Nutella and vanilla churros
Tim M.

This place is located within the old Milk Pail complex, which is now a great Mexican food court and mall of small shops. You can find this place by following the signs and you can enter directly from the outside. You don't have to wander through the maze of shops to find it. Just head down the winding sidewalk near the middle of the complex and look for the blue painted storefront near the back. The churros here are fantastic. Warm, crunchy, and filled with sweet goodness. Pro tip: you can buy churros individually, just $2 each. Worth the trip!

Great experience here today. Stopped by on my lunch break after reading great reviews in the maps. $9 got me a MASSIVE churro box that would easily feed 4 people. Highly recommend

This WAS the Fresa Churro Sundae and the Churro Bites! 10/10 traveled from Memphis, TN to try them

Nice little place at the entrance of the flea market. Not hard to find at all. Churros are fresh! Ice cream was yummy. The service was great and quick! 10/10

Part of the campfire churro sundae!! Toasted marshmallow

Yum city!! I wanted more! The Churros were freshly made and they had so many options of fillings!! The coconut has the perfect sweetness! But the apple filling was a perfect addition to my churro! The Oreo coffee drink was a great combo of coffee, Oreo, ice cream and amazingness! Victor and his family were wonderful!! True hospitality!! Victor was kind enough to let my family try his new menu item... the churro sandwich. Perfect for these hot summer days!! A hidden gem in the Milk Pail. Want a better visual?

Bakers Dozen (vanilla, Nutella, coconut cream pie)
Wade L.

We discovered this little gem about a year ago, and we've been customers ever since. Anytime we have friends over or are celebrating something special, we pick up the bakers dozen. And let me tell you, there's never even a crumb left!! The churros are so perfect - crunchy on the outside, soft and oozing with filling in the middle. We cannot wait to finally try the churros sundaes this summer! They almost always sell out, but call ahead and place your order for pickup! Everyone is so kind (even to a couple gringos like us)! I dare you to make it home without eating a vanilla one in your car! Can't be done!

Plain churros.

Really yummy crunchy treats which lots of vegan fillings listed on the menu. They were out of apple the day we visited so we got plain. Cute little seating area inside. Outside looks a bit run down but not busy and ample parking with food trucks parked out in the lot. Would eat these hot dessert again!

Cajeta churro with vanilla ice cream and cajeta topping! One of my favs
Dezzeray M.

This place has the best top churros that I have ever tasted, now I give the churros a 5 star, but the costumer care and service is not welcoming or nice. You walk in without a greeting just "can I help you" I have even tried asking how thier day is going and you get the same down play energy. everyone seems dead beat and no love to what they do. I only come for the amazing churros, other than that the care and welcoming is not there from any employee. No recommendations on churros, or service of care.

Bakers dozen churros to go! Cream cheese, Nutella, coconut, cajeta, strawberry, pineapple,and apple.

Why has it taken me so long to try this place?? It's a little off the beaten path but easy to find. If you park in the Tianguis/Milk Pail lot, you'll see a building that looks like a red barn. Follow the sidewalk along the right side of that building, and you'll see a blue building on your left. Do yourself a favor, and go inside. I went in at noon on a Saturday, and there was no wait. I ordered a bakers dozen and told the man at the counter I'd like one of each flavor + extras of whatever he recommended. He was great, even going so far as to ask me if I'd like for him to skip the plain ones! I also ordered a champurrado. If you've never had one before, do yourself a second favor and order one. Sweet, warm, thick, and a little nutty. The building itself is super cute, and I loved admiring the holiday decor and listening to David Bowie singing "The Little Drummer Boy" on the radio while I waited for my order. Really set the tone for my weekend. The churros came quick, and when I got home I cut a couple inches from each one to make a "churro flight". There was not a dud in the batch. I had vanilla, coconut, cajeta (caramel), pineapple, cream cheese, apple, strawberry, and Nutella. Five stars all around. They even close off one end of the churro so it doesn't spill out while you eat! I'm already planning my next trip back.

Nutella churros! So yummy and fresh.
Amelia G.

Best churro place in the Elgin area! These churros are authentic and made fresh. My favorite are the Nutella churros and the plain churros, they are thin warm and delicious. They also have fresh champurrado this is a Mexican thick heavy hot chocolate with pecan drink. You should try it, especially with the cold weather. The staff there is very friendly and although there is a long most of the time it is worth the wait. FYI, just be careful while eating your delicious churro with filling because once you bite it the filling come out on the other side. Be ready with napkins!

Strawberry- Nutella churros
Arely Z.

Great atmosphere overall the churros had a good taste. I would personally prefer them a bit crunchier and less oily.

Very berry churro sundae topped with lechera-filling is Nutella.
Sabrina G.

If you love churros then please pay them a visit!!! Such a delicious treat, guilty pleasure! Only thing that sucks is the location but it's worth it!

