from her were excuses! Honestly, if there were too many orders that needed to be done on a certain day, they should have told me that before I placed the order. Why did I have to suffer because they were understaffed and overbooked? And top of it all, if I’m complaining to you about your disgusting cake, why would I want to go back? I wanted my money back but obviously I did not get it back.
The cake was awful, only certain parts were moist, other parts were really really dry so that added to the not fully cooked feeling. I’ve never had such a bad experience anywhere in my life. This is the worst bakery ever. For the sake of you and all of your guest or whoever wants good cake, don’t get your cake from here. In all honesty, 3 leches cake (and I’m pretty sure that whatever other flavors of cake they make here because 3 leches is supposed to be their forte) are better at Super A, Food 4 Less, or Northgate.
Again, do yourself a favor and don’t ever order anything from here. You’ll regret it.
