Cake Pastel

Awesome panadería! I live in Madison, and we don’t have a panadería this good in Madison. Selection here is very good, very wide variety. Prices are great. I plan to go back and try the tamales.

Wide selection of traditional Mexican and American baked goods; donuts, cakes, banana bread, churros, pan dulce, mantecados, conchas, galletas, all as big as your head! They also have tamales, sodas, and a good size of refrigerated items, such as flan and arroz con leche puddings.
We got flan, rice pudding, churro, pork tamales, and donut — all for $ 6.25! The churro is very good! But it would be hard to mess up deep fried dough covered in sugar. I think I’d just get this the next time we stop in. The donut was not as impressive, flavorless dough with what tasted like stale chocolate frosting, perhaps it was a few days old. The puddings were good, however these were not homemade, as they came in industrial packaging containers.
The pork tamales didn’t have any particular standout as far as flavor. I would recommend just sticking to the pasteles next time, preferably any deep fried dough covered in sugar.

Filled my tray with a variety; «un poquito de todo». Very economical & everything so fresh. Open every day early & late. Friendly & knowledgeable staff.