Yes they are good but not to wait 40 mins for your order!! That's not right. Employees need to move a little bit faster.

I've been there many times, pre-renovation, and now twice since renovation. One of the things I like most is that the owner so clearly loves what she's doing and is almost always there, interacting with customers and bringing cheer and warmth. The place feels--especially in the summer time--like sitting on a European street. The food is always tasty (the deviled eggs especially), the drinks are creative. I could use a slightly wider cocktail list that incorporates varying base spirits and experiments a bit more, but what they serve up is good.

The suburbs don't usually inspire much confidence when someone tells you they're taking you out for…read morepizza. More often than not, you're looking at another tavern-cut pie, a dozen televisions screaming sports highlights, and a menu designed by committee. Safe. Predictable. Forgettable. Then there's Woodfire. I ended up here with my family celebrating my son's second birthday and was immediately reminded that every now and then, hidden among the endless strip malls and chain restaurants of the Chicago suburbs, you'll stumble across a place that actually gives a damn. The Vodka Pizza arrived looking almost too good to touch. Almost. Hot Calabrian vodka sauce. Fresh mozzarella. Shallot. Pepperoni. Ricotta. Basil. A combination that sounds familiar enough until that first bite lands and the heat punches through. Not the fake, watered-down, suburban version of spicy that restaurants use to avoid frightening anyone. This pizza has conviction. It has backbone. The Calabrian peppers make their presence known immediately and refuse to apologize for it. Good. Food should have an opinion. The crust, charred, blistered, beautifully imperfect, comes from house-made dough cooked in a wood-fired oven that sits like the beating heart of the restaurant. Every pie carries those little marks of fire that remind you an actual human being made it. Not a conveyor belt. Not a timer. Fire. Flour. Skill. And speaking of things that deserve respect, let's talk about the bar. Kevin has become something of a local legend in Dundee. The kind of bartender whose name gets mentioned before the cocktail list. The kind of guy who understands that making drinks isn't about pouring alcohol into a glass. It's hospitality, theater, craftsmanship, and just enough mischief to keep things interesting. Still chasing the heat from the pizza, I ordered the Spicy Flamingo. A dangerous drink. Sweet enough to invite you in. Spicy enough to keep you paying attention. The kind of cocktail that disappears faster than you intended and leaves you contemplating a second before the first one is gone. Around us, bussers moved through the dining room like a pit crew at Daytona. Tables were cleaned before they looked dirty. Empty glasses vanished. New guests were seated. The machine never stopped moving. Then there's Chef Mason. It's obvious someone in that kitchen understands the difference between cooking food and feeding people. There's technique here. Knowledge. Discipline. But thankfully none of the self-important nonsense that infects so many restaurants once they start believing their own press. Woodfire isn't trying to change your life. It's not trying to educate you. It's not trying to be the coolest restaurant in the room. Like Ferris Bueller, it understands that life moves pretty fast. So instead of chasing trends, it focuses on making exceptional handmade pizza, memorable pasta, serious cocktails, and creating a place where people actually want to spend an evening. In a world full of restaurants desperately trying to be something, Woodfire succeeds by simply being exactly what it is. And that's a hell of a lot rarer than it should be.

Woodfire fits naturally into the heart of Dundee -- relaxed, welcoming, and easy to enjoy. The…read morepizza is the highlight, bringing a fun, flavorful approach that works well for both casual nights out and group dinners. The pasta and appetizers are solid across the board, and the drinks round out the experience nicely. It's the kind of neighborhood spot that may not try to overreach, but consistently delivers a good time and a satisfying meal.

If you're…read morelooking for an elevated, upscale experience without heading into Chicago, Schaumburg, Oak Brook, or Naperville, this is the place. Period. The ambiance strikes a perfect balance with dim, intimate lighting and a clean, modern presentation. It feels polished without being stiff, refined but still welcoming. Most importantly, it delivers where it counts, on the plate. We started with the lamb lollipops, cooked precisely to temperature and finished with crushed pistachios, pomegranate, and a rich demi-glace. Each bite delivered depth, brightness, and texture. The Dungeness crab croquettes were equally impressive, crispy on the outside with a delicate, herbaceous interior. Rich, but never heavy. The French onion soup is an experience in itself, served in a hollowed onion. Bold, deeply savory, and incredibly comforting. Service elevated the night even further. Our server, Karra, asked if we'd sharing and had the kitchen split our entrées into individual portions, a thoughtful touch. The steak arrived perfectly cooked, and exactly as ordered. We finished with the English sticky toffee pudding, warm, gooey, and unapologetically decadent. Montarra doesn't chase trends. It executes upscale dining with precision, care, and genuine hospitality. That is exactly why it stands out, and why I'll keep coming back. Go experience it for yourself.
