Panaderia El Acambaro

Rosca de reyes king cake Mexican tradicion1-6-22I bought mine afther 3 day $ 29 Same price $$$was delicious whit guava filling

Hello deliciousness! I am so happy I discovered this bakery. I was at the dentist right next door (ironic right?) and couldn't help but walk in. My goodness, it smelled heavenly. It smelled as if they had just got done baking. They had plenty of pastries on display and all you have to do is get a tray and some tongs and fill it up with whatever you want. I'm only in the Pilsen area when I have to go to the dentist every 6-7 months, so I decided to get one of each of whatever they had available that day. I was getting ready to pay about 40$ but the entire total came out to 13$. Cheap and crazy delicious? Count me in. This place is a Pilsen gem for sure and an absolutely must visit!

Came here because the Nuevo Leon Bakery doesn't carry tres leches. This places has 3 flavors of tres leches: regular vanilla, caramel, and chocolate. From the look of the milk in the bottom, it seems like that the cake would be really sweet, but surprisingly it's not! I personally don't like the ones with too much condensed milk in the bottom. A slice is $3 and it's good for two people to share.

I love pan!! When I saw this place, I had to go in. It's small and it smelled like they had just got done baking all the fresh bread. You get a tray and some tongs, then go and pick what ever pan you want from the cases. There are so many to chose from so good luck getting just a few pieces. I got two empanadas (pineapple and apple) and a concha. They were so good. The concha was super soft and very flavorful and the empanadas were flaky and soft on the inside with lots of fruit.

It's Cinco de Mayo, so of course I'm on the lookout for a good panaderia. This one is just down the street from the 18th St CTA Pink Line stop, and was casting out such enticing aromas as I was running down to the Mexican candy shop down the road that I had to stop inside. My jaw nearly dropped when I saw the prices. $3 for giant baked breads bigger than your cabeza?The setup of the store was strangely reminiscent of some smaller Chinese bakeries I've been in, so I didn't feel too out of place looking around. The selection actually isn't that big, and consists mostly of pan dulce, cookies, and muffins. I ended up getting an Empanada w/ Guava, a Polvoron, a cookie, and some Pan de Tres Leches. The Polvoron and Galleta were kind of dry and too powdery for my liking, but the lady working there told me they were famous for their Pan de Tres Leches. That Pan did not disappoint, and neither did the empanada! They're simple yet tasty, and great if you have a sweet craving but don't want sugar overkill. And even more to my surprise, they accept card payments!

This was such a short walk from my Airbnb so i figures I give it a go since there were so many reviews and it was an /amazing/ choice. You can't go wrong with anything here. Croissants if you like airy, buttery tastes. The pineapple flavored what looks like empanadas? Whatever it was, it was a pocket full of crunchy pastry dough on the outside and gorgeous, gooey pineapple filling on the inside. There were also these huge blocks of fluffy sweet bread that were only a dollar. So worth; I definitely recommend the (cream) cheese and the pineapple. Lastly, I always have to try a bakery's simple doughnut. They have one that's not glazed but coated in granulated sugar and it was amazing. I could only imagine what it would taste like if I microwaved it for a hot second and served it with some ice cream. Every item I got for a $1 a STEAL. Thank you for the good eats!!!! ‍

So I was looking for a nice bakery to pick up some treats for my hubby and I. Found them on Yelp and decided to give them a shot. Looks like a nice, family-owned type of place. Everyone was friendly and answered all my questions about the products (and I had many questions). I settled on a couple of fruit empanadas (guava and pineapple), a strawberry yo-yo, a pink pan dulce, an almond muffin, and a guava-filled puff pastry (can't remember name). The empanadas were very filled with fruit and very tasty!!! I want mooore! The pan dulce was soft and tender. The puff pastry thing was just alright; I probably wouldn't that again. It was all puff pastry and just a dab of guava. I haven't tried the muffin or the yo-yo yet but I am excited to see how they are. Can't wait to go back to this bakery to get some more of those juicy empanadas!

Friendly service! Great Mexican bakery. I pre-ordered the Rosca the Reyes and got the guava & cream cheese. Everyone liked it.

Conchas tasted like they were 2 days old. I don't see the hype. I've been to so many panaderías since I was a little girl and this one is the worst one I've been to. Terrible customer service, the lady was rude. I asked a question and the lady didn't even look at to what I was pointing at and just said "son bollios",...like uh ok,....I wasn't even pointing to that. Hardly anything in stock. Bollios didn't even look fresh. WOOF. Wagners is better. I won't be back here again. Such a shame cuz my daughter's daycare is right across the street and she loves conchas.

This is for my vegan latines! I haven't been able to find vegan conchas for years that taste like the ones I had as a kid. The señoras were so sweet and helpful to point out all the vegan pastries (they even have separate trays and tongs so that there is no cross contamination). It makes me happy to know that I am still able to participate in such a simple cultural custom without feeling left out. Cant wait to take my family here.
