Fresh pan dulce -- best in town. Reliable quality and great selection. Arrive earlier in the day for the best options.

I'm sorry, you were looking for Taco Bell? It's a block to the East. Or possibly you prefer a place with strings of colored lights, sombreros on the wall and drinks of a hue difficult to find in nature, but with salt on the rim and a piece of citrus hanging on the edge, possibly a cute name and a large price tag. You know, the kind of place that has 700+ reviews on Yelp and tons of pictures of cool people hanging. Yea, this is not that place. Head down 7th Avenue to the south a couple of miles to Southwest Boulevard, turn left and drive a mile. Utopia awaits you, possibly featured on TV by Guy Fieri. Do those of us that care a favor. Don't tell him about Reyna's. I'd rather have a plate of impossible goodness, say the street style tacos (single wrapped unless you request double), the enchiladas or chili rellenos. Tacos de canasta? Who else is serving them in KC? You tell me. The tacos here, bursting with flavor, stuffed with far more meat than any like restaurant in tow. More protein, less onion and cilantro, but just the right amount to give you the right kick in the head. The corn tortillas lightly seasoned in oil, but not drenched. Everything that makes this kind of food famed, it's all here. They have the simple rice and beans like a hundred other joints on Kansas Ave. or Minnesota Ave. in KCK or Independence Ave. in KCMO. But no, theirs... better. Better flavor, more love, tastes better, less filling (scratch the latter). And then in my mind, after a meal like this, I walk out with change left from a $10 bill. What could possibly improve all this? OK, throw in some loud Mexican videos on the TV filled with accordion music, middle aged overweight guys in cowboy hats that sing beautifully and impossibly hot girls pretending to fawn over them that wouldn't give them the time of day otherwise. It's all here. But wait, there's all that Mexican bakery goodness across the other side. And the lady at the cash register that stood and chatted with me for 15 minutes. You won't be finding that a Taco Bell. Regrets? Plenty. In my indulgent lust and self-imagined expertise of every Mexican joint in Kansas City, my stop here has given me pause... I've driven by here probably 200 times over the past 15 years and never stopped. Justification for suspension of my self-awarded street taco license. How soon can I return to atone for my shortcoming? Tomorrow will do. read more

Authentic Mexican bakery. I'm from Los Angeles and needed something special for family event. This was it! Best Concha's in Kansas City!

I've grown up with this place! My dad loved the sweet potato empanadas when they had them... they were so cozy and perfect for fall weather. The conchas always taste fresh and airy! The topping is the perfect sweetness! read more

I've never actually been here, but hubby has ordered tamales for pickup quite a few times for our Christmas tradition. The tamales are always amazing, I love the sauce they serve with them and the service is terrific!! It's a place worth checking out! read more

Big fan! I'll be back for sure. My wife and I are doing a "taco tour" of the kc k area cause we're street taco junkies Rayna's chicken tacos have flavor like you won't believe I'd like to eat them 2 at a time. I also had a spicy pork so good that it reminded me of the scene in what about bob where they're eating dinner and Bob (bill Murray) keeps making mmmmm mmmm noise after every bite. read more

The smells when you walk through Reyna's front door can do more for you than any therapy session. This place is a mainstay for me. I am here at least every other week. Good authentic home cooked Mexican food for less than $5 is hard to come by in this city, and as a student I most definitely appreciate Reyna's! $1 tacos or tamales, $0.62 for a bread (tax included!) and it is DELICIOUS! The options at the lunch counter change a little daily, but I always get tacos, and I can recommend the chorizo with potato and the pork tacos. The setup is fast food/casual with a walk up lunch counter where you order and they put it in your hands, and there are a few tables and a soda fountain machine. Come to think of it, I don't think there's a menu posted anywhere, just walk up to the counter and pick a tortilla and your fillings! I can never leave without picking up a 6 pack of fresh hot tamales for study nights. They make pork tamales daily and they're there until they're sold out, but once in awhile they also make cheese and jalapeno tamales! I would only consider taking this down to 4 stars when KC can offer me a better lunch for less than $5! The tamales and Mexican sweet bread are the best I've found in the city. Since there are no hours posted anywhere and I don't know what their hours are exactly, I though I should mention that the food is only open for lunch (no dinner here), it's pretty much shut down around one.. If you're going for bread, the bakery is open later (late afternoon?) I have also catered from here a couple times, mostly ordering large numbers of tamales for student organization meetings. Everybody raved about how delicious they are and if you want to do that, you should talk to Jessie who is only there in the mornings. I have successfully ordered last minute the night before, but I wouldn't recommend it unless you have some Spanish skills and reconfirm the next morning. This place is as authentic as they come, I would also suggest an extra half hour cushion pick up time :) read more

Reyna's Mexican Bakery - A few of my favorites. concha (front), panadero (left), strawberry empanada (right) - Bakeries Near Me - Kansas City, Kansas

We just went there for the tamales, but they were super friendly & gave us the last dozen they had. We got six pork & six cheese & jalapeno. The pork was very good, but the cheese was just fair. I wouldn't get them again. The bakery did look good, but not what I was wanting at the time. read more

$1.60 for some of the healthiest, most authentic breakfast burritos I've ever had. Beef, potatoes, and a great blend of spices. Many other choices available. Both the woman preparing the food and the cashier spoke enough english to make the transaction smooth for a non spanish speaker. Yummiest green salsa I've had since I was in San Antonio. I will definitely be going back. read more

