    Jamon Iberico sandwich €5.90
    Randy F.

    Our visit to Madrid may be short, but we loved the food and the culture One of our first stops was Chocolatería San Ginés famous for their churros and warm melted chocolate The churros are a touch savory rather than sweet or sugar covered and the chocolate has a hint of bitterness to go alongside its rich flavor Since I was in Spain, I, of course, ordered a sandwich of Jamon Iberico because pork is everywhere here and Iberico is the king of pork Chocolate con 6 churros €5,50 / mollete de Jamon Iberico €5,90 Chocolatería San Ginés (Madrid, Spain)

    Churros and chocolate!

    Came at an off time- although it's open 24 hours a day so you just have to stop in when there isn't a line. Churros are light and not greasy and the chocolate isn't too sweet. It's thick and warm and creamy and almost like a pudding. Amazing.

    Tourist rich area of town for chocolate and churros. Arrived in the late morning mid week and no line. Order at the register and then find a table. We ordered: 2 chocolate & churros 1 bacon & eggs breakfast 2 sandwiches Loved it all but the chocolate was too much for 4 people. Should order 1 chocolate and 4 orders of churros. Other breakfast items were excellent - especially the bacon and eggs.

    Everything you have dreamt about and more.

    I have been waiting to try authentic Spanish chocolate and churros for many years and San Gines was worth the wait. Please take my advice and get a minimum of 6 churro with your chocolate order.

    This is the second location of Chocolateria San Gines. The original location in center of the city has long lines. If you are staying near this location and want to see what is the hype about, then go to this location. I ordered a plate of Churros. They come with chocolate syrup. They also gave me a Porras to try. Didn't like Porras. Churros was good and so was the chocolate syrup. Syrup is not sweet, so balances out the sugar in the churros, but couldn't balance out the oil. But, it's an extremely heavy dessert. One plate can be shared by at least 4 people, unless you have a super sweet tooth. Price is reasonable. I'm told this place sells the best churros in entire Spain. You should try them if you are a tourist, but don't go with high expectations! Unless you are a big churros fan, you'll be disappointed.

    I traveled land and sea and the search is over! I can finally rest my hot chocolate soul because I have found the best hot chocolate that I have ever had! It was the perfect send to my day, as the temperature dropped and the layers came on. Great warm by the delicious cup of joy. Chocolate joy that is! Release the serotonin! Let's not forget the churros, I have literally been heart broken because we don't have this in the states. Madrid here I come.. again!

    Churros on the go!

    Best churros ever. They are freshly prepared and served with the best hot chocolate sauce for dipping. The churros were nice and crispy on the outside and light and airy inside. I've had churros that have been too thick, dense and doughy but these were nice and light. Perfect to pair with the thick, rich, creamy hot chocolate sauce, which they don't skimp out on. You get 6 churro sticks and a full cup of hot chocolate with one order. Perfect for sharing-or not! You get your moneys worth with the size of the order and the quality of the food. You have an option to sit down and order with a waiter or order them to go at the window. The people are very friendly. Theres nothing more I can say to better describe these churros. Just go now! Churros are a great snack at anytime of the day so just go! Now! You wont regret going!

    The best hot chocolate place in Madrid with the churros freshly prepared. The hot chocolate is amazing. A place to go during cold autumn/ winter days. We keep on going back.

    Bill for two

    Mr. A's Famous 5 Point 5 Star Review Portion: 5 Stars (plenty of churros, I'm 6'3'' 210lbs and I was content after the six that were provided. Admittedly I don't have a sweet tooth) Atmosphere: 3 Stars (nothing special. Best to sit outside in the small alleyway) Service: 5 Stars (very fast. Waiter was nice) Food: 5 Stars (churros, latte, chocolate, and glass of milk were delicious) Value: 5 Stars (you get quite a bit of chocolate and church's for fairly little) Must go in Madrid. This is a typical breakfast and thus restaurant is the best at it. I'd probably go back if I was in Madrid again)

    Five star for Warm and crispy and not too greasy. The joy chocolate is thick but with the right amount of sweetness. It is actually pretty filling but I'd say this is a must try if you are in Spain. Haven't found it in Toronto so far.

    This chocolateria has been in business for over 130 years, so it was probably safe to assume they…read moreknow how to make chocolate and just as essentially, the churros upon which their chocolate clings. Based on the definitive opinions of travel vloggers, this appeared to be the place to get the fabled chocolate con churros. Jamie W and I made our way here through the labyrinth of streets near Puerta del Sol. It was early evening so no surprise there was a queue, but it moved quickly because this historic place was a model of efficiency. It's the type of place where you need to be ready to order the moment you're in front of the hostess. Luckily, we had made mental notes of what to order from one particular vlogger, so we were ready. It only took a minute to secure one of their marble cafe tables. Our order arrived fairly quickly. It consisted of a 2,5€ plate of Churros, six long sticks of chewy, delicious dough. Unlike the Mexican version, it wasn't dusted with sugar because the 3,7€ cup of Hot Chocolate was more than enough (Photo 8). Incredibly rich and only lightly sweetened. The churros might've been enough for a neophyte, but we double-downed with a 2,5€ order of two Porros (Photo 7). Porras are a thicker, doughier version of churros, so of course, they were our favorites because they really held the chocolate with assurance. Even though we went through two cups of hot chocolate, we still had 2,4€ cups of Cafes con Leche to wash it all down (Photo 10). It was an ideal dessert experience because who doesn't love awesome doughnuts? Definitely a must-gorge when in Madrid. FOOD - 5 stars...the motherlode when it comes to chocolate con churros...get the porros AMBIANCE - 4 stars...crowded but historically atmospheric with enough elbow room SERVICE - 4 stars...speedy TOTAL - 5 stars...pretty essential Madrid experience RELATED - Exploring Madrid?

Stepping into the alley feels like you're entering a vintage postcard. The workers were nice and I had a very pleasant time enjoying my churros and admiring the history and decor inside.

As I do anytime I see a window full of chocolates, I stopped to admire all the different choices, and then we were waved in by sweet, friendly Paul-Héctor! After chatting for a few minutes, he showed us the different types he had, which included some really unique choices like cava or almond and balsamic vinegar from Modena (the one I chose). He also has jars of different chocolate spreads-- I haven't tried mine yet but I'm sure it won't disappoint! Please make an effort to support this small shop, it was such a delight to find it today!

Fortunately for me, I'm attracted to bright lights, open store fronts, and men wearing funny hats. We wandered inside, noted the hot chocolate (1.50) sign, and walked away with a business card. Mental note made. I returned tonight searching for small gifts to bring to the US. I don't eat chocolate, but I appreciate craftsmanship, finely displayed chocolate, open kitchens, and high ROI (return on investment). Chocolala Belga achieves high marks across these categories. I hope my friends enjoy these delectable treats, big and small.
