What Concha is
Sweet bun with a crusty shell pattern on top.
Concha is listed as a bakery item in the Mexico guide, where the index tags it vegetarian. The index uses those labels to make an unfamiliar menu legible. What it cannot tell you is how this particular kitchen seasons, fries or plates the dish, so leave room to ask.
Where to find Concha
Concha is listed as nationwide rather than tied to one city, so it is a safe thing to look for wherever you land in Mexico. Bakeries sell out early, so go in the morning and follow the queue rather than the signboard.
The Mexico guide also covers 6 dishes and 2 bakery items; open the country page for the full menu and the other places in the index.
