Golden Crown Panaderia

"Absolutely amazing. The empanadas are on point and the biscochitos are the kind of thing you write home to Mom about. I'm at the business owner and this is the kind of guy I like to give my money too. Hard-working honest go-getter. The sweet potato empanadas or a Savory guilty pleasure that I can't get enough of. Let's go back."

"Had the green chile crust pizza. Was delicious! They give out a free Biscochito cookie to try. Service friendly! Also had the turkey sandwich on green chile bread. Very good."

"I stopped by to pick up some local treats to gift when I flew back home to visit. I wish I got some stuff for myself because everything smelled amazing. It was torture driving to the airport with the cinnamon sugar smell of the empanadas wafting through my car. I did give in and eat one of the empanadas. It was very good. The folks are crazy friendly too."

"What a charming and unique little place! I am a Canadian visiting Albuquerque and my local friend brought me here. She had been coming for many years and highly recommended it. The place is small yet charming and quaint with very unique decor at a homey atmosphere. The young gentleman at the counter was extremely welcoming and kind to us. He greeted us with a free cookie as it is a policy for them to give kids a free cookie! This made us laugh, but made us feel very well. My friend ordered a personal pizza with a green chilli crust and I had a cinnamon sugar Tostada with a large coffee. When I placed the order, our friend serving us allowed us to see the tostadas being made in the back. So kind of him! The coffee was wonderful and the kind gentleman made it just the way I liked it. The Tostada was something very unique. It was crunchy sweet and a perfect pairing with my coffee . My friend’s pizza looked super delicious. We sat outside for a bit and then came to sit on the inside. Most people around us were families enjoying pizza. They sold entire loaves of bread as well as coffee to take home. They have a unique assortment of treats, including savoury treats, like green chilli and cheese twists. All and all I highly recommend this charming little establishment. I would probably be a regular if I lived in Albuquerque."

"Food: I am sure they’ve done a good job, but sweet empanadas and biscochitoes are not my thing, I prefer churros more. Service: the owner was very nice, gave us some free biscochitoes even though we just bought one apple empanada. Atmosphere: the bakery is located in a suspiciously quiet neighborhood, doesn’t feel very safe. The building itself is adobe style with painted murals, giving you a hand-crafted, old-world feeling. If you like empanadas or Mexican-style pizza, you probably should try it."
