    Con las manos ariba Sintura no esta sola Con un buen churro This is one of the best churros you can get in Mexico City and is authentic handmade fresh sweet goodness. From classic to filled churros they have great pricing and a great atmosphere. They have been around for many years making some of the cities best so so I recommend you stop by and give them a try. You won't regret it!

    Easily the best churros I've had. They're hot, perfectly crisp yet soft inside and the sauces are perfect. The place itself is cute and has a balcony that overlooks a busy pedestrian street which is perfect for some people watching while you eat your churros. I'm a little was fond of the beverages (the coffee was very milky and the Jamaica Agua Fresca very sweet) but it's well worth it for those scrumptious churros!

    Quick service and fresh churros! They were warm and dipped in plenty of cinnamon sugar. This place has dipping sauces to choose from if you want as well as milkshakes and other food items. Staff were easy to order with and get your items ready pretty quickly. The location was beautiful with great lighting.

    El Moro, oh El Moro. I came for a churro, and I left in a committed relationship with the guava dipping sauce. The churro wasn't fresh outta the fryer this time but still solid. Now, let's talk about that guava dipping sauce. If I could legally marry a condiment, I'd be registering tomorrow. It's sweet, tangy, tropical--basically, it slaps harder than your tía when you say you're not hungry. The place itself is always sparkling clean, which is nice because it makes dropping sugar everywhere feel classy. There's music outside so you can pretend you're starring in a churro-themed rom-com while you eat. And the staff? Super friendly--like, "I'd invite them to my wedding" friendly. Pro tip: just buy the guava sauce solo and dip whatever you want in it. Cookies, fruit, your hopes and dreams--go wild. Would I go back? Absolutely.

    We were walking past this little place and the line was out the door and down the block so we came back the following day to see what everyone was lining up for. It is a cute little place, bright and clean. The workers were friendly and service was relatively fast. We had a churro, a Mexican hot chocolate, and then some little churro ice cream sandwiches. They were all delicious!

    I had to make a stop every time I saw an El Moro. So delicious! This time I got the usual churros and hot chocolate, but also tried the ice cream which was very good.

    Who doesn't love churros?! These churros were cooked with the perfect crunch and flavor. Kept it simple with churros sticks and dipping sauce. Got the chocolate, condensed milk & guava. I know guava isn't for everyone, but I thought it went well with the churros. Would love to come back to try the churro sandwiches and other menu items. Perfect treat on a nice day!

    Shut the front door. Churros. Made to order. Hot fresh and the best. Order a bunch at this cute little place chained throughout the city. Eat one there and take the rest to the hotel for later. There are dips and sauces and ice cream sandwiches; I'm a purist. Churro with cinnamon sugar piping hot. I'll fly back to Mexico City just for another clutch full of them...I was here every day of my trip as it was a block from my hotel.

    We found this place on TikTok and decided to give it a try. There's outdoor seating bottom you order and the open upstairs has only seating. You can watch people walk by since it's in a busy shopping and restaurants area. The churros are made fresh and they had a lot of dips to pick from. The price was reasonable and the horchata overall it was good not the best but good.

    I came here twice during my time in CDMX since it was that good. I ordered the Mexican chocolate and churros with cinnamon sugar. There's many different Mexican chocolate drinks including a lactose free option. The churros were fresh, long, and thin. The churros were also crispy on the outside but still chewy on the inside without being too doughy. The service could be better though. I struggled talking with the staff with my limited Spanish and they were not very kind to me. It was worth it though since the churros were that good.

    Cute little churro shop. It wasn't the best I'd ever had, but they were good. Upstairs has a generous seating area and some seating overlooks the bustling street below. There are restrooms here as well to wash up afterwards. It's counter service, but upstairs we found that someone was roaming to take orders as well.

    I was excited to try these churros and they did not disappoint. Great cinnamon flavor and crispy texture. I dipped mine in the hot chocolate and that was also really good. Definitely worth a visit, we stopped in on a Monday afternoon and it wasn't very busy. If you are planning to eat there you will have to go upstairs and grab a table or some seats. They give you a menu in both Spanish and English. Fun tip they have some seats overlooking a balcony and the street below. A nice view to people watch while you wait for and then enjoy your food.

    Everyone told me to stop by here so when we got a little hungry from sightseeing, this was the opportunity to try it. I do like this location for the upstairs balcony to people watch. Opted for a bittersweet hot chocolate: perfect amount of bittersweet with bits of melted chocolate in it. We also tried the conseulitos which is a delicious concept. Better to stick with the chocolate as the vanilla and strawberry tasted too sweet. Yes there is more than one location which is helpful for a tourist in Roma who needs a break now so I don't have to go to centro.

    So Mexico City is a city that is truly a foodie's paradise-One can't throw a rock without hitting…read morea Michelin rated restaurant. Another thing this city has is very inexpensive spots you can eat,like pop ups or stands that serve such high quality food at very cheap prices. The third thing I found about this city is where this restaurant fits in-They have restaurants that are historic,that opened over 100 years ago-Cafe de Tacuba fits in that category,having opened in 1912. This restaurant is located in Centro Historico-just a few blocks from Zocalo.Its location is a very busy touristy part of Mexico City. When we arrived there was a 30 minute wait,but once we walked in it was obvious why as it was truly a work of art in there. The walls were adorned with amazing paintings and murals and interior designs elements that transported you back to Mexico in the 1950s and earlier. It was gorgeous. I don't want to call it a fancy place with all the stigma that sometimes represents but it was a fancy place without all the stuffiness of a fancy place. It was a very warm and welcoming place to dine at. There was a lady walking around with a platter full of conchas and churros that one could indulge in while waiting their main meal. I had to get a churro-it was so delicious. We also got chicken tortilla soup-it was so rich and tasty with the perfect blend of Mexican seasonings. I had a pretty good cafe con leche as well-you could really taste the high quality coffee beans they use in their coffees compared to what I'd been getting all trip in the streets. Now when you visit this restaurant and you could only try one dish-that dish begins and ends with Enchiladas Tacuba(355 pesos/$20.35) That's what I got and it was awesome.Its basically a chicken enchilada dish with a creamy spinach based sauce topped with cheese-flavor bomb to the fullest. 9.5/10 Item I wouldn't clarify this as an inexpensive meal compared to other places we visited in Mexico City,but I would call this place an incredible dining experience where one can just feel the importance of the building one is having this meal. Heck Diego Rivera had his wedding reception here in 1922. I for sure would recommend anyone who has the pleasure of visiting Mexico City,must add Cafe de Tacuba to their itinerary-it's such a rich experience.

    The tamales and chilaquiles verdes con huevos y bistec were okay. The tamales were a little dry,…read morewhile the chilaquiles verdes con huevos y bistec were bland and could have used more seasoning. Customer service could be improved, as it was hard to get a hold of our waiter at times. All in all, worth visiting for the ambiance, but the food did not match the experience.
