Love love Churreria El Moro! It's always a great sweet treat to grab a churro (or two). On a recent trip we got the seasonal churro for Oct which was churro covered in black sugar flavored with orange blossom water and the churro ice cream with strawberry, vanilla and chocolate ice cream. Both were delicious but I especially loved the ice cream and mini churro combo. So so good eating the cold ice cream with the warm churros!
Very good average churros. Being Hispanic descendant and having tired so many in my lifetime this do not stand out. It is nice that they make them in front of you and you can see but other than that nothing special. The cafe is very nice and well located. Great for a morning coffee and dessert or evening better for a night cap from being out and about in the city. Service was great fast and they never kicked anyone out even though it was close to shutting it down for the night.
I had high expectations for this place but left feeling a bit underwhelmed. I ordered the churros and hot chocolate (light and sweet), and while there were some good elements, it wasn't quite what I was hoping for. Churros - Prettt oily and coated in a thick layer of sugar--so much so that I had to flick some off to make them more enjoyable. Without all the excess sugar, they tasted much better, but I still couldn't get past the lingering greasy aftertaste. The texture was nice, though, and even after dipping them into the hot chocolate, they stayed crispy, which I appreciated. Hot Chocolate - The best part of the experience. It wasn't overly sweet, which balanced the churros well, and it had a nice, smooth consistency. If I were to come back, it would probably be just for the hot chocolate. Overall, not a bad experience, but not great either. The churros weren't as enjoyable as I had hoped, and for the price, I think I'd rather try another spot next time.
Yummm such good churros especially when fresh and hot. Variety of dipping sauces including chocolate, condensed milk, and chocolate vanilla. The churro ice cream sandwiches were good in theory but churros got hard quickly
We had seen this place all over Instagram, so we decided to try it on our first night, and it did not disappoint. Service was very friendly! The place is beautiful with the tiles on the wall, and clean. The churros were perfectly crunchy, with the right amount of sweetness from the sugar and cinnamon coating. The chocolate dip was amazing. It had a rich, velvety texture. We also tried the Mexican chocolate, and it was so good! A perfect start to our trip!
Best churros in CDMX! This place is so worth the hype, there's a reason they have so many locations around the city. You gotta go with the classic chocolate dip: it's rich and balances perfectly with the sugar and warmth of the churro. The wait was definitely pretty long, so don't go if you're looking for a quick sweet treat. But otherwise, this place is definitely worth a visit. It's such a bright, fun vibe and a great way to spend time with friends with a true mexican churreria experience!
For me it was over hyped. The churro we received wasn't warm and the person at the counter was making fun of my appearance.
Kept hearing amazing things about this place so I had to try it out when in CDMX. Went here on our first night for a late dessert after dinner. I tried their packet of four churros and a strawberry milkshake. I opted to adding whipped cream and marshmallows. It was soo good! The churros were also amazing! We decided to go back before leaving. I got four churros and Mexican hot chocolate this time. I also got their cajeta to dip my churros in. I was not a huge fan of the hot chocolate, I wish it was a bit sweeter. The cajeta was amazing! It was a bit difficult to dip the churros in because it was so thick, but delicious nonetheless! The actual place is a bit small and can be crowded if busy. Both times, local musicians showed up, one doing a freestyle roast. Wish I would've tried their churro ice cream sandwich. I definitely recommend this place!
The churros are great but so are the chocolate drinks and coffee! The churros are made fresh, crunchy and not oily at all. We shared 4 churros with cinnamon sugar and every bite was delicious. We also shared an order of the consuelito, a mini ice-cream sandwich with coiled churros on each end. This got quite messy because the hot fresh churros were melting the ice cream. So this is best to enjoy as a whole bite into your mouth. This was a great afternoon dessert break and I wish we had more time for another visit. I did noticed in general in CDMX the dipping sauce lechera/condensed milk they water it down so it gets very drippy.
I fell in love with this place the moment I laid eyes on it. The churros are always freshly made, and if they're not, they remake them for you. The chocolate mexicano was delicious on its own, but I couldn't have anticipated how well it would complement the churros. Overall, it wasn't as sweet as I expected, as the chocolate had a bitterness reminiscent of dark chocolate.
For the post Navidad celebration, I ordered a 12 pack of churros and 3 Mexican hot chocolate drinks for three people. Their entire process was pure awesomeness, from the system that they have in place to cook the churros to their final preparation. It literally took them less than two minutes to prepare the churros, and complete the hot chocolate drinks. Both the churros and the hot cholesterol included tons of cinnamon. This place appeared to more of a small cafe style setup which seemed nice. I've tried churros from one of their other stores and they did not disappoint, and I'm sure that these churros will have the same greatness.
Churrería El Moro was phenomenal! If you have a sweet tooth, you'll enjoy this place. They had freshly made churros and other desserts for a very cheap price! Everything is made to order and they can also make accommodations if you don't want too much sugar. They also had many dipping options. The indoor upstairs seating area was beautiful. Everything was decorated for Día de los Muertos and there's a view of the town. The staff were also so warm and welcoming. The young man in front helped me feel better about my Spanish and greeted me with a smile. Thank you!
My new obsession in Mexico City! You can watch the churros being made and decorated from scratch. My absolute dream dessert was the consuelo- ice cream sandwiched by churros shaped as a circle. Amazing! The morritos was a perfect shareable bowl- bite sized churros that you can dip in your ice cream, coffee, hot chocolate, or enjoy by itself. If you ever miss a chance to visit, there is a location at the CDMX airport in terminal 1. Last stop to enjoy Mexican dessert !
I'm a fan of the Churrería El Moro churros. The churros can't be beaten. They've got the recipe down pat! Churros from El Moro are perfect in every way: crunchy texture on the outside, soft and chewy on the inside, and generously doused in cinnamon or regular sugar, whichever you prefer. They also last for a fair amount of time; they don't go stale quickly. We were holding on to a few for more than an hour, and once we were ready to eat them again, they were still good! Of course, churros are best eaten while fresh. I love how the chain occasionally has seasonal ice cream flavors to pair with their consuelitos. Last time we visited, the seasonal flavor was matcha. This time it is mango. Both flavors I love! This place gets 4/5 stars because of the general lack of cleanliness in the seating area and the bathroom. read more
Mexico City. A churreria established in 1949, El Moro is easily one of my favorite places en la ciudad. You can get freshly made churros. But you don't want it to go. You want to have your freshly made rolled in cinnamon brown sugar, with one of 4 dips: hazelnut, condensed milk, guava, Dulce de Leche as soon as you get them, so grab a table. And I am in heaven with hot crispy churros and a hot chocolate. They also have tortas here and different coffees. El Moro is such an institution that on Christmas Day families would come here even after a large Xmas meal, for a reward after their evening walk: a churro and a hot chocolate or a café de olla. Honestly, Outside of a gelato in Italy, there is no place Ive enjoyed a hot chocolate and a coffee, after an evening walk, as I have at El Moro in Mexico City. As a parting errand before my flight home, I'd grab me a torta, churro and a Oaxacan chocolate (sans dairy) and my trip to Mexico is capped sated.... End of Yelp read more
El Morro was our second stop during the trip. I really wish I could have made it back because it wasn't everything I hoped it would be. We arrived about 30 mins to an hour before closing. 1. They would not let us sit inside at an empty table. 2. The churros were not hot and they clearly were not going to make any more. 3. Even though we ordered six total and all cinnamon, they tasted like the apple sugar from the bin next to the cinnamon had a baby and mixed the flavors. It was easily just an issue with timing because a place this popular gets the benefit of the doubt. I would definitely go again but make sure I'm there and get fresh churros next time. read more

