    I'm not sure if I don't know the right stuff to get or I'm just not the target customer, but I thought the pan dulche was a bit dry. It's an awesome experience being there and looking at everything, but the actual part of eating the bread was whatevers.

    Was super excited to check that place out. A lot of choices but expensive and the flavor is lacking. Price of their cookies was similar to what I can get in Mexican store in San Diego.

    Love, love, love the smell of fresh Mexican panaderías. This place is a staple in Tecate and now I understand why. They have so many types of pan dulce, I was a bit overwhelmed having to narrow my choices....there are Racks and aisles full of them! You will definitely get more than one bread. If you're heading to la ruta del vino, this is a great pit stop. They also have a large parking lot in the back.

    The best bread in Tecate! (so the sign says). This place has pretty good sweet Mexican bread if you're ever in the area and want to take back some snacks for the ride home! All the bread appears fresh and if you choose right you can get sweet crunchy bread from the Mexico. Brought some back on my rides from Mexico and we all enjoyed it during the week.

    Yeah, more cookies & muffins

    If you like pan dulce or fresh baked bread or cakes or pies or cookies, this is the place you want to stop at. Hundreds of scrumptious options. Everything we've tried has been absolutely delicious. Fresh & high quality. Quite economical. We typically buy a decent large sized bag of yummy treats & spend less than $20 US. There is always a line, but it moves quickly thanks to the barrage of registers to help customers check out. The racks of pan dulce are literally taller than I am. (I'm 5' 5"!) As you enter the shop, grab a tray (or two), tongs & wander the aisles selecting delectable delights from the stacks & stacks of goodies available daily. Breads offered include uncut loaves, tortillas, buns, rolls, bolillo, torta, French & Greek bread & much, much more. Ample parking in the lot out back. Easy to find location just across the border.

    The innovative approach begins with the super cool entrance.

These folks are innovating out on the bleeding edge of using those ingredients you've never heard of to make a drink that you'll never forget. And to top it all off, we had some of the best, most friendly and informative service I've ever had at a speakeasy. This place rocks.

    For our first and only visit, my husband and I were looking forward to trying this local spot. We…read moreput the kids at the gym who hosts a "kids night out" so us parents could enjoy some alone time. We made a reservation and although we arrived on time, we had to wait about 10 minutes to be seated. I agree with some of the other commenters when they say that the revolving fireplace needs some love. It has the look and feel of needing to be updated. Also, for it to be a "speakeasy" vibe, you could hear the loudness of the bar through the walls. It just kind of ruins the facade a little bit. Regardless, we enjoyed the novelty of being slowly admitted to the speakeasy on the opposite side. We were given seats and upon first glance it was a dark lit space with an old fashioned aesthetic. I was surprised to see how casual everyone was dressed- I assumed there was a dress code, but I guess flip flops made the cut ‍. It took a few minutes for our server to attend to us, and when he did you could tell he was slammed. We just didn't get the table side manner one was hoping for an establishment like this. Peeking at their drink menu, I found myself disappointed that much of their options had a lot of sweet or fruit juice ingredients. So, I went for their old fashioned. For the price, it was just okay. Another disappointing moment. In all, it wasn't terrible, but it just isn't worth the hype. Overpriced and mediocre drinks and a seemingly overworked staff didn't make for a memorable experience and ended up not being for us. Glad to have tried it...but look elsewhere if you've actually been to a speakeasy. This just doesn't live up to what it's trying to sell you.
