Stop everything because the concha elote has arrived in the CDMX! The Mexican sweet bread par excellence now pays tribute to different varieties of corn. Get ready to enjoy a delicious bread made with great attention to detail.
You will find it at El Volcancito restaurant, in front of the Portales Market. This dessert is vanilla flavored and represents corn such as cacahuazintle, yellow kernel corn, culli with purple kernels and even huitlacoche.
The totomoxtle (corn leaf) is also present and has a cinnamon flavor. Any of them cost $30.
