La Panaderia At Bazaar Del Mundo

Literally the best churros I’ve ever had! Crispy and hand-​made right in front of your eyes, it tastes just like Mexico!

Located inside the Old Town San Diego Historical Park.
Awesome and inexpensive churros — the Mexican variety which is sweet [not the Spanish one which comes with chocolate.]

In the market by Fiesta de los Reyes. Next to Gipetto’s toy store. Cute little corner bakery with delicious Latin sweet breads and ice cream. The variety is limited and its cash only but it’s just enough sweetness for a quick dessert. Churros are $ 2 and scoops for $ 3. But remember, it’s cash only. Try the apple empanadas. Mmmmm

The churros are terrible. They are stale and just caked with sugar and cinnamon. The empanadas are alright but pricey. Just to be on the safe side take the easy way and head to a local Mexican bread place and pick up a better one. And the service is disgusting. The disgusting Mexican behind the counter provides horrible service. Make sure he uses gloves or tissue paper to grab your food. Also the disgusting Mexican also was hitting on my girlfriend and and telling her he can be on the side and he proceeded to tell her mother bye mother in law. So really not worth it. Disgusting service, disgusting churros, and a disgusting Mexican who is impolite, rude, hated the whole experience and will be letting the BBB know about this disgusting employee. Not worth it.

The churros were yumm-​o! I didn’t get a chance to try anything else but I did notice they sold fresh squeezed juices & other pan dulce! Definitely would pick up treats from here again!

Always drop by here during a visit to Old Town (especially during a show at the Cygnet Theatre) and the churros are always very good. I’ve tried a few of the other pastries, but hands down, the deal on churros is the main reason to drop by here! OH, and the excellent service!

This is hands down the best place to get a fresh churro. I’ve never had a better tasting one anywhere else. It’s made fresh here daily. Old town is a really cool place to walk around and hang out for the day. If you’re ever around the area, I would highly recommend coming in for the churros.

So my girlfriend raved about their churros! So we made a stop and ordered two! Large and crispy, I expected perfection!
What we got was somewhat disappointing. After the first bite, I was confused… because it tasted like a churro yet the texture was different. I still ate it, not knowing any different. My girlfriend commented that the churros weren’t fresh; so stale. So that’s why their texture was weird. For $ 2, I wasn’t too upset. Afterall, it tasted great. Eh…

Looking for fresh churros in old town? This ain’t the place. Terribly disappointed. Thinking OT needs a churro lady to work along side the tortilla lady.

These were the worst churros I ever had! Slightly sour and hard as a rock. I wish I could get TJ churros in San Diego…

Holy CHURROS Batman!
I don’t care what anyone says about this place — they make the best churros hands down! But I have to warn you… if you eat healthy all the time this is not the place for you. BUT if you like to indulge in sugary fresh goodness every once and while then by all means run to La Panaderia. I have been coming here for years and a trip to Old Town isn’t the same without a churro.
Did I mention they are only $ 2??? WHAT! AND they are the size of your forearm. Such a deal. You haven’t lived until you have tried one.
Feel free to thank me after you take your first bite:)

The cutest bakery and the very helpful cashier. I was trying to find a café with wifi and he went out if the store to help me find it. Such a charming location.

Good bakery. I enjoyed some of the cookies, but why soooo much for a cookie?
Its good stuff, but really, how much!!!

These 5 stars are strictly for the sugar cookie with sprinkles… seriously…get one… but I must say, the service is always friendly and the churros are mucho delicioso as well.

Only popped in this place to get a churro. After eating it I wanted more.

$ 3 empanada. Nice, flaky shell with beef, carrots, and potatoes on the interior. Nothing to write home about here.

Cute little bakery is the heart of Fiesta de Reyes. Was actually looking for the restroom nearby but the empanadas on the display rack caught my eye.
Yum! Tried the Empanada Piccadillo (ground beef) at it was delish. A bit pricey at $ 3.00 but at least it was bigger than the usual ones I have had before. Did not get to try the Churros (read the Unilocal review too late! :() although we did get another baked goody that was a round puffed up bread thing with cream inside. The store person did not know what it was called as she has only been there for 2 days. That was ok, I’ll go with the empanadas still.
Great place to just sit with a cup of coffee and pastry of choice. Decent view of the stage when there is a show on.

Oh Lord, what do I say about the stale, cold and hard churros I had at this place… well I guess I just said it all!

Listen to me people. Don’t miss the bus here. There is only one thing to get at this establishment, and it will blow your mind: the churro. For $ 1.50 you can bite into the best churro you’ve ever had. Complaining about something else you ordered here? Well too damn bad, I told you to get the churro.

Two main selling points:
(1) It is the only Panaderia in Old Town that I saw during my trip there.
(2) Churros are home made, he squeezes the dough out of this churro maker that gives its long tubular star shape. (think potato slicer thing that they use at in and out but for churros)
My main regrets:
(1) my boyfriend wanted this Mexican pineapple pastry (think like a hot pocket but with pineapple filling)
(2) I didn’t get to try the churros here. (: cry :) and my only closest reference point for comparison are the churros at Costco that I grew up with, so I knew this was something huge I missed out on.
The guy who works there is super friendly. Everything here is pretty cheap. The pineapple pastry that we had was alright, I’m almost certain I would have like the churro more. They deep fry ‘em and toss them in the sandy sugary goodness.
if i were to come back, i’m going to get this churro, even if it kills me.
but i’m sure there are other, maybe more superior churro establishments in the greater san diego area.
