Pan dulce pride of Segundo Barrio
Bowie Bakery is a cornerstone panadería of El Paso's Segundo Barrio, its glass cases stacked with conchas, empanadas, marranitos, and trays of pan dulce priced for the neighborhood. You grab a tin tray and tongs and load up on Mexican sweet breads still warm from the oven.
A generations-old trademark of El Paso's border baking tradition, Bowie also turns out tamales, menudo on weekends, and celebration cakes — the kind of everyday bakery a whole community has grown up on.
