I loved everything about this place. The smells, taste and the cultural. I tried items from the bakery side, including empanada con tinga, empanada guayaba, and pan dulce. I can't wait to go back and try some of the homemade icecream and items from the restaurant side. Even on a busy Sunday morning there was plenty of product and room to sit and enjoy. read more

I can't believe I've been in Austin for this long and have not been here. I'll be going back very soon!

Pretty good Mexican Bakery! The bread is fresh and tasty and the employees are pretty nice. One half of the place is dedicated to the bakery and the other side is the restaurant. You can order the traditional Mexican food dishes and drink traditional aguas frescas. Convenient location and they open at 6am in case you want to grab tacos to go. read more

I'm visiting town and came here with my sister to get some bread, the first thing we saw was a roach on the trays to put the bread in!!!! We left immediately, I'm never coming back to this place! read more

I had their tacos al pastor and tacos al bistec...it was amazing! One of the best tacos I've had in Austin! The horchata had a gritty texture, so it wasn't one of my favorites, but tacos were amazing! read more

I went here to grab my mom some Mexican Pastries for mothers day. We are from San Antonio and it's rare that a Mexican restaurant wows us here in Austin. This bakery has a ton of variety. Everything looks so yummy. And everything WAS yummy. The staff was friendly. It's clean and welcoming. Will definitely be back. read more

Everything about this place is DELICIOUS! The smells will amaze you, the food is wonderful, the place is spotless and I can't wait to order our next cake from the bakery! ENJOY! read more

I have one thing to say, OK, two things: 1) the blue-corn quesadilla is the best thing I've ever eaten, and 2) they have a bakery. Love this place. read more

A trip to Chuy Bakery is like a mini-vacation to Mexico. Everything is authentic from the decor to the food. I love the Tortas, massive sandwiches on fresh bread with chorizo eggs, ham etc. How many places you go to offer guava soda? The bakery is really great as well with all kinds of Mexican treats or Pan Dulce. I love the mocha cream churros (how do they get that filling in there?) read more

I've been here four times, and I have been completely happy with every meal. My preference are the sopas con tinga. The flavor and freshness is so delightful. I usually get a Mexican Coke to go with my meal, and always visit the bakery for a sweet treat! I've heard the gelato is made fresh, and I plan on trying that on my next visit! read more

What a find.i recieved a coupon for a birthday basket of pastries from mi tradicion and decided to pick it up and also eat here.so glad i did.the pastries look wonderful and furtive nibbling on a few confims they taste good too.we had a ham and egg torta which was filling enough for both of us split in half.since the prices are so reasonable we splurged on fresh q Squeezedorange juice and horchatas..deliciosa.nive ambience very clean mouthwatering smells from the bakery...a new regualr place for us. read more

For interior Mexican food (no Tex-Mex food!), this is one of the best places. There are several authentic options that allows you to taste some of the most traditional food. I personally like the Torta de Milanesa with Pineapple or the Alambre with Corn Tortillas both of the incredible. Of course, you cannot leave without paying a visit to the bakery and bringing some very good Mexican bread back home! read more

If you like Mexican sweet bread and food I highly recommend this restaurant. Tacos and Tortas need I say more!!!

Had the Tortas and the Huaraches, the Al pastor was spicey and sweet like pineapple food is amazing, Aguas Fresca's, bakery who can ask for more. This will be my go to spot for my Mexican fix. NUYORICAN OUT!!!! read more

I didn't even know this place existed. A coworker told me where and how to find it. The pan dolce is awesome. I grew up around the corner from a panderia and this isbas close to home as I've found. It's really reasonable in price too. Highly recommend this place. read more

Cheap bread that I won't eat! They also have donuts and flan. I didn't like the flan.

If you are looking for pan dulce and great Mexican food this it the place to be. My mom started to go since they open this location and I always wonder where does she gets this delicious pan dulce ! Finally I asked mom and she told me. I couldn't believe it. It taste like real pan dulce from Mexico. Geez!!! I went with mom in one day and we decided to try their food. We were thinking it was going to be good as their pan dulce. And yes ! I had me some torta and mom some guaraches. DELICIOUS I must say! This is the real necks place to be :) glad to have one here so closed by my house. read more

Incredible, such great flavors! I had the shredded chicken and pastor, both great but the chicken was out of this world!

