La Flor de Puebla Bakery V, 6300 Kenilworth Avenue, Riverdale, MD, 301-699-8657 (Metro Trip Planner – opens in new window) [WaPo (scroll down under Bakeries)]
A real Mexican bakery, lovely stuff. I don’t usually cover bakeries, but they also sell chile tamales for a dollar a piece. Worth it every time, stop in if you are in the neighborhood.
I agree, really really authentic. I’ve been in the US for 6 years and this is as close as a real mexican taco is. Nostalgia came in the first bite, loved the huaraches too and there is nothing to kill a hangover like a pancita or a caldo de camaron. Recommendations for the jukebox: Album 34 “encuentros a toda madre” listen to “contrabando en los huevos” 🙂
