'Pan dulce' (sweet bread) is the Mexican equivalent of what scones are for British people and Danish pastries for the Danes (???). They are sold in any "panaderia". From mantecadas (cup cakes) to conchas (lightly sweet bun with a crumbly outer coating -vanilla or chocolate), they are baked daily early in the morning (5:00) and around 18:00. Definitely worth trying. Do not be shy and mingle with the locals in one of these panaderias.
Anywhere in the city.
Updates
Don't forget to try 'pan de muerto' another version of 'pan dulce', made during the Dia de los muertos festival in early November.
