Please consider supporting this family owned business in the McKinley neighborhood of Tacoma. They do such a nice job with their baked goodies. Not only does Teresita's have cakes, macarons, and other sweet yummies, they do tamales. We have ordered twice from them and will again. Red Pork, Green Chili Chicken, and Mexican cheese with peppers. So delicious. We did larger orders of three dozen. Pre-orders are necessary as they make these once a week. They pack them hot in aluminum trays and covered with foil. We think they really appreciate these orders because they gave us a delicious fruit dessert on the house. So sweet. Por favor, considere apoyar a este negocio familiar en el vecindario McKinley de Tacoma. Hacen un buen trabajo con sus golosinas horneadas. Teresita's no solo tiene pasteles, macarons y otras delicias dulces, sino que también tiene tamales. Hemos pedido dos veces de ellos y lo haremos de nuevo. Cerdo rojo, pollo con chile verde y queso mexicano con pimientos. Tan delicioso. Hicimos pedidos más grandes de tres docenas. Los pedidos anticipados son necesarios, ya que los hacen una vez a la semana. Los empacan calientes en bandejas de aluminio y los cubren con papel de aluminio. Creemos que realmente aprecian estos pedidos porque nos dieron un delicioso postre de frutas en la casa. Tan dulce. read more

The cake was delicious! Not too sweet, perfect for my taste buds. It wasn't too wet nor to dry. I usually only eat a slice of cake but this has me going for seconds. I had placed an order for my mom's birthday and she loved it! I showed them a reference picture and it came just like the picture. My total for this cake was $55. Will definitely be placing more cake orders for future bdays ! read more

I want to share my gratitude for this bakery. I have ordered many cakes from them over the years and have never been disappointed. Their cakes are always beautiful and taste the best in town. On Sunday I had a graduation party for my youngest son and hadn't pre-ordered a cake for him. I stopped by Teresita's and found the perfect cake. I planned on coming back by 1 (their closing time) and lost track of time, they let me pick it up when I arrived at almost 2. The tres leches cake was pineapple and coconut. Everyone at the party enjoyed it. read more

Absolutely love getting cakes from here. Tres leches in any recipe has always been super moist and delicious, and the Oreo filling option is the best. Service has always been kind and I appreciate them being able to fill orders even on short notice. Always great to get something from them, and the option to have a photo or design on the cake is great for making a unique cake. read more

Thank you for another beautiful, yummy and reasonably priced cake! I called with only 2 days left before Mother's Day and they were able to still make me a custom cake! read more

Crappy days call for cake! I was leaving the dog park when I thought - dessert would brighten my day. I looked up a bakery in my Waze app and it brought up Teresita's. I'd never been so I decided to stop by. This small bakery is tucked right on 38th & McKinley, which is crazy to me because I always go to the Top of Tacoma. Anyway, I went in and was greeted by a young man who was so well spoken and willing to explain what everything was. I decided trying one wasn't good enough! I decided to get Tres Leche cake, fruits tarts, arroz con Leche and a cheesecake. After paying the young man rushed to hold the door open as I was leaving. So sweet and polite! Everything was tasty and I will definitely be back to try other treats. read more

We were looking for a new local panaderia to order cakes from, and we came across Teresita's yelp page. The reviews seemed promising, and they were right. We chose the size based on how many people we were serving, which was reflected in the price. Especially since that we came in with barely any designs in mind and came up with one on the spot. I believe we got our money's worth since we had no complaints whatsoever. I even bought a slice of choco flan, which was fantastic (price-wise and in taste). read more

The cake was beautifully decorated however, the inside of the chocolate cake was dry Not enough filling? Overcooked? I don't know ...The other cake was dry and it was the wrong flavor. $120 wasted. Ordene un pastel de 3 leches y 1 de chocolate con raspberry. El pastel de chocolate estaba seco y el otro pastel era de otro sabor, no fue el de tres leches que pedí. Perdí mucho dinero. No lo recomiendo read more

This is truly a hidden gem! I made an order for my sisters birthday, then changed it again last minute and they were so patient and understanding. Definitely coming back for future events! read more

I have never written a bad review but let me just say that this place is something else.. I am only given them a one star to hopefully get anyones attention. I am a single mom try to make my baby's birthday more memorable as possible for myself and him of course so I decided to go all out. I have struggled to find a good bakery so I figured hey this bakery offer pricey cakes due to QUALITY especially based on the pictures. So I paid 180 dollars for this cake. They rent the base of the cake for like 30 bucks which i would have eventually gotten back. I was supposed to pick it up at 4 pm. Also mind you I went 3 weeks in advanced to place this order 3 weeks. Anyways day of the party comes I received a call at 3:30 they were running late and asked if were able to pick it up at 5. I was like okay sure you know the party is at 4 but guest don't arrive on time. 5 comes around guest are here already I myself cannot go pick up the cake so my sister goes to pick it up and has to take a 20-30 min drive has to take the hwy and there's traffic on a Saturday of course ! So anyways 5 comes around they go and I ended up receiving a call from my sister that they are still not done. My cake was a Late for two and a half hours almost threee. I was already disappointed next thing you know I'm looking at this cake and I'm just confused because look at this. And I didn't even get a picture but I got peaches on top layer when I specially asked for all strawberries. The only toy on this cake is a damn banana. And trust me I hate to talk negatively about businesses but this is just absolutely ridiculous and as you can see 3 leches cake are to supposed to have a tray to carry the damn leche(milk) that photo was taken the same night look how dry the cake is read more

Amazing tres leches cakes. I'm from California and this was the closer thing to home I could ask for. Highly recommend to everyone.

My husband and I are originally from Texas and we both love and I mean LOVE Tres Leches cake. So, for Valentines Day I thought I would go and find a bakery selling authentic tres leches cake. I came across Teresita's Bakery and headed over from JBLM hoping it would be worth it. I walked in and was greeted by a very lovely woman I assume was the owner. I bought the last Tres Leches cake. It looked delicious and I purchased it. The lady offered to write a nice message on the cake for me and even offered to add extra fruit for me! It was a nice size cake and it cost 35.00 which I felt was reasonable. Anyway, got home and presented it to my hubby and he was surprised and grateful. We were surprised that the cake was chocolate and yellow cake. We never had chocolate tres Leches cake before. My only problem was I would have liked to have known that before I purchased it. Anyway, it was still really really great cake. Not to wet and not dry at all very moist. I would definitely go back and purchase another cake! read more

I found out my friend's favorite cake was tres leches, the day before her birthday, was at Teresita's when it opened and they welcomed me with 3 different beautiful cakes to choose from. Also, it tuna out, this place has the best Tres Leches cake I have ever had. They make them fresh daily and it just melts in your mouth. It is also incredibly affordable for the quality and care put into their cakes. We will definitely be back! read more

The sole reason for stopping here was the Hello Kitty pinata hanging in the window. That was our quest for the day in and out of markets with no luck. This isn't the kind of bakery selling Mexican treats, but more of a place that will make specialty cakes. As for the pinata.....it was old, faded and assembled with Hello Kitty birthday plates, cones and streamer. Hey, my daughter didn't seem to care and was very happy with the purchase! read more

I was searching for a good tres leches cake in the area and found positive reviews about Teresita's and I am so glad that I did. The cake was beautifully decorated and absolutely delicious. I was not sure what to expect with the fruit filling, but it was fresh fruit which was a pleasant surprise (as opposed to the gelatinous stuff that other places will use). She was kind and helpful and very easy to do business with. I will continue to buy cakes for all occasions from her as her appreciation for the craft is evident. read more
