El Manjar Bakery Enticing Locals and Visitors Alike


Many have said it’s difficult to find a good Mexican bakery outside of the Rio Grande Valley, and El Manjar Bakery doesn’t make things any easier. Named ninth out of 32 restaurants in Alamo on the TripAdvisor website, the bakery is very much a local favorite. El Manjar has been serving the citizens of Alamo for over six years and visitors from up north often make the trek to the bakery as well. Patrons from Waco, Texas and as far as Georgia and Oklahoma rave that the pan dulce is even better than some bakeries in Mexico.

Mouth-Watering Eats


El Manjar Bakery specializes in pastries and cakes but also has a menu for those enthusiastic foodies. They serve tamales, carbrita, lengua, menudo, pozole and some rather famous tacos. A fan favorite is the La Mexicana breakfast taco that contains a sweet sauce that’s sure to make your taste buds dance. Fresh corn tortillas also go great with the barbacoa served on weekends.

If sweets call your name, customers have quite a selection to choose from. A few popular cake flavors include tres leches, German chocolate, better than sex, banana split, piña colada and Oreo. All pastries are made fresh daily and customers simply fill a bag with whatever their heart desires as the price is determined by weight. El Manjar Bakery also creates cakes and elaborate displays for birthdays and quinceañeras, so next time you’re planning an event, keep them in mind!
