Concha

Conchas are a traditional Mexican sweet bread known for their soft texture and shell-shaped sugar topping. The name “concha” means “shell” in Spanish, inspired by the decorative pattern on top. They’re made from a sweet, fluffy dough with a crumbly sugar coating that can be white, brown, or brightly colored. Conchas are often enjoyed for breakfast or a snack with coffee or hot chocolate. More than just a treat, they’re a symbol of comfort, tradition, and family in Mexican culture. “Conchas are something I mostly like to eat in the morning before school,” Daniel Rojas (10) Said.