Very popular and recommended, this place had all of the aesthetic appeal. The white and blue tiling throughout is cute and very picturesque. Though it was busy, the line moved quickly and seating was plentiful. We got four churros and a chocolate dipping sauce. While it was great value, the churros fell short for me. They were entirely too crispy and too oily, no doughy inside or fluffy relief. The balance of sugar and cinnamon was lacking and I found them to be too sweet, especially with the rich chocolate sauce. I"m glad we went to experience this place, but I think you can find better churros in Mexico City. read more

You cannot come to Ciudad de Mx without having the churros and a cup of coffee. They have several establishments across the city, all the same. We came here for a late snack after dinner. No regrets! Not only are these the best tasting churros that I've ever had, they are also the longest churros I've ever had! It has the perfect crunch on the outside while still soft on the inside. With each bite, you get the perfect balance of sugar and cinnamon. They always have a high volume of customers. So be patient, and wait. You have to stand in line for a while, place your order. Seating is limited. So, while you stand in line, have someone wait around for an available table or simply take your delicious treat home. read more

We loved this place! The service was amazing and they were so friendly with my kids. The churros were freshly made and so delicious. We also enjoyed the coffee. Definitely a place to visit while in Mexico, it's so cute, authentic and you just want to sit for hours to enjoy the most delicious churros! read more

