I tried the tacos but really wasn't impressed by the store-bought shells. The beef was good but the chicken was too salty and just wasn't enjoyable. Overall it was similar to Taco Bell. We also tried the Machaca and eggs which wasn't bad. What I did enjoy was chocolate-filled churro. It was hot and tasted fresh. They give it to you in a plastic bag so it doesn't get all over the place and you can walk around while you eat it. The employee was very friendly. The 4 stars is really for the churro and the service. Would come back again. They take cards but there is a $5 minimum. read more

Whenever I'm in downtown LA and have a craving for Churros, I make sure to stop by Mr. Churros in Olvera Street. Kinda hidden away and hard to find. They're on east end of Olvera Street near Cesar Chavez Ave (use yelp map guide). They make the best Churros in LA. Fresh and made to order with you choice of filling. So good and inexpensive. A lot better then the ones that you get at Disneyland or Costco. My favorite is vanilla custard and strawberry. I got mine still warm and crispy on the outside which is the best way to eat them. Not cold and soggy. Churros are made fresh daily. Cost $2.50 no filling and $3.50 filling. Size- two 12inch churros. Choice of the fillings: vanilla custard, chocolate, strawberry caramel guava Rellenos de queso (cheese filling) Parking - Small parking lots at Olvera Street are quite expensive read more

Mr Churro - Custard and Strawberry filled Churros. Bite me please!!! - Bakeries Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Maybe I was here on a bad day, because these churros were nothing to write home about. In fact, it was probably the worst churro I've ever had. I was here on a weekday and the place was deserted. I ordered a filled churro that I ended up throwing away. The gentleman that helped me pulled it out of the (non heated) display case, so who knows how long it was in there. The churro obviously wasn't hot, or even warm. It was very tough, which made it difficult to bite through. I'm wondering why the reviews are so high for this establishment. I suppose if you're there on a busy day with high turn around, you might get a fresh, warm churro. read more

Long long lines for this churro shop supersized to serve random food (burgers and chicken nuggets along with tamales) and drinks. I came during the Dia de los Muertos festival so maybe the lines are less soul killingly long at other times. That said, the churros are super delicious and worth the wait. We ordered some regular churros along with three filled varieties: crema/pastry cream, cajeta/caramel, and guava. I wanted to try the regular one just to get a baseline. It was delicious. Crunchy exterior rolled in sandy cinnamon sugar yet the insides are tender with a fantastic chewiness. These are great to eat on their own without the crutch of an extra filling. It's nice that the cinnamon sugar coating the outside didn't go overboard in terms of sweetness. The pastry cream filled one was my least favorite of all the churros, including the non-filled one. The dairy complemented the churro well but I'm not a big fan of pastry cream. A lot of positive reviews convinced me to try it but I thought it was just okay. The cajeta one was super delicious. So milky and sweet with a deep caramel flavor. It was just awesome. I had asked the lady who was taking orders from people standing in line which one she liked best and she recommended the guava. It was an excellent suggestion. Sweet and redolent of guava but with a nice tang that helped to cut the sweetness. The texture of the guava filling was like canned apple pie filling but the flavor was so good the texture was only secondary. read more

Quick pit-stop coming from LAX and the Cali burrito was perfect! Portion size and quality was great compared to the nearby shops.

Where do I start ... They were okay but I've had better to be honest! Anyway I gave 3 stars for the overall review| experience Pros not to many but for the most part they do try to be fast . And the taste was ok not worth the drive or paying for parking just to wait in line longer then it took to complete my order. Another pro was the signs they used to advertise was well placed so I was able to locate them faster. I did enjoy seeing an nice little old lady (Dona) walking talking orders trying to speed up the process... Very productive use of time to speed up the process but here's where my cons start Con they are to quick to keep up with them selves yes they placed my order and 50 other people but with that I was watching and listening to mistakes being made from being over priced from one order to my own order being incorrect with one item and it given to me as if I was the one mistaken for what I said .. Regardless he took the churro and replaced it with what I originally ordered but I think for one a lot of this madness would be a lot less crazy if they just slowed it down and better organized themselves and place one person in charge of what's going in and out then have another call out the number and hand them over all the while the middle man make sure its correct before it goes out! But I'm just saying that's what I would do... I get that they are busy but I think you would please people more by getting it right the first time then making mistakes and wasting products Loved it but I doubt I would go back read more

Good food but small portions are overpriced. Plus the plain churros are hollow. I kinda feel skimped out.

