Gussie's Tamales & Bakery

Went today to buy pan dulce but there were no trays to put the bread on. Told that the trays had to be washed. After about 10 minutes I was told that they were still being washed. I expressed from frustration that I thought they were making them. Staff member said that maybe I didn't have a good Christmas as I was sour. Wow what a critical remark for their lack of preparation. Maybe wash what is needed before you open for business. When you are not prepared don't blame a customers frustration for wanting over 10 minutes on your lack of preparation for having a bad Christmas. What do you expect, just swallow it. Maybe your not ready to work with customers if you can't take criticism for your lack of preparation.

Sizeable red chili pork and green chili chicken tamales, joined by equally large generously raisined sweet tamales. A wide variety of traditional baked delights, bolillos and with menudo on the weekends, hard to go wrong here. Both red and green varieties were very flavorful although may be milder than some prefer. Loved the toothsome maranos as well!

Went to Gussie's for the first time with my family since I was driving by. My daughter picked out an assortment of cookies and pastries while I purchased a pastel de tres leches, since their tres leches is one of the best in El Paso. I paid and we went out to the car where my wife was waiting. Inside the car, my daughter opened up the bag with the cookies and gave one to my wife and after she finished the cookie, had me immediately go back inside to purchase more! 😆👍 If you see the picture, it was one of those cookies with the red filling in the middle.

Definite five-star establishment. Their displays were absolutely loaded with pastries, even though I went in the evening. I ordered a few plus some donuts and they were all super fresh and delicious. I also ordered a bunch of tamales and they were also really good, definitely plumper than what I expected.
