I decided to stop at this panaderia while I was driving by on the way downtown. The first time I stopped was Monday, which happens to be the only day they are closed (of course). I went back again when it was open on Thursday.
The panaderia (bakery in spanish) is very small, and one woman owns it. Most of the items they are very sweet, while on the weekends they serve more savory items (think sandwiches). I have yet to go on the weekend, but the pastries I got when I was there were really good. I picked out three different things, and the lady was so happy I decided to stop by that she gave me the fourth one free. All of that cost 2.45. I got a pumpkin filled pastry, a cheesecake filled one, a Mexican cookie, and a coconut covered item whose name I can't pronounce.
With such slim picking in Toledo for some authentic latino cuisine, it was refreshing to find a delicious and cheap Mexican bakery close by. read more
