A second helping of Cuban comfort food has landed on FM 1960. Panaderia Las Delicias, a Cuban bakery and restaurant, opened its second Spring-area location at 4539 FM 1960 W in August 2026, expanding its footprint along one of North Houston's busiest commercial corridors.
The bakery's newest storefront sits inside the Sugar Pine Village Shopping Center, close to Bammel Middle School and the residential subdivisions that line FM 1960, according to the business's own website. It builds on the original location the bakery had already established nearby at 2054 FM 1960 W Rd, in the 77090 zip code near Bammelwood, as reported by Restaurant Guru. Officials confirmed the second Spring location had opened its doors, according to Community Impact, which first reported on the expansion.
What's on the Menu
The Community Impact report, written by Kennedy Thomason, details a menu built around Cuban staples alongside a few crowd-pleasing extras. Panaderia Las Delicias serves empanadas, sandwiches, spaghetti, and hamburgers, plus a lineup of Cuban specialties including Cuban pizzas, ensalada fría, cabezote, marquesitas, and other chilled desserts, per the same account.
The Cuban pizza on offer follows a distinct tradition: it's typically prepared in individual round pans with a slightly sweet, thick dough, topped with tomato sauce and a blend of Gouda and mozzarella, according to The Takeout. The style traces back to Cuba in the 1940s before becoming a fixture of Miami's food scene, often folded by hand rather than sliced.
Ensalada fría, meanwhile, is a classic Cuban cold pasta salad made with elbow macaroni, mayonnaise, diced ham, and sweet touches like pineapple or peas, as explained by CiberCuba Cocina. It's a dish that shows up at Cuban family celebrations, birthday parties, and holiday gatherings across generations.
Lesser-Known Sweets Worth Explaining
For readers unfamiliar with the dessert case, cabezote is a traditional Latin American bakery sweet: a large, airy meringue cookie with a crisp shell and a soft, marshmallow-like center, according to Postmates. Marquesitas, also on the menu, have their own backstory — the rolled, crispy waffle-crepe snack originated as street food in Mérida, Yucatán, around 1930, traditionally filled with shredded Edam cheese and sweet spreads, per culinary historian Rick Bayless. Both desserts reflect how Latin bakeries in Texas often blend Cuban staples with wider Latin American influences.
Panaderia Las Delicias is open daily from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m., per its website, and customers can place orders online through www.panaderialasdeliciastx.com. The bakery offers both delivery and carryout services for customers across the Spring area.
A Growing Cuban Footprint in Houston
The opening arrives as Houston's Cuban community continues to grow. The Houston metro area is home to roughly 107,000 Cuban residents, making it one of the largest Cuban communities in the country outside of Florida and New York City, according to a Pew Research Center analysis of Census Bureau data. Harris County separately leads the nation in total Honduran residents, underscoring how the region's Hispanic population has diversified well beyond its historically Mexican-American majority, per the U.S. Census Bureau.
Panaderia Las Delicias isn't the first Cuban bakery to find a foothold in Greater Houston. Hoodline previously covered the opening of Azucar Cuban Bakery & Cafe at 6465 Westheimer Road in the Mid-West neighborhood back in December 2019, where cafecito cubano and guava cheese pastries drew in local diners. The expansion also fits a broader pattern of Cuban bakery concepts growing multi-unit footprints nationally — Florida's Pinecrest Bakery, for instance, had grown to 25 locations by March 2026, Hoodline reported, reflecting rising demand for quick-service Latin American baked goods across the country.
