La Espiga Dorada

They are really bad don’t go there I have went there 2 times for. Cake and they missed up I had birthday party and they did not put what I siad to put

Yes I love! They have my favorite pastry here for $ 1.25, I was sold! It was moist and delicious! Their other bakery items looked awesome as well!

¡Riquísimo!
When the bread is fresh, it’s delicious! I end up getting carried away and buying bread for other people as well lol When it’s not fresh, I throw a mini tantrum (on the inside) and leave empty handed. Thankfully though, that rarely happens!
The location is great if you live in the Beaverton area because it’s closer than other panaderías in Hillsboro.

Service sucks — BUT they have the BEST Mexican bread in town… Worth the drive for me. Try the «Conchas» Delish!!!

Their conchas in the morning are perfect, like a love-​letter to the local community. They have the best Pan Muerte, Café de olla nescafe, and will put up with my spanish. The pan rellenos are amazing and super fresh tasting.

What a great little bakery. Went here after having a major craving for some Mexican pastries and was quite impressed. Get here before 5pm and know that there is a front door. I almost walked away thinking the back door was closed.
Anyway, I’m not well versed in Mexican baked goods but everything looked delicious. The person manning the shop kindly greeted me. I’m a little adventurous and just decided to pick a few things off the shelves. I don’t know what I got but one had some pineapple filling, one had coconut filling, and the other two were unfilled. Even though it was the end of the day, the pastries were still pretty moist and flaky. I told the worker I knew nothing about the pastries and she gave me a description of each of them. Really great service and I spent no more than $ 4 for four items. Will be back to pick up for the office.

First time here and planning to return soon. Lots of different options. Very good and fresh. I didn’t know what was in everything so picked a random variety that looked good. Whichever one had coconut filling was super delicious. I noticed a lot of reviews said the customer service wasn’t good, but I didn’t find them to be unfriendly at all. Also thought I saw a review mentioning cash only. They accept card with a $ 5 minimum… which is pretty easy to do here. Got 5 pastries and a quart of milk, all for $ 7 something.

This is a great place to buy cheap baked goods. I brought in some treats to work and it only cost $ 5. I must have grabbed about 10 different items. Not sure what the items were that I picked up but they all tasted good! I will be returning to try more!

I can gain lots of weight if I went to this place as much as I really want to. Their conchas are fantastic, my 4 year old begs for them!

This place is the bomb. It is cheap. How cheap? I bought a box of conchas for a group of students (about 13 large pastries) plus a dense ham+cheese loaf for myself and it came out to $ 9.20. Keep in mind, one concha is about the size of 2 donuts.
I work at a school down the street, and this is my go-​to for PTO meetings, class parties, etc. Do yourself a favor and stop by in the morning. Warm, fluffy pan dulce is exponentially more satisfying than the stale mid-​afternoon fare. Unfortunately, that’s the version most people are acquainted with, which is perhaps why Mexican baked goods get such a bad rap. I love the tray-​and-​tong method (I’ve never enjoyed gawking over tall pieces of cake through a glass counter) and am rarely put off by a little surliness from the bakers: usually they are just trying to get by with a hot tray. The ladies behind the counter are sweet and will entertain your meddling attempts at Spanish.
So far my only discomfort at La Espiga Dorada has come as a result of trying to leave the parking lot: turning back onto 185^th across two lanes of oncoming traffic is a bitch. Otherwise, the location is very convenient.
Oh, and I hope they start selling smaller quantities of milk. Sometimes I want, yknow, maybe just a pint of milk to go with my breakfast, not 2 gallons. But I get it. Costco is so very close.

It was my first time at a Mexican bakery so I don’t really have anything to compare to. I didn’t know what most of the breads were so I asked the girl who was refilling the bread and she was really unfriendly unwilling to tell me what things were. I don’t believe it was because her English was bad because she seemed to communicate fine when I was checking out. Nothing had labels and prices so it was really hard to know what I got but I ended up picking a couple colorful different breads. From my picture, my favorite item was the one on the bottom. It’s a large slice of fluffy bread topped with whipped cream and chocolate powder. My second favorite is the middle left one which was a cinnamon flavored bread with cinnamon paste in the middle. Breads were good and I’d drop by again next time I’m in the area. I wish the people who worked there were nicer but looks like they have really good business with lots is customers coming in while I was there so perhaps they don’t care too much to impress everyone.

So CHEAP and So many options!!!
We came here for a quick grab and go dessert. When you walk in on the left hand side there are a bunch of different bakery goods. You grab a tongs near the cashier and a metal tray and help yourself. A lot of the desserts don’t have names tags next to them or price tags. I asked one of the staff members and she said she didn’t know what each pastry was but everything taste good. So we grabbed at least 8 different things (medium to large items) and our total came out to $ 14.
On the right side it looks like there is a small grocery store and they have several mexican candies… Pica Fresca being my fave!

Location is easy to get to. Private parking lot, which is nice. They’ve got a generic «Mexican» selection of other things besides their Panaderia goodies.
I came specifically for the tres leches cake. Nothing to exciting, but it was nice that it wasn’t ridiculously sweet. $ 3.50 for the size wasn’t too bad.
Don’t expect exemplary customer service. I nearly stood in front of the register waiting for the teen to get off of her phone to ring me out.

It’s okay, only good bakery that’s authentic Mexican. You get lucky if you get the fresh stuff, other then that don’t buy anything else.

