I bought their guava and cheese king cake this week, it was delicious! I liked that it was NOT drowning in icing. Just the right amount to add sweetness without going overboard. I think guava was also an excellent choice for a filling. I would definitely recommend. I also picked up a couple of empanadas, they were also very tasty. I am interested in trying some of their other baked goods.

I recently purchased their tres leches cake for my birthday and it's gone! My whole family enjoyed it. That cake was every bit of delicious, and moist. I'll be getting another one for NYE. The lady who helped me was also so kind. I'll be back for sure.

Best Tres Leches cake I've had and only $15! Seems like an authentic community spot that has lots of good items

Okay so my sister decided to stop by today since it was next to her workplace and she texted me to tell me the carne asada tacos were 11/10. Being the foodie I am, I couldn't help but go when I realized it was a 4 minute drive from where I was. I walk in and to my surprise it was a grocery store that also had food in the back. Seems like most of the employees are Spanish speakers but to my luck I believe I bumped into the manager or owner who helped me and placed my order for an order of 3 carne asada tacos. We talked a bit while waiting for the food and he was a sweet gentleman who was authentic and even showed me other food options they had. It smelled amazing so as soon as I sat in my car I tried one and wow. I've tried many taco places here in Nola- food trucks, restaurants, etc. these are the BESTTTTT tacos I've ever had. Did I mention they make the tortillas right infront of you??? Seriously out of this world it comes with a spicy sauce and like and it's just beyond great. I'm sure I'll be there more often than I should but it's truly a hidden gem.

Love this place! Their beef meat pies are soo addictive. You can also find other latino grocery items like chips, refried beans, fresh cheese. They also have really good beef soup - for that typical Nola hangover.

What a wonderful new discovery today: the best Cuban sandwich in town! Hands down the freshest ingredients, the bread is impeccable and the pickles augment what can best be described as a fantastic curry flavor. This is just the beginning of many more trips to a Mid City gem in the making. From cafe-style seating for your morning cafe Cubano and baleadas to guava pastries to shopping for you empenada staples for your meal at home, this place is a winner! The staff all smiles, too!!!

I have driven by here many times, and finally stopped in on a rainy Saturday afternoon. To my surprise, it is not just a bakery but also a huge Latin market! Every single person in there was extremely helpful and friendly. I wasn't very hungry, so I didn't get anything from the hot food bar, instead opting for a tres leches cake, pineapple filled turnover, and a meat pie. The meat pie was delicious, and the desserts weren't really my taste. But there was SO MUCH in there to eat (and a little dining area), that I will definitely stop in again when I'm actually hungry. My Spanish wasn't quite strong enough for communication; however, there were plenty of English speaking staff to help me out. It looks as though she also does catering - I saw a van being loaded and many people walking out with family sized dishes/casserole sized portions.Parking lot directly in front of store or street parking.

It was great to hear a Honduran bakery exists here in New Orleans, feels like a little piece of home. Unfortunately, there aren't many Hispanic places in the city to go to. But when I heard of a guava and cream cheese king cake, I jumped on it immediately. I called ahead and was able to order one for pick up the next day. I picked it up in time for our staff to enjoy. The breading was not dry and moist to enjoy, and ratio of guava and cream cheese made it delectable. Definitely a location to enjoy king cake from next season. The staff were friendly and helpful, that I ended up picking up more pastries to take. Overall a great experience and can't wait to go back and pick up some more items.
