Stop #1.5 on my museum tour for Sunday, January 13.
Having just visited the National Museum of Mexican Art, I was ready for something to eat. Â I just had breakfast 3 hours earlier, so I didn't want a full meal. Â Yelp came to the rescue.
This place has very good churros. Â While they weren't hot, the churros were fresh and yummy. Â I had a chocolate churro, and it held me over until dinner very well.
4 stars/5
Like many others, my churro experience has been less then happy. Eating churros at a carnival or sporting event is like eating  week old donuts and thing that all donuts suck. We tried  plain and a caramel filled churro. They were both fantastic. Hot and fresh, crispy on the outside, chewy on the inside. It was a little weird walking in, there was a family of 4 sitting around watching TV behind the counter. If you are in the area, do yourself a favor and stop in, you will not be disappointed. This is a strictly to go place.
Review Source:This place rocks! Not only was it incredibly cool in there on an extremely hot day, but the churros were amazing. I tried the vanilla stuffed one and am more than eager to go back and try the others. There weren't more than 4-5 flavors but the beauty is in the simplicity of it, not to mention that they also have elephant ears.
Review Source:I grew up with an uncle that owned a small Mexican grocery store and every weekend, he would bring me fresh churros. Â Well, I don't have churros every week anymore, but I guess you can call me the churro connoisseur since I am very good at distinguishing the good vs. the bad churros.
You're good, Don Churro. Â You're good! Â I bought an assortment of flavors (one of each) and brought them home. Â I wanted to be able to try all of the flavors and relish in each of their tastes. Â Ladies and Gents, my favorite ones were the chocolate and cajeta (caramel)! Â I just so happened to get them nice and fresh too! Â For a buck each, this is quite the tasty delight!
Keep in mind that it's cash only! Â Sorry, you can't charge $1.10 to your debit on this one! Â Who does that, anyway? Â Oh wait, I do! Â Either way, this little churro shop is a Pilsen must!
It's a spot of heaven around the corner from my place. The best churros ever! [Including the fillings] And they are very yummy yummy to the belly. This place is my favorite little summer time treat. The shop is very small. No seats, just a counter with hot, yummy smelling churros cookin' in the background.
You can't go wrong with a $1 for a churro and they have amazingly great flavors. The new cream cheese flavor is pretty good. Not as good as the chocolate and the caramel but good.
One night after a dinner at Nuevo Leon, a friend and I found this place on my phone and made the trek over. It was winter, i.e. COLD. We weren't sure about its hours and called, but no one picked up, and by the time we got over there we realized, sadly, that Don Churro had closed for the day.
Several months later we came over again, with much determination to finally get our long-awaited churros. We forked over a dollar each. And received in exchange the most lovely, melty churros imaginable.
Don Churro, please stay open long enough to be post-dinner dessert... I will love you so, so, so much more. More than I already do.
The first churro I ever had was at Six Flags when I was young. It was really dry and gross. I was turned off on churros ever since.
But today my friends and I visited Don Churro and I now I am IN LOVE with churros! These churros are so delicious. They come in a few flavors (plain, strawberry, chocolate, and caramel from what I remember) and they are rolled in brown sugar right before you buy them. I got the caramel one and I'm really glad I did! It was still warm and crunchy and the caramel was still nice and gooey.
They were just SO GOOD! And they were only $1!! I can't wait to go back!!!!!! Shame on you if you don't go to Don Churro after reading all these amazing reviews :P
Holy Churro! Â
I can't adequately describe just how awesome these churros are. Â They are like....sugary, doughy perfection....
Available in plain, carmel, creme, strawberry, and a couple other flavors, the churros are always warm and then rolled in sugar just before purchasing. Â It's as if the churros were waiting for you to arrive...
And the best part? Â They are only $1!
Warm yummy goodness wrapped in fried dough and cinnamon sugar!!!
Other than me, probably the best thing that has come out of Mexico.
I stop by in here for a quick churro to kill the crave, but stop here most often during the winter so I can take some over to my parents to enjoy with their abuelita hot chocolate. Â I used to bring dozens of this things to family parties and that turned out to be expensive cause no on can never have just one and at a $1 a piece... no way am I buying 100 churros for a family cook out unless it's grandma's bday. Â
I've been eating churros since I was a kid (must be why I got junk in the trunk) and Don Churro's churros are the best! Soft, warm and they really do melt in your mouth.
So delish on a cold Chicago day with a cup of Mexican hot cocoa.
