The sweet smell of bread lures you in. Best fresh treats I’ve had in Chicago. The conchas were warm and soft. The bolillos were fresh, soft and delicious. Would recommend!!

Fui en la mañana y el aroma me captivo. El pan estaba recién echo, nunca he probado un cochinito recién salido del horno y wow 😋 delicioso. También me lleve una bolsa de conchas… me quede muy satisfecha 😌
