El Moro

The Most Anticipated Los Angeles Restaurant Openings, Winter 2025 | Eater LA

"“Legendary Mexico City churrería El Moro will open its Los Angeles flagship this winter in the former Patra Burgers in Echo Park. The Echo Park outpost will be El Moro’s second Southern California location; the churrería also operates out of Costa Mesa’s Mercado González by Northgate González. Founded in Mexico City in 1935 by the Iriarte family, El Moro will dramatically transform a key corner in the neighborhood. Set on the corner of Sunset Boulevard and Laveta Terrace, the churrería will sport a clean, modern look with a creamy white exterior, signature blue neon signage, colorful artwork, outdoor dining, and, thankfully, an attached parking lot. Expect churros with seven types of chocolate for dipping or drinking, as well as the classic champurrado, café de olla, and horchata lattes.”" - Rebecca Roland
