Pasteleria Del Castillo is a tiny tiny Mexican bakery and shop in White Center. I have been going to Del Castillo since it opened when I was in middle school. This place is yummy.
I pretty much only go to Del Castillo for the pan dulce (literal translation is sweet bread which is Mexican pastries). It is the best pan dulce I have had and its cheap. I have tried many a pan dulce in other Mexican bakeries in Seattle and none hold a candle to the those made at Del Castillo. Also they make tres leche cake which is translated to three milk cake. This is the most moist cake known to man. Typically the cakes are decorated with so much flair the tops of the boxes won't even fit. When I was 15 I had a quinceanera and my mom got my cake from there. It was filled with fresh strawberries. I'm drooling right now reminiscing about it.
Now, I know White Center has this reputation about being a "scary" place but its not at all. I would encourage everyone to come down south and try the pan dulce. You'll be glad you did.Listed in: Sugar keeps me sweet, Places in my 'hood. Westside!

One star for selling wonderful teleras (Mexican bolo bread for sandwiches, soft and yummy) and good pan dulce. But hey, they are a bakery so it better be good, right?.
Another star for having a good selection of Mexican groceries at standard prices.
And no more stars. If you are Mexican and picky, stay away from Pan de Muerto and Rosca de Reyes (holiday breads). Both are mediocre. The Rosca today was a huge disappointment. It was $16 for a small (6-8 people) and the toppings were horrible. Candied real orange peel, canned pinapple, canned peaches, maraschino cherries, and some red syrup. Groooss. -

Tastey cakes are made in the back rooms of this bakery/grocery. They are too big for there boxes at times (super tall, with loads of succulent frostings). There cakes are Tres Leche styled, rich & scrumptious. I am (fruitlessly - because the cakes are filled with fresh fruit too!) trying to find another adjective. Half or full sheet cakes are available.
