Crispy cinnamon-coated confections can cause constant cravings!
This popular CDMX churrería chain opened their first US location at the Mercado González. They are expanding to Echo Park, with plans to set up shop in other states in the future.
The plaza parking lot was a zoo on a Saturday afternoon, I had to park by TJ Maxx and walk over. Their stall (puesto) is on the left side of the market near the bakery, the entrance closest to the outdoor patio. I stood in line for about 15 to 20 minutes, which wasn't too bad. You can view the kitchen through the large glass windows. They run a tight ship, constantly frying, cutting, and freshly coating new churro batches as fast as they can make them.
Dips (caramel, chocolate, hazelnut chocolate, condensed milk) are $1 each or 3 for $2.50. They also have drinks, ice cream sandwiches, and merchandise. Online ordering is available, which may save you some time: https://northgatemarkets.namer.alohaonlineordering.com/Engage.aspx?#/engage/ordering/menu
What can I say that hasn't already been said? These sugary spirals have a satisfying snap to them, each bite was heavenly. Perfectly crisp on the outside, soft on the inside, with the optimal amount of oiliness and sweetness.
Ordering just one piece was a mistake. If I had stomach space I would've gotten a dozen!
