Local Mexican bakery located in old Sparks off of Prater. My kids sent me on a mission for conchas; they love the strawberry flavored the most. I went fairly early in the morning and luckily they had all of our favorites in stock. I picked up maybe 10 items total. Pineapple upside down cakes, strawberry filled pastries, and 5 conchas. They offer a full menu from their kitchen and I was tempted to order a torta and tacos. I ran out of time and planned on having tacos for lunch, so I waited. I would like to try them next time. Service was great and the store was quiet! I was the only patron inside and not complaining about that. I prefer quieter places without crowds these days. I'm glad I found my favorites and I plan on returning in the near future. read more

Great coffee and even better pan dulce. Like any other panaderia, when you walk toward the display case you'll see a large assortment of tasty pan dulce. Take your time to glance through the selection, it's all pretty fantastic. When you view the pan dulce, you'll see a stack of clean trays and silver tongs for you to pick and choose which pastry you'd like. From there, you head over to the cashier where you'll ring up your items, pick out a drink and enjoy your meal. They also offer a few items for breakfast and lunch that we'll be back for. Quick, easy, TASTY and Always a pleasure! read more

This is my favorite panadería in Reno! They offer fresh delicious breakfast, lunch, dinner, and dessert for reasonable prices. Everything from a carne asada burrito, conchas to accompany your morning coffee, piñatas for birthday parties, and custom cakes! I've never waited longer than 5-10 minutes for my food to be ready. The bakery items are soft, their savory selection is cooked to perfection, and the customer service is amazing! It has a nostalgic feel that teleports you to abuela's house and leaves you feeling satisfied. read more

La Azteca is the best Mexican bakery in the Truckee Meadows. Their assortment of pan dulce is the biggest and best in this area. The staff has always been friendly and helpful. My only criticism is the jalapeño and cream cheese bolillos need more jalapeños and cream cheese. Love the assortment and quality of their pan dulce. read more

Boy has this place fallen off. First, The salsas they serve are too watered down you can barely taste them. Store owner lady, if you see this, please STOP adding so much water to your salsas to produce a higher yield! You are sacrificing quality for quantity and it's only getting worse! For those of you coming for my head about the salsas, the food quality in general has gone down hill. the bread they sell, It's always so stale! Why?! Folks, Don't bother coming to this location. Give the Sutro location a try sometime and you will notice the drastic difference in quality. Granted, sure they don't sell breakfast and tacos like that, but the quality of the tortas and bread they have on display is far far better than the sparks location. I don't eat bread like that anymore but I take myself to albertos across the street for better quality food and salsas! Lol Note: I don't think they are the same owners. Just similar bakery names. read more

Great place to stop by on my way to work. I like to grab champurrado and tamales to fuel for a busy day. Never a bad idea to grab some pan de dulce for an evening cafecito. Love the energy of the staff and great service. Always welcoming, smiling and playing fun music. read more

I been craving bread & thought this was the same people on sutro but nothing remotely close. The bread is so old and stale. Pricy for the quality you get here! Not worth coming here for pan dulce, I'll happily drive across town from now on. read more

Decided to try a different panaderia and chose this one since it's close to home. It's was 5pm and they still had a nice selection of bread to choose from. I picked my selection and ordered some tamales to take home and try as well. The pan dulce was fresh, soft and delicious. The tamales were good but for $3 a piece were on the smaller side. I took a chicken, a pork and cheese with jalapeño to try with my husband, and all had a good flavor to them. They also sell tacos, burritos and tortas. I wouldn't mind giving those a try on a future visit. I will definitely come back for more pan dulce. read more

I would love to have this place within a few minutes from my home. Fresh everything, and they poured a fresh to-go of regular drip coffee, for our quick nosh. I'd have tried some lunch items on their menu board, but we did have plans for a big dinner. Grabbed some bolillos filled with jalapenos and cream cheese for a snack. We love any Mexican grocery or bakery that serves food. We will remember this place next time we visit. read more

This is a bummer to write. I've frequented the panaderia for a quick bite and extra bonus points as it's a few stores down from my favorite Vietnamese iced coffee. I've enjoyed ordering the carnitas torta but it was an off day. The carnitas in the sandwich were hard pieces of meat and the avocado was a merely two slices and a good amount of it was brownish black (the best part usually). The second star was for the chocolate cupcake as that at least was moist and flavorful. Guess I will be shopping around for a new torta place. read more

