I went to this bakery for the first time today, and there’s good news and bad news. First the bad: they don’t have any Marranitos (little gingerbread piggies) like the other Mexican bakeries I’ve been to have, so that’s not great. Also, why was I charged $1.25 for a single roll? That’s crazy. I bought six items, and I know those items were either $.80 or $1.25 each. My total was $7.61, and I paid cash. An innocent mistake, maybe? It would be a helpful thing to have English translations on the signs in the store, but no matter how you slice it, the prices here are higher than other similar bakeries in the western suburbs. There are also no tongs, like I’m used to using. Trays, yes. Plastic gloves instead of tongs (although the people behind me did not use them and the young woman working there did not say anything). The good news is that the person working there was friendly, and there was a reasonable variety of items. I think I’ll stick to my Aurora go-to place, though… Here are three of the six items I bought today (see photo).

An amazing family owned bakery. Not overly sweet(which is a huge plus), but very tasty. Highly suggest to try them out and I wish the best for their business.

Tried this bakery for the first time last week — asked them to make us (9) coffee cakes for Christmas — they didn’t know what those were. We showed them a picture. Picked them up and they were absolutely PERFECT. Friends, family, neighbors – everyone loved them!! And oh my gosh, REASONABLE!! HIGHLY RECOMMEND THEM!

I’m so happy I found this bakery!
It is small but they have a nice variety and all the bread I’ve had has been delicious. I highly recommend!

Best conchas around! I’ve been eating conchas since I was a little girl, I’ve moved around my whole life and lived in another state, this panadería by far has the best conchas and my Hispanic family agrees. They are so soft and stay soft for days. No stale concha here! The conchas are smaller, but it makes the bread to sugar topping ratio perfect! No they don’t have tongs, but they have gloves and it’s not that serious. I think it’s very affordable, but if some might feel it’s more expensive, let me say, that for the quality it’s worth it. The pan is always fresh and the staff are always friendly. They do have marranitos, but they sell out fast and by the way they’re also delicious!

Prices are ridiculous! Went to buy 5 day of the dead bread and like 3/4 small breads and they wanted $7.35 for each piece of bread! Starbucks doesn’t even charge that much for a sandwich. Went over to Toms and bought 7 day of the dead bread for $7.57 with tax. What a rip off. I will NEVER be returning! They don’t even have the same bread everyday! Unreal!

Ordered a cake 5 days in advance. Went to pick it up at the time agreed and they didnt have it. I called 3 different times to confirm my order and once to change it. When I get there the baker tells me he can’t make cakes there that he has to go to Chicago but that he’ll have my cake by 4 pm. He still tried to charge me full price for it too! I called at 6:30 pm and they didn’t have it and most likely won’t have my order at all! Very disappointed since they blamed it on not having my number but they did have it.

Very dissapointed with this business made a order with 4 days in advance, also confirmed same day 2x my order.
Arrived and my order was no were to be found, planned for a gathering now i was offered left overs nowhere near the size and value.
Very poor internal organization and communication buyers beware.
Will definitely not be returning for future business.

If you want to try more then just conchas and tasteless bread go to “LA MEXICANA BAKERY” in CAROL STREAM a lot of selection fresh, delicious plus they never run out of anything they are always baking! Prices are more reasonable too.
Worth the drive
