Lelac Bakery — Restaurant in Sparks

This quaint little shop is our go to place for some of the best empanadas around. For those of you that are not familiar with empanadas or maybe wondering what they are.... The Filipino empanada is made with chicken and has different vegetables like potatoes, green peas, carrots encased in a delicious outer pie crust shell that has a sweet tasting glaze over the top... I guess you could compare it as a travel sized chicken pot pie :)

While you're here picking up your empanadas, don't forget to pick up some Pan de Ube rolls and some Pan de Coco rolls to take home to possibly share with others...Lol :) If bakery items are not in your appetite, then be sure to check out their food menu which has a fantastic selection of non bakery items to choose from. If you talk to to Ken, tell him I sent you here :) Ken is great and is very catering to his customers; has great knowledge of all the items...

This is my kind of place. Good Filipino food and easy to grab. I would recommend going here early in the day/morning when the food is at it best. Be patient there are only a few people working here. This is not a big fast food chain. This is not a sit down place. You go buy your food and take it home. It is good for big parties if you want food for a big party or a big family you can request half tray or full tray. But they also have individual/small family sizes. This is a small mom and pop shop. I like supporting local stores. Good experience and will...

We bought the dinuguan today. Our first Experience was good, but not this time. The meat used was a mix of fresh and old or recycled meat. Some chunks of the meat were good but there are chucks that tasted like an old meat or recycled. It had a really bad taste of old meat. Food ended up in the trash. Money wasted! Will never...
