Paco’s Bakery

I did not know what to expect from Paco’s Bakery. We were in the area to attend a funeral at the VA Cemetery across the road, and needed to get some breakfast for our children. Paco’s seemed to be the only food place open in the area, so we thought we would give it a try. When we walked in, it was sort of amazing! Instead of having all the pastries behind a counter and having a server bag up your selections for you, at Paco’s every wall was a floor to ceiling display case of pastries. You grabbed a tray and a pair of tongs, and walked around the perimeter of the shop to grab whatever pastries caught your fancy. There were regular rolls, cookies, croissants, hand pies, gorgeous cakes, traditional Mexican pastries, and just about everything you could imagine. There was so much stuff we had never seen before, and we just started grabbing everything that looked interesting. When we were ready, we got into a huge line (the place is tremendously popular!) to get cashed out.
When we were done, we had 4 drinks and two shopping bags full of pastries. Our total came to something like $ 12, which is less than what I would have paid at Starbucks just for the drinks. We took our bounty over to the small seating area, and went to town. Most of the things we picked out were very good. The hand pies were fun, and the croissants were so good that we took them back with us, and used them for breakfast sandwiches the next day.
Paco’s is the sort of place that I would go back to regularly. I wish I could find a similar bakery in Ft. Worth!

I ordered a cake and they showed me a glimpse of it as I was paying. Im in the car almost home and open the box, my cake had a break in the picture I had ordered on it. If they would’ve opened the box all the way for me to view the whole cake I would’ve noticed the defect on the cake. They knowingly sold a messed up cake that I ordered a couple days before I picked it up. Never going back to this place.

Pecos bakery OH MY you have everything I want in there cakes, fresh bollio bread, mexican cokes and other sodas, and even a little taqueria inside where you can get amazing food at.
The sweet bread always taste fresh and a good variety that keeps you wanting to go in there and just eat everything.
The only advice I would give people who would like to come to this bakery is to get there early so you can get some sweet bread, and the parking get a little crazy and packed so get there early.

Paco’s has the best sweet bread in this area. Average prices but it’s always fresh and delicious.

I liked the products, they tasted good. I am not 100% confident of the freshness though.
I don’t know if it was me, but the lady at the register wasn’t the nicest I’ve ever met.
Keep up the good work, you guys have a lot of potential if you wanted.
Maybe making the place look a little more «bakery» style would help the customer feeling more welcomed at at ease when leaving their money.

First time visiting this bakery and I will definitely be coming back for more. I don’t know if I came too late, but I wasn’t able to try their sweet bread that other reviewers mentioned. However, they have enough goodies to try and boy were they delicious and extremely reasonably priced.
I would make a list of the pastries that I purchased, unfortunately there was just too many names to remember and some were in Spanish. But… I think it is safe to say that it is near possible that everything in the store is delicious.
From the moment you get out of your car, you are greeted by the sweet aroma of freshly baked goods. When I say «fresh» it is fresh. Every selection I made was soft and moist — nothing hard and crumbly about their baked goodies.
In short if you find yourself in North Houston, this place is a great spot to grab either a big or small CHEAP & DELICIOUS pastry and a cup of fresh brewed coffee.

Still the best Mexican sweet bread in Houston. I tried many others in in town but this is still the best. They have the best customer service and a wide variety of treats for your palate. On the weekend make sure you don’t come too late especially when its cold because the selection will be very slim

Ever since they switched locations their pan dulce has gown downhill. I don’t see the same girls around so maybe they’ve switched bakers? They have plenty space to add more variety, but it seems like they are sticking to the regular. Hopefully they’ll pick it up.

I always get my sweet bread from here! Everything is good but the place can get very busy. Overall the bread is OMG good!

Oh Paco Paco whatever happened to you since you have grown? I remember when you used to be in that smaller space right next door to the Chevron. You were always packed when I needed my variety box of breads and seemed to have a larger choice.
Forward a few years later since I have returned to you and finally gotten to visit you after you’ve opened here. Maybe it’s that you have doubled your business space but have kept the same amount/​variety of bakeries that you had when I frequented you a few years ago? I’ll have to make another visit because I can’t put my finger on it but I do miss the busy bodies I would see with that sense of urgency you once had.
A little tip, the ladies you have now behind the counter now could stand to half crack a smile once in a spell. The two you had a few years ago would make you sense their urgency that they have a job and mean business.
See you in a couple of days my friend.

I’ve been going to this place for YEARS. I love them so much and they recently remodeled so it’s bigger so more room for bread, more pastries, and more room to walk around in because they get BUSY! Their bread is delicious :-) and cheap! If you’re ever craving Mexican sweet bread, that’s the place to go!
