After shopping for some groceries nearby, my husband and I saw the El Tricolor Bakery just a few miles from the grocery store. It's a local bakery in Las Vegas. It's known for traditional Mexican baked goods. You'll see freshly made pastries, breads, and specialty desserts each day! Some of the highlights for the bakery include some of their items like the tres leches cake, flan, and the pan dulce These are baked fresh daily! All three of the baked goods had a rich, homestyle flavor which was fantastic! If you're looking for alternatives the bakery does offer savory options such as pupusas! It's great place to stop by and get a wide range of traditional baked goods. This is a family owned local business. We had a chance to talk with a few team members there and get several recommendations of their baked items! It was inexpensive as well! The food is fantastic here and service is great. While seating inside is limited, El Tricolor is very much a pick up and go bakery. Most customers come in to grab pastries by the box, order cakes for special occasions, or pick up treats to enjoy at home or at gatherings. The display cases are usually stocked with colorful conchas, empanadas, and other sweet breads, and the quick service makes it easy to pop in even during busy hours. I highly recommend stopping by this bakery if you're in the area! read more

We saw this place on the news talking about their pan de muerto. Of course, we had to go! It's not too close to us but it was worth the drive! This place is in an older shopping center but their sign is easy to read. Lots of parking, too. Ok, now to the bread!! Their pan de muerto was absolutely delicious! They also sold pupusas and we decided to try some of those, too. They were very good and big! The prices are good, too, cheaper than other places. It's a little hole in the wall place but you can tell their food and bread is made with love. The lady helping was so sweet, too! Can't wait to go back! read more

What a wonderful bakery. I was looking for a cake for my mother in law and she likes flan and cheesecake so when I found out this place has a 4 in 1 cake that has flan, cheesecake, tres leches and chocolate all in one cake, I was ecstatic. Cake was very flavorful and not too sweet. It was perfect. Nice little family owned shop with great service. Highly recommended. They also sell a flan cake and cake by the slice as well. read more

Best tres leches cake and orejas to celebrate my brother's birthday . Let's just say questions on where was this cake and orejas from ?

Twice I've ordered a tres leche cake here by far the best I've ever had both times my guest at my parties have agreed.

Very kind service, and fantastic tres leches. My wife and I had been going to another bakery for years now, but the quality of their food and customer service really took a nosedive. Glad to have found this place instead read more

Bread is always fresh. Their flan is also amazing. If you're going to Las Vegas bakery or any chain groceries for your pan dulce you are missing out. read more

I went to two places and struck out on tamales. I came here and was told they had Salvadoran tamales. I have had them before so I knew what I was getting my self into. Hands down the pork tamale is delicious. It satisfied my craving for tamales. I still have a chicken tamale to have later. I also bought some baked goods including flan. I can't wait to try them later as well. Will be back to try the pupusas next! read more

We were unfamiliar with this bakery as it was a first time visit. Expecting a French bakery but it was Hispanic. Unfamiliar with the baked goods on offer we picked things that looked tasty. Right choices on all accounts! Premises were a little messy and disorganized but the pastries were splendid, and we will go back. read more

Read other reviews of the food quality and selection, so had to visit with my friend who speaks Spanish just in case. I think you would do fine without a Spanish speaker, very friendly staff. Ambiance, well smelled great inside. Pastries were consumed but the children and no complaints. Inexpensive for the quality and quantity in this town- recommend people try. Will do pupusas from here next time to taste their version. read more

We ordered a tres Leche cake for my brother's birthday. He requested this type of cake so I did a seearch for it. My brother said it was incredible! I liked it too but was not as moist as I have had from other places. But still was very good read more

I had been wanting to try their 4-in-1 cake ever since I read about it several months ago. I just finished it and I honestly would go back for another piece if it weren't 20 miles away and 40 minutes before they close. My favorite layer was the tres leches part. It was moist yet had a good texture. I loved that they used whipped cream rather than frosting. This cake essentially combines some of my favorite cakes and it was totally worth it despite my dairy and gluten sensitivities. The lady who helped me didn't speak English and I didn't want to offend her with my awful Spanish. I felt bad about that but I will be better prepared when I go back (I will definitely be a regular customer). I am actually debating on whether or not I can try to make it in time before they close! read more

Friendly service. Good variety. Delicious Pan Dulce. I'm definitely a repeat customer!

Never had a bad experience purchasing pan dulce from here. The bread is dense and delicious unlike other pan dulce found at Mexican stores like Cardenas/Marketon. It is baked fresh every day and you can just tell by the way it smells once you walk in. High recommend the tres leches cakes if you go. Best I've ever tasted. The service was fast and easy, you get to choose from receiving your pan in a bag or container. Love this place a lot and the pan dulce is affordable too. read more

