Tex Mex Bakery

Tex Mex Bakery on South Mobberly is a longtime Longview stop for tamales by the dozen, tres leches and Mexican bakery staples. Directory listings put the business at more than three decades of operation, which in the bakery world is a real accomplishment — it means generations of the same families have been picking up the same orders here. The tamale side of the business is what most people mention first, and ordering by the dozen is standard practice around holidays and family gatherings. Beyond that, the counter carries sweet breads, cakes and other everyday bakery items, with open hours running from mid-morning into the evening seven days a week. The building sits in a easy-to-reach stretch of south Longview, and the operation is wheelchair accessible. If you are putting together a party tray or just want tamales you did not have to make yourself, this is a name worth writing down.