Tried this place on my vacation to Mexico and it's definitely hyped up. Yes it's good, but I've seen comments that obsess over them and say they're the best churros ever. Definitely not the best churros I've ever had, but they're good because they're fresh. Wish they were stuffed instead of the dip cup, but overall, they satisfy any churro craving. I got a pack of 4 with a lechera dip cup. I'd say 4 is too many for one person, me and my partner shared and even 2 felt like enough. I'd get one big one for one person unless you are a super sweet tooth. read more
Consistently good churros walking distance to the hotel I'm staying at . Friendly and fast service . I would have eaten there but the tables aren't as clean ( which I'm Sure has something to do with the patrons as well as the restaurant) . read more
Modern churro shop for tourists and locals alike (mostly tourists). El Moro provides quality churros with two different coatings -- sugar or cinnamon sugar. You can also buy different flavor dips (condensed milk, chocolate, or cajeta) and milkshakes. The service is excellent. The counter staff work very hard to provide fast, quality service. There are also a few cafe tables and chairs for indoor dining. Since this cafe experiences a high traffic of people, it can get a little messy, so I would recommend getting your food to go. read more
We came here on a recommendation, and are glad we did. The Consuelos (think churro ice cream sandwich) were wonderful. Churros were still hot and perfectly crispy. We took our upstairs where there are a number of tables and watched people on the quiet pedestrian mall out front. My partner had a Mexican hot chocolate that she really enjoyed, too. The staff was friendly and got our handmade order out to us quickly. This is a chain, but they keep to their long traditions. Definely worth a stop. read more
Pictures don't do this place justice. Modern tourist spot to get your churro fix in. We split four churros with the two of us and we were stuffed to the brim. Honestly, you could be good with just one to split and the dipping sauce. You have 4 options of dipping sauces, and we chose the vanilla cream one. So good, but so sweet. Be prepared to make a mess and have sticky fingers, but that's part of the beauty of churros! read more
This place definitely hits my churro craving. I came around in the afternoon and ordered one churro. Yes, one churro. I wasn't sure how good it would be but I was surprised. It's one of the best churros that I've had. It wasn't that expensive. I would say it's reasonably priced. The cashier was nice to help me figure out what to order and the vibes are really nice during the fall and cooler season. I would come back next time when I'm in CDMX. read more
The lines long but the wait is worth it - 4 churros for like 50 pesos. You get to your order and you ask what this flavor is and the man hands you a whole churro to taste. Call that great customer service! We also got the cafe de ollo (spice coffee) and it was surprising delicious to pair with the churros. If you walk a few blocks down, you can enjoy the centro while chewing on your hot churros! read more
Churreria El Moro, churr'all I've ever wanted. If you make your way to El Moro during your Mexico City trip, I recommend getting the churros rolled in cinnamon and pairing them with an Español hot chocolate, which is a thicker and perfect for dipping. We visited a few times and tried the Mexican hot chocolate, especial hot chocolate, Horchata milkshake, and cajeta dipping sauce as well (yes, my group was churro'd out by the end of our trip!). Overall, a must visit for those looking for a sweet treat from a local purveyor. read more

Loved the churros here. I got a churro and chocolate milkshake for my late night treat. Enjoyed a lot. They have plenty of tables and chair to sit and enjoy the churro with the drink. read more

Legendary churro chain in Mexico City. Look for the telltale white subway tiling and throngs of people (somewhat socially distanced) and seek the enticing scent of deep fried cinnamony dough, and you'll know you're in for a treat. This shop is open-air and little more than a covered walkway with a window to order. Hand sanitizer was provided near the window, as were napkins. There's tables scattered around the sidewalk outside but those are frequently occupied and even if you find a table, there's no guarantee there will be chairs. Luckily this is on-the-move food unless you like getting fancy with your dips. Churros are, well, churros. Your goal should be to get some quantity of warm, crispy, cinnamon-y carb sticks and then sample a dipping sauce. Personally, I enjoyed the churros alone but the Malteadas (milkshakes) are good if your sweet tooth is insatiable. The Paquetes, essentially combo deals, are not that much more of a deal than getting things individually so you don't have to worry about missing out if you're torn between several menu items. While you wait, feel free to ogle at the employees toiling away over the hot oil backstage (through a window) as they make these delicious fried munchies. read more
Visiting at least one location of Churreria El Moro was on my list for our first visit to Mexico City. Started by a Spanish immigrant to Mexico in 1933 as a churro stand in the Zocalo, it now has multiple locations in the city (its first location opened in 1935)! We stopped by this location for an afternoon snack. They offer churros (by piece or an order of 4), dips (chocolate, condensed milk, cajeta), hot chocolates (lots of varieties), milkshakes, coffees, ice cream/churro sandwiches, and some savory snacks, too! We ordered two churros with chocolate for dipping and a hot chocolate. The hot chocolate wasn't my favorite (a little bit grainy? and maybe a little watery somehow too?), but the churros were great - such a fun snack/dessert/treat - loved sitting outside and people watching while enjoying a yummy churro! read more
Heaven is a churro, and these were the best churros that I've ever had in my life. I went here twice in 7 days just to make sure. The Churros are soft and pillowy, and so fresh. The dipping sauces are insane, my favorite being the condensed milk and the dulce de leche. Customer service is on point, everyone was so nice here. With 4 locations across Mexico City, I can confidently say if you're a churro fan this spot sets a whole new level of amazing. read more
For around $20 MXN (or about $1 US) you can get a whole lot of churros. The only problem is they sometimes come out a little over-fried for my taste. Yes, they should be crisp, but not to the point where I have to put some muscle into it. If I have to struggle, imagine what kids must go through? The good news is they offer a churro ice cream sandwich, which softens up the churro. In fact, they offer a trio sampler of slightly larger than bitesize sandwiches with three different kinds of ice cream (chocolate, vanilla and Oreo). This may be as close as it gets to heaven on earth. But you have to somewhat rush through this experience unless you want your ice cream to turn to soup. The hot churros melt it down pretty quickly. read more
