Leon Nuevo Bakery, Chicago, Illinois Restaurant Details

Food:

Love this place. There is this lady who is very nice and friendly she is always singing.

Food:

Best ever...I've been going here since I can remember...the sweet potato filled rolls are my most favorite of all!!

Food:

What a cool concept: you grab your tray and a pair of tong and pick your pastries out from behind the sliding glass door cabinets. I didn't really know what anything was and some of the items weren't labeled but who cares!?! This was FUN stuff. It can get super crowded and you have to be careful not to knock some one else's tray over. The cashiers keep the line moving fast. You can take your goodies to go or sit out side on one of the few tables.

The concept is probably better than the pastries. I'm sorry to say I have had better. There was, however, a pineapple empanada that I really enjoyed and would go back for.

They also sell house made tortillas in a variety of flavors. I got some made with some kind of chili pepper. mmmmm...I ate the spicy tortilla alone as a snack.

Food:

By far the best sweet bread & traditional pastry bakery in the area. Don' t pass on the flavored tortillas either.

Food:

Dirt cheap and the choice is OVERWHELMING. It's incredible. Do yourself a favor and buy a hundred macaroons. They're delicious. Just be sure to use the tongs and a tray. Be civilized, okay?
