Oh my! Walked in to a bright, fresh and clean area. It was so peaceful! Then I looked up to see pan dulce cases rounding the walls. Clean trays and tongs. The lady at the counter was pleasant. I bought 10-12 pieces of pan dulce and it was only $10. Will be back. Glad I live 30 min away. Images were taken a day after we bought them. Some are in our bellies already. Nom nom. read more

Unfortunately this Panadería went from a 5 star, to a common 2 star panadería. On my original review, I mentioned I had found the best panadería in the DFW area. To someone who grew up along the top pastry chefs in Mexico, I thought I had the winner. Somehow, they lost their baker, he quit, or retired. El Sol had the "premium" grade pan dulce (Mexican sweet bread), called "campechana", a flaky crust crispy bread that melts in your mouth. And people in Irving used to line up for their campechanas. I walked in, and to my surprise, the campechana tray was full, I thought, "so lucky of me" to find some in the afternoon. Before, campechanas would sell out like pancakes by 10 am. So I bought plenty of campechanas, 3 conchas, one pumpkin empanada, 2 pan de pan (bread pudding), and one "novia" (crispy concha that resembles a bride's dress). I was extremely disappointed, because I drove 30 miles to El Sol, to find that El Sol went from the best in town to an average, or below average panadería, SADLY I WILL LOOK FORWARD TO FINDING THE BEST, NOT EL SOL. read more

Panaderia El Sol - Bad campechanas, bad conchas, I have to feed to the birds. - Bakeries Near Me - Irving, Texas

The bread is good, it's not the best but it's delicious enough to come back. Before the renovations, the bread was stored in a wooden display with windowed glass you could open and get the pastries, but after the renovations they changed to this open display, so little kids running around without supervision could place their hands in the pastries, or any bug flying around could land on the pastries. They should definitely have some kind of barrier between the pastries. Another problem is the woman working there, they look like are so done with their jobs and seem in the bad mood. Overall, it could have improvements, it's not a bad place to get pastries. read more

Panaderia El Sol, it's a good thing you are not a neighborhood joint for me, else I'd be in there every day of the week getting sweet treats to stuff my face. Everything is baked fresh and constantly replenished. I love getting the big round tray and picking and choosing what I want to try, and they also include different treats some days. What I got in my latest excursion here - Conchas - Amarilla and Chocolate Barquillo Bavaria - Pastry with a cream filling Empanada Piña Rollo de Mango Rollo de Canela (Cinnamon roll) Tres Leches - pick up a big slab of this if you go, it's really good and it is not soggy at all - perfect ratio of cake to milk/cream The best part about the place is that most of the items are less than a dollar per piece. For the price and taste, it deserves 5 stars all day! read more

I love the bread from here. Their pan dulce is sooo good! My favorite is the flor de gragea which is like a hard cookie (in a good way) or something like a polvoron in the resemblance of a flower and has rainbow nonpareils on it! Delish!! And of course, the concha's that never fail. My family and I have tried maybe half of the bread selection they have available, and we all have our favorites, of course. The service is pretty good. I've come across some of the ladies working here and most seem to be kind and happy to help. Rare have I encountered someone who's treated me bad, but I've seen some that seem to have a bad attitude but maybe they've had a bad day. At the moment (since Feb. 28), I know they are currently closed due to renovations, which I know will make the place look even better. But I def will miss this place these next few weeks. I think they'll be open by the first week of May? So, I can't wait for the re-opening. read more

Best sweet bread in the DFW area along with the tres leches cakes. We always go home with a big bag of bread and tres leches cake in a cup. Prices are low and the place is clean with great customer service. read more

The best one around, coming from El Paso I know fresh pan dulce and this one is right on par! Many friends I have told keep going back. We go once a week. read more

Update: we've become regulars and the bakers/workers are so sweet and kind. It gets super busy and they work so fast to serve all the customers in a timely manner. They work hard at making sure to bring out fresh product when they are low or out of something. I absolutely love this place. A hidden gem for sure! read more

