If you only get to try 1 place in Madrid for chocolate con churros...go to San Gines, hehe. (Only b/c it's 100+ yrs old, super famous, and people will gawk if you say you didn't go there.) But if you have time to go 2...MAKE SURE you hit Chocolat!! And if you have time for 3...go back to Chocolat a second time (we did)!! Their chocolate is soooo magically smooth & rich...it's sinfully decadent, not too sweet or watered down. Best of all, it goes perfectly with the freshly-made churros turned out--to order!--by their friendly & helpful staff. Also love the cute, cozy interior with surprisingly hip & modern lounge music...somehow it just works.
I wasn't as big a fan of the porras, but I probably wouldn't like them in general (not just here)...it's a personal choice. For me, it's gotta be that delicate crunch & perfect chocolate-to-pastry ratio that can only be achieved with a fresh basket of churros (con chocolate). Make sure you go before 1pm, or after 5pm, to get them freshly-made...if you go during the slow period (1-5pm), you will have to settle for pre-made churros, which are ok but not nearly as exciting. I will definitely be back the next time I'm in Madrid!!
PS: The tosta was ok, and orange juice was ok...most people who ordered drinks here seemed to get (some variation of) coffee, so I'd recommend that, if you're a coffee drinker.
