La Mexicana Bakery (South 1st)












Viva Mexico! I love the character of this panaderia (bakery). The white exterior is lined with arches similar to aquaducts in Spain. They use the traditional Mexican colors red, white and green to splash the exterior with color. The interior is brightened with a colorful mural. The TV is always playing on a Spanish station. This is a true bakery and they offer everything from wedding cakes to cookies. My #1 favorite is the tres leches (three milks) cake. They've perfected their take on this classic right down to the container. Each serving comes in a plastic bowl that contains all the wonderful, heavenly juiciness of love...um, cake. La Mexicana offers cheap breakfast tacos too. And I'm pretty sure they're open 24/7. Order the tres leches. It's soooo good!
