I am a procrastinator and needed biscuits for work on v-day. I called to see if they had any and was told no but that they could make some for me and have them ready in about 40 minutes. Wow!!! What amazing customer service. Plus, many co-workers complimented the biscuits. Will return!!!

  • Dolores Gutierrez

The bread is good.The service is rude. I simply asked for a clean tong and she looked at me crazy. The tongs are all laid on a dirty counter. Multiple tongs looked like they were used and put back. How am I supposed to know the others aren’t dirty too? Next time I’ll bring some wipes.

  • Jorge Gonzalez

its ok they used to be better on the empanadas and pan dulce but something change , also custoner service from the workers is not great. they alway look like they dont want to be there . i tried after a few months and still the same lack of basic customer service. not going back.

  • Lady Zhen

Best marranitos and sprinkle cookies around! Always get a bunch for my family and myself. The donuts are also very good, my sister loves the sugar dusted ones, and my father says they have the best campechanas he's ever had. My favorite bakery <3

  • Yvonne Hill

I was a little disappointed. The cupcake and cookie I ate here was stale. The pink cookie had an odd flavor to it. I'm not so sure on how fresh things are here. I was thinking of having a cake made here but quickly changed my mind after two

  • Peter

The best panadería around for sure, they’re sweet bread is incomparable. Got 4 tacos with them as well and I can just say I was very satisfied. Came with what I’m assuming was they’re homemade salsa the red was my favorite spice and flavor

  • DJ COOLAID

Some of you hype this place up too much. Don’t know if it’s left over pan from the weekend but wifey and I came on a Monday cuz we were craving concha’s. We got here and the concha’s looked old and as if they were mishandle by a toddler.

  • Matt Barnett

Was hoping for hand made donuts instead of frozen rings but not to be. Weird setup not too friendly. You choose your donuts with tongs that are lying out like bacteria magnets. I believe this place is more geared towards cakes not donuts.

  • Cynthia Guerra

Went through drive thru...Looking forward to their good Chileques tacos. Got home and found a different type of taco that would have been cheaper (some of their breakfast tacos are pricey). Disappointed. Didn't go back.

  • David Medina

This place has bread pudding which is entirely too good for one person. Clean store and all the bread looked pretty fresh. I also got a dozen of their flour tortillas which made for some great breakfast tacos at home.

  • Jan Rodriguez

Food is good however at times the service is not very good. Spent over $60.00 on Barbacoa for my family, instead of putting the containers in separate they were crushed and grease spilling on my grandsons leg!

  • Christine Torres

The bakery is great! All the pastries! But the tamales were beyond greasy and not good. The whole white bag was about to bust with how much grease was coming out. The barbacoa was just ok. Friendly staff!

  • Michele Castellanos

We bought 2lbs of barbacoa. We got 3 cold rolled up flour tortillas and no pico de gallo after we asked for it. Not enjoying this breakfast this morning. Probably will not go back here for barbacoa.

  • carlos saenz

BY far the NASTIEST mass produced Mexican pastries. I have ever come across an happen to purchase. Bland with no flavor . But my dog ate it . No problem Will stick to trusted brands an markets .

  • R Sifuentes

First time here bread was old not fresh. The tortillas (flour) were fake when they have a pic of some homemade ones then they only give you one choice of salsa either green or red. More

  • R G

This place is under rated. The donuts were some of the best I've come eaten. This place is in my top 5 for sure. Wish they would serve coffee though, but still awesome bakery.

  • Sarah Garcia

I went here to get my grandma pan dulce and my daughter a cupcake. The cupcake was really dry and very hard. My daughter actually lost her first tooth, trying to bite it! :)

  • Dianne Saenz

The Best! I love their blueberry bread pudding! Plus they have a variety of the standard Mexican sweet breads and on weekends they sell barbacoa and fresh tortillas!

  • Stacy F

Conchas are so soft and delicious. The plain glazed are hard to stop eating. The sweet potato empanada is a delight. Stop here for great bakery items.

  • Karl VanOver

Excellent, authentic Mexican bakery. A must, regular stop for any sweet tooth need. Thanks, as always, for the friendly service and superior yummies!

  • R “Bivi” S

  • RANNTX

The service is bad, my concha’s and empanadas were old tough. It used to be a decent place not anymore. Unfortunately I will not be coming back.

  • Roxanne Gracia

Barbacoa and tamales are awesome! But only available on weekends. The pan dulce is delicious. They sell this coffee there....it is sooo gooood.

Great variety. Fresh and soft the sweet bread should be. Tortillas are pretty good too. The place was clean and cashier was very friendly.

  • Stephie Joe

Good cookies and empanadas , their tamales had a good taste but were mostly masa, not too much meat. Oh and the staff is very friendly

  • Matilda Rios

Visiting SA and stopped by a new spot to satisfy a craving. Great customer service and selection, but lacking in freshness and flavor.

  • Magali Franco

We have come here for a few years now....the bread is fresh, barbacoa is delicious, and the tamales are small but have good flavor.

  • Betsy Sizemore

Best Mexican pastries reasonable prices. They also sell barbacoa on the weekends. The people that work there are very friendly.
