Bowie Bakery

We stop here every time we come down. My mom grew up en EI Chuco, so this is the spot we always recommend to anyone we know are coming down. I absolutely love their enpanadas de manzana, Pina, and the polvorones are a must. They sell tamales, but I was not a fan. Prices are great, and they are pretty busy, but service is fast. Love the fact that if you buy $15 dollars or more, they give you a bread bag for free, that's IF they have any. Let me know if you try it.

This is where the locals go for their sweet tooth fix. But not only! I asked a local which place has the best tamales... He didn't think twice and recommended Bowie bakery! Now this is my first time eating tamales, so I can't compare, but the place had quite a few people! Their tres leches cake is one of the best I have had! The rice pudding is quite good as well! It is an El Paso staple, so definitely worth a visit! Great people, friendly, helpful and patient! Recommend.

An El Paso lovers' favorite! Best sweet bread in town! Definitely worth a detour if you live anywhere besides South Central, and most El Pasoans do. Just know that the later you stop by, the more limited your options will be. Chocolate donuts, empanadas, sugar cookies and conchas. Hands down, the best.
