"This colorful Pico-Union trifecta is a Oaxacan restaurant, food market, and panadería wrapped in one. El Valle Oaxaqueño's baked goods section is our favorite thing about this spot, with glass displays packed with Oaxacan specialties, like pan de yema, a fluffy egg bread that goes hand-in-hand with Mexican hot chocolate. Pan de muerto, typically seasonal, is also sold fresh here and comes as face-sized loaves of sweet bread sprinkled with sesame seeds for a classic touch. " - Sylvio Martins, Nikko Duren
