Full menu

  • ConchaA soft, brioche-like bun topped with a crumbly sugar crust scored into a seashell pattern, sold in vanilla, chocolate, and pink strawberry versions.
  • CuernoA crescent-shaped sweet roll, somewhere between bread and croissant, with a tender crumb and a sugar-dusted or glazed top.
  • OrejaPalmier-style puff pastry rolled in sugar and baked into ear-shaped spirals that caramelize into crisp, glassy, buttery layers.

Galletas y Polvorones

  • BesoTwo domed, cake-like halves joined with strawberry jam, then rolled in coconut or sugar to resemble a kiss; soft, sweet, and fruity.
  • CoyotaA thin, flaky disc from Sonora filled with melted piloncillo, offering a crisp shell and a molten, molasses-like brown-sugar center.
  • CortadilloSheet cake cut into squares and spread with bright pink sugar frosting and sprinkles, moist and simple with a vanilla flavor.
  • Polvorón de NuezMexican wedding cookies made with ground pecans, baked into small balls and rolled in powdered sugar for a soft, nutty crumble.

Empanadas y Rellenos

  • Empanada de PiñaA sugar-crusted turnover packed with sticky pineapple jam, its soft pastry shell giving way to a bright tropical bite.
  • Empanada de CamoteFilled with smooth sweet potato purée scented with cinnamon, this turnover is mellow and earthy, with a sugar-sprinkled crust.
  • Empanada de CremaA tender turnover holding a vanilla pastry cream filling, dusted with sugar; mild, creamy, and popular with kids.
  • Churro RellenoA ridged fried churro rolled in cinnamon sugar and filled with cajeta, chocolate, or cream, crunchy outside with a gooey center.
