La Fiesta Bakery — Restaurant in Las Cruces

I was looking for something other than Dunkin doughnuts (which I think very little of). After reading through the reviews of the local bakeries, I picked La Fiesta Bakery and I'm glad I did.

I arrived and there was no wait. The employees keep it moving so the most time you spend in there is choosing what you want. I chose the raised glaze, the glazed buttermilk, and the chocolate cake doughnuts. They all exceeded my expectations. The raised glaze was light and fluffy with the perfect amount of glaze. The glazed buttermilk was a little dense as you would expect a buttermilk doughnut but still light and fluffy with the crispy exterior. The chocolate cake was nice as it was a touch larger than other cake doughnuts you find but the fluffiness was there along with the slightly crisp exterior and chocolate icing.

I'm surprised this bakery isn't larger than it is because they make Dunkin's doughnuts look like what you find in a supermarket which is mediocre at best. I think when I'm done sampling the doughnuts, I'll start sampling the Mexican pastries. If the reviews are as on point as the doughnuts, I'll be busy with this bakery for a long time.

La Fiesta Bakery, you...

This is the best bakery in town in my book. It's simply baked goods done right. None of the doughy, tough creations that you can find at other places around town here. If I want something fancy for a party, their light, delicious, melt in your mouth Mexican wedding cookies are always my go to. Doughnuts are delicious as are all their pastries. Plus, they have the best challah in town. Prices are reasonable. Service is quick and pleasant. What's not to love about this wonderful bakery?

Many don't realize that this small shop located in a strip mall just south of Save Mart on Valley is once again open full time with hours plainly posted to...

I just bought a raspberry filled donut. When I tried it, it had no filling whatsoever!

I called the bakery 6 times and their answering machine always picked up. It had a message from their hours of operation during the Christmas and New Year hours!

The fact that their machine has not been updated or the fact that they don't answer their phone during business hours is a huge disappointment. I made a special trip just to give them my business because I wanted to support a local business. Unfortunately, they lost...
