Panadería Nuevo Leon

Panaderia paradise is what this place is. If I weren't so happy with them, I would be angry that they've set the bar for panaderías so high that now I would pass on ones that are closer to me just to make the trip here. For me this really is worth going out of my way for. My go to has been rebanada de mantequilla, buñuelos and of course churros, exceptionally good churros. How good? Well, I had one cold the next day and it was still crispy and delicious, so I can only imagine how good it would be to get this fresh at the bakery, or if I were less lazy and gluttonous and heated it back up in the oven myself. The place itself is very clean and everyone working there was quite friendly and polite. Not surprisingly it gets a little bit busy in this small place, but it is worth it to sample the dizzying array of baked goods here. Fantastic panaderia and I am both happy and sad they are not right next door to me, because if they were, I would be here all the time.

Hello, I really wanted to see what all the hype is about. I love supporting small businesses! I walk by every day and I would see several non Latinos waiting for bread. I thought the place would have been delicious. However, I came to find out that they are only there for the vegan bread. I was not impressed by the service nor the pastry. I kindly asked for a plastic box container that I was more than happy to purchase. (Nothing is free in life)The cashier that was helping simply asked if I could buy it ,and her boss was rude to her for simply asking. I could see her body slightly curl with fear. The cashier didn't do anything wrong. The boss called the owner and I could hear her over the phone denying the sale of a plastic container for the "fake concha muffins" (6) with an attitude! How can you speak to your employees in such manner. I could see where the culture is in that shop. It's a shame that many fellow Latinos forget where they once stood before becoming business owners and they try to belittle their Latino staff members!I will not give another penny to business owners like that. Treat your staff well. Maybe next time they won't tell me your flavored flour tortillas are gross and to not purchase them.Don't support crappy owners. I will never return.I wish this would have been a positive review.

Stop by to try their concha's with ice cream. We walked in and first thing I didn't like was the bread glass containers door where all half way opened or no door at all. I didn't see any bugs inside them but we got lucky the had just finished bring out four fresh concha's from the back. Two of the concha's were made with chocolate ice cream and chocolate syrup and coco puffs. It looked good but the concha bread was soft but dry. We got a white and chocolate choncha to go. I cut the white one in half and saw the dough was brown inside and the chocolate one was white. I had the chocolate concha and it was okay nothing to stand out. The white concha tasted weird so didn't eat it.

Amazing bakery. I bought too much and everything was great. Super bonus points for having Vegan items! Staff was nice, cute little place.

Excellent Mexican pastries. These are the real deal. Only in San Francisco have I had Mexican pastries this good! Just wonderful!

Amazing bakery with really good homemade tortillas. You may get lucky if they have Posole! Order it!

Stop by this Spanish speaking bakery in Pilsen. No particular reason I wanted something sweet. The pastries in the window looked appealing, so I stopped in. A friend of mine who knows a little something about pastries (parents owned a donut shop), and had been here before recommended it. I was not disappointed, the bread pudding was good and the strawberry filling cake was really, really good. It taste like one of those little Debbie strawberry shortcakes but bigger, better, and it was incredibly moist. Now the moistnest and freshness of the pastries overall is what really stood out to me. The few Mexican bakeries I've been to in the past seemed dry or there food had been there all day. But this place was different. They have all the pastries in "display cases". You get a medium to large metal tray and tongs and you slide the cases open put them on your tray and go checkout. Lots of different options, churros, flan, chocolate chip cookies, the list goes on. Must visit!!!

Tried a few conchas and quite enjoyed the unique texture. The sweet topping is the star. Fun and great to try. I preferred regular, and my wife preferred chocolate. AMAZING pricing at $2.80 for two conchas, and they accept credit card.FYI - the shopkeeper when I was there spoke limited English

A longtime business in Pilsen is this classic Hispanic bakery with many sweet breads and cookies. It has a lot to choose from. Panaderia Nuevo León offers tons of good stuff. Literally dozens of different pastries all made daily. They even have a humongous vegan selection of classic sweets. For me this is a must stop when around here. It has among the best vegan selection in a bakery anywhere and there's quite a lot. The prices are great too. Get everything from cookies, doughnuts, and full cakes as well. Amazing they have so much packed into here. They have everything ready for you to come in, pick out what you want, and place it on a tray. Among the vegan choices are conchas. It's about $1.65 each. These are kind of like cookies or doughnuts, fluffy and sweet. Also they have vegan cupcakes. It's about $3 each. These are humongous. Also you can order a whole cake. They apparently can make a vegan one but call ahead to place an order. Get a lot for not a lot. It's important to get there as early as possible. They often run out of many things.

Service still the same straight forward. I just wanted to update that this flavor of tres leches is disgusting! The "chocolate" does not taste like chocolate at all. It tastes like a very thick paste. No chocolate flavor at all. Would not recommend this flavor Tres Leches at all.
