About
A James Beard Award semi-finalist, Golden Crown Panaderia has been an Old Town Albuquerque institution since 1972. While primarily a Mexican bakery, their donut-adjacent offerings—empanadas, conchas, and fried pastries—represent the deep cultural roots of New Mexico's culinary heritage. The green chile bread alone is worth the visit. This family-run panaderia captures the spirit of New Mexico better than almost any other bakery in the state, blending traditional Mexican baking with distinctly New Mexican ingredients.
