Valerio's Tropical Bake Shop — Restaurant in Hayward

Review of the pinoy tamales at Valerio’s Hayward. When we first tried their tamales (it first came out at their Union City store), it was outstanding. But the quality deteriorated over time. For the past year, we have been buying the Tamales at the Southland Mall Hayward location, and it has slowly deteriorated in quality. Last week, we bought 8 and my family members noticed that the texture is now ‘gaw-gaw’, like a tender kutsinta, a jelly’ish brown steamed rice flour cake. This latest Valerio’s tamales recipe is unappetizing, a far cry from their initial recipe that we had bought and enjoyed in the past. Like I said, it was like jello.

Hey Valerios, at a price of almost $6 each, we hope you can bring back your good quality tamales. Penny-pinching is good for the profit margin but there will be no profit if less of your patrons will buy it. Sadly, that will be our very last time to buy tamales. We’ll buy again when we hear it...

Hayward, Union City, and Milpitas locations... Just about everytime I have gotten the cream cheese or pineapple cream cheese haba haba, there has been some portion that was not fully cooked. Spreading the filling more evenly or less filling would probably help this situation.

That pineapple pie at any location is like a Renuzit gel cone air freshener from the 1950s. Extra super...

Store was really empty, the display case barely had any items.

Coconut buns were good,but a lot more expensive than the union city one.

They coconut buns here were $4.49 for 5 and the other one had it for $2.49 for 6.

Señorita bread is .40 cents each at the other bakery and here it’s a 5 pack for $9.

Rip off!!! It’s so expensive you might as well go to red ribbon and buy a whole cake for that price.

There aren’t prices on the bread so you don’t know how much it is until they...
