| - I have to say that when it comes filipino pastries Valerio's is the way to go! Maybe a month ago I probably would have knocked a star for only accepting cash, but now they accept credit cards! An extra star for convenience! There are so many great pastries to choose from! From prepackaged to fresh off the oven pastries!
Looking for a quick lunch on the go? I'd suggest their bread rolls filled with pork, chicken, and beef asado or adobo. It's really just like a sandwich in a roll.
When it comes to their sweet delights, I'm a sucker for their bibinka, spanish bread rolls, and their cheese rolls! But! If you're craving for these delights as soon as their open, come disappointed because they're usually not freshly offered until 12 noon, or mirienda time (which is snack time in tagalog!). Their cheese rolls are filled with this cream cheese like filling with a soft, sweet, and slightly sugary outter dough. The spanish bread is a soft bread roll with a nice butter and sugar filling inside. A decent combination of bread and sugar to steer you away from diabetes or an overly sweet explosion. It's just right! The bibinka is also good! Soft breading, enough cheese, and just the right amount of salted egg slices (bibinka ain't bibinka without the salted egg slices. It's all about the slices.)
Their empenada's, siopao, and pan de sals are great too! Best part about their pan de sals is that they come in regular, cheese, and whole wheat for variety!
Prices for the freshly baked goods in the casings usually range from $0.75 to $2 s which i think is a good deal for an afternoon snack! Prepackaged goods are also at a decent price ranging from $3 and up with a decent amount of pieces in them,
