"This East LA bakery is old, as in, the wooden display cases have been around since the 1940s. It's very charming, but where El Gallo really gets us is their razor-sharp versions of classic pan dulce. The buttery frosting on the rebanadas is mildly sweet and perfectly spread across the bread, and the puerqitos taste like a Christmas spice cabinet with piloncillo and cinnamon. Get the ojos de buey if you want something extra sweet: two crumbly shortbread cookies covered in a strawberry glaze and rolled in dried coconut. " - Sylvio Martins, Nikko Duren
