    Not fresh at all. Very dry and not flavour. As a former chef, I can definitely tell the churros was pre fried and just refreshed when we ordered. Or maybe I was just unlucky this time to get the old batch.

    Churros sequinhos, macios e saborosos. O chocolate é leve o que faz da experiência ser melhor ainda. Com certeza vai bem com café, mas o calor estava absurdo então fomos na água mesmo.

    Après en avoir entendu parler depuis si longtemps, j'ai enfin pu goûter les fameux churros de San Ginés. Cela est un peu différent de ce que l'on connait en France car pas recouverts de sucre mais délicieux avec le chocolat chaud. Le lieu est évidemment assez convoité mais l'organisation n'est pas très pratique, il faut prendre la commande à l'intérieur d'une certaine boutique puis ressortir et patienter dans la rue avant d'être placé par les serveurs.
