La Esperanza Bakery

First of all, I’ve never been a fan of Mexican pastries. I LOVE sweets though. My husband and I passed by this place and decided to stop in. At first glance, It looked like all the same Mexican pastries I’ve tried in the past, and I didn’t even care to try any because of bad past experiences. My husband chose 2– a custard filled pastry and a bread pudding. I tried the bread pudding first, and I actually was impressed. Eating the edge piece was even better. I would suggest buying this and making a vanilla cream or dulce de leche sauce to top it. The custard pastry was surprisingly delicious as well. This place has restored my faith in Mexican pastries. We will definitely be back

Sometimes, I wake up in the morning craving Mexican sweet breads and this is the place I will go! It’s located next to a ⁷⁄₁₁ in not the best area of Sparks, but this place has some delicious Mexican pastries! You walk in, grab a tray and tongs and pile all the tasty treats, your heart desires, onto that tray. There are no labels on the pastry windows, so it is kind of a guessing game as to what you are grabbing, unless you are familiar with that type of sweet bread. My favorite is this triangle shaped pastry, that is filled with custard. I am not usually a fan of anything with filling, but this scrumptious treat is my exception. The service is great! They have a giant window, in the kitchen, so even if they is nobody directly behind the counter, as soon as you walk up, someone will immediately come over to assist you. They are amazingly affordable. You can pile two trays high with more pastries than you need and still only spend around twenty dollars. I love this place and will continue to come here for some of the best Mexican pastries Ive had.

I actually come her a lot when we run out of Spanish bread. I really like the «Conchas» and the stuffed pastries there.

I have been haunting this bakery since it opened. They always have a smile when you walk thru the door and the shelves are packed with goodies. Now the bakery has expanded with a meat counter and many Mexican foods we all know and love. I am making my way thru their entire menu and have yet to try something that I did not love. The sandwiches are the best for flavor, size and price. The burritos rock! The chicken is just the best, the pork is right there with it. I can’t say enough about the amazing food I have gotten here. I order things on the menu that I do not know what it is (only place in the world I would do this) and I am happy, happy, happy. Treat yourself and check it out, you will understand.
