Update, Dec 16, 2021 – Menudo, menudo, menudo. What a beautiful soup. I'll let the picture speak a thousand words instead.Nov 7, 2020 - Good Sunday morning Peoria, if you're still asleep you're missing out on a really amazing Indian summer day. The sun is shining and the birds are chirping.Many of you already know I like to go to Panaderia Ortiz located at the intersection of Spring & Monroe in the North Valley. But what you don't know (all my Hispanic friends do of course) is that they also have off the menu items.One such item is called Menudo, which is the Mexican hangover soup. What I really love about this is that the food culture comparative to where I am from is similar, we love to have good and tasty comfort food, we love soups, broths with lots of different bones and other ingredients in them.When can you get menudo? I spoke with the owners as I left, generally on weekends and sometimes during the middle of the week. If you're wanting to get some during the week, your best bet is to call first to avoid disappointment.#mexican #comfortfoods #menudo #hangoversoup #peoria #illinois #offmenuDec 9, 2020 – Where else do you get chorizo tacos like these? Continually amazed by the consistency of their quality food offerings.Nov 2, 2020 – Breakfast Burrito (egg & chorizo or egg & ham) is an off menu item. You have to ask for it. Bet you can't only eat half.Tacos, tamales and tortas are muy delicioso.

Very nice, hole in the wall, authentic Mexican bakery. We went on a hunt for good tres leches cake and we're not disappointed! So fresh and rich, wet but not soggy and very sweet. They have the cutest little breads that are delicious and also serve tamales, tacos, burritos, coffee, and apparently pizza which I've heard is good but haven't tried yet. Loved all the authentic Mexican drinks and food products and enjoyed a pineapple Jarritos with my delicious tamale covered with Christmas sauces. Loved the green salsa. :). Not much of a parking lot and not a great neighborhood, but GPS found it just fine. If you don't mind going into a little bit of a seedy part of town, this is a great place to visit not only for a good bite but also a huge 10 dollar bag of freshly baked bread in the shape of turtles and the best churros I've ever had filled with raspberry jelly. Will definitely make this a regular stop from now on.

Only place I was able to find that sells good Mexican Bread. I came here to get some pan dulce and bolillos. They were very tasty. The people working there were very friendly and courteous.

A wonderful local stop. High quality bakery and some of the best Mexican food ever. Burritos are incredible and everything else I've tried is on point.Great place to pick u Hispanic staples and candies. Offers international calling service and custom cakes and pinatas. One of the only places I know to get nice dried green and red chili's.

Unfortunately, dropping the rating down... The last couple times have been disappointing. They have messed up the to-go order, and the amount of Mexican rice included is just comical. Literally, 3 tablespoons. Also, the rice used to have corn and a lot of flavor.The desserts are still really good... If I go back, I'll probably stick with the sweets.

I'm finally settling into Illinois and this place made me feel like I was back in Pueblo. The burritos were filled generously and did not disappoint in quality. The tres Leche though was absolutely amazing perfect consistency and the frosting was delicious and creamy.

Review Date: June 27th, 2013The place for Mexican baked goods in Peoria.Laura and Matt told me about this little bakery in Peoria that I had to check out. So, doing what I do, I told them to meet me there the next chance we go. We grabbed Tim along the way and headed there for some baked goodies.I will admit that I had no idea what the place was when I was told about it. All I heard was a Mexican bakery I need to check out. I didn’t know what to expect but what we experienced was definitely not what I imagined. Most bakeries, when you think of them, are those glass display cases loaded up with tons of bakery items. Breads, cookies, rolls, etc. When we stepped in Panaderia, it was all that and then some. They had the display cases full of stuff but they also had these metal rack holders with racks of baked goods on them. Whether there were for public purchase or they there using the main part of the building as a cooling off area, I don’t know. But the smells were overwhelming, in a good way. The place smelled heavenly, even if I wasn’t sure what I was smelling.We moved over to the display cases and started to pick out a few things. Some of the things were easy to figure out while a few of the things required us to ask the cashier what they were. He was more than willing to help us pick out our snacks. We all picked out a handful of goodies and headed out. I didn’t realize until after we left that they sold pizza as well. That seems odd at first but if you think about it, it does make some sense. Do you not bake a pizza? Don’t bakeries bake things? Just put 2 and 2 together and you have a winning combo.As we walked to the car, we snacked on the goodies. I tried to stick to the safe stuff that I knew I would like but I did get a few unknown things as well. It turned out, even the safe bet food took me by surprise. A chocolate chip cookie is a chocolate chip cookie but you add cooking methods used by different ethnic groups and you can find some nuances in how the final cookie tastes. Panaderia is just that. Offering you things that you are familiar or unfamiliar with but adding a bit of Mexican-style of baking to it. My treats were delicious and I have been wanting to go back to get more and to try their pizza out.

Have not had much history with this place but if you want Mexican baked goods/sweets/snacks, this place seems like a good place to start. I ordered tamales for pickup for a holiday meal. They were ready when promised, they were good sized, and fair price ($1.25) each. The bakery seems clean but was pretty unorganized when I was there, the day before Christmas. The man at the register, who was probably the owner, was very pleasant to talk to.

I was very surprised with this place. I hesitantly went here on the recommendation of a friend. The shop is very cute, and they do have a lot of authentic. I ordered the torta and the burrito. They were both delicious. I recommend this place to anyone who wants legit food at a good pricethe mural outside is pretty cool too

I got a recommendation from a friend about their churros. I called the day off and was able to pick up 30 within the next hour. I asked for them cold so I could bake them at home and they gave me precise directions with a little extra sugar to roll them in. It was the hit of our dinner and the best churros I have ever had. Will definitely go back and get more soon. Highly recommend.

on point! authentic family-run business and everything they make really tastes like it came from inherited recipes that stood the test of time. the Mexican-style pastries are light and flaky, and they have several menu options like tacos and burritos that are made fresh to order.

Visited once and Icam hooked. Awesome mexican sweet bread. I had a sreak burrito and corn. Steak was cooked pefectly. Burrito was so big, I ate it for dinner and breakfast. The corn was placed in a cup. It was tasty but I wish it was left on the cob.

We'll come again. But next time I'll eat less to save room for the desserts.