We were in the neighborhood & on a mission to find dessert for dinner at a friends house later. We stopped in & found a little convenience store with a variety of bakery items to the side. They provide trays & tongs to grab your own items. They have a great selection, between cookies & pastries, donuts & cakes, and everything in between. We got about 12 items for $20 - which wasn't bad in my opinion. It didn't appear to be the cleanest. They wrapped up our items that had cream on top & it smashed the frosting/decor. It would have been nice to have a box instead of the items being shoved in a bag. It wasn't a nice display for my gathering. read more

I dont normally leave comments but come on. This little bit of avocado for that big sandwich is ridiculous. I had to also replace the tomatoes as they were old already n mushy. read more

Panaderia Azteca Mexico - Torta with avocado??? - Bakeries Near Me - Sparks, Nevada

They seem to charge whatever they feel like at the time. 12$ for a quesadilla with no meat ?! I've shopped there a few times before posting this. The pasteries are ok. Sometimes stale. The flour tortillas they sell at 10$$! Are soggy and gummy read more

Current mood: sad cabbage sandwich. Might not go back there, idk. A cold weekend and foiled tree-cutting expedition left us craving some hearty food, and Azteca was on the way home. It's a cute little bakery, and the pastry case was filled with lovely goodies, but we wanted tortas! I ordered ham & cheese, hubby got carnitas with cheese and avocado. Also ordered a few tamales, and got some flan too. It all looked pretty good. The sandwiches weren't what we expected. There was literally 1 ONE slice of ham on my torta. I put more than 1 slice of ham on my kids' sammiches! Plus, there was a pile of raw cabbage, and a slab of cheese. Hubby's torta had a bit more meat, the same pile of cabbage, a similar slab of cheese and avocado so small, we might have missed it. Overall, just a strange sandwich, nothing like any tortas we've ever had. The flan was delightful, and even tho I steamed the tamales to reheat, they were dry as a bone. Since there was no salsa in the bag, we choked them back without any. Unfortunately, we both had some tummy trouble later on, so I'm not sure the culprit, but we both had it. read more

In office musts. I get early morning texts from my colleagues when they know I will be in office! Either Starbucks fun or a pan dulce run! Panadería Azteca is one of my go to bakeries in Reno/sparks. My friend and her family own both locations. Their sister location in located near Sutro in Reno. Make sure to check hours because I have dropped by early Tuesday and they were closed. Sad day! Came by for bread yesterday and I came at the perfect time! All cases full of Mexican pan dulce! Purchased a load of bread and a tamale. Conchas, niño envuelto, mantecadas, cono rellenos, puerquitos, empanadas and polvorones are a few I can name that I got. I was given a cake box for the amount of bread I purchased. Great place to pick up lunch too, they have many torta options in their menu. When in Sparks this is a must! read more

This place is wonderful! I would give this place 10 stars if I could. Customer service was beyond amazing! Made me feel like I was walking in to my own family business. You're greeted like family. The place is clean and the bread...THE BREAD!!!!! Yuuuuummmm!!!! We shared it with people that had never had Mexican bread and they loved it! It was amazing!!!! If I lived in the area this would be our go to place. The customer service alone is worth going here and trying it out. read more

Worst tacos I've ever had, they were so plane and had no flavor. If you Mexican and enjoy their quality of food, it's a shame. Never thought I would be that person to leave a bad review, but I'm tired of these trash wannabe Mexican food places. Like at least put some seasoning. A waste of money!!!!!!!!! read more

Called in to order 20 bolillos to pick up the next day. I go in and said I placed an order to pick up the lady in the front goes to the back and comes back and says we have no order for you. We don't take orders unless you come in and pay. Never offered to give me any bolillos. Bad business won't be back. Went to La Esperanza Bakery and they were happy to fill my order no problems. And their bread is better and cheaper priced too. read more

