The restaurant has been around for over a century and they've perfected their craft by now. They were very busy when we arrived and the line to get in was out the door. Fortunately, it looks like the restaurant owns the whole block, so we were lead to another indoor area with a lot of seating available. The Churros con Chocolate was incredible. The churros were nice and crispy and the chocolate was hot and rich. They combined perfectly. Once I finished the churros, I devoured the remaining chocolate by scraping the cup using the provided spoon.

What the Spanish did during New World conquest and colonization can almost be forgiven for the invention of churros and chocolate. The best Churreria I've experienced is in Barcelona, so this very good place falls a star below but don't ever pass it up. You'll be happier for it.

To be honest, majority of the food in Spain lacked flavor, but I wasn't expecting this to be bland either. Despite it's "blandness" or lack of sweetness, I appreciated how rich it tasted. I could also tell the churros were fresh and perfect amount of chewiness. Definitely a culture shock when it comes to food for me.

If you are ever craving anything chocolate- Valor is your place…read more This is the best place in Madrid for chocolate, churros, coffee, milkshakes, candy, and chocolate covered fruit. The staff is incredible- nice and accomodating. The store has a great atmopshere- cute and elegant, with many seats to read, journal, or do homework. I love this place and go there at least once a week- mostly for their milkshakes.

Maybe it was the time of day that I came (early afternoon)? It was fine, just not amazing.

Jamie W and I had already checked off our must-try for chocolate con churros, Chocolatería San…read moreGinés, and deemed them five-star tasty. Common sense would've brought us back to San Ginés, but I said to myself that there surely must be competitive options in Madrid. After finishing a particularly satisfying vegetarian dinner at Artemisa, we strolled around Puerta del Sol and found this cafe open. Although online reviews seemed decent enough, it might've been a tell-tale sign that there weren't any customers at an evening hour when you'd expect people munching on something sweet. Well, the lack of a queue was definitely appealing since we had to finish up our laundry back at the aparthotel. We ordered four Churros at 0.65€ each and shared a 3,4€ cup of Hot Chocolate (Photo 7). We added a couple of 2€ Cafe au Laits for good measure (Photo 10). Our verdict? We were disappointed because the churros tasted like they had been sitting around for a while. Not stale but more like an unpopular donut. The hot chocolate was just not enough to offset the churro because it lacked the rich consistency of the one served at San Ginés. We can say the coffee and milk hit the spot though.
