El Bolillo Bakery

A true Houstonian knows this is the best panadería in H-Town. If you are looking for authentic sweet bread and Mexican pastries, you will delight in all of the wonderful selections (as well as seasonal items, coffee, tortillas, and more). They are extremely affordable which makes this place a true gem. Be prepared for a packed house especially during the holidays (or during a cold rainy night ☺️). I pray they are around for as long as I live so my future children (and hopefully future grandchildren) can share memories together at El Bolillo.

I love stopping by the bakery and grabbing a few items to snack on for the day. I love the churros, they have plain and caramel filled churros. The cream cheese empanadas are also soo delicious. The most recent visit, I tried a tres leches from the display and it was a decent slice for $3 which is so much more affordable than Ideal Market or other places that'll charge $5 or more. Everything is worth trying out at least once for sure. I'll definitely be coming back to try different baked goodies.

It's definitely a place to grab delicious pan dulce "sweet bread." The aroma is so exquisite as soon as you hop off your vehicle. And when you open the door, a blast of sweet joy hits you straight in the face. Mouth watering goodness on every wall! They have all kinds of bread there. From regular conchas and marranitos. To bolillos and some others that I didn't even know of. Of course, corn tortillas, as well as flour tortillas. They also make special order cake for quinceañeras, weddings, anniversary, etc. If you haven't come on over, you won't know what you've been missing out!

El Bolillo is the only bakery I need in my life. In fact, I did one of my final projects for my spanish class in college about the greatness of Kirk Michaels and his beautiful El Bolillo. Living as far as I do from it, though it is a treat to come here and enjoy in the fresh baked goodness. I love everything I buy here (there aren’t a ton of labels to tell you what the baked item is called or its ingredients, just fyi) and the prices are unbeatable. When I know I’m going to have a big family gathering I try to make it out here to stock up on all the sweet breads and cookies and THEIR TRES LECHES!!!! All my homies love El Bolillo.
