Pan Lido Salvadoreno — Restaurant in San Francisco

If you're not Salvadorian, you don't understand the cultural significance and nostalgia it brings to Salvis. It's a popular bakery in El Salvador, so I value this place and the workers because my family from El Salvador find joy in the bread from here. I have family in Novato who drive down just to pick up this bread and family in Los Angeles who asks to bring this bread when we visit. The pasteles de leche are my favorite and I always make sure to also get some tamales de pollo with bolios for breakfast! You can't go wrong with what you get, they have sweet bread for multiple all different lovers of the best carbs!

The owner is my favorite person and he's always there when I go, I love being able to have a conversation with him about life! When I first moved here 10 years ago, my parents discovered this place for the first time and my dad told him to look after me when they go back to LA. Lol that's the Salvi way, we are connected through the love for the country that everyone is like family, even if you just met for the first time! Going here makes me feel more at home! And did I mention the pasteles de leche and tamales de pollo?! Delicious!

Great bread,...

Just want to say that I’ve been going to this bakery for years! My mom and I had placed an order for 400 pieces of pastries a week prior to pick up. Have in mind that we live about 2.5 hours from SF. We pick up thinking they had given us the 400 pieces come to find out they only gave us 295 pieces and still had the AUDACITY to charge us for the full amount! They lost my business and the rest of my family members as well! I will never step foot in this...

I'm more familiar with a Mexican panaderia than a Salvadoran one, but there's similarities. There's less variety, but everything is different and larger in size. Staff was nice.

I got a budin, which is a sweet item made with bananas. It's soft and custard-like. I also got a pastry, not sure what it is called, with a hard, flaky rounded shell with a custard/creme in the middle. This was not really sweet, so...
