I admit it. The first time I passed by this place with Jano and Steph, I thought it was a tapas place. I mean, “Premium Spanish Fritters”? I hope that I’m not the only one who doesn’t think of churros when I hear Spanish Fritters. But one day after they left, I was really in the mood for some savory tapas and… yeah. But churros are good too!
The first time, I got a regular churro with a Tiramisu creme filling. All of the plain churros with fillings are $3.69 without tax. A bit disappointing because the filling felt like it was made out of Splenda or something. There was at aspartame-y sort of taste. But the churro itself was amazing. Crisp on the outside, and light and chewy on the inside. But my hands were covered in grease after I finished…
I came back again, after two weeks, with Kun. This time, I ventured out to trying their “premium” churros, which not only have a filling, but also are dipped and coated in chocolate and then a topping. All of these are $3.88 without tax.
I was so tempted to get the maple bacon, but I ended up getting the Tortoise, which is a caramel pecan filling coated with chocolate and then peanuts. God, it was so divine. As you hold the churro, your body heat warms up the chocolate and it starts melting. Melted chocolate and peanuts are so good together!
Kun got the Jordan, which is a nutella filling coated in white chocolate and then drizzled with milk chocolate. I took a bite and though it was good, the Tortoise was obviously much better…
They seem to be understaffed whenever I walk by. There was only 1 person taking the orders and right when we walked in, a group of 5 girls walked in too. So the poor guy at to take all of the orders before working on the churros. There was a lady in the back who helped him, but it still took a bit longer than it should have.
They have these really cute to go containers too. But we stayed to eat and there’s 2 tables that fit 4 each. I’ve never quite seen the place crowded so even though we shelled out $4+ (after tax) for a damn churro, I’m still trying to figure out how exactly they’re surviving/making money…
