Churrería El Convento
Order:
“A charming, old-world spot in the south, perfect after visiting the Saturday market.”
Churros are the beloved sweet ending to a day in CDMX. These fluted tubes of fried dough are coated in sugar and cinnamon, served piping hot and crispy. They are almost always paired with a cup of thick Mexican hot chocolate. Order an **"Orden de Churros"**; specify if you want **"Chocolate Mexicano"** (spicy/bitter). The trap is buying cold churros from a glass case; a real churro must be fried to order. Expect to pay 20–60 MXN.
