Cute little bakery with nice staff. It's a small family business and the inventory isn't gigantic, but the pastries they make are fresh. There's a nice refrigerated area with tres leches cake slices, flan, and pop. It's a true panaderia with la concha of different choices (a few times they were really dry and crumbly), cookies (tasted stale the past 3 times), and the churros (ALWAYS the win here)!!! The churros are delicious when they're freshly made - regular cinnamon sugar, filled with chocolate or vanilla. THIS is why I come here! Some of the pastries are hit or miss, maybe depends on when I'm stopping in? The churros however are always good and keeps me coming back. Plus I can't walk into a Mexican bakery and not leave with a la concha or other goodies. read more

Fantastic Mexican bakery out in the burbs. Everything I ordered was delicious either in the casing or out of it. Super low pricing. Owner was very sweet providing excellent service. There is a discount if you pay cash. Regular ambiance of a tiny bakery. Take out only. Hope to try their tamales soon which sells out early. read more

Pastries were delicious! Wonderful customer service and great selection! Churros is a family favorite: plain, Strawberry or Vanilla - you can't go wrong! read more

A solid choice if you're looking to get some Mexican pastries. Depending on when you go during the day you may end up with a little more limited selection, but there's enough different types of items here to satisfy your craving for baked goods. Though the prices aren't listed in the case, the price was quite low overall -- coming out to around $7 per bag of baked goods. Even their pricier items were well below what you'd expect to pay elsewhere for a similar item. All the items I tried were fresh and I didn't have any dry items noted by other reviewers. The staff was also friendly and helpful in my purchase. read more

A nice, quaint little neighborhood bakery shop that offers a delicious variety of Mexican pastries. I have picked up some good pastries from here like sweet turnovers/ empanadas (sweet potato, Bavarian cream, apple), macaroons, churros (plain, chocolate, strawberry & vanilla kinds), cinnamon rolls etc. They also have flan, elephant ears, muffins etc. The prices are very reasonable and the service is good. This is one of those local businesses that you want to support all the time because they are worth the visit every time. They sell the baked goods that's not only delicious but it makes you happy. E.g., have their churros (with hot chocolate) or sweet potato turnover just puts me in a good mood. If you haven't been here before then I highly recommend checking them out. They have been around for a while and their baked goods and service can attest for their business longevity. read more

Best in Mexican style bakery in town, great low and reasonable prices and great service.

The best bakery in town no doubt! Fresh bread everyday and the churros are amazing!! Definitely recommend stopping by and checking it out, you will not walk out empty handed. read more

I don't know much about Mexican bakeries, but I do know that Lupita's Bakery is a great place to get acquainted with Mexican baked goods. It's been around for a LONG TIME, so long, that I remember coming in a couple of times when I used to dance at a dance school next door. Last weekend, we were in the area and I had a sudden urge to go inside and checkout what's changed. One thing I can say is that the economy has not effected this place one bit and the prices are as cheap as they used to be 10+ years ago. There is a wide range of freshly baked goods and an aroma that goes on for miles! There are pastries, breads, cookies, and many other items that I have absolutely no clue about. It's a very authentic bakery and almost no English is spoken, so please be aware. When we were checking out, the very friendly lady at the counter was ringing us up, and at first, we thought that each item was $3+, which is kind of expensive, but all the items are HUGE. At the end, we realized that the 4 things we bought came to a total of $3.26 or something close to that and we both started cracking up as we left. It's an awesome little place, and its location is somewhat hidden as its on a strip mall in Wheeling. If you are in the area, I highly recommend checking out this bakery! read more

My family is obsessed with this place and several other Mexican bakeries! Some of the pastries are pretty dry, but holy cow do they make a fantastic cheese danish. The staff is incredibly kind and friendly and they know their products well. read more

Best churros and desserts. The place is also very clean. All pastries are all individually wrapped which I greatly appreciate during covid. Clearly shows these people appreciate their customers and their safety. Have a nice day! read more