How can you go wrong with the word Churro in the store name?! I walked in, took a whiff, saw the churro, saw the filling, heard the price ($1!!!!!!) and fell in love. I ordered the caramel and chocolate filled churro. It set me back $2. How crazy cheap is that?!?!?! Ohhhhhh it was so good. So good. I am sad I'm not eating one right now. The lady that served us was really nice and sweet. This place takes cash only. The price includes all taxes. They offer Bulvarian creme, chocolate, strawberry, caramel and plain churros. I highly recommend chocolate. If you have not been here yet, you NEED TO GO!
Review Source:Nice little old lady at the counter, who admonished me for not letting her know that I knew Spanish earlier in our transaction.
Delicious Churros, still kinda warm.
Definitely a good decision to come here and pick some up for the office when I was already late for work.
bring churros and all is forgiven!
: )
I want to live in Pilsen. Seriously.
Don Churro has convinced me that there is a heaven on earth and that heaven found its way into my mouth!
Warm and crispy on the outside, soft and chewy on the inside and you can get them filled! FILLED with sweet delicious custard like filling. OMG. It's impossible for me to really describe to you the taste sensation...just go. now.
PS, I blame the dirt cheap price of $1 per Churro for my soon to be ginormous ass.
amazingly cheap, delicious churros. Â for $1, you can get one nicely sized crispy on the outside, chewyish on the inside, warm, and sweet churro. Â i think i'm more of a purist, so i'm not all about the flavor injections...but i'm sure it can add another dimension of taste. Â it can satisfy any sweet tooth.
Review Source:I hate that the prices went up.. they're a dollar a piece now. But I guess that still beats the prices at sporting venues by a longshot.
But the churros are crispy, hot and delicious.. the way a churro should be!
The cutest thing about this place is they don't have a place for you to sit but they do have a tiny sink for you to wash your hands in! Let's be honest.. that sugar is going everywhere.. fingernails, your shirt, your hair.. yes, yummy sugar all over you.
And I've noticed the owners are much more friendly if you're hispanic. For some reason, they don't seem as wholesome when confronted with a gringo. Don't become offended.. I get the same attitude when I walk into a fancy-shmancy place. The door swings both ways I guess.
So I go through the teeny tiny door (because the sign outside says "Churros" on it son, and I'm no fool), and bare bones doesn't quite exactly describe it...way more character than that.
Inside there are:
-No seats. Â Just a counter.
-At that counter? Three things: a bunch of hot churros, some big flat round fried sweet looking sopapilla-ish looking things, and, quite randomly, a whole bunch of big hot sauce jugs.
-Behind that counter? A bunch of people sitting on folding chairs and totally absorbed in Spanish language soap operas.
-And to the side of them (here is my point, swear...)....
Seriously - drum roll this shit.....
HOT FLAVOR INJECTORS. Â Yup. Â Containers with strawberry, chocolate and bavarian cream with long, churro shaped nozzles sticking out of them on an otherwise empty table.
So I'm not sure what exactly is about to go down here, you know, but the handwritten sign on the counter says that filled or unfilled it costs a dollar, so you know I'm down. Â And maybe you take that hot sauce and rub it on the churro and squirt that chocolate on it and wipe it up with a sopapilla, you know, because, shiiit, YOU KNOW it is only a matter of time before somebody comes along and steals those flavors and their ideas and starts hawking that shit on the Northside of some fancy area of LA or something at some fancified ass "Churroakery" or some shit and charging $5 a pop for in and the crowd will go fucking wild, you know, so I'm going to try it here first for a dollar. Â Bitches.
But that's not even what happened, but it was still pretty awesome. Â So the nice churro-having lady asked me in Spanish what I wanted and I went for one plain, one con chocolate.
THEN - THEN - she went over to the HOT CHOCOLATE FLAVOR INJECTOR and stuck the nozzle into one of  my churros and filled that bad boy up!
Watching all of THAT action was better than even eating them, until, of course, I started eating them. Â Oh damn. Â Damn Damn Damn ( a hot and delicious Florida Evans moment y'all) Damn Damn Damn. Damn James, Damn....
So yeah, they're good. Â Softer and fresher than a really crunchy churro. Â The chocolate stuff is crazy fake-ly delicious, like almost like Swiss Miss concentrate or something. Â I started shoving pieces into people's mouths and they bet had appreciated the tastes, too......
$2 for all of this entertainment and two of those churroific  pleasures - for this much damn joy!  No tax and shit, or it's included already or whatever.  Just $2. Cash.  I will be back frequently.  But, no lie, I'm going to ask them how much for one of those flavor injectors, too.
