Fresh Bear Claws and Cochinito Cookies Fill the Cases at This Family Panadería in Arizona

A plain brown box has a superpower in Arizona. Set it down at any office break room and heads turn, hands reach, and someone always asks where you got it. That box comes from a family bakery on the city’s south side where pig-shaped cookies, flaky pastries, and warm tortillas have kept generations coming back since the 1980s. Come hungry, and get there early, because the best stuff disappears fast. Finding La Estrella on South 12th Avenue © La Estrella Bakery Inc., Tucson, AZ Southwest Tuc
