"A historic Mexican bakery that brought joy to Calle 24 for 68 years before closing in 2018; its former storefront on 24th Street is the location being taken over. When the building was purchased in 2018 the nonprofit Calle 24 objected to a Russian bakery replacing a historic Mexican spot, but community leadership has since signaled a more welcoming stance. Erick Arguello of the nonprofit said, “Everything is fine,” and, “The important thing is that they’ve integrated into the community.”" - Paolo Bicchieri
"This longstanding Mexican bakery has been around in one form or another since the 1950s, and they're still serving some of the best pan dulce in town. The bread is baked at their Bayview production facility, and driven over to their pink and purple Mission storefront in between Capp St. and 24th. As you'd expect from one of the city's best panaderías—their pan (especially their conchas) are always fresh and moist—two qualities that not everyone nails. The selection varies from day to day, but count on grabbing a tray and picking a mix of conchas, flaky empanadas, savory telera, and a few bolillos. There's no seating, but no one will stop you if you devour everything on the sidewalk outside." - julia chen 1, lani conway, ricky rodriguez, patrick wong

"Ramirez also locked in Mission District panaderia La Victoria to join and sell the staples: pan de muerto, conchas, and various sweet variations." - Paolo Bicchieri