The service could definitely be better, all the women there apparently hate their job and don't even try to fake it. my worst experience to this day has been with Ceci. The bread isn't great, it's barely good. I would rather make a drive to other bakeries where I know my bread will be fresher and the people will at least fake a smile. read more

Bread may taste good but the service is so bad leaves a bad taste in your mouth. The people here are so rude and pushy its ridiculous. They act like your there to serve them. read more

They make a wonderful dessert I discovered which is a small round cake filled with mango. I call it a mango cake as I don't know the correct name. I can't wait to visit again and have it. My husband is very familiar with the bakery and likes so many things too! read more

I stopped here after dinner to bring some snacks and dessert home for the wife. You can't sit and eat here. This place is more of a grab and go kind of place. I grabbed the standard clamshell sweet bread, a few croissants, the m&m cookies, and a few pineapple turnovers. The clamshell bread came in quite a few different flavors and I brought home the chocolate flavored one, a strawberry flavored one, and a vanilla flavored one? The chocolate flavored one was my favorite. The croissants melted in your mouth too. These croissants were decent sized too! They weren't the tiny ones that some stores sell, instead were about as large as your entire hand. They were buttery, fresh and full of flavor. The croissants were my wife's and my favorite item from here. The croissant was probably the healthiest option from here as well. It was not sweet. It had a tiny tinge of sweetness, but mainly was tasted like pillowly goodness. The m&m cookies were a super close second for me! They were great tasting sugar cookies with m&m's on top. They are my favorite type of cookie and I get them every time I come here. The turnovers are good fresh, but don't let them get more than a day old. If you don't eat them right away, I highly recommend heating them up in an oven. If not, at least a microwave. Stale turnover never taste good. And these are super light too, so they will go stale quickly. Overall, pretty much anything you can get here is phenomenal. My favorites are the croissants, m&m cookies, turnovers, and the clamshell sweetbread. This place has items coming hot out of the oven every hour and only sells the freshest food. Highly recommend and will be back! read more

everytime i call to make an appointment for a cake order.

The beat mexican sweet bread here on Irving I love it everything is good here Good coustumer service always friendly faces read more

They have a wide variety of sweet breads to choose from! A large assortment of colors, flavors, sprinkles, coconut, traditional, the list goes on and on. They have always been fresh when I have come. Prices are comparable to other sweet bread stores. They also sell homemade flour tortillas. I have gotten these before and really liked them. I still like Marquez bakery sweet breads better, but this is a close second. This place for sure has more sweet bread options! When I am in this area I always stop by! read more

We ordered a couple cream pastries. While I was impressed with the variety of options at El Sol, I was underwhelmed by the execution. The puff pastry tasted like a hotdog bun and the other pastry was dry. The cream on these was sweet, unctuous, and delectable. But, this bakery needs to improve the execution of their pastry before I could recommend. read more

Although, I love this panaderia...this still doesn't change the fact that Im very displeased with this panaderia that a phone order is not accepted here. Are you kidding me? You guys dont realize not all customers are able to walk in & place the order in person & also pick it up....I have ruptured disc in my back due to a car accident & it makes it hard for me to walk & stand even for a little while. Anyways, its terrible service to me that you would turn away good Business like that! YOUR BUSINESS IS BROUGHT TO YOU BY YOUR CUSTOMERS...IF IT WERE NOT FOR CONSISTANT CUSTOMERS YOU WOULD NOT BE THERE... REMEMBER THAT!!! But, ok its cool! I called to Del Norte Bakery & spoke with Lucy & she gladly obliged & took the order with no hesitations & she was able to have my order ready for me by 11am today 2-04-19. Oh well you loss a Big great guaranteed sale for today 2-04-19!!! read more

Yummy bread and friendly customer service! Especially during the holiday season. During the regular season, the cashiers are usually not as friendly or happy to be there--I was surprised that the young lady who helped me was in a good mood and was kind!