My family and I have been ordering cakes from this place for years. They always come out elegant and they are always so delicious and not too sweet. However, I had an incident recently where my girlfriend was distracted and wasn't paying attention, and since I had placed the cake on the driver seat, she wasn't looking and sat right on the custom cake, (this was 5 minutes before closing). I then rushed into the bakery very panicked seeing if they were able to fix it, they said they were very sorry they couldn't fix it (the damages were too severe); However, they had backup cakes with the same flavor and size too. She looked for the tossed receipt & quickly decorated the cake just as it was originally requested. While the other baker was telling us another similar story of hers while trying to sympathize with the situation. They were very understanding and charged us $40 for the new (non smashed) cake. Thanks to them I came to the party with the birthday cake for the birthday boy, everyone loved the cake. Even my mother who placed the original order who still has yet to know. Their kindness reflects on the taste of the cakes. 5/5! read more

I'm sad I didn't take a picture. I was visiting Vegas and was meeting up with family and decided to stop by and pick up a cake on a whim. I purchased the choco-flan, tres leches, cheesecake cake trio and OMG!! IT WAS DELICIOUS!! EVERYONE loved it! Don't sleep on this little hidden panaderia! read more

I found this little gem while visiting a Thai place someone had recommended to me. Staff was incredibly friendly and helpful. I ended up ordering a cookie, pastry stick and pineapple tres leches cake. The cookie was a bit more cooked than what I usually like but the flavor was there. I loved the tres leches cake though. They have a wide variety of offerings to meet the needs of most people. It was also super affordable. For all the things I ordered, it was $5. I'll definitely return if I'm in the area to try something different at those prices and support local family owned businesses. read more

creo puedén ser mejor en lo hacen, los pasteles son muy simples, el pan algunas veces está quemado, las rebanadas de mantequilla tienen toneladas de azúcar al igual que otros panes, se que es pan dulce, pero exageran en ponerles azúcar. read more

I drove by for months and didn't realize this place was open, because their signage is falling apart and windows are covered by faded food photos. But they are indeed open for business, whether you're in the mood for classic Mexican baked goods, pizza, tacos, custom-made cakes, or burritos. Yeah, the menu is all over the place and I have no idea why. Played it safe with a carne asada torta ($6) and was wowed by the massive size- it filled the entire takeout box! Unfortunately, the bread was soggy with beans so it was falling apart. I was also disappointed that it did not have any avocado. The carne asada was nicely seasoned with good flavor, but oddly chewy and stringy. Came back for a different dish with a different meat, sticking to sopes ($2/ea) and chicken- bland all the way around, from the gummy fried masa shell to the dry and unseasoned chicken. Maybe their baked goods and pizzas fare better, but I don't intend to find out. Note that the staff only speaks spanish, but happily this is NOT a cash-only business as I originally assumed. read more

My wife Sylvia Q. stumbled upon this place when we first came to the desert back in 2004 when we hardly knew our way around town and discovered one of the best Tortas de Carne Asada being served in this little hole-in-the-wall bakery.....BAKERY!?!?!?! Yup this bakery is also a taqueria, pupuseria, and pizza joint all in one! You can get Mexican and Salvadoran style breads and pastries here, as well as pupusas, pizza, tamales, burritos, tortas, tostadas, sopes, quesadillas, pizza, wings, and the list goes on and on.... Fast forward 6 years later, and we happened to be around that side of town, so we go and see if that little bakery is still up and running. Sure enough, they're still in business, so we go in and grab a table and order a couple of Carne Asada tortas. We see that they have Menudo(Tripe) as a special of the day, so we get an order as well. when our order arrives, it is just like it was 6 years ago, Toasted bread made in house everyday served with a very generous piece of carne asada(not chopped up into little pieces like other taquerias) beans , lettuce, tomatoes, and jalapenos. You gotta grab this thing with both hands to get a bite, its the biggest torta in town! Our Menudo is equally tasty, not gamey, and seasoned well, and comes with HANDMADE tortillas-YUM! we also got some pan dulce and a chocoflan to go but they weren't all that. Marianna's is much better. Haven't tried any other savory stuff, but the Torta de Carne Asada is worth coming back for...ALOHA!!! read more

This little bakery was so amazing! It is found next to Smart-N-Final. I was so happy with my cake order. I came in just a few days before I needed their famous 4-in-1 cake. I chose simple decorations (he's a simple man) but they were willing to decorate however I saw fit. I ordered the smallest size (8 in) because it needed to only feed a few people. WOW. It sounds like it would be small, but, it was quite a hefty cake at such an amazing price...$30. There is no way you could find a better deal with all of those amazing flavors! It was the best cake I could get for someone who loves each layer (chocolate raspberry, cheesecake, flan, & tres leches) separately. Everyone was happy and full with this delectably sweet creation! read more

The 4 in 1 cake is heaven! A co-worker brought in this cake to one of our potlucks and I fell in love. It has 4 layers of course......tres leche, chocolate cake, cheesecake, and flan!

