La Flor De Yucatan Catering & Bakery

Great find! If you like authentic Yucatan cuisine, this is a great place for you. Unassuming yet delicious, they have a lot of dishes, all made from scratch in-​house. They also have Mexican sweet breads and other goods for takeout, including tamales, etc. We were just walking by and decided to stop for some delicious papadzules. More importantly, open for breakfast Saturday and Sunday.

No más entrando aquí uno se siente en familia. Tienen panes mexicanos además que una gran variedad de platos típicos yucatecos a precios muy razonables. Riquísimos papadzules!

Service terrible! Close earlier than descripted and sell products when promised they would hold them for you. The oljandras are delicious. If this was made elsewhere I would change them For now they are it.

This is the bomb spot for the best Yucatan Bakery cuisine in LA. And yes the Tamales are 100% Yucatecos. Salbultes to die for, Panuchos papazukes, poc chuc you name it. If you ever been to the Yucatan peninsula, this food will take you back.

We love and appreciate this Yucateco home cooking! We live in Riverside and there are no places out here with Yucateco cuisine. We’ve been going to La Flor every Christmas for the last few years, to spread the Yucateco love amongst our family and friends who are not from Yucatan. Everything we’ve purchased has been DELICIOUS and loved by everyone we’ve introduced this food to. We’ve bought the tamales colados, vaporcitos, cochinita, frijoles negros colados, rice, and bollilos. Last year we also purchased the crown rib roast (which was divine), but this year we decided to keep it as a Yucateco Christmas. If we lived closer, I would be ordering from La Flor on a regular basis. The mouth watering food is so worth the wait.
Thank you to the exceptional Annie who is always so helpful and with a smile on her face. Annie, I haven’t met you in person, but my message to you is… eres una linda hermosa. I cherish this establishment and may you continue to succeed. Many blessings to you and your family, Merry Christmas.

1^st time here to try out authentic yocatecan food, since I have never actually visited the state personally! But after trying this food I’m looking forward to visiting some day real soon.

Delicious food! Takes me back to my hometown whenever I come here! I have got to say Sunday’s are busy, so it’s a good idea if you pre-​order over the phone. Yes, on hot days you sweat by just standing in-​line but so what? I don’t mind as long as I can enjoy my authentic Yucatecan food once I get home.

The food is authentic! ¡Bomba! Tiene sabor casero! (Tastes homemade) my family is from Yucatan and this food is the tastiest I’ve tried in LA! (& There aren’t many restaurants that serve dishes from Yucatan) If you’ve never tried it then you’re missing out!

I have been coming here for years this is the closest I could get to Yucatán the closest anyone could get to you Yucatan… The Staff here always gre

Food AMAZING!!! I live an hr away but whenever I’m in the area i make a quick stop and take some pastries home with me. Their ojaldras are the best.
Foods authenticity is incredible

These guys came to my workplace as a pop-​up restaurant today. OMG I am completely enamored. I think it might actually be my favorite Mexican place. The black beans has a nutty flavor which is absolutely delightful. The rice is jazzed up and the tamales are flavorful without being imposing on your palate. The corn tortillas for the tacos are perfect texture and flavorful without an overpowering corn flavor. I hope you guys come back.

This is the best and most authentic myan food I’ve ever had. Taste just like grandmas cooking.

We love this place!
My husband and I came by to bring my sister for a work application but we ended up having breakfast here and had their version of tamales and sopes and they were amazing-​almost like moms. And they had this agua de chaya (lemonade and Chaya-​spinach family) and maaaaan it was refreshing, sweet tasting and something if drink everyday.
Great service.

Where do I start!!!
The cochinita Tacos are Amazing! And the Hojaldra… To die for! I’m from Yucatan and this is as Authentic as it’s going to get without getting on a plane and traveling there! The owners and Cooks are doing it Right!!!

Everything is awesome. Seriously, you can’t go wrong with anything this place serves up. You know you found a good spot when cops, limo drivers, taxi drivers, DWP workers, and firefighters block the street just to get their grub on. I very much recommend to-​go.

By far one of my favorite places.
The hojaldra is amazing! And the food is amazing. Reminds me of my trip to Yucatan.
In general one of my favorite places ever!

The cochinita pibil is delicious and we have been going to this place for many years. They charge $ 9 per pound and I think it’s very reasonably priced. I would highly recommend this place.

Buenisimo! The empanadas are really good! But there is only 5 rables two inside and 3 on the side walk outside. I recommend for a quick meal or take out!

As I dumbfoundedly rattled off the names of all the food items I wanted to try here… I slowly realized I had ordered WAY more food than I would be able to consume in one sitting…
because I am an idiot…
an idiot that loves food.
KIBBEH
A deep fried meatball of sorts composed of ground beef, cracked wheat, mint and spices… topped with pickled red onions and house habanero paste. These were just a tad bit dry as the wheat and spices overpowered the beef quite a bit. I would skip this next time.
EMPANADAS
Corn dough stuffed tunrnover with your choice of beans, cheese or ground beef. Served with cabbage salad and a tomato sauce. We got one of each… the cheese and beef were the standouts.
PAPADZULES
Enchilada-​like rolled tortillas simmered in a sauce made of a blend of espazote and pumpkin seed paste, stuffed with hard boiled eggs and garnished with zesty tomato sauce, ground pumpkin seed and chili powder. Great mix of flavors… all this needed was some pork.
MORCILLA (BLOOD SAUSAGE) TACOS
Definitely an acquired taste… traditional old world pork blood sausage mixed with maws, flavored with mint, mayan spices, roasted onions and yellow pepper. Strong flavors with a unique lingering aftertaste… must try for adventurous pork fans.
CLOSEUP
Yes.
COCHINITA PIBIL TACOS
Suckling pulled pork marinated in annatto seed (achiote) and citrus juice, wrapped in banana leaves and baked to perfection. Hot, juicy, flavorful pork topped with pickled red onions… great combination of flavors.
CLOSEUP
Because good pork deserves more closeups.
And idiots deserve to overeat too.

A couple days ago I saw an article titled «20 Tacos to Try Before You Die in Los Angeles» and decided to try a couple of them and see how good they are and so we did a TACO MARATHON DAY.
We got to try 5 different taco establishments (Guidos, Mexicali Taco & Co., La Flor de Yucatan, Mariscos 4 Vientos and Marisco Jalisco) in one day. The establishments were picked based on location solely, so you can say we did a random Taco marathon. Can you imagine how many tacos we inhaled in one day???
This review is just for La Flor De Yucatan. If you want to see the other establishments, please go to its individual Unilocal page and look me up.
Really, this place is actually a small grocery store, so don’t get taken aback with the décor and all.
We ordered their Cochinita Pibil tacos and the Tamales.
Cochinita Pibil tacos… eh, I have had better but the tamales was very good. They had three different tamales that after finished eating, we wished we order all three. But, we only tried their chicken pork tamales. That was one of the best Tamales I’ve ever tried I think.

Very good regional Mexican food. I dated a girl who’s father was actually Mayan from Yucatan, and spoke a dialect of Mayan in addition to Spanish and English. He loved this restaurant and would bring home food from here once every week or two. The Panuchos are absolutely to die for — very delicious. Many of the other dishes are different than what I am used to, but quite good.