I was on my way to being a regular customer at this mexican bakery establishment and never before had any problem. But today at 10:15 AM 9/2/22, I was severely harassed by one of the workers there. I was keeping to myself, enjoying the pastry I bought, sitting in the corner table they have. I was enjoying my day and taking snapchat videos of the store. Right after filming the store, the clerk with very hoarse voice has the audacity to begin shouting at me across the entire store, repeatedly remarking he can see me on the camera. I ignored him but he literally kept making this remark over and over, "I CAN SEE YOU ON THE CAMERA "HEY I CAN SEE YOU ON THE CAMERA "HEY I'VE BEEN WATCHING YOU" "HEY I CAN SEE YOU ON THE CAMERA" I kid you not, *over, and over*, for several minutes (there were no other customers in the store! It's a small store, I was the only one) and after several minutes of this man shouting at me across the bakery, I replied back so he would be quiet already, I told him I can see him too and he's funny. I laughed and HE MOCKED ME, a customer! He then made a sexist remark asking me "WHERE IS YOUR BOYFRIEND?" I told him he shouldn't alienate his customers, brushed the crumbs off the table and got up. When I got up the gray haired man and a curly haired man were standing behind the register staring right at me, grinning. I ignored them and walked out. I cannot emphasize how much this ruined my day. I didn't do anything to merit this level of harassment. I felt I was treated badly because I am a woman and was alone eating there, and I have long red hair and a dress so the perpetrator felt he could mess with me. I didn't get his name but he sounded like a hoarse old man and had curly hair. I never had any issues with the gray haired man or his wife. This blew my mind. I could not believe the level of disrespect and sexism. read more

We have had numerous different pastries from here and they are all amazing! Today we had carnitas tortas, Pollo tamales, and chocolate cake. The tortas were good, but we would have preferred to have soft warmed buns. The masa of the tamales was flavorful, but there was little chicken in the middle. The chocolate was delish, super moist! The staff here is always super friendly and willing to answer any questions about products. read more

Mmmmm, Pan Dulce, authentic Mexican pastries. I've traveled quite extensively throughout all of Mexico. My parents live there 6 months of the year and were former tour guides for 11 years prior to that. I've had my fair share. These are as authentic tasting as they get. If you aren't familiar with Mexican pastries they aren't like most pastries in the U.S. Lighter, less rich and much less dense. Modern Mexican pastries were influenced by French and Spanish pastries brought over to Mexico later. We stopped this morning for a few treats to take to the Sparks Marina nearby for breakfast. We picked up a couple of Apple empanadas and some other pastries. All were fresh and still warm in the case. Just like most panaderias you need grab a tray and some tongs and choose the pastries you'd like and take them to the counter to pay. We picked up a mandarina orange soda for my boyfriend as well and were out the door. The Service was warm and friendly. We were given a stack of napkins and a smile and we left. They serve tacos and tortas here too but I haven't had a chance to try them yet. I only wish they had homemade tortillas to go too. read more

My husband and I stopped in here last week after the recommendation from one of his coworkers. We got a super moist piece of chocolate cake. He got a torta and I got a burrito with carnitas and no joke I've been thinking about that burrito every day since then it's been hard trying to convince myself not to go back every day since then. So good! Definitely recommend. The guy at the counter was really nice and helpful too. read more

Finally found a Panaderia that reminds me of home. Fresh and delicious pan dulce, delicious.

So glad I tried out this panaderia! This business has a very large display case of enticing, sweet treats that you choose yourself, place on a tray, and take to the counter to purchase. The baked goods are of large size and reasonable price. Stopping in here is becoming a habit! As a result, I've tried many of their offerings and have found them all to be fresh and tasty. read more

Great bakery, has its ups and downs and has been around for my childhood, love the tortas here and the place makes fresh bread everyday love the quality of the sweet bread too. read more

Just don't order food from here without checking it before you leave. I got3 taco combos and all 3 had refined bean soup And it leaked all over my car and the rest of the food. They tried telling me that that's how they make it. Then when I asked for my money back then they decided to make me a new back of beans. read more

Worst Mexican food I ever had !! Meat in tacos was cold a taste like pure grease . Rice was old no flavor . Refi refried beans wasn't half bad I will say that the quesadilla had cold chicken the cheese wasn't even all the way melted didn't have a good crust on it the whole plate was terrible read more

Ordered a CARNE ASADA torta. Which was made with ground beef. Ground beef is not even on the menu. Didn't realize until I got home. Major disappointment. I feel like I wasted my time and money. read more