The name of the place is actually Reyna's Panaderia which means Reyna's Bakery. The bakery goods and the food are authentic. The employees are helpful and are bilingual. I ate lunch(6 crunchy tacos) there today for $2.98 plus tax and bought a dozen large(about the size of a bear claw) mixed sweet breads(pan dulce) for under $7. The food is really good and you get the opportunity to dress it up the way you like with a small bar of add-on's and sauces. the place isn't fancy but I can't think of another place where you can get authentic Mexican food that cheap. I was raised on authentic Mexican food so I know the real thing when I see it. I work on the Plaza and it's a short drive to get there and back during my lunch hour. read more

A classmate suggested Reyna's when I wanted to order a Rosca de Reyes for a class presentation. They don't have a website or any information listed online, so I called to see what time they were closing on Friday. The woman who answered kept answering, "6, 6 in the morning." I decided to take a chance and just head down to the bakery. When I arrived at the bakery, there was an inconvenient language barrier that made it very difficult to order the Rosca. I eventually placed an order for the following Tuesday and prepaid so I could just swing by and pick up the cake before class. Tuesday came and I was very excited to pick up the cake. However, when I got to the store, the man at the counter went to get the owner to come talk to me because of the communication barrier. Apparently their oven had broken on Monday and they had to shut the entire store down. When I asked if my cake was ready, the owner said that the baker didn't have a chance to bake it. This confused me at first because I could see the people in the back working with trays and trays and trays of freshly baked pastries and their were pastries in their front display cases. The owner said she didn't know about any Rosca order. I had my receipt from both the actual order and when they ran my credit card. She repeated that she didn't know about any special orders. I showed her my copy of the order and pointed out that they had my name and phone number and should have called me if they weren't able to make my order. She and a couple workers began talking to each other, I interrupted because I had to leave for class. The owner asked if I could pick the cake up tomorrow. I reiterated that I needed it for a class presentation that day. The owner and the workers began to talk again, I interrupted them again and asked to be refunded. They did not know how to refund my credit card, so they just gave me cash. As I was leaving, the owner said to place orders directly with her in the future. As if I'd ever order from Reyna's again? Psh. No. read more

I was so disappointed that they stopped serving lunch @2pm because it was highly recommended to us. However the Mexican bread made up for it-- so delicious and a wide variety. It's also inexpensive. The location looks kind of sketchy but trust me, it's not. Bring cash if you can. read more

It doesn't get any more delicious or authentic. My co-workers and I go here at least twice a week. You can beat the tacos for the price. 5-6 meat options to choose from everyday. And the bakery? a sweet lover's dream. Tons of choices- all delicious. All very cheap. Under a dollar an item. There's no menu but you can choose from the staples- hard or soft taco, burrito, gordita, torta. If you want rice, beans, cheese, or lettuce on your taco, please ask because the traditional fare is just meat on a taco. You can add cilantro, lemon, onion and 4 different salsas on your own from the salsa bar. read more

Well, I would have given this place a try, but they refuse to speak English when the first word you say is "hello" on the phone after they answer. They hung up twice when I first called.Since my mother is from Mexico I thought I'd at least try to find out more about this place. When she lived here she always warned me about inauthentic Mexican food in the states, and she would avoid places in the Argentine area mainly because she would say "the uneducated Mexicans lived there, and often it would be their descendants who'd run the place and wouldn't know a thing about Mexico to begin with." I decided to go against her opinion and still give this place a try. After they hung up twice, I called a third time and spoke in Spanish because I know the language, although I figured if they run a business here they ought to speak some English. I asked the lady who answered why they hung up and how is this a professional way to run a business? I then asked if they have a website, and she said "un momento," so she put me on hold to find out the answer I suppose. I listened to the background and the business bustle, which was really interesting. A sociological perspective that made me wish I could be a fly on the wall to watch. I heard some people of color speaking in English or Ebonics and they were complaining about the wrong order they had received. Hmm...I thought, its like the tower of babel. I digress, I decided to hang up. I figure if I want authentic Mexican conchas, bolellos, or orejas I best save my money and go to a panaderia down there. While I'm there I'll go to a tortillera and get a few fresh hand made tortillas. read more

Husband and I love Mexican baked goods. You have to know before you buy them that they're not as sweet as American baked goods, and the dough is a little yeastier. Reyna's has a huge selection of goods, and the worker walked us through what each tasted like and the ingredients they were made out of. The price chart is listed on the wall so you know how much they're going to cost (each baked good costs the same amount, but the price goes down the more of them you buy). We bought 6 pastries for $5.10 (tax was included), and each one was delicious. I highly recommend Reyna's. read more

I've been going to Reyna's for years now, as I am a total diehard for cheap, delicious baked goods. I realize that Katrina A. had a bad experience, but that's because Reyna's is simply not meant to take orders, and I believe they've had new management since her review. It's like a convenience shop of baked goods-you pop in, get whatever catches your eye, and bam, take in the delicious fresh goodness that is a Reyna's bread. The conchas (a fluffy bread with a sugar topping) are my go-to, as they always have them. The bolios (basically a Mexican hoagie bread roll) are great for making sandwiches for lunch. I've never had lunch here, but I can say that you should go before 7 or 8, because that's when the shelves will be mostly cleared. read more

As soon as you walk up to the building the amazing smell of fresh baked bread is intoxicating! The bread was so good, conchas, tornillos, empanadas, you name it AND you can't beat their prices we purchased 10 pieces of bread for less than $7.00. We didn't try the tamales but will have to next time. This is definitely our new bakery, we live in West Shawnee but the drive is worth it. read more

The shredded pork burritos are amazing! I had a friend turn me on to these and wasn't able to stop thinking about them (I love food) :)

Amazing. The meats are tasty. Bakery isn't my thing but the restaurant is. If I wouldn't have come without a friend taking me here. Glad he did read more
