"We first fell in love with Comadre Panaderia when it opened as a weekend pop-up with online pre-orders that would always sell out. Now, instead of battling everybody with a working internet connection, all we have to do is walk through a bright yellow door in East Austin to find a tiny room filled with modern pan-Latinx baked goods. The menu changes from week to week, but there are usually a handful of vegan and gluten-free options, savory sourdough croissants, and corn-based cookies and donuts. Get a couple of heirloom masa sugar cookies—they’re sweet, crumbly, and almost buttery despite being vegan—then fill the rest of your box up with a few twice-baked conchas and corn flour alfajores." - nicolai mccrary

"Best New Bakery Pop-Up of 2021 At the time of this specific Eater Awards, Mariela Camacho had been baking her beautiful, tasty, and thoughtful baked goods in the ways of Mexican and American and Texan traditions and ingredients as a pop-up at Nixta Taqueria (see below). Since then, the operation has grown into a full, physical bakery still in the Chestnut neighborhood, serving fantastic conchas, flour tortillas, eggy empanadas, and cakes. Preorders can be placed online; takeout orders can be placed in person." - Nadia Chaudhury
"Pastry chef Mariela Camach of this bakery was named pastry chef in the Austin Chronicle's Best of Austin Restaurants issue." - Nadia Chaudhury
