La Flor de Izucar in Sunset Park serves up soft conchas, killer birria tacos, hearty burritos, and fresh handmade tortillas in a cozy, friendly spot.
"If you’ve been traumatized by dry, flavorless conchas in the past, the ones at La Flor de Izucar will fix you. The conchas here are face-sized, light, and delightfully springy, with a perfectly balanced flavor that goes especially well with a cup of cafe con leche or champurrado. This tiny spot in Sunset Park sells a wide variety of pan dulce as well as excellent tacos and tortas, and it’s the kind of place you’ll want to simultaneously keep a secret, and also tell all your friends about." - willa moore, carina finn koeppicus, kenny yang
"This Sunset Park bakery makes our favorite conchas and cafe con leche in Brooklyn seven days a week, but on weekends you can come here for excellent tacos, too. Grab a seat at the counter and watch the ebb and flow of regulars come through this popular neighborhood spot. Order the huevos a la Mexicana and you’ll get a plate of scrambled eggs with a heap of griddled vegetables, perfectly-seasoned beans, and tortillas. If the Sunday scaries have you hiding under the covers, this will make going out into the world feel worthwhile. " - carina finn koeppicus

"This is not only the best panadería in Sunset Park, it’s also one of the best in the entire city. The conchas here are soft and squishy in a way that will change your mind about conchas if you’ve only had dry, underwhelming versions in the past. They also have a full menu of tacos, burritos, and tortas, and all of them are very good. We especially love the chorizo breakfast burrito for mornings when we need our first meal of the day to really pull its weight. " - Carina Finn Koeppicus, Bryan Kim
