El Moro Churrería

BOMB fresh churros, the original location is in Mexico City and they've been open since 1935. I love the neat uniforms and clean kitchen area which you can view as you are in line.The first time I saw a fresh churro spiral being made was on YouTube and I immediately went to Don Churros Gomez after. That place is traditional and a bit more new school, El Moro feels like you are eating history. Watching the giant spiral being taken out of the oil and cut is part of the experience here. If you've never had a fresh churro do yourself a favor and come here, it's much more airy and light when fresh and the taste is stellar. If you leave it for about 10 minutes it'll start to become dense and like the typical pre cooked churro so enjoy it while it's fresh!

Crispy cinnamon-coated confections can cause constant cravings! This popular CDMX churrería chain opened their first US location at the Mercado González. They are expanding to Echo Park, with plans to set up shop in other states in the future. The plaza parking lot was a zoo on a Saturday afternoon, I had to park by TJ Maxx and walk over. Their stall (puesto) is on the left side of the market near the bakery, the entrance closest to the outdoor patio. I stood in line for about 15 to 20 minutes, which wasn't too bad. You can view the kitchen through the large glass windows. They run a tight ship, constantly frying, cutting, and freshly coating new churro batches as fast as they can make them. Dips (caramel, chocolate, hazelnut chocolate, condensed milk) are $1 each or 3 for $2.50. They also have drinks, ice cream sandwiches, and merchandise. Online ordering is available, which may save you some time: https://northgatemarkets.namer.alohaonlineordering.com/Engage.aspx?#/engage/ordering/menu What can I say that hasn't already been said? These sugary spirals have a satisfying snap to them, each bite was heavenly. Perfectly crisp on the outside, soft on the inside, with the optimal amount of oiliness and sweetness. Ordering just one piece was a mistake. If I had stomach space I would've gotten a dozen!

When I went to Mexico City, I stopped by el moro quite a few times to get these delicious churros. When I found this place I was ecstatic. It's the same delicious churros although it's a little bit more expensive. There's always a line here however that is a good thing since you will be getting the freshest churros possible. I got a cup of mini churros to share. That cinnamon sugar goodness. You definitely should eat it as soon as possible because churros really don't keep that well I think.

Worth the hype! This is indeed the best Mexican churros in SoCal! There will be a line but it does move fast. The pro move here is to have someone wait in line to order while you go shop for any Mexican ingredients you might need from the grocery. I still wish I could get excellent Spanish churros here but absent that, I'll happily have these Mexican churros!

The line wasn't too long when we arrived. I got the Moritos and the Mexicano hot chocolate. The churros were crispy and coated with cinnamon sugar, which there was a lot left of in the cup. Would definitely come back if I'm ever craving churros! The mexicano hot chocolate was also really good. It's semi sweet with small chunks of cinnamon inside which I liked the texture of. Compared to the espanol hot chocolate, which was super thick (almost like pudding I feel like) the mexicano hot chocolate was thinner and silkier. The hot chocolate also made a great dip for the churros. The store is located to the left of northgate market's main entrance. There's a bakery shop right across from El Moro, which we visited afterwards!

I love going here whenever I go to Northgate, super fresh and made right there in front of you, fast service and has seating outside to eat your churro

Went on a Saturday afternoon and it was POPPIN! The wait was about 25-30 min to get to the cashier. We were not greeted and were given sarcasm when we asked about the different sauces offered. The wait was only about 5-10 minutes long and luckily some seating indoors opened up to sit at. No one comes around to clean the tables though so expect to clean them up yourselves (esp. when people leave sticky messes). Overall, great tucked away spot (inside a Northgate Market) and worth it if you need a quick treat! It also is a great snack while grocery shopping!I also will note that I got the gingerbread flavored churro and really liked it. It was subtle in taste but I liked the dough consistency of these churros.I've been to other Northgate markets but this one felt like I was transported to a little farmers market in another country!

What is not to love about a freshly made churro? Only the long line to actually get one The churros are made fresh right in front of you. They are lightly dusted with sugar and cinnamon. You can also get a small churro ice cream sandwich. They use real vanilla bean ice cream.

YA'LL! These are the best churros I've had. They're so worth it. I went on a week night dinner when it wasn't busy at all, so there were no lines. The churros here are made fresh to order, so you get them hot. They're the perfect amount of crispy on the outside and moist on the inside, without the cinnamon sugar being too overpowering. Ambiance of the store is casual since it's located inside a supermarket. There's plenty of parking outside too. This is probably my new go-to place if I'm ever craving churros and I'd come back again to try their drinks too.

These churros are sooooo good! I think the chocolate is unnecessary. But the little churro ice creams is delish! Eat them on the spot. They go stale quickly.