Pareciera que no quieren vender el pan. Me comuniqué con dos dependientas dos veces porque yo quería hacer una orden de 100 piezas de pan. Me dijeron en ambas ocaciones varias razones por las que NO podían tomarme la orden. Dijeron que sería muy temprano para que estuvieran listas a las 6:30 am, aun que la orden la quería hacer con 2 días de anticipación. Luego dijeron que se prefiere que se vendan primero las que ya están en la vitrina. Fue entonces que les dije que volvería mañana por las que estuvieran disponibles. Hoy temprano fui de nuevo y tomé las que estaban en la vitrina y la cajera fue muy grosera. No quiso que tomara toda la charola de la vitrina lo cual sería más fácil en lugar de ocupar 3 charolas para tomar el pan. Luego al ella poner mi pan en la bolsa lo hacía bruscamente aventando el pan. Ni esta dependienta ni doña Meche me sabían cobrar lo que era. Me estaban cobrando más que el doble la cantidad de lo que debería de ser. Si esta panadería no quiere vender, pues entonces que cierren el negocio. No tienen por qué hacer tanta excusa. Y definitivamente si los trabajadores van a ser groseros con la clientela, entonces es tiempo que busquen otro lugar para trabajar. Yo no recomiendo este lugar por tan baja calidad. read more

Después de las 7 ya no sacan pan deberían sacar pan hasta las 9 que cierran es una panadería !!!

Very good bread very tasty. You can't order ahead or even pay in advance for your bread, if you live far away make sure you call in advance to make sure they have what you want available.. but it's worth the drive Covid they are doing.

This place is absolutely the worst ...I picked up tons bread and I was given separate bags of bread I asked for a larger box like a cake box and they said they could not provide it . It was beyond me I even stated I'd pay for the box as I didn't want multiple people digging in bags due to Covid as I was taking it to the event ...she did not care whatsoever . She explained I would have had to have made a prior order in order to get one of those boxes ! Dumbest thing I've ever heard. read more

I could live here! Hahaha. This place has the BEST piña empanadas I've had in the US! They have other amazing bread as well but piña empanadas are my jam (pun intended ). Also if you're in line to pay and they bring the cart with fresh out of the oven bolillo, uuuhh my friend, you are not leaving the place with less than 5 of those bad boys! Ah and the ladies are very friendly and smiles flow in that place left and right! read more

This is my fav panaderia. I love getting freshly baked pan dulce from this place. Their pan dulce is really good and its affordable

Knead to Know One of the things I love with my morning coffee, on a weekend, is a soft pastry. A freshly made, still warm, "pan dulce" (sweet bread, but not the beef kind). I love knowing that less than a 5 min drive is Panaderia El Sol (Sun Bakery) where they make fresh bread every day. I normally like an early morning bread run, to pick up Conchas, Empanadas, cake, donuts, marranitos, among my favorites. Now, I could try to explain what each pastries looks and tastes like. On the other hand, the bread here is so cheap (most pieces run about 50¢, that for $5 you could easily bring home a couple of bags full to try out and discover your own favorites. Pick up a platter and some tongs and get to picking. Who kneads more? read more

Well worth the 5 stars and then some! I gladly drive from South Arlington ( near Mansfield) to buy delicious and authentic Mexican sweet bread. Every item selected is always fresh and great tasting. I'm originally from El Paso Texas a ( border city) and I spent a lot of time driving to different " Mexican" bakeries in DFW trying the sweet bread until I found this little gem!! It is amazing and definitely reminds me of home. The bread remains soft and flavorful for a couple of days. They have a variety of different kinds of sweet breads that include conchas, empanadas, cuernos, rollos de coco, donas, sliced cake, pineapple baskets, and a variety of cookies too! Stop and try it.... you will love it !!! read more
