Panaderia Guadalajara Merced — Restaurant in Merced

I wasn’t going to post this, but I feel like I should so it doesn’t happen to someone else. I usually order food from this shop over the phone, and yesterday, I ordered two rolled tacos and one chicken tamale. When I picked up my order, there were only two containers in the bag. The guy at the counter even opened it and said the tamale was with one of the tacos, so I didn’t check.

When I got back to the office, I realized the tamale was missing. I called the next day to ask for a refund or the missing tamale. The lady on the phone questioned me endlessly and even claimed she saw them pack the tamale, basically calling me a liar.

I've never actually sat down to eat there. I'm usually in a hurry, but you can't beat great Mexican sweetbreads and the price is amazing! Go there. You won't be disappointed. If you want fancy-schmancy go somewhere else. If you want the real...

This is the best bakery in Merced, Mexican or otherwise. It's not easy to find, they could probably do with a new sign but they are always busy so I guess they don't need it. The baked goods are awesome. I also like the hot food that I have tried so far. The tamales have a perfect meat:masa ratio and everything always tastes fresh which is always a good thing. There's also a little ice cream shop on one side of the store. From outside you wouldn't even know it was a bakery if not for the smell of fresh baked goodness you can smell from a distance. I am sure that those bigger mercado type stores have their benefits but I know where to go to get quality and taste. The prices are...
