Tortuga y pan dulce aka "The Turtle" and a sweet roll
Calvitos, again
Piña y queso crema croissant aka Pineapple & cream cheese croissant
Although I bake and bake like there is no tomorrow, I still like to purchase some baked goods every once in a while. Especially now that I am writing my graduate thesis, I am short on time for creating tasty morsels. However, when I do purchase baked goods, I expect them to be made with good quality ingredients, fresh, and have a great taste. I, like my whole family, am very choosy when it comes to any baked goods, especially when it comes to Pan Mexicano/Mexican Bread.
The Pan Mexicano pictured above was purchased at "La Panaderia San Fernando" located at 313 South Maclay Avenue, in San Fernando, California. This place has so many different pan dulces/sweet breads and pastries. One thing that sets this Mexican bakery apart from the others is that every single thing they make actually tastes great! No kidding! There empanadas/turnovers, Elotes, Tortugas, Novias, etc...are some of my favorite sweet breads. So, if you're ever in that area, check them out!
Since I don't have a lot of time to be baking right now, with school and writing my thesis, we have to have bread/sweet bread from somewhere! And, one of my favorite somewhere is La Palma Mexican Bakery in San Fernando, CA. I have been eating bread from this bakery since I was able to eat solid food as a toddler! And before that, my mom was eating bread from there when she was a little girl! Yep, this panaderia has a place in our family history, you might say. I love the variety of sweet breads, and the fact that everything tastes great! The breads in the pictures are the following: Tortuga (Turtle), Empanada (Turnover), Corona (Crown), Picon (no name translation here...it's just a great dense, yet soft bread with raisins inside...if that makes sense), and one other, but I forgot it's name. I really recommend that you go to this bakery some time. The prices are fair and the service is good. So, here's their address: 518 San Fernando Mission Blvd., San Fernando, CA 91340.
