*Founder, Filomeno Leal (a baker who originated in Monterrey N.L. Mexico) opened Leal Bakery in October 1976. By mid 1977, Leal Bakery was the Number 1 Latin foods store in Monterey Co. People all throughout California raved about Mr Leal's delicious Tortillas, Tamales, Masa, Barbacoa, and Menudo (just to mention a few) The last 2 were removed from the menu 3 years ago in order to make way for extended variants and processing of Masa and Tamales. Many continue to request the 2 menu items back.
Congratulations to Mr. Leal ❤️
