Churros con chocolate · Mexico City

Crisp fried ribbed dough piped from a churrera and dusted with sugar, served with a thick cup of Mexican hot chocolate for dipping. Late-night street food and breakfast dish.

Churros came to Mexico from Spain in the colonial era; the Mexican version is shorter and more tightly ribbed than the Spanish original. Churreria El Moro opened in 1935 on Eje Central in the Centro Historico and runs 24 hours a day, with four chocolate styles for dipping (Mexican, Spanish, French and the thick chocolate especial). The 24-hour churro-and-chocolate stop is a Mexico City institution.
