this place needs to pay for a remodel of the roof and floor and hire someone to clean its always dirty.

Chuy Bakery is sort of hard to see. Going north on 183, you cannot see it, as it is on the east side. Going south, you cannot see it, as it is tucked off on the southside of the shopping center. When you do make it to this enormous facility, your work will be rewarded. First off, pricing is outrageous. Second off, there is a ridiculous amount of variety. Third off, you can special order cakes and the like. And I am certain that they would do a fine job. I will just give a very brief survey of my experience. Please correct any wrong names, or feel free to add the ACTUAL names, assuming you can determine what I ate. Think of this as some sort of "blind yelping." I enjoyed the moist texture of the tres leches raisin cake. The raisin scone boasted a very crumbly, crunchy exterior. The more well-known options: The sandy cookie was buttery, crumbly, and not too sweet. Just very well crafted. The muffin was moist, but it was lacking the crust that I so desperately desire in my breakfast good. Conclusion: CHEAP! $2.50 for roughly 1200 calories in carbohydrates and fats protein? Go with their meat-laden taco offerings. I urge you, as a brother of yours in Yelp, get here. Use the tongs, and pick up a bunch of sweets. read more

Excellent and fresh bread and pastries as well as yummy sandwiches and tacos and variety of drinks. Since I discovered it, I went twice in two weeks. Highly recommended and fair prices too. read more

Very authentic. I really enjoyed it. My wife found it too spicy, but I love spicy food. Great for lunch. I will be back for sure.

This place is great. You know the food is good when the parkinglot is full of cars coming and going on a thursday night one hour before closing time. The bread is delish. All kinds of real pan dulce. I could not help but to get some bolillos which are 3 for a dollar and are freshly made all day long. The staff is nice and will even check for you how much longer before the next batch of your fave bread is out of the oven. They sell artisan bread and they can slice it for you. The aroma of the bread was so great that I ate one slice as soon as I jumped in my car. But bread is not the only thing they sell at this wonderful place. They have all kinds of treats too. Flan, cakes (ready made and in individual sizes to sarisfy a craving) , gelato, lattes, espresso, gelatines, chocolate confections, aguas frescas (natural fruit flavored drinks) and other stuff that I can't remember because I'm so excited about writing this review. In the pantry section you can find: mexican chocolate drink mix, juice pouches, instant coffee, and all kinds of sodas. Alas, that is not all my snack hungry friend! Chuy's bakery has a restaurant inside. You can buy tacos al pastor or taco plates with funky names like "el pingüino" as well as fat tortas and tlacoyos and picaditas. This place is a dream for any mexa missing a taste of home. Everything is so clean and you can tell the employees are proud to show that in their clean white uniforms. You can also see how the bread and your dinner is prepared through the large glass windows. And the ultra plus on this place? The spotless large restrooms. Yup. I like it. Why only 4 stars? Well. I would prefer a wider variety of salsas. That's all. read more

Very impressive wide array of Mexican pan dulces! Bakery staff busy baking and filling shelves all day, so all items are freshly baked daily. Conchas, savory empanadas were scrumptious. Churros are better purchased earlier in the day .... after being disappointed with the churros texture when I purchased a few in the later afternoon, I passed by in the morning the next day to try churros again and found them much better. The ones I purchased in the afternoon tasted great but the texture made the churros hard and chewy instead of crisp. Looking forward to visiting again to check out their restaurant's offerings ... heard from a loyal customer that the tortas are EXCELLENT. We'll see! read more

Mi Tradición - Next level tacos!!! - Bakeries Near Me - Austin, Texas

I was craving a churro at 9 PM one night. Believe it or not, there are not a lot of places to get churros late at night in Austin, but thanks to a Yelp search I found Chuy Bakery, and oh man was I glad I found it. This is a hardcore Mexican style bakery. You walk in and grab a tray and tongs then fill up your tray with whatever goodness you want. I have tried almost everything, and have never been disappointed. I would avoid the more traditional western desserts like cookies and cupcakes, and stick with the Mexican treats. I always get a pumpkin empanada, my wife loves their pan dulce, and they have great churros rellenos, yes churros stuffed with dulce de leche. They also have these little things called butter kisses, or beso de mantequilla that are great when you get a fresh one. They have great sandwiches, or tortas as they call them. I am partial to the Cubano myself, but they are all pretty good. The also have great fresh bread, so be sure to pick some up when you go. They recently expanded, so there is plenty of room to sit down and enjoy your food which is nice. read more

