Elvira's Cakes: Authentic Mexican Bakery in Kansas City

We usually dine in or have quick stops for pan dulce (sweet bread), but today I placed an order through Yelp! The food was being prepared as I was arriving, Mary was attentive as I entered and said she was working on my order. The gorditas are fulfilling and delicious. In the past, we've had their Tres Leches cakes, gelatina on the cup, frozen treats, elote and tortas-- all very well served and yummy. Great service each time.

Tres LEches for THE WIN I love the Mocha Flavor. The snacks here are also good and I love the frosting work in the gelatin. They have a great selection pastries and snacks.

Yesterday was the 2nd time in the past couple of months that I have bought cakes at Elvira's for wedding celebrations of coworkers at my office. On both occasions I have received rave reviews from the staff of 15 and have even been told "this is the best cake I've ever had". Today's double layer Mocha Tres Leche was sublime with it's dense spongy interior, creamy frosting and fruit decoration. For $40 we fed 15 and the bride had plenty to take home to share with family and friends. A bargain in my book, and certainly not something that I could create at home. While I was there , I also had lunch. The barbacoa quesadilla was also a bargain for $6. A hot off the grill cheesy and meaty mess - and I mean mess in a good way! Lots of marinated beef chunks cooked in seasonings that took the quesadilla to a whole other dimension. With Thanksgiving week on us, I wanna give thanks to Elvira's for always making me look good at work with your amazing bakery and giving us those amazing and traditional Mexican taqueria style dishes from your kitchen.

Ordered a large Tres Leches cake and was pleased with it overall. Flavor was good. It had options for a filling with a few flavors to choose from. I prefer no filling but it didn't provide an option on their website when ordering to opt out. I chose a fruit filling and it wasn't overpowering. Cake was moist from the milks and the frosting was tasty. Ordering process was painless other than not being able to pass on a filling. Great spot to indulge in tres leches among other goodies. I will be returning to try some of their other offerings.

I love stoping in for lunch when time permits. Food is good, and plenty of options to choose from.

This place has it all and all of it is fantastic!! Bakery that bakes delicious cakes, bread and doughnuts and out of this world good food! A must to explore.

We stopped here today for Mexican bread. They had a large selection and it all looked yummy. We got a few pieces and they were very good. We'll be back.

The most delicious cake in Kansas City.!! Professional Services and responsible.! I bought a cake from there before and I will continue.! Customers have the options to choose his and what they want in.!! Love it.!
