My recent visit to Barrio Donas had me a bit shell shocked when it came to prices and had me wondering how much a Huevo a la Mexicana Bolillo was at San Diego Bakery. Surprisingly, it had been over a year since I last visited and over a year-and-a-half since I last posted on the place. So, last Sunday, I decided to head on over to see…..
Just as I drove into the parking lot, another car left, so I managed to get a parking space. The shop was doing steady business when I walked in; like Lucy’s Bakery, all those hard working guys needed breakfast, right?
Looking up at the menu; which, since my last visit has transitioned from the chalkboard to a video display, I saw that the A la Mexicana was now $7.50 (I believe it’s just $6.50 at Lucy’s). It was $6.50 on my last visit here a bit over a year ago and $4.99 back in December of 2023.
Still, it’s less than Barrio Donas which is now $10.50 and with prices these days, this seems almost like a bargain!
The sandwich itself was a bit of a mess; though toasted, crisp, light, and yeasty, the bread was crumbling apart as I opened it.
This was oozy, eggy, cheesy messiness. And those serranos had a “bite” of their own too.
This was actually quite filling for breakfast….at least for me. I do wish there was more beans as there barely seemed to be any. And perhaps less chilies; though it did shake me awake!
With prices these days, it’s good to know you can get a breakfast bollilo or preparados for less than $8. I mean, how much is a banh mi these days?

I stopped going to Avian and here the last time they raised the prices
Last time I went to Avian, the banh mi was breaking the $8 mark ST!
wow pricey
Prices are going crazy Kat!
It’s a bummer that costs are going crazy
It is Franklin!
I went to Paris Bakery on ECB last week for a Banh Mi. They’re $8 now. At least they’re loaded with meat.
If it’s that price in City Heights….I’m wondering what the prices are in Mira Mesa now Junichi!
