SO good! We went here this evening for paletas in celebration of Mexican Independence Day & loved it! We have already gotten into our baked goods & they are delicious! My kiddos loved the cookies & their churros were amazing. We actually drove 20 min across across the river to try this place out because we have heard great things. I have not found a Mexican bakery that I love on the Iowa side...so, I will happily make the drive for this place! The building was very clean & the staff were all super nice. They were patient & sweet with my kiddos too. We will be back soon!

Today was my first time coming here and the service was just amazing. They helped us pick bread and were very patient with us! We asked for bread and accidentally forgot about it and the lady brought it out to my car! This place is just amazing I will most definitely be coming back to this place!
