Came here for the Christmas tamales order...it was the first time ordering tamales. Ordered a dozen & a half (6 jalapeño & cheese, chicken & pork). My favorite was the jalapeño cheese...just enough heat and cheese so flavorful! Good portion. A tamale runs about $4 per tamale. Pretty solid. Party tray was packaged and labeled with care. FYI it's best to pay upfront via phone or in person. Tried a few pasties like the guava and pineapple pie, pineapple and guava cookie, the jello treat, will come back for sure.

Open early, great selection, friendly counter staff. Bread pudding was a surprise among the Latin offerings but quite good.

Came by on a cold dreary Sunday morning - what better way to cheer up than sugar topped carbs?? The conchas here are so good. Crumbly/crisp topping in a beautiful classic pattern, and super soft tender bread on the inside. They're wonderfully light and go down a bit too fast haha. I could easily inhale 2-3 with a cup of coffee. Also got a cinnamon cuernito (generous amount of cinnamon sugar outside and rolled into it) and a Lunas pastry. Both were much more dense and a bit crumbly I also tried their flan, which was a generous cup portion for 2 bucks and change. It's a gelatin-heavy sort of flan, rather than egg yolk heavy, so it's lighter and more like gelatin than custard. Will def come by next time for a ton of the conchas, and to try out more pastries!

(Insert drool face) Sooo yummy! This pastry shop stands out from the standard pan pastry shop because they have amazing deserts from different latin countries like the Salvadoran quesadilla. Highly recommend! Support local!

I ordered from Rico Pan Latin Pastries via Uber Eats over the past weekend (12/12/2020) and I was excited to try this place since 1. they had tamales available and 2. I LOVE PANDERIAS! I ended up ordering 2x Pork Tamales, 2x Jalapeno Tamale, 1 Pink Concha, 1 Sugar Croissant, and 1 Tres Leches Cake w/ Strawberry filling. I was excited to find a panderia on UberEats that was relatively close by. My total + delivery fees + delivery tip came out to be around $43.77 (I know I could have just driven there and gotten a better deal) Break down of cost: Tres Leches Cake: $5.80 each slice Tamales: $5 for 2 (so $10 I spent) Conchas: $2 each Sugar Croissant: $3.00 each When I opened everything up, it seemed like I received everything but to my surprise I only received 2/4 tamales instead of 4/4. To be fair, the tamales were huge and I don't think I could have eaten all 4. If this tamale was the equivalent of two, I'll take it. Based on the pictures I provided down below, I was excited to dig into everything since it all looked fresh! Here's a breakdown of everything based on my opinion: -Pork Tamale: I really liked the flavor and the pork in this tamale. I think with the tapatio I put on top made it even better. However, there was too much masa and it started crumbling. The ends felt like it had more masa and the body itself was not covered. Because there was more masa in some areas, it almost got too dry for me. The pork itself was really tender and the sauce had really good flavor. You can kinda tell in the photo where it split in the back and the filling is exposed. 3.5/5 for me -Jalapeno Tamale: Similar to the pork tamale where it had a lot of masa. I should have re-heated it since the cheese had solidified at that point, but it was still pretty tasty. I wished there was a bit more jalapeno in it since the majority of the time I felt like I was eating masa. I would say I would opt in for more filling! I think if I had it fresh, it would be a lot better. 3.5/5 Both tamales were still pretty tasty, although there are some tweaks they could do in order to make it not as dry tasting or the masa from crumbling. If they do happen to sell smaller tamales, maybe I'll give that a shot and see if it's any better. -Pink Concha: This tasted absolutely fresh and I loved it. I dipped this in my coffee and enjoyed it so much! I love the fact that the pink sugar didn't crumble as much because I end up looking like a mess. 5/5 -Sugar Croissant: The other pictures on yelp looked like it was dipped with more sugar, so this is just your regular croissant rolled in sugar. It was definitely still good and better with coffee. It was a bit dry, but I didn't mind it. 3/5 - Tres Leches Cake: It wasn't as "wet" as I wanted it to be and upon first bite it was a bit dry. I ended up pouring some almond milk (I know usually evaporated milk + condensed milk is often used for the cake) to help moisten the cake. Once moist, the flavors were actually really good. I really do like the touch of strawberry in it too. I'm tempted to try the peach flavor next time. Overall, I would have to say the flavor of the items I tried was spot on, I just think maybe if I had everything a bit more fresh it would be a 5 star review. I'm leaning towards 3.5-4 stars since I still enjoyed what I had. Also with the tamales, I'm not too sure if 2x tamales were supposed to be just 1 bigger one or if they had forgot to give me the other two. Otherwise, I'll still order from this place again once in awhile.
