This is one of my favorite panaderias in the valley. They are kind and always have a large assortment of pan dulce and a super affordable price. They also have beautiful cakes that are perfect for a birthday or any special occasion. Parking area is small but people go in and out quickly so if you don't find a spot just be patient! Service is friendly and I am always glad to come in. Gracias La Estrella! read more

La Estrella Panaderia - Pan dulce - Bakeries Near Me - Mesa, Arizona

I took my gf here and we both loved it. Each pan costs $2.09 and the flan costs $3.98. We picked up three pan and 2 flans and all of it was so delicious. You kinda have to ask to see what each pastry is because there isn't any labels, but the staff are all super nice. They make their pan fresh daily. It is convenient how they also take card. FYI, there is some street construction happening outside the store, so depending on which direction you're coming from, it may be difficult to get in. We enjoyed our pan and our sweet tooth craving was satisfied! read more

We went on a sunday afternoon and this place was packed! This panaderia was soo good. They make their baked goods fresh daily. You can see them making it there and then as well. I was so surprised with how soft and fresh each of the pastries are. There is literally so many variety of breads too. I tried one of their flans and I liked how it wasn't overly sweet. We got one of the sprinkle sugar circular donut and it reminded me of a churro. The conchas were also so good too. Everything was so yummy and it's kind of dangerous how close this panaderia is by us haha. We got 4 pastries and a flan for $12 - all for a reasonable price. I also love how all of the staff were super kind. Towards the back of the store is where they sell meat and ready to eat hot foods. They also take card which is convenient. read more

Don't let the exterior fool you--this place is a gem. It's a true panadería, carnicería, and a go-to spot for comida preparada (takeout food). I'm here pretty much every weekend, and for good reason. The panadería is top-tier. My mom swears by their bolillo, and they make racks and racks of it fresh. Their cakes are beautifully traditional, not over-the-top, just classic flavors done right--and the prices? Spot on. I've had my eye on the cajeta cake for a while now. One of my personal favorites? Orejas. They make them perfectly crispy and buttery every time. Their carnicería is worth checking out too. I've had their fresh chorizo, and it's delicious. Their chicharrón? Also really good. And their burritos? Always a solid choice. But honestly, they can make you almost anything. The ladies behind the counter are friendly, but keep in mind--this is a real Mexican market. If you don't speak Spanish, have an idea of what you want so you don't hold up the line. If you're unsure, just let others go ahead of you. If you want authentic Mexican pan dulce, fresh bolillo, quality meats, and homestyle takeout food, this is the spot. read more

I visited this place because of the reviews of "pan Dulce." Yes, This place has a variety of pan dulce. However, in my opinion all the bread seems to have been made from the same batter!! Consist of a yellow tinted batter with the same flavor across several verities, and not the greatest flavor or their lack of. Now if you try it hot and fresh any baked good will be delicious! But the next day it's hard and dry. Personally the only real good bread here are the empanadas and the filled bolillos. All other bread is just eh! Now, for tasty pan dulce try panaderia los jarochos in Phx. The conchitas here will last you days soft and moist. Granted, They have limited selection BUT I think that's why the quality is better. read more

The smell right through the front door is amazing ! I sadly could not speak Spanish very well or I'd likely buy out the whole place . One after another yummy treats. The cakes looked really tasty. I was given the advice of a guy while buying concha's at Food city. I'd never even thought to stop in a place like this and it was such a happy accident he told me. I will be back for more . I never even made it back to the deli section which looked really tasty read more

Today as I was walking in I was looking down next to there beverage area and I see a roach crawling on the ground .. I just walk back out

La Estrella Panderia is my number one spot for pan dulce. All the sweet breads you can think they have! From Conchas (the pink my favorite), fruit filled empanadas, puerguitos, custard turnovers, pineapple cake, palmeritas. donuts, and other types of cakes. Your sweet tooth will be loving it! If you are not fluent in Spanish it might be intimidating to order, but the ladies are so friendly and pointing always works outs. I've never had a bad service experience and always walk out with items I've wanted. A friend also has told me in the back they have fresh warm tortillas I will have to try those out soon! If looking for a penaderia, go give La Estrella a try! read more

