La Estrella Panaderia

Don't let the exterior fool you--this place is a gem. It's a true panadería, carnicería, and a go-to spot for comida preparada (takeout food). I'm here pretty much every weekend, and for good reason.The panadería is top-tier. My mom swears by their bolillo, and they make racks and racks of it fresh. Their cakes are beautifully traditional, not over-the-top, just classic flavors done right--and the prices? Spot on. I've had my eye on the cajeta cake for a while now. One of my personal favorites? Orejas. They make them perfectly crispy and buttery every time.Their carnicería is worth checking out too. I've had their fresh chorizo, and it's delicious. Their chicharrón? Also really good. And their burritos? Always a solid choice. But honestly, they can make you almost anything.The ladies behind the counter are friendly, but keep in mind--this is a real Mexican market. If you don't speak Spanish, have an idea of what you want so you don't hold up the line. If you're unsure, just let others go ahead of you.If you want authentic Mexican pan dulce, fresh bolillo, quality meats, and homestyle takeout food, this is the spot.

La Estrella Panderia is my number one spot for pan dulce. All the sweet breads you can think they have!From Conchas (the pink my favorite), fruit filled empanadas, puerguitos, custard turnovers, pineapple cake, palmeritas. donuts, and other types of cakes. Your sweet tooth will be loving it! If you are not fluent in Spanish it might be intimidating to order, but the ladies are so friendly and pointing always works outs. I've never had a bad service experience and always walk out with items I've wanted.A friend also has told me in the back they have fresh warm tortillas I will have to try those out soon! If looking for a penaderia, go give La Estrella a try!

Fresh ingredients and a large variety of treats for the family! I recommend this establishment to anyone who's looking for the best Panaderia in the 520!

This place has it all! They have the pan dulce, they have delicious pollo rostisado, and the best carne asada. Whether you get bread from the bakery or a burrito, they will not let you down. Definitely recommend!

Always the best pan Dulce in all of Phoenix!! I find something new Everytime! A must stop if you haven't already!

Came here today to see what desserts and food they have. In the back area of the store, there is a hot food area including very large chicarons. Huge. Everything looked great. I was tempted to get a whole fried fish as well, they're my favorite. The refrigerated desserts looked tempting but I ended up getting a variety of sweet bakery desserts instead. There are so many choices to choose from and everything looked amazing. I ended up getting desserts filled with cheese, apple, pumpkin, cream, and chorizo. Everything was divine. I will definitely be back to get more desserts soon.

Great selection of fresh baked pastries, cookies and breads. The store, the staff & the stuff are all authentically Mexican.

The pan dulce is the best I've had in AZ. My family also lo Es it and it's the o ly place we get our pan dulce from

The food is great!The ambience is cozy!The service (the check out girl) bad attitude!.. this brings me to not want to go back.

I came here at the recommendation of a co-worker in order to try "the best donuts ever". There are like 5-6 pastry cases and the selection at 5pm was still wonderful. There was a bit of a language barrier, but that added to the fun, honestly. I said I wanted 9 items and I was prepared to point to the items that looked appealing to me, but the employee just started loading up the tray and that was fine by me! Everything she selected was awesome and I will definitely be back.
