The churros were absolutely delicious — crispy on the outside, soft and fluffy on the inside. What really stood out was the variety of dipping sauces available. I tried the matcha and taro flavors, and both were vibrant and unique, adding a creative twist to the classic treat. The colors and flavors made the whole experience feel fun and a bit unexpected — in the best way!

El Churro sells extremely delicious churros that happen to be vegan and gluten-free. I waited a while to try El Churro and I have missed out. The vegan chocolate dipping sauce was heavenly - think hot chocolate flavored. Friendly service. LOVE.

Tasty, hot 12 inch churros and pistachio churro crumble ice cream! Great service. Clean and with a nice decor. About 8 bucks for 3 churros. The ice cream was rich and creamy. The kiddos enjoyed it thoroughly.

Great service! Were super nice! The churro’s we also perfectly cooked. We also tried the dunkaroo dip which was just like the dunkaroo frosting (vanilla).

I love this place. Underrated. The churros are vegan and GLUTEN FREE. So great. I love the music they play and the people who work there and the sayings printed on the windows. The door handle is a churro. So awesome. Bring your friends some churros. They will be happy. No need for sauces (my opinion). Bless

This sweet spot is ideal for satisfying your cravings. Opened till late night, their churros are delicious, served warm and toasty with a sprinkle of sugar and cinnamon. We paired ours with pistachio ice cream, which complemented the flavors perfectly. The treat was devoured in minutes. seating is limited and is designed for a quick takeout. Note that bathrooms are not available. Overall, recommend stopping by for their tasty churros.

Vegan Gluten Free churros? YES PLEASE! I had a donut-shaped twist hot and fresh with vegan dark chocolate hot dipping sauce. Oh my, so good!

This place has, by far, the best churro I’ve had in NYC! The churros are made to order and served hot, which makes them amazing. The inside is wonderfully fluffy and soft. The price for the churro itself isn’t expensive, but the sauces are a bit pricey at 4 each. I tried the lemon cheesecake and their classic flavor, dulce de leche. I enjoyed both, but if you prefer a sweeter taste, go for the dulce de leche; if you’d like a mix of sweet and sour, the lemon cheesecake is the way to go.