Everything that my husband and I have tried has been excellent, especially the concha bread, tres leches cake, and the quesadillas are to die for! Definitely coming back soon to keep trying everything in the menu. Real Mexican flavor is a plus! read more

Best Mexican bakery I have been to in this city. Had the Cubana torta and it was perfectly done: milanesa was crispy and not chewy and all the toppings were fresh. The bread was toasted for the right crisp but not dry. Will be coming here regularly now! read more

oh wow. why did i wait this long to make this a daily ritual? baked goods - awesome, especially their pink sugar cookies. also, their breakfast tacos are fantastic - especially the egg, bean and cheese. Great for those who live in the 183/Ohlen/Burnet area read more

This review is for the restaurant not the bakery. After reviewing the menu which is not very clear on weather the tacos come as a plate meaning with your standard rice and beans or weather it was a la carte, I proceeded to ask the front counter employee taking the orders at which point she rudely answered it was a la carte and rice and beans are extra . I placed an order for a huarache, 3 picadillio tacos, a torta Cubana, and an order of rice and beans. About 15 minutes later we received our order only to be completely disappointed the huarache which is a large open faced taco, was covered in entirely way too much creama and cheese which made the whole thing incredibly soggy. Secondly the 3 picadillo tacos were incredibly bland like it hadn't even been salted or peppered. And finally the worst thing of all was the torta cubana. I was expecting your standard Cuban sandwich which is usually constructed of carnitas,ham, provolone and pickles or a similar arrangement however this thing was just awful and I mean awful. It was slathered with refried beans, awful tasing beef milanesa steak, a pickled jalapeño and the most revolting thing ever placed on a so called "torta cubana" weenies and not even the quality beef wieners. Those hill country faire like 24 for a dollar wieners. It really seemed like the owner is attempting to cut corners and maximize profit at the expense of the customer. Nothing about this said Cuban! Fidel Castro would have these people executed in a heart beat! The bakery is good but I would stay away from the restaurant. read more

This place is AH-MA-ZING!!! The food is cheap and delicious. I love their empanadas and kolaches ($2 each) and they're really filling. Their tres leches cake are to die for. I got the cappuccino tres leches and the consistency is perfect: not too mushy and not too crumbly. And the crème on the cake was heaven; it had the consistency of buttercream but tasted like whipped cream, which I love. I'm not a big fan of buttercream. Overall, I absolutely love this place. read more

First time here and we all loved it so much, I need to get another batch of pan dulce again tonight! Thank goodness they're open late for a bakery! I don't know what someone said about "lack of English" for this place, there were descriptions in English and the cashier was bilingual. They were helpful with understanding my Spanish since I am not fluent, but I do try. We got orders of al pastor tacos and tacos de carnitas. They were a bit small, but it was fine by us for lunch time. We drank aguas frescas, and it was delicious. There was plenty of pan dulce, kolaches, muffins, bags of bolillos (which we also bought and the bread was fab). The only drawback I saw was there were a lot of customers eating at tables, so we squeezed into a smaller space. But that was no biggie. Will definitely return to try other menu options! read more

This may be our new favorite place, at least for breakfast tacos. Living in this part of town isn't always wonderful, but being so close to this place makes it a little better. We stopped by there on Saturday morning around 11 and after the cashier consulted one of the kitchen guys regarding whether they were still serving them, we ordered two bacon, egg, and cheese tacos to go and grabbed a jalapeno cheese sausage kolache and a dulce de leche filled churro. Total came to $5.50 and I was stuffed after splitting these few things with my fiancee. The tacos were huge and absolutely delicious and the salsas that came with them were tasty as well. The churro and kolache were also wonderful. The dining room area is brand new, very nicely decorated, and looks like a great atmosphere to dine-in. I want to try everything in this place, especially the cappuccino tres leches slice I saw in the cake case for $2.99. I heard the cashier say that one of the beautiful full size cakes in the case was $17, which sounds like a good deal to me. The staff is friendly, though the cashier's English was a little shaky so placing the order took a few extra moments to be sure we were understanding each other. Can't wait to go back for more! read more

Loved this place! Have been only once and have had only one thing, but no hesitation in 5-star rating. Very clean, nicely appointed and welcoming restaurant with attached bakery. Got the Cuban Torta and it was delicious. Didn't really fit the mold of what I had pictured as a "Cuban", and I honestly thought they served me an incorrect order (guess I was assuming ham, pork, mustard and pickles) but no, it was just an interesting take on the Cuban. Difficult to describe - main meat layer was like a very thin breaded cut of some type of beef/steak (very similar in looks, taste and texture to a very thin chicken fried steak), underlying a layer of very tasty grilled hot dog slices (yep, sounds weird, but it worked) and topped with cheese, jalepenos, avocado slices, lettuce and tomato. The Torta bread was so good it probably wouldn't have made much difference what they stuck inside. My only objection - if you care to call it that - was that sandwich was way too big, and I ended up being able to eat only half. First world problems, right? A nice nearby homeless lady was a happy and grateful recipient of the other half.... though I noticed she too was puzzled by its appearance :) The pastries and breads in the bakery section all looked really good, and I look forward to trying something from there next time. This place is a gem in an unexpected location. A little tricky to find - it's behind and to the left of the main strip of stores, but definitely worth a try! read more

