    "We've got a Convoy"
    Jon B.

    Paco's Mexican Bakery has nestled themselves nicely into the this area for a long time. I have no issues. I give them 4 stars. They're on Veteran's Memorial Dr a few miles south of Beltway 8. I feel they have been consistent for over the last decade. The Same rotation. The Same selection. I see lotsa party cakes being sold. I get my usual comfort items. I've never seen a cashier smile or say hello. Be forewarned they turn and burn. They are handling Covid 19 by requiring masks and keeping clean utensils in rotation as well as spacing. Suggestion:The Bollios make nice sandwiches. With Fresh avocado slices is very popular. A twist on avocado toast. They sell a ton of them, however you like them.

    Tres leches cake

    I placed an order for a tres leches cake for my sons first birthday party and it wasn't great honestly. I had high hopes for this tres leches cake because I know that the cakes that are in display case are good. I was really disappointed when I had a slice of the cake and it was so dry. I might as well just ordered a regular vanilla cake instead and probably wouldn't have costed as much as the tres leches cake that I ordered. Wasn't worth $105.. If you're looking to order a tres leches cake, don't get it here. You're better off getting a vanilla cake from Walmart. Other than that service was great, the employees are nice. Puse una orden de un pastel de una plancha de tres leches. La verdad Pense que iba Estar muy Rico porque se que los pasteles tres leches que están en la vitrina lo son. Me lleve un disgusto al probar el pastel que ordene porque estaba muy seco. No me gusto y no volveré a ordenar un pastel tres leches en Paco's. No valió la pena los $105 que pague. Si gusta ordenar un pastel tres leche no lo ordene aquí. Aparte de eso, el servicio fue bueno y las empleadas fueron muy amables.

    Not so sweet sweet bread lol

    I am pretty sure this is an Salvadorian bakery. I have noticed the Salvadorian bakeries are not that sweet. The three things we got were kind of bland and not sweet. I wonder is all Salvadorian bakeries make their bread in this manner. Not great. Not bad. Just middle of the road. I remember how when I was a kid we would go to Mexican bakeries like this but the sweet bread was actually sweet. Everything is fresh and good but this place is kind of like one of those hyped up places. Again not terrible just over hyped in my opinion. Maybe I will go back. They definitely have a clean establishment and the people there are very nice and friendly.

    I love the bread it's a very good bakery. I love it, get bread every other day. It's very busy on cold and rainy days so stay stay and warm.

    Oh Paco Paco whatever happened to you since you have grown? I remember when you used to be in that smaller space right next door to the Chevron. You were always packed when I needed my variety box of breads and seemed to have a larger choice. Forward a few years later since I have returned to you and finally gotten to visit you after you've opened here. Maybe it's that you have doubled your business space but have kept the same amount/variety of bakeries that you had when I frequented you a few years ago? I'll have to make another visit because I can't put my finger on it but I do miss the busy bodies I would see with that sense of urgency you once had. A little tip, the ladies you have now behind the counter now could stand to half crack a smile once in a spell. The two you had a few years ago would make you sense their urgency that they have a job and mean business. See you in a couple of days my friend.

    The cake was done in a rush

    I placed an order Saturday morning and passed at 5:30am my cake was never done they gave me the wrong paper! Had to wait 30 minutes and my cake was not done properly... refused to give me my money back... this has happened twice

    a display of baked goods

    I've been here an insane amount of times over a period of 5 years. Their quality has not changed and I've practically tried everything on their menu at least once. I've been to a few other bakeries like this one and this one edges them out. Not everything they offer is delicious but most of their products are and their variety of pan dulce's they offer is second to none. I wouldn't order custom cakes or full size cakes from here, mostly because I would go to a higher quality bakery for that, but their pan dulce is on point. They've also handled the COVID-19 situation really well.

    Woaa just impressed of the lack of knowledge on sanitation, first the lady was cleaning the countertop by the Pan Dulce with Lysol sprayed directly to the counter, cross contamination ( cleaning material) I don't think they know what it is. Second the casher helper was using tongs for the bread some how the cheesecake from the costumbre in front of me got stuck to the tongs so she decided to hit the tong on top of the trash can. She was going to use the same tongs to grab my pan dulce I did stop her and ask her to use different tongs. They really need to work on the knowledge on that material. Let me know if they need help I willing to do it.

    Tres leches Detroit Lions Cake

    Both the regular and coffee tres leches cake taste amazing. Also, the cake design is on point. They made the grooms cake for my wedding. It was a Detroit Lions NFL themed cake. The cake looked great. The service was excellent and the price was reasonable.

Inside you will also find French pastries, coffees and teas, gelato, milkshakes, sandwiches and macaroons. I felt the most interesting items were the French pastries as they are cute and tasty as well. Also, they plate the pastries nicely when you dine in as an added bonus. I tried the Chocolate Royale and the Ruby. Chocolate Royale - a petit chocolate mouse slice with flat chocolate panels along the sides. It is delicate and tasty. If you're a chocolate lover, this is definitely up your alley. Ruby - visually this looks like a strawberry Hershey kiss, with red powder on the exterior and a top piece of foil to resemble foil on the wrapper of a hershey kiss. Inside, it's filled with a strawberry cream and has a chocolate base. I just wish there was more chocolate in this one. They have plenty of seating inside as well as along the sidewalk. Inside you have the more fancy tables, whereas outside, they're more weather resistant and not as upscale in appearance. The soft drinks to drink along with your sweets are in a cold case along the hotel side of the space and you just take them to the register as you order. One of the most surprising things when you come here are the relatively affordable prices as you might expect them to be more for being a coffee shop attached to a 5-star hotel with a helipad.

What's nudged this place up to 5 stars for me is they have really improved their coffee game, specifically their quality of cappuccino's. Previously it seemed more of latte, but now to me its a legit Capp. Their choice of pastries hasn't changed, which gives you a good assortment of choices and they have added an additional barista or server which also is a nice touch for service. The only niggling items, parking can be tough, so you'll have to either walk a block or be quick to find a place close by. Regardless, definitely give this place a go to come for a pastry and coffee.

I also heard great things about the mango mochi so we couldn't leave without those. Thankfully they still had some in stock. I heard they sell out quickly especially on weekends. Those also lived up to its hype. SO YUMMY! Tastes so fresh including the mangoes. My kiddo who LOVES mango anything loved them so much! My husband also got 2 savory pastries (I forgot what they were called and I forgot to take a picture) and those were yummy too. Perfectly flakey crust just like the egg tarts. We wanted to get sesame balls but they were sold out. Customer service was great. The guy that took our order was very nice. It was pretty busy but he moved through the line quickly. There's some seating inside if you want to eat there. Prices are very reasonable at $2 each for the mochi and egg tarts. The savory pastries were $3. It's located in a shared lot/area. Parking can be tight and limited on a busy weekend day but they have parking right out front for the Eck bakery customers. Also note that if you pay with card it's a 2.5% charge so cash is better if you have it. We didn't but we know now for future. We had a great experience here and will definitely be back. Next time we'll come earlier and get a bigger order and try their other offerings.

(They reminded me of those traditional paper chinese food take out containers but cup form). They also have raw spaghetti pasta? for people to use as stir sticks for their coffees. They had a few tables insides (counter and tables) and outside. Not sure what the wifi/outlet situation was like since we did to go.
