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

Polvorón de NuezMexican wedding cookies made with ground pecans, baked into small balls and rolled in powdered sugar for a soft, nutty crumble.
Polvorón TricolorA thick shortbread cookie striped pink, white, and yellow or chocolate, with a sandy texture that dissolves into a vanilla-sweet finish.
Galleta de GrajeaA round butter cookie edged in rainbow sprinkles, crisp around the rim and slightly tender in the middle, a favorite with children.
HojarascaA delicate cinnamon shortbread, traditionally made with lard, tossed in cinnamon sugar after baking; very crumbly with a warm, spiced aroma.

Empanadas y Rellenos

Empanada de CremaA tender turnover holding a vanilla pastry cream filling, dusted with sugar; mild, creamy, and popular with kids.
