First heard about this churro stand on a food tour in Puerto Vallarta over a year ago, wasn't able to check it out because the tour ended before the stand was open. Made it a point to find and try this place since we had more time to linger and it was absolutely worth the wait. We enjoyed it so much that we brought our friends to enjoy the churros with a second day in a row. Second generation churro maker, the stand has been in continuous business for 40+ years. We inhaled our churros both times before it had a chance to get cold. Both times there was a line. Stand opens at 4pm, don't wait, try it out yourself. read more

This guy is an institution of PV. I believe he is the third generation to run this stand - in the same place - for years. He has upgraded his shop with an efficient set up and sometimes he has family members working with him. He's there everyday but one (sorry can't remember which) right outside the church. And boy are they tasty! And inexpensive. I got (3) 6" churros for 10 pesos. Enough to satisfy my sweet tooth! Can you really say you have been to PV if you haven't visited the churro guy? read more

This stand was good if you like crispy all the way through. I prefer custards middles, but these were good.

Que deliciosos! These are very simple and yet very elegant churros. Crispy and fresh.. made to order and made to be enjoyed immediately. Family owned and operated.. what more could you want? Highly recommend read more

Best churros in PV! Super crunchy and airy! Every bite tastes heavenly. We were lucky enough to grab the last batch of churros as we've been told the churro man is not always here. So if you're lucky enough to come on a day when he is open, definitely get the biggest bag of 20 churros. Super cheap and oh so good! I wish I could put him in my pocket and take him back to the US with me! Don't think twice about visiting this churro stand if you're ever in PV! read more

Churro Stand - Churros Near Me - Puerto Vallarta, JAL

When in PV you have got to go to this little stand. There is always a line, but it moves fast and worth the wait. So, so good.

In A Nutshell: -5 years later, this famous churro stand is still knocking out great treats one churro at a time! -The formula is still the same: hand crank the secret churro mixture out into a hot vat of oil, then tossing the freshly fried sweet treats into a metal bowl of sugar & cinnamon. -You can buy them by nearly any amount you want & the prices are still very, very low. Overall, I'm so glad this little stand is flourishing! read more

Delicious churros. Friendly fella making them for legit 3 peso each. They were delicious. After we placed our order we walked over to the corner a little ways down and he came over to tell us we were holding the bag wrong and had to leave the bag open so the churros didn't get soggy. The man loves his craft. read more

I made it a point this year to get to this churro stand as I found about it too late last year. LOCATION: The Yelp location pin is wrong by a block east. It's located at the corner of Aguacate & Lázaro Cárdenas right by the Iglesia de la Santa Cruz church. No hours are posted but the 5pm start time is accurate. I assumed there'd be a long line and a quick sell out but I saw people carrying the goods well past 8:30pm and no line was there when we went. THE STAND: It's a simple operation and they're made hot and fresh on the spot. A tripod holding up what looks like a big caulking gun is instead full of churro batter, aimed at a bubbling pot of oil. He squeezes them out one by one, cutting them with a swift swipe of a knife. They fry for just a few seconds before being dusted in cinnamon and sugar. MENU: Churros! FOOD: Churros - 3 for 5 pesos (25 cents USD) What a deal! There's nothing like eating them hot. While super crunchy, they weren't thick enough to produce a moist interior which is what makes a churro even more delectable and a bit of a downfall for me. You get the taste of a churro but not the whole package. SERVICE: Not friendly at all. I get it that some tourists can be annoying but he literally barked-back responses to simple questions about price to people before us, a total turn-off to me. Be appreciative that people patronize your biz and don't take them for granted!? OVERALL: Not a repeat for me. I already know of a good spot for churros which I'll go back to next time and will continue exploring the area for more options. read more

He is the Churros Guy so it's confusing when you check in and find out he's the Churros Stand on Yelp. Used to be 20 pesos for 10 churros, today it was 20 pesos for 7 churros As always, he is fast (there were about 10 people in line ahead of us, no one in line after us when we left, so it's sporadic) , and they are served hot, and we ate them as we walked home and they were delicious it is on the same street as our favorite restaurant, Marisquería Los Lirios, where we always go on our first night of arrival in PV Shrimp tacos, margaritas and then churros The best first night in Puerto Vallarta every time read more

These are the best churros I've ever had in my life! They are freshly made when you order them. I highly recommend visiting this stand.