La Estrella Panaderia - Mangojado wow - Bakeries Near Me - Mesa, Arizona

Came here today to see what desserts and food they have. In the back area of the store, there is a hot food area including very large chicarons. Huge. Everything looked great. I was tempted to get a whole fried fish as well, they're my favorite. The refrigerated desserts looked tempting but I ended up getting a variety of sweet bakery desserts instead. There are so many choices to choose from and everything looked amazing. I ended up getting desserts filled with cheese, apple, pumpkin, cream, and chorizo. Everything was divine. I will definitely be back to get more desserts soon. read more

Authentic panaderia in a shop that also sell convenience store items. Also has a carneceria in the back it seems. Limited English when ordering bread so I suggest just picking and choosing what looks good or bring a friend that speaks Spanish. I asked what pastries had apple inside and the woman directed me to their empanadas which was delicious. Also had to get my standard concha which unfortunately was a bit drier than what I've had at other panaderias. Got a slice of flan as well but was a bit too sweet for me. Otherwise a very legit and decent panaderia! read more

I came here looking for pastries for dessert and I did a Yelp search to find La Estrella. The parking was tough and I was able to secure the last spot on a side street. So could be a good sign ... popular. I go in and the bakery section is on the right with cash and carry right in the middle of the store. The pastries are fresh and flaky and plentiful. The counter server tolerated my basic Spanish and I ordered several kinds, pineapple and then a few cream turnovers. So many to choose ! You pay over at the counter which separates hands on money vs hands on food, which was good. The pastries were flaky and sweet and delicious . I will be back! There was a very good reason for the place to be packed ... great pastries . read more

The pan dulce is the best I've had in AZ. My family also lo Es it and it's the o ly place we get our pan dulce from

Great selection of fresh baked pastries, cookies and breads. The store, the staff & the stuff are all authentically Mexican.

This place reminds me of all the hispanic bakeries in TX! Endless choices, hole in the wall, long lines, great prices. I wasn't a fan of the cream horn but the tres leches was on point. Delicious and a slice only costs $3.99. read more

I came here at the recommendation of a co-worker in order to try "the best donuts ever". There are like 5-6 pastry cases and the selection at 5pm was still wonderful. There was a bit of a language barrier, but that added to the fun, honestly. I said I wanted 9 items and I was prepared to point to the items that looked appealing to me, but the employee just started loading up the tray and that was fine by me! Everything she selected was awesome and I will definitely be back. read more

Everything is delicious the food and pastries especially a pastry that is made with queso fresco omg to die for ...

Really delicious tamales and the Mexican sweet bread is off the hook. Their donuts are amazing. Overall is remarkable.

All the bakery items are fresh and delicious! Parking is difficult but worth the trip

Really great pan dulce! Great customer service especially from the lady at the bakery side, she was really sweet and helpful. The pan was delicious and not expensive at all read more

I love the donuts. Actually, everything here is very fresh and it has really good flavor

Excellent food & customer service. Quality ingredients, burrito and the bakery was the best!!

Fantastic Mexican grocery and carneceria with an insane selection of pastries made in-house. There are so many options, they're all very simple but really good. And you can't beat the prices, every item is about 99¢ to $1.49... all the pastries we've tried have been great, but my favorite is the donut with sprinkled sugar on it, it's soft and chewy and tastes like a cross between a funnel cake and a churro. read more

It's so much more than a basic panadería. There's an entire kitchen in the back where they make things like menudo, tamales, and even jalapeño poppers! The jalapeño poppers were the best. They were packed with cream cheese and shrimp. The ladies were super nice and loved helping us. read more

The bread is extremely good. I've been here many times. I ask myself why do i keep going back. The customer service here is horrible. It's like there doing you a favor by doing there job. My bread is always smashed and they get upset if you ask for a bigger bag. I know many other people here don't like the service but the bread is good. I'm not going back again and would not recommend it. Customer service is everything you're serving the public. Remember that. read more

Great food and pastry. Very well priced. I bought cane asada and carnitas at the deli with rice and beans and tres leches cake, a cookie and some rolls from the bakery. Everything was great and very fresh. I was visiting from out of town and will go here every time I get to Mesa. I can't wait to go back in September! read more
