What???? New Mexican Bakery in town... Err, I think its more like Sweet Pastry Goodness calling my name. So since we are in the neighborhood, I decide to stop by at this Mexican Bakery. If I am not mistaken this bakery is located in the Brentwood Plaza Shopping Center. YES, its A BRAND NEW In Town Bakery. The space is kept clean and as when I entered this Bakery, ALL the Sweet Smelling, Goodness, Bakery Goods "swhished" my scensory, making my tummy rumbling and grumbling for more and more....
Err, what to decide, what to choose? DECISIONs? DECISIONs? So many Mexican breads, cakes, cookies, pastries GALORE! Thankfully some of the pastries are labelled so I know what it was and which is which. But still I think I need all the MEXICAN Bakery Pastry catalogue or lingo ambedded in my brain... so I can remember what is what...
Anyhoos, from my sweet tooth loot, the total cost of Mexican Bakery Pastry Goodness, cost me $5! SCORE!!!
* Apple Empanada
* Cherry/Strawberry "Log Things" Sugared Turnovers
* Cherry/Strawberry "Danish"
* Cream Cheese "Bear Paw"
* BIG Sugar Donuts
* 4 Pieces of Mexican Shortbread Cookies
Each baked goods cost $0.80. The 4 Pieces of Mexican Shortbread Cookies is $1.00.
So what's the deal with 3 stars... well since YELP did not offer 3.5 stars as yet... *bummer*...
4 STARS for Value.
4 STARS for Service from the lovely hispanic ladies behind the counter. Coz at least when I ask them what is what, they are willing to converse. Furthermore, I do not speak Spanish.
3 STARs for taste.. coz everything tasted the same. The pastry dough is not as flaky as I want it to be. Is this COMMON for all Mexican Bakery Goods in general?
Portion of dough seems to be more than portion of fillings.
Did not managed to get the upclose photograph shot of the Cherry/Strawberry "Log Things" Sugared Turnovers coz Hubs devoured it before I could. Nothing stellar as yet, though I wish someone could "steer" me to the right directions to what to expect from a Mexican Bakery.
But I still crave for more and DEFINITELY many returns to this San Antonio Fresh Mexican Bakery & Juice Bar in the future when in the neighborhood. Thank you San Antonio Fresh Mexican Bakery & Juice Bar.
