Churrería El Moro

Chocolate, ¡sí! Churros, no.

Atmosphere

Churrería El Moro is a good place to drop in for an sugar and theobromine boost when your energy flags. The hot chocolate is offered in three variations: Mexicano, Francés and Español. The Mexicano is pretty good stuff, but the Español is thick and intense. It was so rich that I was unable to finish all that was in my cup.

The eponymous churros, alas, are often served old and cold. Only once in our several visits were we served hot fresh churros, hot from the frying vat. The deal is, you can't buy a cup of chocolate without the churros.

Service is matter-of-fact and not especially swift, but relax; it will come!

El Moro operates 24/7, although a few writers have advised avoiding the neighborhood  during the wee hours. My opinion: go in a group if you are concerned about safety..
