Hector's Bakery

I went there for Mexican pastries but also got some red chili pork tamales. The pastries and tamales were both excellent. The tamales had a wonderful taste and were well stuffed.

My abuelitos have been faithful customers here for years and now I will be too!They have the best bolillos (small loaves of white bread) in all of Albuquerque! They are best used to accompany menudo (yum!), in a torta (basically cut horizontally and prepared like a sandwich lol), or toasted and buttered up to go with hot chocolate. I love that they are baked until they are golden. Only wish I had pictures but I will update later. Hector's also has a great selection of other bakes goods. They have your typical Mexican bakery conchas, corazones, mantecadas, and empanadas. One I have not seen anywhere else- the mango filled empanada and it was delicious!

Fresh donuts, Mexican bread...a local hole in the wall! A chile relleno is muy delicioso!A chile relleno is a local favorite; filled with beans and cheese! Burritos, tortas, quesadilla, tacos and more.

My family and I have been getting our menudo, bread, and pan dulce from Hector's since we moved to Albuquerque in 2005. The menudo is hands down the best in the city. We've tried menudo from a couple of other places in town, and they've all paled in comparison to Hector's. The staff is always helpful, and the place is always packed when we go in. A small hole in the wall place that is a treasure!

The best Tres Leches cakes in the world!! Used to work at the elementary school nearby and loved that this place was so close!

The bread and burritos are awesome. The menudo needs flavor. I will tell them next time I go.

I've been trying to order tamales but I can't order them cuz they don't answer the phone can you please call me 505-429-2201

I tried to order a Tres Leches cake based on previous reviews. A woman answered in Spanish and when I began to speak in English, she hung up. I thought perhaps she could not hear me so I called again. This time she stayed on the phone but then said " speak no English". I asked if anyone there spoke english and she said "No"! and banged the phone down again. I find this to be very rude, if not racest!
