Conchas are perfectly soft when warm, if you're lucky to arrive when they just came out! The young servers do need to improve their customer service. Don't expect any coffee or sit down. It's a grab and go type of establishment.

La Especial Bakery es de esos lugares que se sienten desde que entras. Este pan está delicioso como…read moreno se dan una idea. 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.

Several months ago my sister who is very particular when it comes to ordering special occasion…read morecakes ordered her daughters 16th "Candy Land " themed birthday cake with Esperanza. Knowing how meticulous my sister is I was holding my breath hoping Esperanza Cake Shop would come through. Well they did 100% . Not only was the cake gorgeous it was delicious. There were many compliments on the cake that night. Needless to say since then I have gone to Esperanzas several times ( as a matter of fact past 3 weeks) and always super satisfied & happy with the outcome. The staff as well as Esperanza are very kind & have the patience to listen to every detail you are wanting & make what you envision in your cake happen.. The taste of the cakes that I have had , have always been moist & tasty that buttercream frosting is super tasty The Mandarin filling is a must & I just recently ordered their pan de polvo & was a big hit at my last gathering...so several thumbs up to Esperanza & her staff!!

He spoke Spanish and English. The prices here were good, kinda low for the wedding cake cookies but not complaining. Some of the bread was a little dry but the piggy cookies were sweet and moist. This location may be small but it carries all the traditional pan dulces. Also accepts Lonestar, which other locations such as on Monte Cristo do not.

This off the beaten track roadside Mexican bakery looks inauspicious in a mauve-colored building,…read morebut the baked delights found inside are well worth a stop. The owner and baker, Erik, is friendly and helpful for a visiting birder like me who is unfamiliar with the unique south of the border pastries. The shelves are filled with everything from your standard raised donuts to cream cheese empanadas and conchas to marranitos and other pastries I can't remember the names of. But the names don't matter when they're as delicious as these are. Custards and jellies added gloriously decadent highlights to the treats. If you're visiting the area, particularly if you're on an early morning birding trek visiting the refuges and parks along the border, this is a must visit.

This is a business we had heard of in Reynosa and they have now moved their bakery to the U.S. The bread is sold by the pound. It's around $5 and change for the pound. Now, be careful...it adds up quickly. Their main attraction is their "conchas." They are baked fresh all day and both times we've visited, they are nice and warm. They go fast so hurry... The place is very nice. Most bakeries we visit are old, dirty, run down, outdated, etc. But not this one. Loved the charm and decor which makes the visit more appealing. Last but not least, their taste is great! That's the main reason why we came back for a second time. The taste makes up for the above normal prices. Give them a try when you're in the San Juan area. I think you'll love Paris Bakery.
