It's a grab and go type of establishment.

Súper suavecitos y con un sabor que me recuerda al pan de telera que uno compra en México. Cada mordida sabe a casa y a tradición bien hecha. Siempre que vengo al valle paso por aquí. Vale la pena llegar tempranito porque el pan sale calientito y se acaba rápido. Eso ya dice todo. La familia que atiende es muy linda y se nota que le ponen corazón a su negocio y a la comunidad. Es una panadería que realmente es parte del alma del barrio. Me encanta llegar y comprar pan para llevar. Las conchas son lo mejor sin duda. Pero mi consejo es probar poquito de todo. Las empanadas están bien ricas y las galletitas también. Todo tiene ese sabor auténtico que no se imita. Este lugar sabe a puro México. Es tradición es cariño y es comunidad en cada bolsa de pan. Si pasan por el valle no se lo pierdan.

I find that the area has a tendency to hire people who do not speak English or they do not speak Spanish. WE ARE A BORDER REGION!!!! EMPLOYEES SHOULD BE BILINGUAL AND ABLE TO SPEAK BOTH SPANISH AND ENGLISH. So many people lose out of job opportunities if they don't. instead in the RIO GRANDE VALLEY, you have to speak Spanish but no English or English but no Spanish. THAT IS RACIST! Please hire people who are bilingual!

Before ordering, we bought sample cupcakes. We ordered a heart shaped, double layered chocolate cake with buttercream icing and sprayed on gold color. It was a beautiful cake. The gentleman stayed it would be white buttercream icing with the gold sprayed on top of it. We picked the cake up, it was ready on the counter, and they offered to carry the cake to the car. When we cut into the cake, the frosting was golden and the sprayed gold tasted weird. We just scraped off the gold thin layer and were able to enjoy the moist cake with buttercream icing. The price was very reasonable! We will definitely buy another cake from here.

I must say, that although I enjoyed my mocha latte and my hazelnut lobster tail tremendously - I missed the wow factor. The store appeared to be short-staffed.

Whenver I am at that mall in the future, I may stop by for a cup of coffee and a pastry. But, I will not be making a special trip to purchase bakegoods in the future.

Also they offer each cake in various sizes. We tried two kinds of cake. We got a large German chocolate cake for $25. The frosting was good and not too sweet. Overly sweet frosting is a no-no for me. But the cake itself was borderline dry. So we didn't hate it but we didn't live it. Also it was a light chocolate. I prefer a rich dark moist cake. However, I wanted to try their white tres leches cake with strawberry topping so I got a single slice and it was delicious. I was worried it be too sweet but it wasn't. It was perfection. So I will return for this cake for sure.

In addition to getting food poisoning the customer service was subpar and that's generous. 2 of 3 employees stood there texting when my family and I walked in, no one greeted us or offered any information as to their selections. I asked what their best seller was and the one who wasn't texting mumbled something about Nutty Professor and that's all I got. We were all trying to lean forward to better understand him and after letting him know I was having a little trouble hearing he said sorry and continued to mumble. No pride in their store or work and the cupcakes are definitely not fresh. Do not recommend
