Authentic Mexican food. Everything is made fresh, the workers are so nice, and the food is perfectly priced. It might be a little out of the way, but it's worth it!

Best Chile con Queso Bread! We used to get birthday cakes from here before we befriended a cake lady and now go to her place all the time. I've gotten three excellent tres leches birthday cakes from here over the past three years: Tangled, Hello Kitty, and just a colorful one. My favorite type of cake is a tres leches chocolate cake with flan on top. They serve the same bread as other bakeries but my husband likes theirs the best. I honestly can't tell the difference in the others but their Chile con Queso bread tastes fantastic here. Liked: - Bread: Chile con Queso - Chocolate Cake with Flan on top - Flan de Rompope Ok: - Flan

I ordered this cake for Easter 2021and it was more than perfect & I always just let the Bakery do their pick of flavors and design and they always make sure it is great cake to eat and decorated with the most spectacular designs. . Our Easter cake was Peaches & Coconut this year and it was absolutely heavenly!! The bakery is VERY pleasant and prices are more the fair!!! Thank U for another GREAT CAKE

Good panaderia I'm starting to realize though that Mexican Pan dulce from California and here in Memphis taste way different. Although it met my craving I sure do miss my Cali pan dulce. Especially Beto's panaderia in Ceres, Ca. Homesick maybe? But I do recommend this panaderia for those who have a craving for Mexican bread this place is clean and friendly service.

I like the place and the taste of the bread. I hate their parking lot- it's got more holes than a cheese grater. Their bread has been one of the best breads I have had. We have gotten numerous tres leches cakes from here. I like that it's also a mini convenience store for Hispanic goods.

This place is fantastic!!!! If you like Mexican pastries or bread like me you will love this place. If you want fresh Mexican baked goods this is your place to go. Thanks to a fellow yelper (LOVE MY YELPERS) I was introduced to this bakery and I can not wait to go back. You would think that at 6:00pm it would be closing and no one would be inside, well think again. This place was super busy and had people going in and out of it buying things. They have a variety of Mexican desserts from cakes, cookies, and breads. Everything is affordable and taste delicious. They also take both cash and credit card and english is spoken.