My daughter told me about this place and I spent about 30 minutes driving back and forth and around the parking lot looking for it. It's around the corner! I don't speak any Spanish so I couldn't really tell you what's on the menu or what bakery items were. But everything looked good! I picked out an assortment of pastries to take the kiddos and headed to the counter where it looked like you could order a taco. I couldn't read anything so I asked for a chicken taco. The lady didn't understand me so we had to wait for the manager who spoke English. They don't have chicken tacos! Weird, but my daughter said it was like home (Los Angeles) and I was desperate for a fix, so I ordered pork tacos. They were delicious!!! The hot sauce was very good. Later on, the pastries were enjoyed by the kids. The only reason I gave 4 stars instead of 5 is because the lack of English made it very difficult for me to know my choices on the menu. read more

One of Austin's hidden gems. Authentic, cheap, and delicious! I eat here 1-3 times a week and I'm never disappointed. So good!

Totally rad. The bakery is awesome. Cheap delicious baked goods plus the tacos aren't bad either.

This place is great- a totally different menu than the standard Chuy's fare that so many Austenite's and tourists like when they come in to town. The tortas are large and filled with ingredients - the tacos are excellent - and for an interesting touch - order the chicken and potatoe quesadilla. Something out of the ordinary , topped with cheese/cream sauce. I had went to this place last year with my girlfriend for gelato on the bakery side, and that was excellent as well. This was my first time eating on the restaurant side and it more than met my expectations. I highly recommend. read more

Such a big selection of sweet and savory treats for a very affordable price! Highly recommend the strawberry tres leches cake!

Great breakfast tacos! Always very friendly and the bakery is amazing too!

Super amazing and delicious. I fell in love with the cubana torta and Al pastor Huaraches. Con una agua de Jamaica!

If you want to taste ACTUAL Mexican food, head to Chuy's post haste! The tacos are amazing, and they have a small selection of aguas done to perfection. Their sauces are also amazing. What you will experience will save you a trip to Mexico. Absolutely amazing and nostalgic for me. On the bakery side (I am forbidden from it by my diet), you will basically see the best examples of what you would see in a Mexican bakery, plus kolaches and more local fare. The ice cream looks incredible, but again I mustn't touch. This may be my favorite Mexican restaurant in town. And don't use Yelp reviews to tout your ignorance. How about you ask someone what the words mean and get your act together? The whole world can't cater to your stupidity. read more

ARTISAN BREADS!!! I'm not all that fond of a lot of Mexican bakery. Much of it is not very delicate. However, I have been looking for a bakery that makes good bread. AND THIS IS IT! Even Whole Foods at Gateway now wraps all it's "artisan" breads in plastic, removing all of the crispness of the crust. It also alows the store to keep the bread longer if it doesn't sell. And HEB-- all their breads are now in plastic. (And what did the lady say when asked why all the bread has to be in plastic? "Because the flies get on the bread, sir," she said! OMG. But Chuy's Panaderia has the best crusty, high quality bread in town. No platstic wrapping. It's just as crisp as when it comes out of the oven. Hard to find, but once you've found it, you'll keep coming back. The prices are great. read more

Came here for lunch with some coworkers after another friend recommended it to me. This place is half restaurant and half bakery. For lunch I had the potato and chicken quesadilla and it was very good. I made the mistake of getting only one. So if you want to get the quesadilla then I would recommend getting two. The prices here are really good. It is very inexpensive and the food is quality. Of course we also had to get some stuff from the bakery too. They have a really big selection and they have plenty of sweet treats. I got some chocolate chip cookies, a chocolate filled churro (amazing), and this pineapple tart thing. They were all excellent. They also had a good selection of cakes etc in the refrigerated case by the register. Oh yeah, they had samples of the cake too which is always nice. Overall this is a solid, authentic Mexican bakery. Nothing but good stuff here. read more

