Churrería El Moro

GO HERE: for a popular late-night snack any time of day. Made with just flour, water, and salt, these churros are all crisp and chew, no puff: They’re the best in the city. The menu is simple—churros, eight types of hot chocolate, and the consuelo, an ice-cream sandwich with coiled churros on each end.

ORDER THE: chocolate especial, the least sweet of the bunch, or chocolate Mexicano, which is the lightest. One order of churros should satisfy two people, but beware—they’re addictive.

THE VIBE IS: efficient and charming at all hours, with female servers in dated blue-aproned uniforms.

PRACTICAL STUFF: There are five locations, but the original location in the Centro Histórico (which, let’s face it, is the one to visit) is open 24 hours, seven days a week.