My mom has brought me here since i was a child. One of her favorite places to but pan dulce so we decided to order her birthday cake from here.... Well let's just say it's no longer her favorite. We asked if they could make the same cake or at least something similar but this is horrendous. We understand that it's not always going to be exactly like the picture but this is nowhere near what we asked for. I paid $130 for this. This was my gift to my mother for her big party and now i feel as if it's ruined with this small ugly cake... read more

Items Selected: Pastel de Pina Caramelized Puff Pastry Stick Salvadoran Quesadilla Corn Pudding Guava Besos Cherry Turnover Quadruple Cake - Chocolate, Cheesecake, Flan, Tres Leches with Icing A small shop tucked away on North Decatur in an area still not qualified as North Las Vegas, but not too far away, Panaderia Tricolor is a place many have probably driven by a hundred times without even noticing, a family-owned business operating in the same space for so long that the Las Vegas sun has almost completely faded its signage. Listed as El Tricolor Bakery above the door, but as Panaderia Tricolor by a street-side sign and in its limited representation on Social Media and Search Engines, visitors to Tricolor will find the space located towards the back-center of a shopping plaza filled with everything from Check Cashing to Nail Salons and Convenience Stores, a step through the door placing patrons in a small standing space surrounded by baking racks, cold cases and two small tables. Selling both savories and sweets, though the obvious focus is on freshly baked Breads and Pastries in a variety of perhaps four-to-five dozen total, it was with limited English and a lot of pointing that several items were described by a young woman working the front of the house as an older woman labored over dough that appeared to be the base of several dozen Concha, the eventual order comprised of five Pastries and two slices of Cake that were carefully boxed and taken home for consumption. Trying to best cover a wide range of styles, the total price of $9.75 making a little bit of waste acceptable in an attempt to weigh the quality against other Panaderia in town, first tastes of Tricolors goods came by way of the Pastel de Pina and Caramelized Puff Pastry Stick, both quite mild in terms of sweetness with the Pineapple Cake soft and spongy while the nearly weightless rod was crisp and shattering, but probably been better suited for a Sauce or Coffee for dipping. Turning attention next to two savory selections, the Salvadoran Quesadilla a 3/4"-thick frisbee-size disc described as "sort of like cake, but moist and a little sweet" proving to be just that plus a long-linger of Sesame, the 'cornbread' at Tricolor is nothing like what most American's would think when picturing the hot skillets or piping-hot Muffins down South, this version actually a hefty wedge of just-set Custard atop a more granular base, the flavor a bit like cream corn but with a more egginess and Butter. Underwhelmed by a Turnover with good lamination but cloying sweetness thanks to HFCS-based Cherry Pie filling, and even more put-off by a tennis-ball size Guava Besos with good Jam but Dough so chalky and flavorless that it may as well have been a few days stale, it was finally with the "4x Cake" that a taste of Panaderia Tricolor came to an end, the Chocolate Cake and Cheesecake relatively par for the course while smooth Flan and sopping-wet Tres Leches were both about as good as they come in Las Vegas, another visit to try each on their own probably necessary at some point in the near future. **1/2:Discovered as part of what has become a fun attempt to find the best Tres Leches Cake in Sin City, that title still belonging to Drago Sister's on South Rainbow, Panaderia Tricolor has a lot to offer at a good price with excellent customer service, though the quality of several items previously enjoyed elsewhere was unfortunately a little inconsistent. read more

Found this place when I was anxiously looking for some Pan Dulce to take to my son's school. It was a nice surprise. Very nostalgic for me to walk into a Mexican bakery, the sights, the smells...always reminds me of my summers in Mexico when my cousins and I would walk to the bakery to buy some Pan Dulce-it was always fun to find the "best" pastry. Panaderia Tricolor is a tiny place in a strip mall and they offer Salvadorian baked goods and Pupusas as well. I was pleased with the variety of pastries and bought two boxes (25 pastries total) for about $10! Beat that Starbucks! I am anxious to come back and try out more menu items especially since I've been to San Salvador and had some awesome tasting pupusas there. Service was wonderful-she was so patient as I picked out all the pastries. It's a tiny little cozy bakery with only two tables to sit at if you want to order anything off the menu. Variety of pastries was incredible. From conchas (pink, chocolate, vanilla- egg bread-wonderful to dunk in coffee-my personal favorite) to cochinitos (gingerbread pig shaped cookies) and empanadas and galletas (cookies) all fabulous. Authentic! Try it out! read more

Amazing food and service! Breads are fresh and pupusas are fire!!! We are from Los Angeles and been trying to find a bakery similar to the ones we used to go to and am so glad we found this hidden gem. The outside may be deceiving but they definitely know what theyre doing inside. You can taste the home made authenticity in the food. We have no problem driving from South Las vegas to get our fix. Tres Leche, flan, 4 layer cake....all the pan/bread were all amazing! Definitely a must try! read more

I discovered this neighborhood find last night when I wanted to buy some fresh bread (without baking a loaf myself! ) I couldn't believe the wide selection of beautiful cakes, pan dulce, and extraordinary artisan quality Latin American breads, El Salvadoran papusas and even pizza..... Everyone was so friendly and I look forward to starting my day with a fresh, not-too-sweet bread and seeing the neighborhood wake up. I look forward to trying their papusas and pizza. That was a surprise. I am French Italian American but love family owned places. I will be back many times. Their bolillos are the best, biggest and freshest I have ever eaten in my life. Their Palmiers- are delightful. Etc etc.. Paulette L Motzko Food writer and photographer Restaurant Showcase read more