When we first moved to Austin, our very helpful neighbors insisted we check this place out and it was a revelation! Speaking Spanish is definitely a plus here but people are very friendly and helpful so don't be scared off. The baked good are amazing and CHEAP! I've walked out with 2 or 3 big bags full of stuff for less than $20. The breads are spectacular and from what I've been told, they provide bread for many local Italian restaurants. My only complaint is that they don't always have ciabatta. It's definitely worth having lunch, or as my Cuban relatives would say "el lonche, ai dios mio escandalo!" The torta's are great though, first timers are a little taken by surprise at the inclusion of hot dogs in there. I took a friend of mine there for lunch once who had decided to go carb free for a month - why she agreed to go boggles my mind - and once she stopped screaming "get thee in front of me Satan and order me a torta with the works along with some agua fresca!", everything was A-OK! read more

First of all, this is a good place BUT honestly I dont understand why this place is so popular. Their taco was just okay. Of course bettr than Taco Bell but many other places in Austin have better Taco. Their Mexican bread or dulce pan is better than other supermercado. But thats it. Thus guys will make millions based on the line of waiting around the clock. read more

I've had Mi Tradicion bookmarked for a while and finally got a chance to go there for lunch this weekend. A large space that's half bakery, half restaurant. Of note, the bakery section has a few savory/warm items that I wish I had known about before making a decision. Well, that's just an excuse to go back now isn't it? I had an al pastor taco and a carne asada (bistec) taco along with a gigantic horchata. The tacos were delicious. I've never seen al pastor with such red vibrant colors! The horchata was just okay. I wish I had more room in my belly for a slice of tres leches cake, but the slice looked too big to handle. I settled on a piece of pan dulce which was also tasty. Definitely making this a staple in my rotation! read more

Love at first bite!!! Cubana Torta- wow - I love this! You must try the tortas. Enough for two people. Plato submarino- mixture of severals meats (chorizo, ham, etc), cheese served with tortillas (corn or flour) and fresh lime. Tacos Pastor- yum, the fresh pineapple with the cilantro, you can't go wrong with this choice. Quesadilla Picadillo - blue corn tortilla- we had picadillo as a filling and cheese. Quite tasty. If you have room left there is gelato or the many options from the busy bakery. I've been to the bakery but this week was the first time since they started serving food...so I've now been three times in four days! read more

Had the torta chilanga and shared an al pastor gringa. This is a bakery so the French bread used for the Torres is epic. The food is great!

This place is Amazing if your a bread lover. The bakery is amazing with a huge selection and great pricing. Grab tongs and a plate and go to town. Easily the best sausage kolaches in town so dont forget one. read more

I love panaderias. Chuy's makes some good pan dulce. I loved most of what I tried. Nice light lemon flavors, pumpkin flavors, moist cakes, FILLED churros (hmm... what is that caramel creme like stuff in the middle?). That said, I avoid their polvorones (they were pretty dry), and I was extremely disappointed with their campechanas... Oddly, HEB used to make really good ones in my area, but stopped.) They taste like someone just baked rectangular layers of plain filo dough and coated them with a light glaze - no other ingredients. I'm used to them being round, and heavy laden with syrup&cinnamon baked into it.. Anyone know where I can get THOSE campechanas? read more

I enjoy Chuy's. I consider them fast Mexican food. But they don't treat as such and you can tell by the quality. I LOVE their tacos al pastor and the quesadillas are made out of purple corn tortillas! The 'pan' is freshly baked and superbly yummy. No wonder us Latinos tend to have curvier figures... we eat these pastries for breakfast and snacks ;) Unfortunately, they have no kid menu so it's hard for me to feed my very picky eater without having to take a lot of stuff out for him to finally eat it. Then again, I should start teaching this kid to eat like a Mexicano, right?! All in all, Chuy's is a healthy, fresh option as opposed to hitting up Taco Bell. Go in and take in the smells and food! read more

Great bakery smell when you walk in the door. Grab a tray and load it up. Can't believe how good the prices were relative to quality / portion size. The other side with the hot food looks good too. Will be back. read more

Bad costumer service, they take for ever to help you out!!! You walk inside and it's like they don't even notice your there.

