Churros con chocolate! Best place to have churros! Order first, take a seat and give your ticket to the waiter. He will get your order. Don't wait in line till you get your order, like all tourist do

Traditional breakfast in this famous chocolatería in Madrid is a must. ✔ Churros y Porras with chocolate, washing it all down with coffee cream, - incredible start of the day in Spain.

Excellent dark chocolate and churros. Liked that the chocolate dip is rich but not too sweet and the hint of salt in the churro balanced out the chocolate flavor perfectly.

if you wanna hang out like a local in madrid, absolutely you must come here and then taste chocolate & churros. you may have to wait in queue for a time as it is the most famous place

Lovely chocolate con churros! Tourist trap, but worth a visit. €4 for a serving which easily serves 2. Go for your order, then take a seat and the waiter will take your ticket and grab your churros.

If you want to sit in the beautiful cafe, get in the left line to order, and then the right line to sit down. But if you walk 10m down the street there is also a takeout version with shorter lines.

It is hard to say this is the best churros con chocolate in town, but certainly it is the most traditional. A must in Madrid. And if you don't like churros, have some good ice cream in the neighbour

It’s so popular that you have to wait in a queue outside but it’s well worth it! Delicious churros and chocolate. Just a little tip - share the portions - it looks innocent but it’s super filling!

One of the best spot in Madrid to try churros and hot chocolate 🍫 Nicely designed ✨ lovely staff 🤍
Amber JohnsonJuly 15, 2017
Gained about 5 more pounds after my visit but it was so worth it. Churros y chocolate are to die for! Don't miss this place of you are in Madrid. You'll regret it if you do.
Marlyn GuzmanJuly 8, 2018
I really liked the churros and seating on a table outside. Got to do the queue to seat outside but worth it. Think it’s open 24/7 or at least till very early in the morning
Shannon ChenMarch 13, 2019
I went with a friend. The line was long but definitely worth it! We ordered one but ended up queing for more. Churros and chocolate hit that sweet spot of being not too sweet or heavy as a snack.

loved the churros.. nice place.. often over-crowded

The best place for churros in Madrid.
Abed AftabiApril 4, 2017
Don't miss it, churros with hot chocolate is a nice experince, nostalgic decoration with kind staff, usually crowded & reasonable prices; I love it
PureWowMarch 29, 2016
San Ginés is world-renowned for its sugar-coated, fried churros that come with warm, rich melted chocolate for dunking. Don’t be surprised if you see people eating this treat for breakfast. Read more
Arianna TrakakiSeptember 16, 2015
The best churros in Madrid! Soft but also a bit crispy, they match perfectly with the rich chocolate and are irresistible. Excellent value for money for sure. :)
Izam RyanSeptember 17, 2019
Churros is the main event. Dipped in hot chocolate, these are an excellent snack. But the nextdoor La Escondida has breakfast sets available, I had my tortilla here with a side of Churros. 👍👍😋
Nancy AndradeMarch 10, 2019
Delicious churros and hot chocolate. There's a long line if you want to eat at the restaurant, but there's a take-out shop next door. Variety of trufas.
Kateryna TerevehaApril 27, 2017
Yummy! It is loud and crowded and we liked the atmosphere! The waiters do a great job carrying up to 6 orders at once, this is something worth seeing:)
Julia LuMarch 24, 2019
Arguably the best churros in the world! There’s usually a line for dining in but it moves fast. 4.20 for six churros and chocolate sauce.
MobilAdam -December 6, 2014
Chocolate con churros.. Both churros and chocolate are better than Valor and others. A must visit in Madrid. There are only around 6-7 items in the menu.
S PJune 20, 2022
Another Madrid institution. Some of the best churros and hot chocolates. A must try at least once!
Monica VargasJanuary 17, 2016
Worth the line... and the cold for this delicious churro & chocolate experience! Not a fan of chocolate myself but indeed is a must-do experience you shoud do before leaving Madrid!
Isa SakharAugust 26, 2019
The churros here is a really good ones, and the chocolate has a vanilla afterflavor. But the most important is the atmosphere of course. Especially if you met there locals with their own charm!
Jane HongSeptember 23, 2014
It's a tourist hot spot for a reason! Delicious churros and chocolate that you can't find anywhere else at any point during the day. 3.80€ for 6 churros and chocolate which can easily be shared.
Ozge AltinayNovember 29, 2014
For the tradition of madrid we have tried the churros at the most famous chocolateria in madrid,at san gines,churros is a nice sweet but i wish the hot chocolate was a bit thick like a cream :))
Krij CerenoMay 11, 2015
Order and pay at the counter first, choose a good seat, then give the receipt to the staff and wait for your Chocolate con 6 churros for only 3.90€ Must try!!!
Tokara la GuitaraJanuary 20, 2016
The hot chocolate is served in Spanish style - thick, dark and strong - and the churros - deep fried batter, similar to a light, crispy, linear doughnut, cut to length by the staff - delicious!!!
Paola VillarMay 11, 2015
The best part: the hot chocolate. If you are not too hungry but want to try the churros with chocolate ask for half a portion of churros (they normally give you 6) so you don't leave some behind.

We had the following ice cream (3 giant scoops for 5€!): lemon& lime, churros con chocolate, candied violet (a Madrid specialty) - I recommend all of them; they were delicious!
Veenasya SidhuJune 17, 2013
best chocolate churros in Madrid! they're open 24 hours, good service and nice ambience. prices are quite cheap and the food is really good. a must try if you're in Madrid! highly recommended!!
Michael Monje MoranMay 27, 2014
1 order of churros or porras /person should be enough (quite filling with the thick hot chocolate). I prefer the churros but the porras are still worth trying! Great authentic yet touristic place!
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.
Katarzyna StawnaNovember 8, 2017
Delicious churros and hot chocolate. Obligatory place to visit. Lovely service and interior ❤
Nina OttavianoJanuary 13, 2015
Best chocolate churros place in Madrid. Get half as many orders as you have people (we got 3 for 6 people) and that'll be plenty.
Efe SarıkayaAugust 30, 2014
6 pack of churros and chocolate is 3.80, place is open 24 hours and running since 1894. Must see and taste while you're in Madrid!!!
babs velosoApril 21, 2017
you can't visit madrid and don't eat these delicious churros! please, go there every day during your stay to finish off your night! they're open 24/7!
Amaury JApril 18, 2018
The best churros you’ll ever have! One portion is big enough for too people. It can get really crowded during peak times.
Milos GajdosOctober 1, 2018
Best churros in town. Pay at the counter, grab a ticket and sit down - the waiter will bring it over to you.
S Marks The SpotsOctober 15, 2013
The best hot chocolate and churros in Madrid! This cafe has been open since 1984 serving crispy churros and thick dark hot chocolate. Inexpensive and very authentic! Read more
Angelika ParOctober 21, 2019
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.
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
Bea Matti January 3, 2016
Best hot chocolate and churros I have ever had. Must pay a visit. Go early to avoid the queue.
Laura VenturaMarch 18, 2018
There is a take away by the side where lines are normally shorter, only problem is they have no porras which are my preferred choice to churros. Chocolate is amazing
RAKANSeptember 1, 2018
The best churros and chocolate 🍫 in Madrid
🚡 Chris MarraMarch 10, 2018
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.
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.
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
