Elvira's Cakes

We usually dine in or have quick stops for pan dulce (sweet bread), but today I placed an order through Yelp! The food was being prepared as I was arriving, Mary was attentive as I entered and said she was working on my order. The gorditas are fulfilling and delicious. In the past, we've had their Tres Leches cakes, gelatina on the cup, frozen treats, elote and tortas-- all very well served and yummy. Great service each time.

Yesterday was the 2nd time in the past couple of months that I have bought cakes at Elvira's for wedding celebrations of coworkers at my office. On both occasions I have received rave reviews from the staff of 15 and have even been told "this is the best cake I've ever had". Today's double layer Mocha Tres Leche was sublime with it's dense spongy interior, creamy frosting and fruit decoration. For $40 we fed 15 and the bride had plenty to take home to share with family and friends. A bargain in my book, and certainly not something that I could create at home.While I was there , I also had lunch. The barbacoa quesadilla was also a bargain for $6. A hot off the grill cheesy and meaty mess - and I mean mess in a good way! Lots of marinated beef chunks cooked in seasonings that took the quesadilla to a whole other dimension. With Thanksgiving week on us, I wanna give thanks to Elvira's for always making me look good at work with your amazing bakery and giving us those amazing and traditional Mexican taqueria style dishes from your kitchen.

So this was the first time that I've ever tried Tres leches as a cake. The flavor of the cake was amazing. My brother got me the mocha Tres leches cake as a birthday gift. And again the flavor was great but the cake itself was a weird texture that I did not enjoy. In my mind I thought that the trace leches liquid would go into a moist dense cake and it just went into a dry cake so it was leaking all over the bottom. I will say that I shared it with my coworkers and they all absolutely loved it so it could also be my experience or lack of experience with Tres leches.

Ordered a large Tres Leches cake and was pleased with it overall. Flavor was good. It had options for a filling with a few flavors to choose from. I prefer no filling but it didn't provide an option on their website when ordering to opt out. I chose a fruit filling and it wasn't overpowering. Cake was moist from the milks and the frosting was tasty. Ordering process was painless other than not being able to pass on a filling. Great spot to indulge in tres leches among other goodies. I will be returning to try some of their other offerings.

Tres LEches for THE WIN I love the Mocha Flavor. The snacks here are also good and I love the frosting work in the gelatin. They have a great selection pastries and snacks.

We stopped here today for Mexican bread. They had a large selection and it all looked yummy. We got a few pieces and they were very good. We'll be back.

I love stoping in for lunch when time permits. Food is good, and plenty of options to choose from.

The most delicious cake in Kansas City.!! Professional Services and responsible.! I bought a cake from there before and I will continue.! Customers have the options to choose his and what they want in.!! Love it.!

It's like a bakery combine with a restaurant inside. Who knew?! I love coming here to tried out something new. I had their tres leche cake and their pastries. I like how their sweets are not to sweet like the average American Bakeries. I decided to try their food last night and had their gorditas, elotes, and their tamales. It's all so delicious and their season of their food was spicy yet not too overpowering. They make their food right there so you know it's very authentic.It's very hard to understand the cook/clerk if you don't speak or know spanish well. So brush up on your Spanish skills a little bit and they will be very much helpful to let get what you want. Definitely will go back.

Siempre nos gusta ordenar comida de Elviras's Cake pero el servicio es malísimo. Estuvimos parados esperando como 5 minutos para ordenar unas gorditas y nadie nos tomó la orden y no había nadie más esperando por otra orden tuvimos que decir que queríamos tres gorditas y ni así la mujer Cubana que estaba ahí en ese momento nos ignoró.Después pedimos tamales y los pagamos con Sheila y le preguntamos que si no tenían gorditas y ella no dijo nada. Pésimo servicio.
