A wonderful local stop. High quality bakery and some of the best Mexican food ever. Burritos are incredible and everything else I've tried is on point.Great place to pick u Hispanic staples and candies. Offers international calling service and custom cakes and pinatas. One of the only places I know to get nice dried green and red chili's.

Unfortunately, dropping the rating down... The last couple times have been disappointing. They have messed up the to-go order, and the amount of Mexican rice included is just comical. Literally, 3 tablespoons. Also, the rice used to have corn and a lot of flavor.The desserts are still really good... If I go back, I'll probably stick with the sweets.

We sometimes stop down here after the Peoria Farmer's Market or if we're in town. Though we haven't tried eating in as of this review, their bakery is always a hit in our family when we grab things to go. Their customer service is stellar, and they're always willing to go above and beyond to help you out.

Review Date: June 27th, 2013The place for Mexican baked goods in Peoria.Laura and Matt told me about this little bakery in Peoria that I had to check out. So, doing what I do, I told them to meet me there the next chance we go. We grabbed Tim along the way and headed there for some baked goodies.I will admit that I had no idea what the place was when I was told about it. All I heard was a Mexican bakery I need to check out. I didn’t know what to expect but what we experienced was definitely not what I imagined. Most bakeries, when you think of them, are those glass display cases loaded up with tons of bakery items. Breads, cookies, rolls, etc. When we stepped in Panaderia, it was all that and then some. They had the display cases full of stuff but they also had these metal rack holders with racks of baked goods on them. Whether there were for public purchase or they there using the main part of the building as a cooling off area, I don’t know. But the smells were overwhelming, in a good way. The place smelled heavenly, even if I wasn’t sure what I was smelling.We moved over to the display cases and started to pick out a few things. Some of the things were easy to figure out while a few of the things required us to ask the cashier what they were. He was more than willing to help us pick out our snacks. We all picked out a handful of goodies and headed out. I didn’t realize until after we left that they sold pizza as well. That seems odd at first but if you think about it, it does make some sense. Do you not bake a pizza? Don’t bakeries bake things? Just put 2 and 2 together and you have a winning combo.As we walked to the car, we snacked on the goodies. I tried to stick to the safe stuff that I knew I would like but I did get a few unknown things as well. It turned out, even the safe bet food took me by surprise. A chocolate chip cookie is a chocolate chip cookie but you add cooking methods used by different ethnic groups and you can find some nuances in how the final cookie tastes. Panaderia is just that. Offering you things that you are familiar or unfamiliar with but adding a bit of Mexican-style of baking to it. My treats were delicious and I have been wanting to go back to get more and to try their pizza out.
