If you’ve got a sweet tooth and a love for pan dulce, El Brunch Bistro Mexican Grill is rolling out conchas that are as big as your head — if not bigger.
Nearly a year ago, El Brunch Bistro opened its first location at 3053 S. Kinney Rd., quickly gaining a reputation for its oversized take on the classic Mexican pastry. Then, in November, they expanded with a second bistro at 1060 S. Kolb Rd.
Like many others in Tucson, El Brunch Bistro’s conchas are soft, fluffy, and sweet, topped with a crumbly, sugary shell. But here, they’re taking things a step further, baking conchas so large they barely fit on a plate.
Made fresh daily, they come in classic flavors like vanilla and chocolate.
Plus, they’re perfect for dipping in coffee.
Luckily, El Brunch Bistro has humungous mugs big enough for dunking.
Pair one with a hot café de olla or an iced horchata latte, and you’ve got yourself a breakfast worth bragging about. Additionally, there are quite a few breakfast and lunch dishes on the menu: tacos, tortas, tostadas, burros, etc.
Both restaurants are open daily from 6 a.m. – 8 p.m.
El Brunch Bistro Mexican Grill is located at 3053 S. Kinney Rd. and 1060 S. Kolb Rd. For more information, visit brunchbistromexicangrillaz.com and follow El Brunch Bistro on Instagram.

More about MattAt a very young age, Matt Sterner was gifted with the artistic ability to masterfully roll a burrito to the highest of standards, but the wrapped medley of delicious innards wasn’t his first love. Matt’s first true love was a combination of reading, writing, and creating. He grew up reading comics, the ingredients list of his shampoo and conditioner bottles, choose-your-own-adventure books, and the Scrabble dictionary — something he found useful when challenging his grandmother to a game.
He attended college at New Mexico State University and graduated with a degree in Digital Filmmaking. One of his favorite classes was screenwriting because he became responsible for the story’s birth before it came to life on-screen. After school, Matt took on numerous positions at a local television station in Tucson. From dealing out stories about heartbreak to producing “fluffier” content for a lifestyle broadcast, he learned what it takes to adapt to the many emotions the world of media can stir. Since 2017, Matt has dabbled in the culinary world of Tucson as well as San Diego, California from time to time.
If you’re in the mood for strange stories, head over to his pride and joy, wonkytimes.com. And in case you’re curious — yes, after all of this time, he still manages to roll a killer burrito.