Usually on Sunday I drive over to this bakery it's about 20 minutes away but well worth the drive since the bread is made fresh daily they have a nice selection the conchas are delicious and the bolillo filled with cheese and chorizo is also very tasty I definitely recommend this bakery! read more

I recommend their churros! SO AMAZING! perfect blend of sugar and cinnamon on the outside and soft but crunchy when you take a bite. I did try an assortment of their baked goods like conchas, muffins, and baguettes and they were mediocre. There is no english spoken and no signs so you may have to bring a friend to translate or help you pick out some great choices and the men and woman working the front are very nice. read more

This place is amazing! The staff is super friendly and helpful, especially if this is your fist Mexican bakery experience. It was our first, and it won't be our last! It's a self-serve bakery. You go to the counter and get your basket and tongs, ask questions if necessary, and then go to town with all the goodies they have! I chose a cinnamon-topped donut, and a fresh, hot apple pocket pie. I swear that the cinnamon donut tasted exactly like my favorite donuts on Royal Caribbean Cruise Lines. Oh my goodness! The memories came flooding back as I enjoyed this delicious treat. The apple pie was fresh, warm, and delicious as well. Plenty of filling in a flaky crust. Also, we got a free churro for mentioning that we found the place on Yelp! I don't know if that's something they do for everyone, but it would be worth a try! Why no pictures? Well....It was raining. My husband quickly got into the truck and set the back of baked goods on the center console. They fell off just as I was going to sit down. Yup. Squarshed. I didn't think that taking pictures of squished baked goods would be fair, so you will just have to use your imagination! This place rocks! read more

Lupita's Bakery - DISGUSTING TASTELESS 3 kings Ring Bread.!! ;( - Bakeries Near Me - Wheeling, Illinois

We went in here for the first time and the moment we walked in the smell of baked goods hit us. It smelled so delicious! The girl at the front counter greeted us right away. She was all smiles and super friendly. Everything looked so tasty I wanted it all! I ended up getting Conchas of course because they're a staple and Churros in vanilla, strawberry and plain flavors plus different goodies that I couldn't pass up. I got about two bags worth for $11.00! One thing to note is that if you are going to spend $5 or less then it's cash only. I will definitely be coming back here! read more

Awesome little bakery for great mexican pastries. The location is little hard to find. Be attentive when you are driving.

I went in looking for conchas & only found 2. I was told they would have more by 3:30pm. I returned at 4pm & was told they didn't have any as they were just making them. The employee wasn't even apologetic about misinforming me! Horrible service! I'm giving one star as I don't have an option of giving less! read more

Great Mexican bread and pastries really cheap

Great bakery! They are pleasant, and the bakery items are fresh and delicious and not expensive!

Amazing Churros! Always best service, nice & clean place. The flan it's a must try too . Will be back

Very pleased with the selection, service and especially reasonable prices. Check it out, authentic Mexican bakery. Fresh and cheap! Only concern was the quality of products used to make the pastries such as the sauces used inside (raspberry, strawberry). Tasted a bit artificial but then again, the prices are really low so I doubt they use fresh fruit. read more

Small bakery with a limited selection of breads and pastries. You can definitely get good bolillos bread here, which seems to be a mainstay given the racks and racks they had available. read more

If you're ever looking for authentic Mexican pastries and bread, this is your place! The same woman is always there, she's so sweet! And they speak great English as well as Spanish.

Amazing baked goods. I decided to check it out on my way home from work and have been going back ever since. Great family atmosphere, definitely a place to try! read more

Love this place. I have been getting my sweet mexican bread cravings fulfilled here for several years. As soon as you walk in the smell of sweet delicious bread hypnotizes you with delight. Very authentic and with many different sweet varieties to choose from. Their tres leches cake is awesome. They have it by the slice or you can order a whole cake for any occasion. I recently tried their chocoflan and oh my it is heavenly! I always feel like a kid in a candy store as I start filling my basket with different kinds of sweet goodies. I definitely recommend this place if you are looking for an authentic Mexican bakery. read more
