Panaderia Azteca Mexico

I stopped off today for some sweet treats. I grabbed a small assortment to cover my sweet tooth for a few days. The employees here are always so kind and helpful and very patient. Their Mexican Pastries are wonderful. They have a pretty decent selection as well as a store full of drinks candies and some grocery items. I was staring at the menu on the wall of the fabulous looking tortas. I was compelled to pick one up but had to hold myself back because I had lunch plans already. Another stop there soon I guess.

Awesome! Right across the street from me, too! Their baked goods are fresh and made on sight everyday. I’m usually up late and I see them getting there at 4am! Staff is super nice and friendly. The coconut macaroons are big and just, omg, heaven! I also enjoy the pumpkin pastry! The steak torta was tasty as well! The prices are decent. Overall, a great place!
It’s May 27^th and I’m chowing down on a Carne Aseda Torta with everything and a giant coconut macaroon! I’m in food heaven heaven! Absolutely LOVE this place! Again, great staff, surprisingly low prices l, and the baked goods… just YUM! Definitely one of Sparks hidden gems!

I came here twice this week to try it. First time, my husband and I had Tacos and tres leches cake. The tacos are small, but taste good (not great). The tres leches cake is decent but also not fantastic. The 2^nd time, we bought tortas and 2 pastries. The tortas would have been excellent, but the bread they used is no good. The pastries were ok.

We have had numerous different pastries from here and they are all amazing! Today we had carnitas tortas, Pollo tamales, and chocolate cake. The tortas were good, but we would have preferred to have soft warmed buns. The masa of the tamales was flavorful, but there was little chicken in the middle. The chocolate was delish, super moist! The staff here is always super friendly and willing to answer any questions about products.

Best bakery in Reno/​Sparks area! Tres leches cake is delicious! Always order my kids birthday cakes from here! Great customer service!

Best macaroon I’ve ever had! Along with the yummy macaroon I had amazing pork and chicken tamales. The people are also very friendly and helpful. I will be back!

Mmmmm, Pan Dulce, authentic Mexican pastries. I’ve traveled quite extensively throughout all of Mexico. My parents live there 6 months of the year and were former tour guides for 11 years prior to that. I’ve had my fair share. These are as authentic tasting as they get.
If you aren’t familiar with Mexican pastries they aren’t like most pastries in the U.S. Lighter, less rich and much less dense. Modern Mexican pastries were influenced by French and Spanish pastries brought over to Mexico later.
We stopped this morning for a few treats to take to the Sparks Marina nearby for breakfast. We picked up a couple of Apple empanadas and some other pastries. All were fresh and still warm in the case. Just like most panaderias you need grab a tray and some tongs and choose the pastries you’d like and take them to the counter to pay. We picked up a mandarina orange soda for my boyfriend as well and were out the door. The Service was warm and friendly. We were given a stack of napkins and a smile and we left.
They serve tacos and tortas here too but I haven’t had a chance to try them yet.
I only wish they had homemade tortillas to go too.

I’m in love with this place! The pan is fresh and delicious. I love their fruit turnovers, mmmm. The carnitas is delicious! I’m looking forward to trying the tortas soon. They are friendly and the place is clean! My only wish is that they carried diet soda. But this goes to show that they are authentic. I couldn’t find diet in Mexico either.

Been there twice so far, and am impressed.
By 9AM they’ve had over two dozen freshly baked goods in the self-​service racks. I’ve tried 8 different pastries, and all have ranged from very good to great. Place is clean, and the guy at the counter is friendly and helpful (and fluently bi-​lingual).
They also do tortas, with large photos and descriptions on the rear wall — I haven’t tried those yet, so can’t rate them.
The location is a little difficult to find (I drove past it twice!), being at the far North end of the Ross strip mall, in a small building kinda tucked behind the main mall. But it’s definitely worth seeking out.

Four stars mainly for the tasty dough used in the muffins.
This is a new Mexican bakery that opened in the same strip of buildings as BJ’s Barbecue in Sparks. I tried four things. Two muffins. It turns one both were pecan. One was just bigger than the other. I thought the flavors would be different. Another item was something with a strawberry jelly filling and the fourth thing was something with chocolate dough and chocolate frosting.
The muffins were great. I can’t tell the flavor. The texture is like corn meal but the lavors were all vanilla. The dough was perfectly baked and fresh. Yummy. My gripe with some of these panderias is they hold on to the items too long. That wasn’t the case here.
The dough on the strawberry filled item was good, too. The blig flaw there was the strawberry was obviously some sort of preserve from a jar. Simple, sweet and forgetable The chocolate thing was meh.
They also serve sandwiches and coffee.
Panderia Los Palomos on Wells Avenue is a bakery that serves sandwiches made from fresh made bread and they’re excellent. I suspect Panderia Azteco sandwiches will be good, too.
