Since the time of its liberation into mass culture by the 16th century monk, San Churro, chocolate has become a quintessential part of Spanish life – a must-have daily treat, dispensed to grateful chocolate addicts in thousands of chocolateria's throughout the country. Nowhere in the world was chocolate more quickly and enthusiastically embraced than in Spain. Here, chocolate is more than just a drink or sweet treat; it is a cherished birthright and a delicious daily ritual. The chocolateria is a shrine to this passion. A renowned Spanish institution, the chocolateria provides a revealing insight into Spanish culture; buzzing all day long with friends and family gathering for their daily chocolate dose. Most Spaniards get their daily chocolate hit by devouring ‘ churros con chocolate'. Churros, or Spanish doughnuts, are long, lightly deep-fried pastries made from a light flour and water batter. Crispy, golden and dusted with cinnamon sugar, churros are traditionally served with a cup of thick and rich Spanish hot chocolate. ­Not only are churros the signature dish of the chocolateria, but they're also a classic and popular breakfast item and a humble yet formidable star of Spanish cuisine. As versatile as it is delicious, churros con chocolate is enjoyed as a snack at any time of day. For early birds, it's a morning wake-me-up before beginning the day, and for the legendary late-night loving Spaniards, it's a perfect way to sober up on the way home after a big night of tapas and sangria. The lively, bustling atmosphere of the chocolateria is wonderfully enticing, and with the added intoxicating aroma of chocolate and cinnamon, it is almost irresistible! It is from this rich and enchanting cultural tradition and passion for chocolate that Chocolateria San Churro draws its inspiration. Churros is our signature dish and is freshly made to order, served with a cup of melted couverture chocolate, imported from Spain. Perfectly washed down with a traditional Spanish hot chocolate or a premium espresso coffee, it is an authentic and delicious experience, full of all the wonderful sensibilities of its Spanish namesake. We think that the heroic 16th century monk would certainly approve.
