Anyone know a good bakery to get freshly baked bread. Id love if it was done in the bakery/ had their own starters. Any bread. Location does not matter. Will travel for food/bread.
Bonus if you know of any spots that have Colombian breads (pan de bono) iykyk Is that a thing here?
Do you have a spot to get chicharron?
Im new to PGH! Thanks!
Panadería Jazmín has authentic, fresh Mexican pan dulce (bolillos, conchas, pasteles tres leches, etc). Great place and the owners are also super down to earth, it’s tucked away in a small shop in Mt Lebanon
Tasty taquitos on Penn avenue and El Rincon oaxaqueño at the Strip have the best tacos I’ve tasted in Pittsburgh (both are food trucks).
Cilantro y ajo in south side has delicious arepas and Venezuelan food
Oddly enough best chicharrón I’ve had was from Muddy Waters (a seafood place) in East Liberty.
Enjoy!
Ive seen that panaderia, gnna check them out. Thanks!
Las Palmas on Atwood St has chicharrones in the back of the store by the butcher counter. For pan de bolo maybe try calling Colombian Spot on E Carson St and asking? I know a lot of the employees there are colombianos so if anyone would know it would be them.
The Panaderia also visits the Market Square farmer’s market.
I like the Great Harvest Bread Co. Their bread actually lasts a good amount of time if stored properly.
Kavsar (take out only place) has DELICIOUS freshly baked uzbek rounds (I think she bakes it to order because the orders take like 1 hr to prepare). They come all warm and toasty in a paper bag and ready for buttering. Best the same day but freezes well.
No idea where to get chicharrones (at least, Colombian style ones I want). Strip District Meats sells lengua, and I know that they worked with some Argentineans to get something butchered in a super-specific style for them. So, you could maybe ask there.
Also in the Strip District, Reyna Foods is the ONLY place around here that I've been able to find bola roja beans and other foods from Latin-America-beyond-Mexico. It's a very small store, though. There's a Colombian coffee and hot chocolate stand right outside Reyna foods, and I think that what I bought was an American croissant stuffed with bocadillo and cheese. They may have had pan de bono, but I'm not personally a huge fan and don't remember. (My guess is that none their baked goods are made fresh in the back of the stand, but I of course don't know that for sure.)
Super helpful thanks!
You're welcome! Please let me know if you get a solid lead on chicharrón.
What was the chicharrón dish called? I don’t think I see it on the menu
I think it might only be in their in person happy hour menu (has their oysters + some appetizers + drinks). I couldn’t find it online but I was just there last month and they definitely had chicharrón haha
Agree with Las Palmas except I would go to their Beechview location (IGA market on Broadway) if you don’t mind driving. They have fresher produce (nopales), cheeses and meat selection (including chicharrón).
This is what im talking about. The back if the store stuff :) thank u!
Im near beechview thanks!
