Went this weekend for tamales. Myfamily Has been buying my tamales here for over 40 years. They were so spicy hot we couldn't eat them we love chile but this was ridicules thank goodness we had other type of food to give the kids.In the trash they went

Best tamales in the area. I really like their Green Chile and Cheese. Carnitas by the pound is really good too.Small business, smart about their COVID protocols.

One of my friends recommended to stop by and buy your tamales me and my husband give you a high 10 we love the tamales in the champorado will be going back soon recommend it to everyone to stop by to have excellent tamales and champurrado loved it ?

Been going here for decades. Pan dulce, tomales, menudo, bean and rice, etc....all old school flavor and quality. Get there early before they run out. Small parking lot so the street is an option.

We live in the Bay Area. This is my husband's first stop whenever we come to visit family. Can't find beef tamales anywhere. Love the pan dulce and the salsa.

In the collection of Bakeries in Whittier, Pico Rivera, and Santa Fe Springs, La Moderna is one of our communities favorites. Lines begin as early as 5:45 am for the amazing Tamales ( green are my favorite) , pastries, carnitas w/salsa, beans cooked with the delicious flavor of the carnitas, and of course menudo. The earlier the better for the sweet breads or sandwich breads ( I must mention). My family and neighbors are regular customers for as long as I can remember. I highly recommend this bakery! Try the tamales and carnitas, it’s perfect for unexpected family gatherings or work events. The staff welcomes you into the bakery and feels as though your welcomed into a relatives kitchen. Try it!Thank you La Moderna !

The fluffiest and warmest bolillos I’ve had from any bakery in Whittier. I am not a fan of tamales nor carnitas, but this place makes me crave them ever since I tried them from here. The tamales are small and tasteful. They don’t make you feel like you need a drink when you eat them. They’ve been opened for years. More people need to go and support this business. I almost forgot, best pan dulce in town for sure .

The Tamales are excellent but you need to get them in the morning because by noon they sell out. I have been coming here for years. The Bakery is very good.

I've been going to this bakery for tamales, mexican bread, salsa and champurrado since I was a kid. I love this famous family business. Friendly service atmosphere is always a wonderful they always serve you with a smile.? Now I take my kids and tradition lives on with them.

I have been purchasing tamales from La Moderna for the past 30+ years. It currently takes me 2+ hours by bus to purchase at least once a month. Love em.
