Panaderia La Central — Restaurant in Avondale

Don't bother coming here their food is so inconsistent. Believe me when I say, extremely inconsistent. I ordered a elote en vaso and it was extremely watery. When I said something about it to an employee as well as showed him how watery it was he was rude as he tried to tell me that it was due to the lime juice (it didn't taste like it had lime at all) along with adding the juice from the elotes. Excuse me, but I have had elotes en vaso or coctel de elote as they call it where I'm from and never in my life have I had it that way. It was flavorless and cold (given they heat the elote in the microwave). A good employee would have said, no problem let me make that again for you or asked if I wanted my money back. But this man argued his way out of it and I didn't have the energy to continue to tell a person the correct way to make an elote en vaso. I will definitely not be coming here again. Also, ordered an agua de jamaica and it took them about 15 minutes to give it to me as they had forgotten and I had to ask them...

Absolutely amazing, being from the East coast its sometimes hard to find good food that just tastes great, this is the place for all your bakery needs. The names of some of the items may be little different, but the food is not, cinnamon crisp, elephant ears and just a plain sugar cookie is like back home if not better. Bread and empanada's made right there are delicious. I love pecan crescent cookies (mostly made during the holidays), ask for a wedding cookie, tastes the same except make with walnuts. Like ice cream or milk shakes, forget about Dairy Queen or Baskin and Robbins Panaderia La Central is better and fresh. Want a plain fruit cup with a little homemade cream, its amazing, try it. Oh, did I mention how clean this place is throughout. You can see right into the kitchen with the big mixers and ovens, its all as spotless as the floors and display cases out front. This is a must go...

I ordered a cake over the phone to be picked up at 6 pm. I gave the lady the details of when I was picking up the cake and also what I wanted written on the cake. She told me I could pay over the phone or when I went to pick it up. I chose to pay when I pick up the cake. My husband went to pick it up at 5:30 and the rude and unapologetic lady at the counter told him that they couldn’t write on the cake because the lady that writes on the cakes was gone for the day and I should have paid it over the phone if I wanted something written on the cake. I was not told that when I placed my order. I was given the option to pay at the store and never mentioned anything about the writing. We obviously did not take the cake. I was recommended this bakery and will NEVER shop here and do not recommend it at all due to their unprofessional and...
