This is a good Mexican bakery. It is on the smaller side. There is a good size parking lot. When you walk in, you'll see bakery goods on the right, desserts straight ahead, and Mexican bread by the counter. I ordered a dozen tamales. It's about $24. The price has gone up since some of the previous reviews that said it was $16 or $20. I also ordered one chocolate Mexican bread that was a dollar something. The food was good but I'm not a fan of overpricing. I might stop in again to look at the other bakery items. You would put the items on a tray and bring them to the register. I wished they had a wrapper that goes on the tray before putting the items on. You can't tell if the trays have been washed or not. read more

Sorely disappointed. The breakfast pastries had more heavy dough and minimal fruit jam. Donut is tasteless beyond the sprinkled sugar.

I stopped here for the first time yesterday, picked up a few (big) cookies and churros. Everything was good. They will give you a liner/paper for the tray if asked. read more

Ordered a Tres Leches Cake for my Dog's 15th Birthday. They suggested I add peaches and strawberries and it was really good! The churros were a huge hit! read more

I just purchased the jalapeño cream cheese bread roll and it is EXCELLENT! I will for sure be back for more!

After watching a Netflix show on Mexican treats, I had an itch for Mexican baked goodies. I remembered El Dorado since I used to live nearby, although I had never tried it. Since I have some dietary restrictions, I called ahead to ask if they used lard or animal fat. The gentleman explained that they use vegetable oil and margarine. I decided to pop in and check it out. The gentleman was very friendly and further explained the ingredients to me. It's very small inside and no seating, so it's take & go. Aside from baked treats, they do also have drip coffee. The way it works is, you grab a tray and tongs and pick out what you like, then they box it up. I went with a chocolate concha and a rice pudding donut. Both items were delicious! The concha sweet bread was light and fluffy, which was a welcome surprise, as I expected it to be dense. It was only $1.09. The rice pudding donut also had an interesting texture (i.e. crisp exterior) and tasted great. It cost $2.05. Not a huge selection, but if you're looking for a sweet tooth fix and want to try out something different, give El Dorado a shot. read more

My family and I love this bakery. Not only do they have a great selection of freshly baked goods, their tamales are delicious! We've placed orders for tamales twice to share at our Thanksgiving parties and everyone always compliments how great they are. Happy we found this local gem. read more

Great service !! Our churros when ready when expected ! I will be ordering more for our work functions! Gracias !

Their friendly staff would make it worth 5 stars on its own. Love these people. Best bakery food in Naperville. Make sure to try the Mexican bread (jalapeños & cream cheese inside of a fresh roll) for breakfast. read more

Nice people. Excellent service. Tres leche cake was amazing and ready when promised. M Easy to find.

We just tried to find a place for something for breakfast and found this place. I loved any thing with custard filling or cream cheese. I tried the sugar donut with custard filling and it was so good. I was in heaven. Too bad I only got one. I also bought other pastry and they are yummy. If we visit Naperville, we will definitely go back to this place. read more

Fresh baked goods at very reasonable prices. Easy to find with ample parking. They ran out of the Jalapeño and cheese tamales but the chicken/chile verde was very good. read more

I've ordered food here many times over the last year and their tamales were always great! Yesterday, had it delivered and the tamales weren't that good. One of the bakery items had a dead fruit fly stuck to it, so i can only imagine everything was contaminated read more

Excellent tres leches cake as well as sweet potato empenadas. Very traditonal and tasty! I would recommend this bakery to friends and family. read more

This bakery is really hidden gem. Took me a while to finally find some good quality sweet bread. The bread taste delicious and the service is great. I enjoy that that the bread is always fresh and they have a good variety to chose from. I also appreciate the hours they offer. Early morning and late nights for those sweet cravings. read more

My experience was a 10 plus. The staff was so helpful in helping me place my order and coordinating the pick up. The cake was beautiful as well as delicious. Our granddaughter said it was definitely a "real" tres leche cake. I can't say enough good things about this bakery. read more

This is a very friendly Mexican bakery. Since we were unfamiliar with the baked goods, Jamie helped us by describing the various treats (what was inside them (like the nutella filled horn), how they were made, etc). We were only there to get some snacks for a road trip, but things like the chocoflan and tres leches cake will definitely warrant a return visit. The box of goodies we did get were appreciated by all and quite delicious. read more

One of the must visit places to try if you have a sweet tooth.. love pretty much every thing they make.. fresh, reasonably priced and high quality. If you love Tres Leches this place should be in your list. Polite Management. Been few times and will go often in future too! read more

Pregnant lady cravings hit hard this morning. I'm Hispanic and lived in the south side of Chicago my whole life. So ask me about pan dulce aka Mexican bread and I'm your girl! I was super SUPER hesitant on getting conchas in the suburbs because I've tried most tacos and they all have been mediocre in my Opinion. Long behold, I decide to take the drive to El dorado and bought 5 different Mexican pastries. When I tell you those are the BEST conchas I've ever had!!! I'm not lying! I've been to Pilsen bakeries and these Mexican pastries at El dorado are above and beyond! Super soft bread, anything but dry.. all deliciousness. Definitely a hidden GEM! read more

