Churros con chocolate are ridged fried dough strips served with thick hot chocolate for dipping, while porras are the larger, airier Madrid cousin. Order **"churros con chocolate para mojar"** *(churros with chocolate for dipping)* or **"porras con chocolate"** *(thick fried dough with chocolate)* if you want the heavier version. Expect 4-8€ for a basic set in the center, with 06:00-09:00 and post-midnight as the classic windows. The trap is eating a cold display churro; the best bars fry constantly and move trays quickly.
