La Mexicanita Bakery

First and last time ordering tamales from here. The day I placed my order, I ordered a green chicken and red pork tamal to try them before placing a big order for Christmas. They were really good, nice and thin with a good amount of meat. So, I decided to place my order. The tamales were big, like lots of Masa and hardly had meat. My relatives even told me that they hardly had any meat and dry. I was bummed and always heard this bakery had good tamales. I guess they change it during the holidays which is not fair since we are paying for them. My son ended up bringing some tamales from his gf's mom and they were delicious and a good amount of meat and thin. Sometimes you think you are getting better tamales from a bakery but that is not correct. I will be ordering from my son's GF's mom n

La Mexicanita Bakery in Oxnard is a solid spot, especially if you’re craving tamales—they’re amazing and definitely the highlight. The bread and cookies are good, though a bit on the pricey side for the portion. You can get a small champurrado for $3.25, but just a heads-up—it’s very sweet. I usually dilute mine with milk and it’s perfect. Overall, a nice place to stop by, especially for the tamales.

Menudo is delicious and it comes with harmony. I never get pata so idk if pata is an option here. There is also a variety of pan dulce, the ones I have ate were good. They also sell avena (oatmeal) and mini burritos (2 per serving) with chili verde, chicharron, chorizo or a couple of other meats. This is a good little bakery.

They never seem to be a in a good mood. And to top it off if you explain something to them about the food they get all offended. I use to like this place and twice a week I would stop bye and grab some pan Dulce or tamales on The Weeknd. But I have gone the last few and very disappointed. And the stuff is not cheap I drop like 50 bucks twice a week. I spend like 350-400 bucks a month here because my family use to like their tamales and bread. But the last few months, dried up tamales , chicken so dry , brittle masa, and the pan Dulce are hollow no custard inside, very very disappointed. I switched and found someone on A street, and El Rio. I won’t be spending my money here again. Unless the start putting some love back into their food. They sell so much they have gotten lazy and I

Tamales look big, but it's all masa. It's tasty, but where's the meat! Service was great. Pan dulce is ok.
