The Great Churro Hunt: La Churreria

I've been thinking about churros non-stop since I got back from Spain. I've tried quieting the craving by stuffing cupcakes down my gullet, but to no avail. I'm a churro addict. Kristin also became addicted by reading our blog posts. We couldn't sit idly by hoping our churro desire would dissipate on its own, we had to do something about it. So today we began the Great Churro Hunt.

Luckily Cat didn't have to work today so we all got to take part in the hunt together. We met down in SoHo at a place called La Churreria. We figured a place named after churros would be our best bet and it got good Yelp reviews. While waiting for a tardy Cat we witnessed three young boys skipping school to get churros. "This is it! This is it!" They yelled, smiling, pointing at the churros in the window. Had they been a bit older I might just have fallen in love today.

First we ordered food. Me and Kristin shared a mediocre sandwich, in true Spanish fashion. Cat got a few tapas, which were no extravaganza for the taste buds, but okay. Then for the churros. The excitement! The expectations! The dipping chocolate was good, no pudding, but that was quite an exceptional treat. The churros, however, were not so good. They were too chewy and dense.

The churros made my mouth feel funny. They were so chewy. They made my mouth feel itchy in a not-so-itchy kind of way. I was not very impressed! Also, the place did not have a bathroom. And it is a sit-down-restaurant. C'mon now. And the place was only rated B, which we realized AFTER we ordered our food. Not to be a gloomy gus, but I was not super impressed! I did like the dipping chocolate though.
