Meatland Bakery

The bolillos are the bomb soft and fresh daily. The sweet bread delicious conchas… Great and fast service very friendly employees. … opens early at 5am very convenient. … I recommend to all People. .check it out for your self.

Slap myself silly!!! I thought I had reviewed this little hidden treasure. Well here it goes folks:
The sweet bread & bolillos are super fresh, maybe we haven’t been to all the panaderia’s/bakeries in East LA & beyond for that matter, but Meatland so far is the one closest to fresh we’ve ever had.
I come from Whittier and their bakeries (some staples of the community since I grew up) but the truth is that soon as I buy their sweet bread/​bolillos & take home wrapped ever so tightly, already ends up being hard as cardboard and UN-​enjoyable w/​coffee. But, when I get my selected goodies from Meatland, (wrapped up properly from paper bag to plastic bag tightly) will last close to five days.
My only pet peeve is that they don’t have the Sandia’s (watermelon cookies) and those seem to have become a hard to find item. Lucky for me there’s a bakery in Pico Rivera that makes a butt load of them & you will find now & then at Superior Warehouse Groceries. I also wish they carried the «Polvornes» (wedding cookies) but Jagger says I can’t always get what I want… no I swear I didn’t fall on my head.
This is one of the best things in East Los. Visit their carneceria (meat market of the same name) next door. It’s that good!
Parking on street and behind their meat market. They both take ATM.

I have to say that after the other day and having the last minute bolios I had written a less then approving review; I compared the pan dulce from Los Pinos Nuevos and Meatland that I bought today and the new results are in. Meatland is better tasting. The selection is smaller but flavor is more important than selection. If they can keep the A on the wall then we will frequent more often. I raised the stars from three to four.

Not good. dull bread

I love this place!!! The bread is always fresh & tastes ridiculously good. I consider it to have the best pan dulce (sweet bread) in East LA. Ive tried bread from a ton of other bakeries in East LA & nothing compares to Meatland Bakery. I strongly suggest trying the «Elotes». So good & perfect for breakfast with a cup of Joe. Best of all, Its very inexpensive.

First!
I’ve been coming here for years and the Mexican sweet bread (pan dulce) has always been great. No thrills, just a simple bakery turning out bomb pan. Conchas, ojo de guey, empanadas, cuernos, y mucho mas.
My only pan dulce place I come to in my home town of East LA. Yeah there are other good places in town, but I recommend this place because it is always constantly good; soft and sweet.