So good! Lots of choices - something for everyone. The ice cream/churro is large. We should have bought one to share.

Horrible tasting and pricey I wouldn't follow all the hype on this one the churros where very bland no taste and the ice cream was didn't help them read more

I was pretty disappointed with the $2.50 churro. I had a churro with strawberry filling. The churro tasted a little stale and not that sweet (excluding the strawberry filling). The strawberry filling helped made it tasty but I've had better churros. Churros should be crunchy on the outside and sweet, semi-soft, and warm on the inside. Mr. Churros churro did not even come close to what a real churro should be. read more

Hands down best churros in LA! Oh man, if only I could easily drive to DTLA for one of those custard churros right now. Located in the heart of Historic Olvera Street, these filled churros will definitely make ya thankful you live in LA. The culture, the diversity, the Mexican history and influence, the food....oh most importantly the food! Mr. Churro offers different flavours to choose from including strawberry, custard cream, caramel (cajeta), guava, apple, cheesecake, and chocolate. Word of caution though: the filling can be piping hot. Made the mistake of being too eager but I regret nothing. The caramel-filled churro paired so well with their Horchata. The custard has to be my favourite so far though. For my future visits, I'l be sure to try guava as well! Aside from churros and drinks like horchata and Jarritos, this spot also serves up actual food such as burritos, tacos, sopes, etc. Definitely not to be missed if you're already out strolling through Olvera Street. read more

Holy guacamole! This is the most brilliant dessert ever invented! Why don't all churros have warm, delicious, sweet cream filling inside them?! And there's more than one option?? Oh, you are killin' me. I paid $7 for two churros, which is how it should be! The price is perfect, and the taste is even better! I tried their cream filled churro (which is the original I believe), my friend ordered the apple filled churro but they rain out that day :( She's had the apple one before and says it's delicious and I believe her. So we ended up ordering 2 cream filled churro, it's $3 for each one and they cut it in half for you and put it neatly in a plastic bag for you! I WISHHH there was a Mr. Churro by my house. I'd spend all my money at this place! You guys have gotta eat it warm.. trust me. I also can't believe they have other options of real food here! Such a great spot. I love it. read more

The churro craze in Los Angeles and across the country is notably upping the quality of churros in town, and while Mr. Churro has good variety, the churro quality wasn't quite as good as those I've had nearby (notably, Taco Window's fresh made churros). Star 1: How were the service and atmosphere? Mr. Churro is pretty standard as far as the storefront is concerned, and the line can quickly snake around the block on weekends. I'll point out here that the number system can at times get mixed up, and while I ordered a caramel churro and an apple churro my girlfriend and I ended up with a standard churro and a custard churro. Star. Star 2: How were the portions relative to the cost? The churros at Mr. Churro are a very steep $3.50 per churro if you opt for a filling, and that was notably more expensive than Taco Window's comparably sized fresh made churros, which will run you $1.25 each. No Star. Stars 3 and 4: How was the food? Our standard and custard churros were just okay. The churros themselves were warm enough, but they really didn't have inherent flavor and the cinnamon was notably lacking. The custard filling was okay, but also lacked that quality flavor that can carry a dish. Single Star. Star 5: Would you eat here every day if you could? There are simply better churros in town than Mr. Churro, and at better prices. No Star. read more

Mr Churro - Crema Churro: $3.50 - Bakeries Near Me - Los Angeles, California

If you're ever in Placita Olvera then you need to make a stop at Mr. Churro. I had first seen this place on Eye On LA with Tina Malave and put it on my list of places to try. It was delicious! We ordered the churro with cajeta and they are continuously being made fresh there. The cajeta (caramel) is my favorite filling for churros. They have different fillings to choose from such as fresa (strawberry), crema (custard), chocolate, lechera (condensed milk) guayaba (guava), manzana (apple), and queso (cheesecake). One churro was big enough for two people so we ended up splitting it. The churro was cut in half and the guy gave us an extra baggy to put it in. They can be quite messy. We had to go wash our hands to get the sticky cajeta off of our hands. We sat inside, but they also have pretty nice tables and chairs outside the location. They looked like handmade beautiful pieces of art. I would come back here if I'm in the area and craving something sweet. read more