Found this guy right outside of Act2PV. He extruded the batter with this special piston like machine directly into the oil. Got 4 pieces for 7 pesos, which is less than 50 cents. The churros are thin, crispy, fresh. Average churro for a great price, but an average churro is still delicious. read more

Very good and inexpensive churro's. I love the history behind it too! We got there and watched the man get ready to serve. Cash only so make sure you're ready. read more

I don't know how this man does it. Every day he shows up, sets up his stand and cranks out churro until he runs out of dough. His hours are kind of erratic. I've heard 5 to 8 but I was past today at 530 and he was still setting up. and I've gone by at 9 and he is still there. mind you I am sure there are 5 to 8 dsys. I try and pass between 6 and 730 and he is always there. Still his fresh churro are amazing. One of the things I remember fondly when I am away. more amazing still he basically gives them away a current that is about 6 inches long for a pesos? wow! then when his shift is done he breaks it all down. It's easy to find him he is on the corner next to.the pretty church with a steeple. you might have to wait. Today there were a bunch of scouts in green uniforms waiting patiently.... read more

Biggest let down ever!!!!! We had planned our day around making sure we could get churros and it was a complete bummer. I will never visit again. The actual churro had no flavor, all the flavor was the sugar. Considering all the videos and positive commentary surrounding this place, I was incredibly disappointed. You can get a better churros at Costco. read more

Churros are always a win. Deep fried dough rolled in cinnamon sugar and filled with your choice of sugary sweet sauce is my idea of heaven. They are perfectly fluffy and fresh out of the fryer when you order. read more

Apparently the guy has been here for decades. He makes the freshest, lightest churros I've ever had for 3 pesos a pop. Definite must visit in PV read more

Crunchy, warm, sweet, soft, delicious, worth the hunt. The owner does not open until 5, hence why I looked for 4 days had not found him. I had heard the magical stories but searched high and low to no avail; then asked some of the locals where I could find the magic and they directed me and informed me that the magic doesn't happen until 5pm. Cinderella and he pumpkin have nothing on this place! Look for it at the church. read more

Had dinner and the place had churros on the menu but they ran out. So I found this place on Yelp and was on a hunt for it. It's definitely in an area that's a little less touristy so just be on the lookout for this stand. It's not exactly where the pinpoint is, you might have to go over a block here and there. We eventually found it right outside Church because there was mass going on. Definitely recommend coming here for authentic street Mexican churros if you're in PV! read more

Why the hell would anyone not enjoy fresh churros, cranked directly into the oil, cooked, sugared and served to you with a smile for almost no money? Exactly... exactly... read more

20 freshly-made churros for $30 MXN Pesos - around $1.65 USD. Can't beat that. We cleaned out the stand - the proprietor makes them in batches of around 20. The owner of the stand has been there for 46 years (his dad started the stand, and now he runs it). He starts around 4PM, and usually runs out by 7PM, so get there early. Costco churros, eat your heart out. read more

Authentic Mexico rolled up in a hot churro! The churro guy's usually there on Saturday nights after church let's out. He's stationed on the back side of the church, right on the street. There's usually a line of families waiting. It's always such a treat to get this yummy treat! I think he charges like $20 pesos for a small bag of churros. Always gives me smile to stand in line and order a bag of sweet goodness. read more

Heaven. It looks simple yet when you take the first bite you have a hard time not hugging the owner. These are the churros all other churros are trying to be. read more

Best churros in town! Probably the only churros in town. We spent so much time looking for this place and i'm glad we did! First of all it's a peso per churro. ONE PESO.

2 gringo Americans with a 9 month old baby in a stroller, walking the bumpy and beat up streets of PVR looked out of place for sure. We found this guy setting up. Came back right when he opened up. 20 pesos for a good sized bag. Best churros I've ever had. Took the sketchy city bus back to our resort too. He's in town, quite a few blocks off the main drag. There's a tortilleria nearby, go there too. read more

For being the only churro stand in the area, you would hope to have an exceptional taste. These churros tasted like the pre-packaged crackers at a grocery store. If you have ever had a churro at Costco, then you would prefer the Costco churro over these by ten folds. (Not saying Costco holds any high standard for churros either). read more

The Churro Guy is an institucion here in PV. I have been here a LOT of times. Classic Mexico - nothing is consistent. Everyone posts his hours differently here because he shows up when he wants and leaves when he runs out. Generally, 5-8pm will get you churros. I have paid as little as a peso a churro for six, and as much as 20 pesos for 10. Never paid more than 2 pesos each. The quality of the churros is usually excellent, but I have been twice where they were just OK. For that reason I give four stars. read more
