Not good churros, THE BEST WE'VE EVER HAD churros!! Seriously, better than Disneyland churros, better than Bario Queen churros, so good..fresh, crunchy and soft. Staff was nice and friendly. We liked the carmel sauce, it was our favorite to pair with the churros. I'll be dreaming about these!

Absolutely freshly made, with the dough piped right into the hot oil Amazingly delicious, just the absolute perfect churro 🤌🏿🤌🏿

Wonderful little spot in the middle of historic old town surrounded by shops and restaurants and live music. The churro was phenomenal and it paired well with ice cream. Simple and delicious dessert fare.

Amazing churros, so fresh and delicious

I love churros, and these did not disappoint. It was so fresh and so delicious. She made them to order, so there is a wait 3 -4 min but worth the wait . The size was perfect.Staff was friendly and helpful. I'm definitely coming here next time we visit . Thank you . Side note they were unsure if the churro ingredients cintained milk in them for the dairy allergy people.

Ive had a lot of churros, these were definitely the best ive ever had. Super soft slightly salty center

We had great service. We were set next to a heater that kept us warm. We got a sampler platter that was more than enough and could have fed up to 4 people. We also had yummy margaritas. The place had lots of cute umbrellas, and the employees attire added to the overall experience.

This was the best churro I’ve ever had! It was warm and soft on the inside while crispy and sugary on the outside.

Seriously, the best churro I’ve ever had. Soft and chewy on the inside, crunchy on the outside. I already want an other one.

We love the decoration set up during "Dia de los muertos" which during the month of Oct/Nov. A Mexican tradition to remember our love one's that have passed away. 😇🙏

Went on for churros. They actually make them after you order which is great. You get fresh made churros. They are hot so proceed with caution haha Each churros is $4.50 Take your churro and have a seat listening to music in Friday evenings.

Delicious churros and ice cream but the rudest staff attending, he didn’t offer the extra dipping cream included when I came back for it he just dropped it with the worst attitude. Everyone in San Diego is super friendly but this guy was terrible, if you don’t like serving to customers why are you there ? :(

Lovely

I waited patiently in a long line for churros and ice cream. The courtyard’s atmosphere especially with live music was awesome, so I didn’t mind the wait. However, the treats themselves were just ok.

Stale and dense. Maybe they were having an off day but I would avoid at all cost. Ice cream was also not great, a bit freezer burnt.

So I went yesterday to “El Mercadito” (ice cream shop) in Old Town San Diego, whe the costumer in front of me ordered Ice cream and at the moment of paying with cash the cashier mentioned they only accept card, when the costumer ask them What happens with the ice cream if the costumer doesn’t take it or can’t pay? And the girl mentioned “We just put it back in the container” wich is totally gross, personally I walked out, hopefully you can check what type of costumer service you give and do proper sanitary procedures

People who say this is the best churro must have never had a churro before? The churro we got here was the worst we’ve ever had. I would say it’s maybe because we weren’t cooked a fresh one but I’ve had ones out of a window before from Rubio’s that were way better This one was slightly burnt. Shame because they smelled good and the chocolate sauce was decent
