Mama Ines Mexican Bakery

As if I could live this place more- I took my toddler for the first time over the weekend and he LOVED it. From the tray and tongs to pick out treats to the colorful pastry displays, it's a party for the senses. We ended up snagging tamales (so moist and wonderful) buñeulos, queso tarts, a cookie and some delicious hot champurrado. The champurrado seemed to be the star of the show that morning as folks grabbed pastries and drinks for the road. The drink featured chocolate, masa, milk and spices- it's thick, hearty and so comforting. We dipped the buñueo in it for good measure ;)Overall, another wonderful experience and great opportunity to get your kids to practice Spanish.

I had heard great things about Mama Ines' Bakery and thought I'd check it out. It's quite expansive and has a beautiful interior. Certainly a lot of recognizable staples plus a few pastries I hadn't seen before! I decided to try a slice of the Tres Leches and then also (not pictured) a chocolate cupcake. Unfortunately both items were quite dry (which is especially surprising for the Tres Leches since that's usually extremely moist). I personally won't be likely to go back, but I know others should be able to find what they'd like!

After eating lunch, I had a doctor's appointment in the area. While I was waiting I did a search on Yelp for dessert and found this place. This is large store for this type of product. The cases lining the walls seemed endless of product. It took awhile to browse through all of the selections.As noted by other reviewers the lack of labels and prices can be challenging, however the pricing is on the low end and not really a concern. My entire platter of seven items only cost me $11. My only need for labels would be to know what the filling inside is, if any.My favorite were the Bavarian cream filled pastries. I like how they place the filling inside. They do it differently than traditional donut places so as not to overwhelm the pastry with filling, only to compliment the dough. The pound cake I tried was wonderful. It was moist while not being too heavy. I should have picked up two pieces and tried some of the other cake choices.

If you like Mexican bakery goods and tamales then you NEED to RUN yes RUN to mama ines. This little gem is amazing whether you like donuts, churros, cookies, breads, sodas, cakes, or tamales. Everything is made fresh and amazing!!! Grab a tray and tongs and pick out your stuff!We have been going there for years and it never disappoints! Check it out!The price is great. The quality is amazing. It's everything you look for in a Mexican bakery. It reminds me of the bakeries we'd go to in California.

This is such a wonderful bakery with many, many options of bread and pastries. It is just so fun browsing around, and it was difficult for me to decide what to get. I knew I would only need two pieces or so but I ended up buying 5 items because I wanted to try everything. The only thing that's missing but would help customers a lot IMO is product names and prices. Many items did not have any name or description. The ones with labels, most of them are written in Spanish only. As I only identified few Spanish words like leche, manzana, I just had to guess whether the bread im getting is sweet or savory , what kind of filling etc. once they put descriptions and prices, shopping there will be an even better experience for all customer for sure.

The food is very good, great pricing as well. The one lady didn't speak English so I couldn't find out about pricing or services, but we still got what we needed.

This place was excellent. Great help and beautiful cakes and not to mention delicious. Highly recommend and if you love food, you will love Mama Ines!

Great selection of pan dulce. Grab a silver platter and a pair a thongs and you self select whatever you're craving. Bread is fresh and you can get day old bread at a discount in the wagons. I previously bought tamales here but they lacked meat filling so I don't recommend.

Worth the trip to the Westside. Period. That's all. Now go. Need more reasons? You can choose from cases of fresh baked foods or get in the big wagon near the front door to score "yesterday's bread" at a huge discount. Did I mention the extensive selection of fresh baked goods in cases lining the walls? Breads, cookies, pastries, tres leches cake in the cooler ... and they also have fresh, hot, delicious tamales for around $1 if you arrive in time to snatch them up (red and green chicken and pork and a cheese/jalapeño option). Don't forget to grab a REAL coke or Topo Chico to wash it all down. Pro tip: walk in and use the provided hand sanitizer on the front counter IMMEDIATELY. A lovely staff member will then hand you your silver tray and tongs. Shop the cases, opening the glass and oogling, then take your tray to the register. Items are so reasonably priced and delicious. The hard part is making it home without taking bites of everything in your bag. Now GO!

this place is simply amazing. if you like a good bakery with great pastries, you must add this place to your list!Very unassuming from the outside, it's just a glass door in a strip mall. But once you get in, you're surrounded by dozens of display cabinets full of different pastries. Their pastries even passed the test of my Mexican wife with flying colors!I go to Indy often for work, and I always make sure to stop by Mama Ines.The only note is that most of the staff that I have interacted with speaks mostly/only Spanish, so don't expect to have too many interactions if you only speak English. But that's just another testament of the authenticity of this place!
