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.

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

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

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.

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.

One of the best spot in Madrid to try churros and hot chocolate 🍫 Nicely designed ✨ lovely staff 🤍

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!
Fabio TadashiSeptember 11, 2016
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

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

The best place for churros in Madrid.
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.
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!
Gezen GörenDecember 4, 2015
loved the churros.. nice place.. often over-crowded
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
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. :)
S PJune 20, 2022
Another Madrid institution. Some of the best churros and hot chocolates. A must try at least once!
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.
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.
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
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!
Katarzyna StawnaNovember 8, 2017
Delicious churros and hot chocolate. Obligatory place to visit. Lovely service and interior ❤
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.
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.
Justine GAugust 13, 2017
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!

Dozens of this kind of black and white photos of the world celebrities at the entrance decorate the salon's walls. I did mine too, couldn't get to the "wall of fame" though.. nevermind 🙃

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 :))
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!
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!
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!!!
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.
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!!!

The best churros and chocolate 🍫 in Madrid
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
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.
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.
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!!!
Bea Matti January 3, 2016
Best hot chocolate and churros I have ever had. Must pay a visit. Go early to avoid the queue.
asha zaharudinDecember 20, 2014
I came here to try the churros and hot chocolate and now I never want to leave! Great vibe and good for those random churro cravings.
MarvinMay 10, 2019
This place gets all of the tourists and it shows, the staff aren't friendly and often will bump into you in the basement without apologizing. They know they have a booming business and it shows.
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.
Xavier Garcia AdanezMay 28, 2015
Chocolate con churros a traditional must in Madrid. If you like chocolate then you'll be delighted. If you don't... Anyway to be visited
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
Fodor's TravelSeptember 19, 2017
Served warm and rolled in sugar crystals, these fried-dough twists carry a cinnamon accent and are sometimes stuffed with chocolate. Read more

Churros heaven!! Delicious chocolate y churros, and a solid portion at that. Super efficient service too - try to sit outside if you can
