Churrería el Moro Mercado Roma

Located inside a popular food market this is an old fashion churrería, they sell the traditional churros and you have a menu with a few twists, like the ice cream sandwiches made with churros that are delicious. Their dishes in general are really good and worth it. The perfect dessert. Just a little overpriced.

Five stars solely for the churros, which are made fresh every few minutes based on the queue. The first menu option is 4 churros for 20 Pesos followed by the dipping sauce selection. The chocolate sauce, tasting like a pydding, is good but not needed. The churros are delicious as is. Crispy on the outside and soft & chewy on the inside. You'll have the option to have them rolled in sugar or cinnamon sugar. The location in Mercado Roma is perfect as you can grab a seat on one of the benches (it's family style seating).

One of the best churros in town. They have several locations.

Red velvet was dreamy. Make sure to get some chocolate for dipping

Lots of locations around town to get your Churro Fix.

Excellent churros!

Amazing churros!!!

So yum!!

I mean, howww could we have resisted? Saw this place on a lot of recommendation lists and they have become so popular that there are several locations throughout Mexico City. We opted to try the cinnamon sugar churros with a hazelnut dip and it was absolutely delicious. While they were very fresh, they weren't very warm but alas. My friends got Mexican hot chocolate while I tried their Cafe de Olla. We all agreed they weren't the best we'd ever had, but still overall delicious. It's hard to find a bad churro!

Very nice churro establishment where you can order churros, drinks and dips to go or dine-in in upstairs area overlooking street. Service was a little slow at first, but establishment was clean. There are bathrooms upstairs.

The theme in this little churro café is very clean, white with a little hint of blue... We just had breakfast around the corner at Bonetta's and we were absolutely full, we swore we could not eat another bite, we said we probably wouldn't eat for the rest of the day... and here we walk right in front of el Moro and order the fresh us churro with dark chocolate dipping sauce. We all agreed that this was the freshest most flavorful and delicious pastry , ever.... Just keep in mind that they make them fresh to order so you may have to wait a few moments but it is most definitely worth the wait ... the churros come out so hot that you have to wait a moment for them to cool down before you chomp into them... go there and just enjoy it!

Freshly made churros with good texture and a nice balance of salt / sweetness. The hot chocolate was very good as well.

I happy k tried this churros but not the best I've had . 3.5 rating for me. Had to visit as it was recommended. We got churros and a Mexican hot chocolate. Sat up at the terrace and people watched. Walked from Our hotel in Roma Norte and felt safe. Lots of people were out having fun ! It was El Grito ! Great time to be in El DF (Mexico City).

Ok, not great. Stopped by around 11pm on a Friday evening and waited in a 30 min line. Ordered the regular and red velvet churros. Churros were not warm or very soft. Ordered the Espanol hot chocolate which is EXTREMELY rich and CHOCOLATEY (almost bitter)

This is a must visit when in CDMX. The churros are cheap and absolutely delicious. It closes late so it's perfect for a late night snack. There are always people here waiting in line or conversing but the line moves rather quickly and efficiently. The ambiance is fun and the place is clean.

The place dirty and the churros were not that great (a little dried). The ice cream was good. I would go back just for the ice cream.

Skip this place - there are far better places to get churros. Not worth the hype or wait.

Delicious churros. Cold chocolate could be better. Wasn't a fan of the ice cubes. Just refrigerated like they sell in Coyoacán would be better.

Really good and well priced churros. Very fast service also, very little waiting time.

Great churros but the star of the show was definitely the hot chocolate. Hot chocolate was not too sweet and with fresh whipped cream it was perfection.

I've got to be honest. As Instagramable as the Mercado Roma is, with its iconic signage, open air stalls and exposed brickwork, I'm sad to say we found it hard to locate a really wonderful food stall in this entire food hall. With one exception: Churrieria El Moro. This iconic churro shop somehow blends perfect aesthetics (I love their packaging and logo) with the best tasting, freshest churros I have ever had the pleasure of enjoying. The churros we ordered here were warm, crisp on the outside, simple and absolutely delicious. We had to get the chocolate dipping sauce and it was thick, substantial, and the perfect compliment. It really doesn't get better than this. Skip the dry tacos and the chalky lattes at some of the other vendors, and march right back to Churreria El Moro, for the best food in Mercado Roma. The Churreira El Moro also has a much larger location in Roma Norte that is supposed to be gorgeous as well, and it ends up on everyones photos from the CDMX, so perhaps check that out as well.

Affordable, tasty, fresh churros! But the real star of the show was the ice cream. I got the mini trio churro ice cream sandwiches (vanilla, strawberry, and horchata), and the ice cream was really fresh and tasted home made.

This place is good but it's closed!! Visit the other locations and get the cajeta dip! It is now a taco shop :(

We wanted some churros while we were in Mexico City, and Churrería El Moro seemed to be the place to get them, at least for American tourists dependent on English language sources. There appeared to be several locations in high-traffic areas--we passed the La Condesa shop on accident and ended up going to the one in Mercado Roma when it proved closer to where we had lunch. This El Moro branch was a stall in one corner of a hip, bustling market. There was a short line when we went on a Saturday afternoon, but it moved quickly, the staff polite and efficient. The menu was longer than I'd expected, with lots of choices for dips, etc., but we just got the most basic churros, rolled in cinnamon sugar. The smallest possible order was four churros for $27 pesos, or less than $1.50 in dollars. This was too many churros after a heavy lunch, but I see why it wouldn't be worth their while to sell two at a time for half that price. The churros were delicious, warm and fresh and beautifully airy with the light crisp of fried dough and the sparkly crunch of sugar. Under different circumstances, I see how one might inhale four of them in one sitting. If you're looking for a sweet snack in CDMX, I'd recommend finding the closest Churrería El Moro.