Mr. Churro is a must-visit when you're at Olvera Street in Downtown Los Angeles. You can enjoy it with fillings like caramel, custard, strawberry, chocolate, and guava. They have a full menu of Mexican food--tacos, tortas, and burritos if you're hungry. They're a small shop in a hallway that's easy to miss if you're only looking at the vendor stands. If you're visiting, exploring, or attending an event, then Mr. Churro is a requirement in your itinerary. read more

Mr. Churro! Located across Union station and on Olvera street. Turn on your Yelp location! Cool hole-in-the wall spot!! The menu isn't the greatest but it does the job!! Hell yeah =] Churro, tejuino, ice cream, and many happy employees!! If you're walking the tourist streets of Olvera St and find yourself lost... you can find and enjoy the sweets this churro place has to offer!! My first time was a great time!!!!

Mr churro doesn't enjoy you wasting time and money.. come support your local sweet tooth hahaha :) I love you all.. pictures not included :) read more

Plenty of churro for paying $3 for a custard-filled churro. It definitely satisfied my appetite. However, I can't say that I'm a fan of the churros here. When I asked my friend how his regular churro was, he paused and said, "Tastes like every other churro I've ever had." That statement says it all. Ordinary and nothing really special. I found the custard to be on the very sweet side and there was nothing spectacular besides the custard filling. I've had fresher and more delicious churros on Redondo Beach's boardwalk. You can definitely taste a difference between fresh and non-fresh churros! read more

I love churros and these churros have fillings in them!! I've been to Olvera Street several times and I have no idea why I haven't noticed this place at all. I guess it's because it's not on the main walk way of the shops so look out for the Mr. Churro sign outside. I tried the guava churro and it was warm and delicious. I am definitely coming back here and trying the other flavors. read more

We were looking for some good eateries and we found this sweet place on Yelp. After wandering around Olvera Street, we finally found the place. Ambiance Parking: You're in LA....good luck. So your choices are street parking or garage parking. Seating: * There is a bar-like seating for about 5 people but generally meant for waiting. Seats are outside within the hall as well. Feels: * The place is inside a mini-mall. The environment is family friendly and it has food for everyone for all ages. There is a tv on playing soccer if you're into that kind of stuff. Food: Churro (Recommended) Crunchy, served fresh, and sweet. You're definitely in for a treat. Chocolate (A-Ok) Maybe I had higher standards but unfortunately it is chocolate syrup. Cheesecake (Recommended) Personally, I am not a fan of cheesecake but my friend said it was satisfying for her taste. Guava (Recommended) Sweet and guavaly delicious. Horchata (Recommended) Sweet and delicious. The quality for the price was a steal! Customer Service: It was a pretty popular long line (10 people ahead of us). However line moved pretty quickly. Overall: 4 stars. Good food, affordable, and solid service. For a quick and sweet treat, I have a good idea of where to go. They serve more than churros thus I am more inclined to check out their other dishes. TL;DR Tips: * They serve churro sandwiches too! * No hidden gem, be sure to expect a line. read more

A solid 3 stars for me churros a tad bit in the pricey side in my honest opinion which is understandable because it's located in a very tourist spot but I still had to try some. My favorite are the caramel filled churros hands down I've tried the cream, strawberry, guava and something else since I bought a few churros for my coworkers. I think that the churros are a tad bit on the hard side a bit chewy not the usual churros I'm used to eating especially when they are still warm. If you have some sweet cravings & you're strolling down Olvera then this is one of the only spots that sells em. read more

Came during Dia de los Muertos weekend and the line was so long! Waited about 25-30 minutes to order and then another 10 for our churros. We tried the cream filled churros and it was okay. There was plenty of filling and the churro was served warm. I wish the churro was a little crispier though. It still made for a delicious snack during a chilly night. Nothing particularly stood out though so I'd still stick with my $1 Costco churro. read more

These churros are amazing! I had them for the first time when I worked downtown years ago and I still think about them. I was literally just telling my friend to go by and get one.