If you're gonna stop by to Los Burritos Tapatios (and you should!), you are also required to come here and get yourself some freaking baked goods!! They seriously have a wide assortment of stuff, some unique, and some familiar. For example, they had a donut filled with RICE PUDDING!!!!! wth, how freaking awesome!!! Ok just go. And get a paleta while you're at it. A cheesecake one. read more

El Dorado to the rescue!! They made a delicious cake for my daughters birthday party in less than 24 hours!! Due to starting a new job a few weeks ago, it slipped my mind to order my daughters cake. Almost every place I called requires 48 hours notice for a custom cake. El Dorado is literally right by my house with great reviews so I thought I would give them a try. The manager came to my rescue, so nice, & baked the cake I needed- even with Rapunzel on top. Everyone @ the party loved it, it was excellent. Thank you for being so accommodating & helping this busy mamma out. You have a customer for life read more

El Dorado Bakery - Conchas, guo de buey, croissant, apple turnover, doughnuts - about $1.00/each. - Bakeries Near Me - Lisle, Illinois

It's refreshing to visit a new startup company with so much desire to please their customers. With it being my first visit owner Jamie was very polite, patient and willing to offer up free samples. I ended up buying a bag full to share. They do custom batches of unique authentic Mexican pastries throughout the day. When you visit, just grab a tray, a pair of tongs and make your way around the display cases, snatching up deliciousness. I'm already craving a return visit. I definitely want to check out the muffins. The fruit is sliced fresh to order and with the Mexican spices atop, it is a new all-time favorite. I just wish they were about 5 minutes closer. They also have tamales and make coffee fresh to order too. read more

This little, family-run bakery is a treasure trove of goodness. Since this place opened just a few weeks ago, I've been here three times. What is my favorite thing at El Dorado? Why, their fruit cup of course! Seriously, if you are at all like me, when it's hot outside, don'tcha just want some nice, fresh, cold and tasty fruit? I do. And El Dorado has the best fruit cup - fruit bowl actually - I've ever had. They chop the fruit fresh, so it takes a few minutes. But it is sooooo worth it. They load up a 16-ounce container with pineapple, mango, seedless watermelon, cantaloupe and even cucumber when they have it. Then they will either a) serve it like that; b) sprinkle some kind of spicy powder on it or c) sprinkle some other seasoning on it that is even more spicy. I've gone with Option B both times, and it transforms the fruit. The little spicy seasoning makes the fruit pop and also makes the flavors more intense. Plus, the seasoning counter-balances the sweetness of the fruit. I literally cannot stop eating the fruit bowl. And get this: The price for this little gem is a whopping $3.50. You simply cannot beat that deal. Anytime, anywhere, any place. In addition to this fruit bowl, El Dorado makes homemade tamales and other stuff. I haven't had those items yet. What I have had, however, is this sweetened sesame bread roll-up thing stuffed with cream cheese and fresh jalapeños and served warm. It's outrageously good. It was made moments before I wandered into the shop. I asked the owner what was good right now, and he pointed me in that direction. He is a wise, wise man. The mixture of cream cheese with the jalapeños in the savory bread was unlike anything I've ever had. I've also had this item called a Bolillos (I think). It's a light, fluffy bread kind of pastry with a sweet topping just perfect for dunking into coffee. It costs all of 99 cents. So for less than 5 bucks, I had fresh fruit and a bakery item. Easily enough to feed two people. As good as the food is, the people that run the place are so nice. And helpful. Being a gringo, I don't know my Mexican baked goods. But they helped me make good choices and so far, I have nothing but love for these guys. I urge you to check them out. They are open from 7 AM - 9 PM daily and are right next to Los Burritos Tapatios. And when you go, get the fruit cup. You will thank me for it with every delicious bite you take. Also, they make custom birthday cakes or cakes for all occasions. The owner showed me the cake he made for his four-year-old daughter. You can see that cake, and some other baked goods and the fruit bowl, in my pictures. read more

Fresh and tasty mexican bakery-Next to Los Tapatios which is our go to for chile relleno burritos. Tuesdays is 2 for a buck cookies- i got a molasses and a elephant ear. Both are huge. Based on the other reviews I got the cream cheese jalapeño stuffed roll- super good and spicy. You take a tray and self serve from the large sliding window displays. Also got the fresh fruit with chile seasoning- very good. Coming back later for the elote. read more

We read all the reviews and were pleased to find this little place on the east side of Naperville. My girls and I chose some conchas and concha muffins and other bakery items and they were delicious. The owner's daughter Adriana was at the counter and she was lovely. We didn't try the fruit everyone mentions but we will next time. So tasty and we are excited to have found such an authentic Mexican bakery close to home. We will be back! read more