If you want churros this is the place to go. $27 pesos for 4 huuuuge churros and a dipping sauce, you really can't go wrong. Met every expectation I had for a churro place and exceeded them on price and quantity. We also ordered a hot chocolate and it was creamy, heavy, thick and we had to pass it around our group of 6 to finish the whole cup. Definitely make it here during your trip to CDMX!

Great fresh churros in a trendy/up-and-coming part of México City. Ate: Churros + chocolate Suiza paquete. Get the Leche evaporada y cajeta dips. Trust me

I don't quite get the hype. They were good churros but I've had churros just as good in the States. Wouldn't go out of my way to go here but if you're really craving churros then I suppose it may be worth a stop.

There are a few locations throughout CDMX. Must stop. Go to the churro and dip it in the milkshake. They have strawberry and horchata flavors!

After a disappointing breakfast pastry run in the neighborhood, I was still looking for something to satisfy my carby tooth. It wasn't too crowded in the morning. Outdoor seating with a few benches, clean and modern branding. I like pastries and fried goods but nothing too sweet so the churros here hit the spot - I got the paquette, a great value for 72 pesos: Churros (4) dusted with the cinnamon sugar - Fresh, crispy texture, and not too doughy, oily, or sweet. Very tasty! Chocolate caliente español - A very thick and rich velvety texture with lot of spices - cinnamon. The texture is pudding like champurrado, thickened with cornstarch, it's sweet (not overwhelmingly so) but also savory in how rich it is. I dipped the churros in the chocolate and was pleased. I ate 3 churros and half of the hot chocolate and was full for hours afterwards.

Small spot in Mercado Roma, but serves its purpose, nice deco as well. Churros are what I was expecting, we tried 3 different hot chocolate and I liked the traditional more but if you want to dip Your churros go for the Spanish one. Service was ok. Location was convenient to avoid going to the main branch which is in downtown El Centro. Would recommend it for sure!

Mercado Roma is a cute spot that resembles Grand Central Market or Anaheim Packing District in LA/OC. Once you walk in, Churreria El Moro is the far back corner and they're cranking out these gigantic sized churros. I found it interesting as the guy poured the batter into this chamber that perfectly pushed out a long battered string of raw churro mix into an oil pit. He maneuvered the string to create several spirals and then lets it cook until he has to flip it over. Once thoroughly cooked, he brings it over to a aluminum tray and cut it to size. I love that you get to pick what you want your churros dipped in (granulated sugar or sugar with cinnamon). Every churro is extremely fresh and pipping hot which makes it just that more delicious. There are dipping sauces you can try; I recommend the chocolate (you won't regret it).

What's not to like. 4 churros and chocolate sauce for 27 pesos. Churros we're fresh and chocolate was a great compliment to them. They offer either plain sugar or cinnamon sugar. We did two and two. Both great

Best churros un México and very inexpensive. The ones with cinnamon are best. Great location and outdoor setting.

This is the location to go to. The other one I went to had a million mile long line that took forever, and no seats available ever. You've gotta go with the paquette. You get four (big) fresh churros, a dipping sauce (the sweetened condensed milk is the best) and a mug of hot chocolate in the variety of your choice. If you're not nuts for sweets and chocolate, like me, I'd recommend getting the styles that are more mild. You can check out the descriptions on their website. Definitely a must-stop when visiting Mexico City...churros were kinda hard to find!

To all my churros lovers if you are in Mexico City you must stop at Churreria El Moro , you can find them everywhere in the city and some locations are open 24 hrs . Try everything . from the churros with dulce de leche , to the churro ice cream sandwich to the hot chocolate

Same great tasting churros and hot chocolate recipes as the original location on Eje street. This location is much smaller, but is really inviting as the storefront is completely open to the sidewalk. Seeing the employees making fresh churros as you walk by will instantly lure you in. You can sit in one of the tables and people watch as you eat your tasty treat or take them to go. Staff is attentive and location is very clean. I am glad to see that El Moro is branching out and opening up different locations across CDMX! Bonus: this location accepts credit cards and you can purchase their staple hot chocolate mugs as a souvenir for the equivalent of USD$5.00.

Ice cream and churros mixed in one dish. Need to say more? Would totally recommend and probably I'll be going again soon.

The best churros I have eaten. We had them with Mexican chocolate - also the best Mexican hot chocolate I have had (being from California, that is probably not difficult). The lightness of the churros combined with the layered complexity of the chocolate...so much fun. The Mercado Roma is a wonderful atmosphere.

The churros were ok but i think next time I will try their other options. There was a long line and no where to sit at 10pm

The highlight of Mercado Roma! Would come back just for these churros. 4 for MX$24- cannot bear the price or incredible texture & flavor

This is obviously a Chilango institution! Don't be put off by the line or the blinding bright lights. Some things in life are truly worth it!

So good, but had run out of a lot of popular items when I went! The service was fast and friendly though!

It was good, and actually quite affordable for a fancy place like Mercado Roma. You cannot go without a dipping sauce though, so make sure you pay the extra 7 pesos for a sauce.

Hot chocolate is decent but churros were just okay. I've had much better in San Francisco!

Holy moly! You have to eat the churros with cajeta here! Or at any El Moro because there are a bunch throughout the city. They are so good and so cheap! I also love churros with chocolate, but the cajeta is the best! I make sure to go here every time I am in Mexico (legit, I plan my day around these churros).
