Maybe put a sign up on the door or something to let folks know would be a good idea. This place is always busy on the weekends when they sell tamales, menudo and carnitas. LONG lines in the drive thru lane so I'd imagine they sell a lot. BUzt perhaps better planning and signage would avoid disappointed customers. I doubt I'll be back.

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.

Now, trying pan dulce from basically everywhere (Nevada, California, North Texas, The RGV) I'm able to honestly say that this place is my favorite. Also has the best prices. There really is no marketing or signage directing you to them, but the building is next to an antique shop. Closed Mondays My favorite pastries are the conchas, pigs, pink and yellow cookies, rainbow cookies, pink donuts, and the Sweet potato empanadas are amazing. Okay so basically everything haha! Pastries are usually 3 or 4 /$1

Everyone dresses with bakers hats and the place is clean and you can smell the fresh baked bread being cooked. The service is a great as well. As soon as we were seated, we were helped and our order was taken. From there it just became a below average experience. The eggs were fine but look at the pictures. The hashbrowns look store bought or like from a fast food joint. The ham was thin sliced and looked like a cut from a deli meat package from the store. This was very disappointing for the price of I believe $11.99 for this plate. You can get much better food for $12.00 in the RGV. The best thing about this place was the pan dulce/sweet bread. The conchas were good. My advice if you are in the area, stop for the pan dulce but skip the over priced breakfast food because you will be disappointed like I was. 3 stars for the cleanliness and ambiance and pan Dulce. That's about it!

So, before breakfast commenced and the coffee from Chiapas was poured for those attending, we opened the box to discover the colorful mix she had chosen. The flaky brown and tan biscuits were the first plate we tried with our homemade strawberry jam and cream cheese. I tasted mine plain at first to get a sense of the composition. The resounding taste of butter in the near bread told me of the quality was on par with any I had enjoyed before. Biscuits are not difficult to make, but doing so consistently is important. Then we tasted the dark brown gingerbread pigs, known as "puerquitos", which were gloriously fresh with a dusting of confectionery sugar. I was impressed again and the subtle taste of piloncillo found its way into every taste. While it's mildly unfair to review a place based solely on its takeout, El Fenix made a very good impression on me, and I look forward to visiting in the near future.
