Supreme Churros Sundae
Alyssa S.

The supreme churros sundae is delicious (5/5)! The service was quick. This business is located in a plaza at the Las Americas Premium Outlets so the ambience is upbeat. Music is playing in the background and there are areas to sit at nearby stores or by a centrally located fountain. The menu also offers mangoneada, chamango and raspados.

Great for outdoor events

If you are looking to have fresh churros with amazing toppings at your event, this is the place to go. Churros were legit made at our location, stand mixer and butter and all! They came out so quickly and fresh too! Amazing crunch and topped with the meltiest semi sweet hot chocolate sauce. There was also ice cream and assortment of toppings like dulce de leche, cherry, bavarian cream etc.

Chamango delight

Located in Las Americas outlet down south near the border. This place is worth the drive for yummy fresh churros! They also have beignets and I think funnel cakes. Also have fresh fruit drinks, smoothies, and other delicious drinks. But the churros are the best! They also come with chocolate dip. Will be back for more!

My guy and I thought these churros had such an amazing flavor! It's understandable why some people say these churros are some of the best this side of the border. Unfortunately, our churros were not fresh and you could easily tell as much. We both agreed this place would most likely be 5/5 stars if the churros had been fresh.

At first glance you think "this is just a churro" right? But this is the churro that ruins all other churros for you. I would drive 2 hours just to get churros from this little stand!! Freshly fried (that doesn't feel greasy) and generously coated in cinnamon sugar - it's so simple, yet they perfected it. The long line goes by very quick, and once you've had your first bite, you'll be tempted to line up again. Tip: Get the chocolate dipping sauce for a luxurious churro experience. They also have another location in Plaza Bonita mall in National City (you're welcome!)

Churros El Tigre was having a stand at my work and I really enjoyed them! They make their churros fresh to order so they were nice and warm! The churros also weren't too dense which I really enjoyed! They were nice and light. I really enjoyed the self serve toppings concept and I'm glad they served it with ice cream! The workers were also super nice and friendly! It was nice to see them working hard on their jobs! I didn't get their pricing for catering but I do know they will be on my lists for future events! I think they may have a location elsewhere, not too sure, but I highly reccomend them for some yummy churros!

I'm not exaggerating when I say these are the BEST Hot and freshly made, with a perfect cinnamon sugar coat, what more can you ask for in a churro? Located in a booth at the Las Americas Premium Outlet, Churros El Tigre makes these fresh along with other sweet treats like fried bananas, raspados, and more! Obviously by their name, the churros are the star of the show! It's a perfect snack to get while you're there for some holiday shopping. While they're good on their own, sometimes we'll also get the chocolate or cajeta to dip in if we're feeling a little indulgent lol They do have another location, but if I'm gonna be honest, I think they're noticeably better at this location!

The Coco Raspados with lechera were so good, the drink didn't even make it for a photo. Almost finished before I can give a review.

Small order with chocolate sauce on the side. A little undercooked, unfortunately.
Craig W.

The stand is located just outside the food court in the outlet mall. The churros are cooked to order so be patient. Premade churros are not so good. You don't know when or how they were made. I think our churros could have used a little more cooking. They were fresh and soft but maybe a little too soft. The chocolate sauce on the side was fine. These were probably not my favorite churros ever, likely because they were a bit undercooked, but I always appreciate freshly-cooked food.

I like a good churro and these were very good churros. Not only was the churro warm, fluffy, crunchy, and tasty and they had just made them right in front of us. They have a variety of add-ons like ice cream. Wow - what a good combo with ice cream and churros. They pair well together. But the fun didn't stop there - they had several toppings to choose from as well. Carmel, Chocolate truffles, Strawberry, Bavarian Cream, Dulce De Lece and even more. How delectable can it get. Warm delicious cinnamon covered churros, with ice cream, and a wide variety of toppings. I am still thinking about it a week later. Yum Yum.

These guys are fantastic!!! They keep it simple and have an amazing product and service. The churros are absolutely delicious, and they have ice cream and a bunch of sides/dips that the guests loved. The guests were raving about the churros, most went back for seconds, and they still had a lot of leftovers to leave us with (including ice cream that was too big for the freezer). We were so happy, and people are still talking about it. We had Big Boyz tacos cater the tacos and had the opposite experience - absolutely horrible, they forgot the two most important foods, and the owners were very unprofessional and annoying. Churros el Tigre was set to start an hour after the tacos started, and yet they both came to set up at the same time. Everything with the churros was exactly as planned and they even had a better place picked out than I did so the generator would not interfere with the party. Thanks, guys! I'm so glad to know that they have a spot in the Bonita Mall next to Panda Express now, too.

My name was spelled properly, a short conversation reassured my dessert choice, and as I walked up to retrieve my dessert, the lady met me halfway with a smile (thank you for wrapping so it didn't fall over). The smallest of gestures and niceties are what make leaving the house worth it. GIANDUIA. This cake is nothing you can be prepared for, yet everything you need without setting expectations. The boysenberry was the perfect separation for the waves of chocolate and the subtle crunch of the hazelnut toffee type of layer on the very top. The chocolate mousse was the exact mouth feel needed to separate the rich layers of chocolate cake. I saw, I conquered, and I was yet again impressed by what Extraordinary Desserts so purposefully and gracefully offered.

The decor and tables definitely gives you an old school Italian neighborhood vibe with Italian markets right next door.

Pizza was good, but soggy in the middle. The pasta was good, no complaints there. The sandwich was very lacking in the meat department... It was basically a bread and arugula sandwich. Had very low expectations for the gelato to begin with seeing as the colors were extremely unnatural and the way it was heaped was a clear indication to me that it is not legitimate gelato and unfortunately, I was proven very right. I got the strawberry so that my toddler could have a few few bites and it was so unnatural and weird tasting that she didn't even want any... And if that doesn't say something! My husband got the coffee flavor and he literally took three bites and threw it away as well. I will say, though, on the food front, the prices are reasonable here all things considered, but maybe stick with pasta... based on everything As a whole though, you can likely get a much more legitimate Italian meal somewhere else in the area, but it will probably cost you more.
