With the New Year and renewed goals for health and wellness, San Antonio staple La Panadería has expanded their popular menu to add new Power Bowl options. Each power bowl is made with organic mixed greens, rice, and pickled onions, paired with the guest’s choice of protein and La Panadería’s fresh baked bread. Guests can choose from the Avocado Power Bowl, Grilled Chicken Power Bowl, Hawaiano Power Bowl (with grilled pineapple and pork chops) or Mexicano Cubano Bowl (with bacon, Kiolbasa sausage, and ham).

Brothers José and David Cáceres opened bakery-cafe La Panadería in 2014 to share their Mexican heritage and love for baking with the people of their adopted hometown of San Antonio, Texas. The Cáceres’ passion for baking began when they were young boys selling loaves of their mother, Doña Josefina’s fresh baked bread on the streets of Mexico City. Eventually José and David took over their mother’s homegrown business and started baking on a large scale, supplying bread and pan dulce for businesses throughout Mexico. After finding financial success in Mexico, the brothers realized they wanted to get back to the basics, and they decided to bring their passion for bread cultura to Texas.