AMAZING place, the doughnuts and sweet treats are to die for. Best Mexican Bakery if you want truly authentic Mexican bread. The people who work there are beyond nice and even sometimes give you free samples. AMAZING place the fruit is so fresh and taste so good read more

I randomly came across this place on Yelp, read the reviews and went there the next day. Incredible pastries, tres leches cake AND fresh tamales. The magic fruit previously referenced is indeed magic. Very reasonably priced and super friendly staff. I will be back very soon! read more

Definitely worth checking out! Staff is very friendly and helpful, and the selection was fresh- literally hot treats were being brought out and made while we were there in the middle of the afternoon. The treats were delicious! Doughnuts were soft and sugary while the croissants were flakey and buttery. They also have home made popsicles with a bunch of different fruity flavors, with or without spices added. read more

Great tasting Tamales and Churros! This was such a great find and the staff is very friendly and attentive. My only request would be for the bakery to add more of their available items onto GrubHub (Churros, empanadas, etc) so more people can enjoy the food read more

We are big fans! You are sure to find some of the best "pan dulce" in the burbs. Everything is fresh and the people that work there are super nice and friendly! You won't be disappointed! My daughter loves the Rainbow cookies! read more

This is the first time that I used El Dorado Bakery. I wanted a birthday cake. I went to the bakery and ordered the cake one week in advance. I specified exactly what I wanted. When I went to pick up the cake a week later after I ordered it, the cake was not decorated and no "Happy Birthday" They had me wait almost an hour to put the decoration. They messed it up and the Happy Birthday was barely visible. I was not happy with the presentation of the cake, but it was too late to get another one, so I had to take it. The cake tasted OK, nothing extraordinary. I will not be using El Dorado Bakery for the next time I need a cake. read more

Stopped-in for the first time today. The staff is welcoming, the pastries are fresh and tasty, and the tamales are incredible! I-n-c-r-e-d-i-b-l-e. Drop what you're doing and go now. They're that good! read more

A gem of a little bakery with the best folks running it. Consistent in producing fresh, simple and great tasting baked goods. I highly recommend it read more

I love this family-owned neighborhood Mexican bakery! Andrea at the cash register is such a warm and friendly lady. She offered me a sample slice of their corn pie and it was so delicious and not too sweet at all. I ended up getting a few slices of that, plus some sugar donuts which I thoroughly enjoyed. read more

Located next to burritos tapatillos so you can kill 2 birds with one stone. They have 2 types of conchas, one is less dry. These are a little more dense than most- still very delicious. There were some very good chocolate cupcakes when we were there. The best part of this place is its always growing. There was a freezer of paletas in every imaginable flavor last time I was in. Try all 3 types of tamales all very good. read more

This place is uhhhhhh-mazing. Blink and you'll miss it tucked into a tiny storefront on Ogden Ave in Lisle, just east of Naperville Rd, right next to Los Burritos Tapatios. First off, the fruit bowls. My god, the fruit bowls. Have I mentioned the fruit bowls? The cut the fruit fresh when you order it, and finish it off with this magic dust (really just a simple combo of lime, chili powder, and a dash of salt I believe) that makes it absolutely explode with flavor. Every time I've had it the fruit is amazingly fresh and ripe. For $3.50, the big serving is an absolute steal and I am 100% serious when I say it's worth double that amount. This past weekend I stopped in and asked for 5 of them to bring over to a friend's new home where we had a group of people helping them move in. After checking to make sure they had enough fresh fruit on hand to accommodate, they asked if I'd like them to make it all together in one big serving for the group, which was perfect. It was an absolute hit, people could not stop eating it and talking about how amazing it was. Now onto the baked goods, INCREDIBLE! They always have a wide variety of freshly made donuts, pastries, breads, etc... and I've yet to try one that wasn't delicious. I brought about 2 dozed assorted items to the aforementioned moving party and people attacked them like rabid dogs fighting over a hunk of raw meat. Pan dulces, pineapple empanadas, apple turnovers, sugar and chocolate donuts, some kind of cream filled miracle that the friendly and helpful girl in the shop told me were just called 'cones,' every item was spectacular. I fully intend to order a tres leches cake for our next family gathering, as every time I've been in there are a couple of absolutely drool-worthy ones sitting in the case. They also have a BUNCH of items I haven't been able to try yet - homemade ice cream and popsicles, fresh tamales and elotes (corn cups) daily... This place the the absolutely definition of 'hidden gem,' and the staff could not be friendlier or more helpful. Give them your business, you'll be glad you did. read more

Can't say enough good things about this place! Try the cream cheese and jalapeño stuffed bread and the cheese and jalapeño tamales are to die for. Fruit super fresh and Mexican hot chocolate is yummy! Super nice family too! One more tip. Try the cinnamon sugar donuts. Incredible! read more

Awesome sweet Mexican bread, puddings n fruit ice pops. Yummy
