3rd generation3rd generation bakers

Our story begins with Alicia Nuñez and her daughter Claudia Fraide, born and raised in Acámbaro, Guanajuato, Mexico. Shortly after arriving in Salinas, Alicia brought her younger brother with her, Carlos Nuñez, a 3rd generation baker. The trio opened the bakery in its current location in Salinas in 2003. 

Since its foundation, Alicia and Claudia have been managing the business, exemplifying business grit and initiative on their way to accomplishing the American dream. When Carlos joined the team, he brought with him his baking expertise. Not only has he baked since he was a teenager in the late 80s, but his father and grandfather were also Bakers. It’s this tradition that Carlos brought to the famous “el famoso pan de Acámbaro”.

Our Ingredients

Creating bread that stands the test of time (or 3 decades!) is remarkable. There are two parts to our recipe. One part involves the use of high-grade flour, fresh local eggs, quality milk. As for the other part, well, it’s a secret. While we won’t disclose the secret, if you want to know what a secret tastes like, all you have to do is take a bite into our freshly made bread!

Baking Twice A Day

While most bakers bake overnight, we bake twice daily: one shift goes from 3am to 10am and the second from 12pm-5pm. For this to happen we brought on another great baker “Don Charlie,” as he likes to be called, who hails from the capital city of Mexico. Despite baking twice a day since 2003 we haven’t changed our classic style even a smidge in over three decades, thus preserving our family’s recipe and ensuring that our bread is baked the way it was intended to be.