I finally checked this place out based on Unilocal reviews.
I had never tried Mexican baked goods before, so I didn’t know what to expect, but I certainly hoped it was decent.
— Service: the lone girl at the store wasn’t friendly, nor was she helpful at all. I soon realized she was very nice to spanish-​speaking clientele. Oookay.
— Store: I walked in thinking it was a bakery, but turned out the baked goods occupied less than h alf of the store and the rest is all mexican knick knacks.
— Food: not surprisingly I had no idea what 90% of baked items I was looking at. Bought 6 – 7 goodies solely based on their looks. They were dirt cheap (including a flan I bought, the total was only $ 7.50)
I had a high expectation of churros, but sadly it was the worst churro I’ve ever had (was able to eat only 2 bites of it). A couple of the stuff I bought was light and not too sweet (will post the pics later), but the rest of my purchase was a total disaster; they were dense and tasted… well, let’s just say I grew up eating French baked goods and eating these today made me realize you do get what you pay for. What’s the point of a cheap price if the most of the stuff end up in the trash can?
Definitely not for me. I’ll be going back to my regular (French) bakery.

Ok, I seriously died and went to Panaderia heaven. one of the best selections of Mexican pastries I’ve seen in the Portland area, on par with Tienda de la Guadalupe in Gresham and the freshest tasting too (got there when the pastries were fresh out of the oven so I lucked out)
grab a stainless steel baking pan, a pair of tongs and load up on all this carb-​lard goodness. Ring er up at the counter and you’re set!
prices are around $ 1 for each item with cake like items costing $ 1.50. I just load up on the crispy/​flakey puff pastries. Wish I knew what was what aside from the few obvious stuff (churros, palmiers, and éclair-​boston cream donut) but be adventurous and grab whatever. Will be back!
(The place must be pretty famous to the locals cuz I saw lots of non-​Hispanic folks dropping in to pick up a few pastries)

One of the best conchas I’ve ever had in Portland. This is my favorite Mexican bakery. They really excel in their bread and the flaky pastires. For the cake they are average.
I’ve only tried a few other places but this place takes the cake.
Concha: Soft eggy warm bread with not too sweet topping. My favorite is the vanilla. I like to choose the items on the racks very tasty. Very cheap for the giant bun of goodness you get less than a dollar.
Oreja: I love their butterfly cookies too. I’m always on the lookout when they dip them in chocolate. Nice, crunchy and buttery
Cheesecake (Pay de queso): I had a cheesecake craving one day and decided Cheesecake factory was way too far of a drive. The Cheesecake here isn’t exactly like cream cheese, not sweet and very dense. I kinda like it, satisfied my cheesecake craving for less than a dollar.
Ojo De Buey: I honestly prefer Cinco 5 Mayo’s version. The cake wasn’t very good.
Neapolian: Very tasty filled with cream and fruit between the layers. Nice light snack.
Cream Horn: One of my favorites they have two versions. Custard filled or cream filled. I always pick the custard filled version.
Jalapeño Bread: Huge piece of bread of their crunchy baked goodness stuffed with cream cheese and jalapenos. Great for two meals for less for than $ 2

If you want a general idea of the place, Mr. Brooks did a great job in his review.
I just really wanted to chime in and mention that the quality of this place, the price, and the taste. is probably the best compared to any other Mexican sweet bread bakery I’ve tried. (Su Casa Imports, Yesenia’s, Mercado Mexico, La Cabana etc)
They constantly bring out fresh baked goodness throughout the day and varying from day to day might even have a few different selections to choose from.
I recommend trying a slice of Tres Leches cake they keep in the fridge. I think it’s $ 3 for a good sized slice. :)

Best tortillas is Beaverton area!!!
Can’t speak to any other stuff they carry.
I admit it, it’s a little nervous to walk Ito a store where the primary language is one that I am not native to. I can actually speak ok Spanish, but I still get nervous wondering if the people are going to speak and I won’t have a clue what’s being said. That’s not a problem at all here. The employees all speak fine English and I was disappointed as I was hoping to practice my Spanish, but I did that anyways and I think/​hope they like it when people try.

What a gem! I saw an article on this place online and had to go try it. We bicycled 4 miles to get there, chained up to a tree in the parking lot and peeked into the questionable looking establishment. My worries were most unfounded. As other reviewers have mentioned, it can be a little overwhelming when you first go in. I asked the cheerful person behind the counter for some help as was on my way to getting some of the best baked goods in town!
All you do is grab a tray, some tongs, and anything that looks good. Take it up to the counter and they bag it up for you. If you have questions, ask! Everyone was super nice.
The bakers were bringing out fresh hot french rolls as we were making our selections. They were excellent. We found two big bags worth of pastries to take home and barely broke $ 5 (with a bottle of water included).
The Conchas (a Mexican sweet bread traditionally served for breakfast) were AMAZING. We tried vanilla and chocolate. They were sweet, tender, warm from the oven, and wonderful with coffee.
The french bread was wonderful and will keep us coming back for more.
We also tried what was described to us as «just bread with chocolate on it». Wow, what an undersell. It tasted like pound cake and was rich and delicious. The whole family enjoyed it.
Everything we tasted was amazing, fresh, and authentic. We were encouraged to try new things, taste something if we had questions and take a load off and eat something before we left.
I can’t recommend this place enough. What it lacks in ambiance it more than makes up for in quality, value, service, and adventure.
I am looking forward to going again as soon as possible so we can try new baked goods that we have never had before. It is more than worth riding 8 miles round trip to get to, even in the rain.
Do yourself a favor and go today!