Really good place. Food was delicious although the steak was a little on the cheap side. The bread was fresh. It was hot and soft. They make it there and the fries also fresh. The bakery is great although some items are missing the description. For people who aren't Mexican and want to know what each item is or contains it's difficult. Other than that food was fast and great. read more

I love this place! I love the tortas, I love the pastries, I love the bread, I even love the psychedelic flowers set in gelatin. They have also made two wedding cakes for me (well, not for me-I was catering for friends' weddings) two birthday cakes and I even had Chuy make a croquembouche for me which have all been awesome! I have a hard time getting anyone in town make a croquembouche. Cake prices are very reasonable. Love! read more

I spent several years of my childhood in Laredo, TX where just around the corner from my grandmother's house on San Dario Ave was a family owned panaderia. Walking into Mi Tradicion at the recommendation of my brother a few years ago brought back all sorts of great memories as the smell of freshly baked pan dulce greeted me right at the door. If you are new to Mexican bakeries, this place will overwhelm you with brighly colored pan dulces, cookies and cakes. Don't be afraid. Go grab one of the stacked metal trays and a pair of tongs. Begin by walking around the bakery and observing all of the sweets inside the bakery cases along the perimeter of the room. You'll see various conchas, polvorones, empanadas, orejas, churros and marranitos. They even have Kolaches and donuts. The Marranitos are molasses or gingerbread based sweet bread baked in the form of a little pig. The empanadas de camote or de calabaza are excellent. It's not important to know the names of these items, but I always ask the friendly staff there for correct pronounciations as I attempt to reclaim the Spanish that I've forgotten over the years. The other side of the business is a restaurant which I've yet to try that sells tortas, tacos and more. I've always wanted to grab lunch there, but the lure of the panaderia is captivates me first. read more

We ordered a cake for a sweet 16 and the whole cake crashed to the floor. They said they would put it themselves because if we put it we would put it on wrong. Within the next hour that they left it fell. Not very good service at all. read more

This place is legit. Being from Mexico City I have been to a lot of so called "authentic Mexican" restaurants just to be disappointed over and over by the authentic Mexican wanna be, that is: Tex-Mex joints. I had a tinga quesadilla (spicy chicken, cooked onions, sour cream and cheese) that was delicious and a bistec tostada order that was filled with avocado, tomatoes, fresh cheese and sour cream in all Mexico City style. Yummy! For people that have been lucky enough to try REAL tacos al pastor abroad, I am going to tell you guys, look no further: hands down the best tacos al pastor I have had in all Texas. Pineapple and everything! I could not believe my eyes, For that alone these poblanos (the owners are not chilangos, but from Puebla) earned my business. They also have an entire bakery with salty and sweet empanadas and traditional Pan Dulce. They even had bolillos baked to perfection to make your own tortas or molletes! WOW. Please give them a chance, you will be so pleased you did. Y... Viva Mexico! oh si... :-) read more

Not impressed at all. The muffins I bought were dry and had almost no chocolate chips in them. I don't think I'll ever go back there.

This rating is based for our last time at this place... we used to go very often because the food is very good, tacos, tortas, whatever u had was good... even invite our family when they came out of town to visit us (truly Mexican traditional food) our dissapointment came after at least 5 years of coming here.... one time January this year we went with our parents we were having dinner... and ordar tortas and quesadillas, we were in the middle of our meal... when my mom was going to give her second bite on the torta and it had a roach there... we hesitated at first but nooo it was a roach... imagine our faces.... we almost throw up... we called an employee then the manager on duty came and offer us to refund the meal... they only refund the torta.... I don't know it was so bad .... we really liked this place but never ever.... read more

Always stop here on the weekend. Bread and pastries are crazy good. Also ordered the torta this last time and it is was great. I also recommend the chocolate flan. Definitely my favorite bakery, best value. read more

Their chocolate chip muffins are fantastic. Went there twice in the same day for breakfast and lunch because I was so impressed! Their tacos were great too! Got way too much breakfast for 4 and it was only $10! Amazing! read more

I love this place. Great food. Fresh bread. Great prices. Wish it were closer to my house.

my friend has gone here 5 days in a row (various times, breakfast, lunch, dinner) and has had an amazing time

Wow - what a place. This place is cleaner and less divey than a typical hole in the wall but still has that unpretentious feeling that tells you that they are focused primarily on the food. Super fantastic bakery and the food was priced right and tastes great -- nice touch is watching them in the window cooking. We will be back to try other dishes. read more

Mexico City style street tacos. Great Al Pastor tacos. Sopes. Huaraches. Excellent food. 3-4 different sauces and salsas - spicy! Their bakery inside takes the cake - excellent home baked breads, pastries, etc. to go with the Nescafe style coffee. Couldn't recommend more! read more

Do yourself a favor and go get a torta here asap. So good. The bakery items are delicious! I don't really know what half of it is, but I haven't picked too much out of the cases I didn't like. I have to keep myself from going to this place too often or else I'll have to be wheeled in and out. read more