The churros were yummy, fresh and warm (better than Disneyland!). I ordered the cream filled one but I recommend skipping the fillings.... too much, keep it simple! My friend ordered filled ones too and the filling leaked out the bottom and was all over the bag. Being as yummy as they are it was horrible to wait. It was also pretty packed and the staff didn't communicate well when it came to ordering with one person and paying another. read more

Wedged in nook off of Olvera Street, Mr Churro has an expansive authentic Mexican menu, specific to Olvera Street in LA. In addition to the expected fare, they host a list of juices, smoothies, and dulces specific to a Mexican bakery including the sweet and savory stuffed churro. Stuffings include chocolate, guava, condensed milk, and strawberry and every one I saw or tasted was mouthwatering. Like the other stands along the street, the prices were categorically low and reasonable. They also obliged an order tweak I requested for some added veggies. On a rainy day, there are colorful benches depicting rancheros just outside the perma-stand in the nook. But most days, I would recommend taking the treats to-go and walking the historical lane and peeping the colorful, leatherbound "Hecho en Mexico" trinkets. read more

Deliciousness and all it's glory!! The churros are perfect combination or sugar and cinnamon. They have the special fillings like custard or marmalade. I personally always go traditional but I did purchase the custards ones for my family and they loved it. The only flip sized of Mr. Churro is the location as it sits smacks in the middle of Olvera Street known to be flooded with tourists. There is access to the street but only 3 parking spots often taken by those tourist. I would be nice if they had a cart location outside by the curb so you can drive up, drive thru churros there's an idea. read more

My favorite churro spot of all time! Nowhere comes close. Located in the Olvera Street market, I've visited multiple times during my LA trips to get my hands on a churro filled with fruity jam. Specifically, I always go for the guava-filled churro. And every time, this place delivers the fluffiest, tastiest churro I've ever had. The churro itself is a little sweet, being coated in cinnamon sugar. It's light and airy, so you don't feel too heavy after eating one (or two, or three). The exterior has a nice crunch on it too from it being fried. And then the guava jam adds such a unique fruity flavor to it. It's a nice contrast to have the cool jam with the hot churro. From what I recall, it's cash only, so be sure to bring some. Bring enough just in case you want to go back for seconds, I wouldn't be surprised. Parking is tough, there's a small lot (like 4 spaces) immediately outside of the entrance to the interior where the store is, and then there's surrounding street parking. Churros don't seem like something you should go out of your way for, but I think this place proves otherwise. It's a hidden gem - I've never heard anyone bring up this spot as one of the must-have places in LA. Well, let me be the first to tell you, this is a must-have. Every. Time. read more

Everytime I visit California I have to come here. It's my tradition. Caramel filled and custard filled churros are my favorite. This time I added ice cream on the side. Was in my fat girl feelings that day. read more

I hesitated before ordering. I'm a traditionalist and prefer my churros plain, but I thought I'd be adventurous. I ordered one churro and asked them to split the stuffing. So one piece had guava and another condensed milk. They gave them to me nice and fresh. Yum! They were very sweet but that was expected. Honestly I was surprised how much I enjoyed them. I would suggest you order one to share with someone or even two people. The restaurant also sells savory items, ice cream and juice. read more

Best churro of my life. Now to fulfill the character quota for this review, I will reiterate, that was the best churro of my life.

I love churros and knew I had to stop! Big mistake! Totally not worth it when there's a big line. Then you have one person taking orders and calling out pickup. Who was working the kitchen? I don't know. Took forever, might have been the same guy. Slow service, disorganized and the worst ticket system ever! Couldn't even understand the ticket number the guy was calling. One thing I hate most is when the cashier who is taking orders and touching money, is the same person touching food, napkins, etc. churro was delicious but not worth all the stress and annoyance of all that. Not for me. Get your systems in place. read more

Been going to this spot since I was seven years old and glad to see business is still good so I get the chance to bring my daughter for some delicious churros as a treat. I can't say much about the food cause over the years I strictly go there for the churros only. They're just perfect, you have the option of filled or original. My go to is the caramel filled churro. The churro have cream is also really good and would recommend giving it a chance. read more

I've been wanting to try this place since months ago. I saved space for dessert and got the regular churro after my dinner. Regular churro ($2.50): I prefer my churro with no filling. It was just okay.

They also sell frappes, smoothies, ice creams and shaved ice.
