If you have a sweet tooth, this won’t satisfy it! Churros are not even a little bit sweet. I would recommend the Chocolateria 1902 or other less crowded places to go.
Jamie BarnardMarch 26, 2019
What can I say?? Loads of history in this place. I could eat non stop the churros and chocolate.
KaterinaAugust 19, 2015
This place is widely advertised, but don't think it's just a marketing trick: churros and chocolate are truly the best here. The walls of chocolateria picture many famous guests.

The line moves quickly, so don’t worry about it. Order and take a seat. No need to wait for your order before you sit.

All of their chocolate has milk in it so vegans be forewarned! They don't have soy milk either. But it's nice to go once for the history.

6 pcs churros with a regular-sized hot chocolate mug for 3,60€ :) real treat! Open for 24 hours. Perfect place to hang out after a long night of wine, beer and tapas ;)

Order from their takeaway sweet shop on the other side of the street - it has a shorter line - and then take them to eat on a bench in Plaza Mayor.
Johanna SungOctober 7, 2017
Skip the line at the main shop and head right next door to the expanded "to-go" counter and grab your order as a takeaway

Great churros and chocolate. A little abrupt and rude on the service end of things, but, did I mention, great churros and chocolate?
egleNovember 14, 2015
it's amazing how a legendary name of the place can trick you into a not so great affair. churros were more than fine but a thin chocolate resembling more of a bad cocoa drink ruined all the experience
JenJanuary 17, 2016
Chocolate and churros in this world famous cafe are the done thing - lovely friendly staff too but it gets busy quick!
Kaarel MikkinNovember 26, 2018
It’s a well working concept, charming in many ways. Timing is everything, on a weekend there may be a hundred people waiting in line. Much easier on a weekday. Avoid at all cost if you’re on a diet ;)

A must stop for anyone visiting Madrid. Historic chocolate con churros. So bad for you, yet so good!

Very delicious churro and chocolate Yummi
Elika TaskerApril 6, 2015
The churros of course! Love the chocolate but I prefer a doughy churros. It was very crispy.
NikMarch 20, 2017
A must when visiting Madrid. Get the larger churros, the thickness makes all the difference.
Alžběta LaňováDecember 4, 2015
Cool nonstop opened sweet place with delicious churros and hot chocolate, lot of pictures of famous guests on the wall
Eunice RaoiAugust 27, 2018
Freshly fried churros with a cup of hot chocolate for 4💶. 6 pcs of churros are good for 2 persons. Unfortunately, the chocolate is up to my taste.
Atheer AJuly 25, 2019
The best churros I’ve ever tried !!
Vivek JunejaDecember 29, 2017
Hot chocolate with crispy Churros - you can’t go wrong with this. Expect long queues. I recommend take away.
Esteban SzaszAugust 17, 2016
A must in Madrid. Better in winter than summer. The hot chocolate fits a cold afternoon perfectly
Francesco Paolo FumarolaDecember 1, 2022
Chocolate y churros any time! I personally love the hot chocolate thickness!
Bruno AlmeidaAugust 7, 2014
You simply must taste the churros with hot chocolate, you won't regret it!
Ana Paula MiyazakiJune 3, 2018
The hot chocolate is very creamy and delicious and the churros very crispy.
Indio BravoJune 3, 2014
i am not a big fan of churros... but here... i piss in my pants because they are so good... hot chocolate is delicious... unpleasant when overcrowded... small price to pay for the best churros ever
NmJune 8, 2015
Madrid most famous churros store .. It's worth a visit
Sarah SalmiJune 19, 2017
Delicious non greasy churros, chocolate is good and the staff super friendly
Vasilis KolovosJune 20, 2017
I guess everyone comes here for the churros and chocolate, and rightly so. Nice atmosphere.

If you're in the market for a mouth-watering serving of chocolate and churros, then San Ginés, tucked into the historic and picturesque passageway of the same name, is the place to go. Read more
Tomasz WłodarczykNovember 20, 2019
Churros to die for. This is a golden standard - must try.
@trozzula86October 21, 2015
tradizionale e bello con ottima cioccolata e churros --- traditional and beautiful with great hot chocolate and churros
JiyoungDecember 28, 2014
Hot chocolate at its finest. Rich and creamy but not to sweet. Perfect dessert for any occasion at any time of the day.
eDreamsJuly 20, 2011
Madrid´s best "churros" and chocolate place. Have it for breakfast or late in the night. This mythical place is open 24 hours a day and it is runned since 1894.
Lewis TFebruary 19, 2017
Sorry but not the best hot chocolate ever. However the churros and pouros (fatter and more like a doughnut) were delicious.
Patricia GuzmanJune 12, 2017
The churros and chocolate was okay, Nothing out of this world. The churros don't have sugar or cinnamon on them and are quite bland on their own
Di KadyrovaApril 11, 2015
Touristy, but churros con chocolate of premium quality, also staff is very attentive
Amol KAugust 11, 2015
Fantastic! You can get the chocolate with a bit of milk as well.
Marc EscanuelasSeptember 1, 2016
Traditionally for after a night of drinking but you know me and European traditions - go whenever.
nym LMarch 18, 2015
crispy churros are fantastic~but just for once. i cant understand how spainish regard it as normal breakfast
Bianca Navarro BowmanFebruary 19, 2016
Really dense and delicious Spanish chocolate con churros, it's harder if you come here with a full stomach!
Ashok FernandezOctober 17, 2016
Good but there's almost always a line to get in
Valentina CiolinoNovember 16, 2015
It's totally worth queuing for a cup of dense hot chocolate with 6 churros (€3). They also make coffee but that's not the point.
Lilly MinzatApril 7, 2016
Churros and porras deepened in choclat. The oldest chorreria in town!
juliaDecember 18, 2012
Very long queue on friday and saturday nights.. but it is worth to wait..
Susanna IlppolaMay 1, 2013
I´ḿ in heaven! Two chocolates and one portion of churros are fine for two cholacolate lovers! Atmosphere so nostalgic...
Martin PrebioAugust 16, 2017
Churros are great, and the chocolate is a perfect match. Not too sweet and thick enough to dip into it.
John DohertyDecember 3, 2017
Basically Madrid’s version of New Orleans’s Cafe du Monde. Delicious.
Adrian LiuNovember 15, 2011

The obvious choice are their churros and chocolate. One order can easily be shared between 2 people. Enjoy a beer here as well!
Stacy Bo BacyMay 19, 2019
Get churros and chocolate to go, and eat in Puerto del sol while people-watching.