Packed with all sorts of Mexican and gringo bread and sweet treats, this place is pretty fantastic and fun. The bakery is on site, so you can hear and smell all the breads being made. There's also sandwiches available which all looked good. It was busy the afternoon we tried it out and the staff forgot about the espresso I'd ordered. Thought I had to stand in line again to remind them, the resulting drink was OK. Nothing fantastic, but cheap and good. read more

Okay folks, I've got a little secret that I'm going to share with you all. The bakery has this cool automatic coffee and cappuccino machine that also makes Abuelita hot chocolate. The cool thing is they make a drink out of that machine called a Mokalita! It's half Clasico coffee and half Abuelita hot chocolate. For less than 2.00 you can get a 12 oz cup of a great coffee / sugar fix. Ask for a large cup of ice and pour your hot beverage into the ice cup and you have a slamming iced coffee drink for the half the price of what you'd pay elsewhere! It's a very unique flavor that is quite addicting! read more

The best bakery I have been to in Austin. Cool idea with cafeteria trays, very inexpensive you can try everything. Coffee was really good. read more

Managed to end up here with a friend the other night. I have no honest idea what I ate. All I know is it was delicious. I let her order for me, and it was the biggest, bestest, greatest, superest sammich ever. I didn't even dare walk into the bakery side of the place for fear of wanting a little bit of everything. It helped that I couldn't even eat all of the sandwich by myself. I got about half way in and felt like less of a woman when I realized there was no way I'd finish it. Also, the cantaloupe drink is really good and if you haven't tried it you should! read more

Amazing selections of pastries and donuts. Super cheap as well. But grab a torta, you won't be let down by any means. So damn good. read more

This place has been one of my favorite taco spots but over the years the cleanliness has gotten out of hand. Not sure if they're under new management or what's going on. Yesterday topped it off for me. Me and my girlfriend were dining in and awaiting our food. We couldn't find a clean table so we took it upon ourselves to clean one up. It was then that we witnessed a huge rat run across the dining area. Some of the customers ended up cornering it and killed it under a table it snuck under. We witnessed the staff bag it but they didn't bother to sanitize the area. There was still blood on the floor and they put the table back. Needless to say, we lost our appetite and asked for a refund. The manager informed us that they could not grant us a refund since the food was already prepared and there was no way to prove that they have a rodent issue. I will not be returning. I'm not much on reviews but felt it was my civil duty to inform the public. Beware. read more

This place is probably my favorite go-to legit Mexican food place. I always get a torta and have yet to be disappointed (also the breakfast tacos are excellent!). They also run a bakery and will have plenty of Pan Dulce to choose from as well as Gelato and ready-made tres leches, etc. Keep in mind that they do experience dinner rushes etc. My only complaint is that it seems the word has gotten out on how great this place is and it's no longer my own secret! read more

Mouth-watering goodness from the pan dulce, postres, gelato and fresh-baked bread to their agua frescas, tacos and tortas. Their tacos el pastor were cheap and delicious, loaded with all the right fixings - cilantro, onions, pineapple and two types of salsa. I think it was something like 3 for $4. The torta Napolitana (Milanesa, jamon, queso) wasn't the best I've had, but it was pretty good. The milanesa was tender, though not completely flavorful. A lot of the flavor came from the ample avocado, lettuce, tomatoes, onions on their own fresh torta bread (which is pretty big). As always, the pan dulce was fresh and moist, not at all dry the way it can sometimes get when sitting inside display cases all day. (Our one-year old was even picking sugar and bread crumbs from the ledge of the display case!) That is not the case here since they always have such high turnover. The place is always filled with families - children and adults alike excited to get their sweet fill. read more

O.M.GAWD. The heavenly smell that smacks you in the face is worth the visit alone! Nothing makes me more happy than to enjoy my childhood favorite pan dulce: the maranito. A little fluffy gingerbread piggy and some coffee is all this guy needs. I cannot visit a panaderia without buying maranitos and they are always the first thing to go. The maranito here was the right consistency (not really a cake, but not really a cookie) and very flavorful. I'm not big on pointing out "authentic" Mexican restaurants to my friends (in fact, I hate when I'm asked). But I have to say this place brings back childhood memories...and that's pretty authentic if you ask me. read more

Great food too bad they have poor customer service and restaurant management. I was there this afternoon at 1pm and seven groups of people were served before me despite the fact that I ordered first. Simple order of two tacos, tinga and picadillo. We waited an hour! I went up three times to ask and only got "Un sugundo". My husband went up once and the woman took his ticket away. On the third time I DEMANDED some attention and asked about my order. I suspected it was the one right there at the side of the stove and had been there each time I asked about my order. The women behind the counter never allowed me to ask, just shut me up with her lame "Un segundo". It was cold and insipid after sitting 45 minutes or so???? When I complained to Miss Un Segundo that it was cold I got nothing. Get better customer service please!!!!!!!!!!!!!! this is horrible. read more