I freaking love this place! The tortas are reasonable and so so tasty. On my most recent trip the twin ordered a carne asada torta, the friend ordered a burrito the size of her head, and I got a pastry with some sort of sticky custard in the middle. All 3 of us were pleased as punch with our choices. The lady behind the counter was super patient with our indecisiveness and totally helped us decide what to get. I didn't get one on this trip but their churros are BOMBTASTY. The prices are super reasonable too, if you are in the neighborhood it's totally worth stopping. OH! and they have pinatas too. read more

I stopped off today for some sweet treats. I grabbed a small assortment to cover my sweet tooth for a few days. The employees here are always so kind and helpful and very patient. Their Mexican Pastries are wonderful. They have a pretty decent selection as well as a store full of drinks candies and some grocery items. I was staring at the menu on the wall of the fabulous looking tortas. I was compelled to pick one up but had to hold myself back because I had lunch plans already. Another stop there soon I guess. read more

I've recently relocated from California, originally from LA where you can always find amazing Mexican food. I've been in the hunt for Pan Dulce. I stumbled onto Azteca on my was home from Pilates (), saw this place from the corner of my eye and made a u-turn. OMG the churro was perfect, the Pan dulce amazing. I'll come back and try the food. I found happiness in Sparks! read more

Awesome! Right across the street from me, too! Their baked goods are fresh and made on sight everyday. I'm usually up late and I see them getting there at 4am!! Staff is super nice and friendly. The coconut macaroons are big and just, omg, heaven!! I also enjoy the pumpkin pastry! The steak torta was tasty as well! The prices are decent. Overall, a great place! It's May 27th and I'm chowing down on a Carne Aseda Torta with everything and a giant coconut macaroon! I'm in food heaven heaven! Absolutely LOVE this place! Again, great staff, surprisingly low prices l, and the baked goods....just YUM! Definitely one of Sparks hidden gems!! Support Local Businesses! read more

Four stars mainly for the tasty dough used in the muffins. This is a new Mexican bakery that opened in the same strip of buildings as BJ's Barbecue in Sparks. I tried four things. Two muffins. It turns one both were pecan. One was just bigger than the other. I thought the flavors would be different. Another item was something with a strawberry jelly filling and the fourth thing was something with chocolate dough and chocolate frosting. The muffins were great. I can't tell the flavor. The texture is like corn meal but the lavors were all vanilla.. The dough was perfectly baked and fresh. Yummy. My gripe with some of these panderias is they hold on to the items too long. That wasn't the case here. The dough on the strawberry filled item was good, too. The blig flaw there was the strawberry was obviously some sort of preserve from a jar. Simple, sweet and forgetable The chocolate thing was meh. They also serve sandwiches and coffee. Panderia Los Palomos on Wells Avenue is a bakery that serves sandwiches made from fresh made bread and they're excellent. I suspect Panderia Azteco sandwiches will be good, too. read more

I live very close. The pastries are good and fresh. I like coffee with my pastries and so I went right for it and it was burned coffee sitting there. The fella said he wasn't making any more. That's ridiculous. Really? At a pastry shop. He's not a very happy man. read more

This is the most rudest customer service they don't even know what they sell and the food isn't even good. I went to order tamales and they gave me the wrong kind and I asked for the chicken tamale and they said "oh we don't have anymore" they should've said that when I purchased the tamale. read more

This place is the dank. They have the best flan in town. Their tacos are addicting. All of their baked good are moist and delicious. Don't waste your time at any other bakery, just buy food here. You won't be disappointed. read more

So, I found this excellent Mexican bakery not far from my house, being from Tucson AZ I've come to enjoy the different pastries. The food here is delicious. My only issue is that it seems that if I go in the morning the ladies charge 1$ each for the pastries, but in the afternoon the young man charges $1.25 each for the exact same empanadas etc...the food is very good but get your prices straight. read more

Wandering around town Sunday afternoon looking for a sweet treat and decided to stop in. Wow! Greeted by a wall of pastries and other goodies it was hard to decide. We left with a bag full of goodies for $3.50. We tried the oreja, berry empanada, a churro. I highly recommend this place. read more
