Stopped by this business to get the best churros in Santa Monica from what I've been hearing and wanted to try it out myself. Many items were on the menu from churros, coffee, sandwiches, salads and milkshakes. We ended up ordering Churros Con Chocolate and churros Dulce de Leches. By far it led up to the hype. Best churros I've had in a while. The staff were very attentive, quick and very friendly. Wait time was not long at all. Only street parking was available but it wasn't hard to find as we were able to park right in front of the restaurant. The restaurant itself is extremely cozy and inviting. There was a few tables and chairs outside to sit and of course inside has a bar top table to sit on. Would definitely recommend to others and visit again when I am back in SoCal.
Decided to stop at Churros Calientes for a late night dessert with a friend visiting town. Fresh, warm churros, Thrifty Ice Cream they try to pass off as "gelato", and very pleasant, not overbearing service makes this a great spot. They deliver on what they promise, and that's the bottom line. They have indoor and pet-friendly outdoor seating, which is nice to have that option. Parking can be tough but that's par for the course in the neighborhood. Restroom is next door in the movie theater. Prices a bit high but it's LA (what do you expect, right?).
Food is no doubt churros. Although besides churros, they have ice cream, chocolate, sandwiches, coffees and other tiny bites. Service is plain and simple, order from the menu, get seated and pay. Then you get served the order. Or it can be ordered to go as well. The ambiance is a quaint place with Latin music playing and one tv monitor covering the sounds. It was good. Try at least. Not the cheapest churros, pero it's more a night out.
Very cute, unique hole-in-the-wall dessert spot! Great vibes for a late night hangout / sweet treat with friends. The inside of the shop is super cozy/vibey. There's also outdoor seating. Service was exceptional - the man running the shop is super sweet. Prices are a bit steep, considering the small portion sizes - we got the classic hot cocoa + churro sticks bundle, plus an extra hot cocoa. Everything was delicious and light (not overly heavy/oily). I'd be back to try more items on the menu!
We were in the area and was in search of a place for dessert after dinner. Found this in Yelp and gave it a go. Their churros was good! ... we choose strawberry and chocolate on the outside. I love the strawberry and I'm a chocolate lover but didn't enjoy the chocolate. For drinks we got the chamomile tea and cortado leche y leche which we really enjoyed! Ambiance is cozy. It's a small but nicely decorated place. Dark with small tea lights on the tables at night. Beautiful Latin music playing via the tv monitor. Service is quick. Once you sit down, they get your order and you pay right away. Nice little place to end the night.
Amazing churros and hot chocolate! The customer service was phenomenal. The ambience was super cute and stylish.
Came at night and it was bustling. The biggest problem was service and taste. We sat down as we were told by one of the two men working this night. We waited and waited for about 15 minutes but the older man kept helping and taking orders from walk ins and those who sat on the bar area. We signaled and he seemed to acknowledge us but kept working and never came to take our order. Mind you this is a very small establishment and we sat inside the corner by the window. After we noticed he helped 3 - 4 parties and one take-out I walked over to place my order to the bar! The order is placed with the portable machine that also takes your payment. I tipped as well to later notice there really wasn't service provided. He never came to the table and never came to ask if we needed anything else after. The thick dipping and sipping chocolate was rather insipid. It was not rich in flavor, just plain thick. I'm sad to say I was very disappointed since I came in with high expectations. The churros were fairly plain too and nothing out of the ordinary. Dipping the churros in the chocolate made it even less tasty for some odd reason. It wasn't complimenting each other at all. Pricy for non-existing service and sipping chocolate without sufficient chocolate flavor.
Decided to get dessert here tonight after dinner and it was perfect. We ordered Tres Leches cake and churros as well as Tres Leches cappuccino to share and they were amazing. Coffee was delicious. Never had bad service here. The gentleman has always been friendly and polite. The place is small but charming. A great place for a date night. Love the music. We have been coming here for churros for years. Never disappoint.
This was truly such a random stop to get churros but they did not disappoint. I wouldn't go and say theyre the best churros in the world, because these one in Miami I had once take the cake for that title, but they were definitely great and hit the spot. the chocolate drizzle on top made it even better and we devoured this after a full meal.
Hands down, best hot chocolate and churros! The chocolate caliente was so thick and creamy, absolutely delicious! The churros were soft in the inside and crunchy on the outside, they also have different dips but my fave was the dulce de leche, yum! Still fantasizing about this, should've bought more for take home. Their filet mignon sandwich was also great, highly recommend Churros Calientes. Such a wonderful little gem in LA. Owners were also very friendly, love the ambiance! Will be back !
Churros Calientes, you were an integral part of my UCLA school experience. Thanks for being there for me with all the delicious cafe mochas, hot chocolates and especially the churros. The guava and dulce de leche toppings are great. But definitely get the classic Churros Con Chocolat. Haven't been back in years, but I think back on this place fondly a lot. I bet parking is still a pain too.
I am not sure if this is the same place but I remember going to a churro place on Pico?? We got the order of guava churros. The guava sauce was drizzled on top. I thought it would be in the middle/ inside the churro. Looks like they prefer cash payment but venmo is an option as well. No complaints. Churros were hot and fresh, tasty, good size and good toast / crunch level.
Super tasty! Everyone here is incredibly kind, and the whole experience is quick, simple, and delicious. Such an easy go-to spot when you want great food and great service. The space is on the smaller side but we got great seats.

Still absolutely amazing after all these years! Staff is fantastic, churros are hot, fresh, and crispy, made the perfect way just like Miami or Spain or wherever! Coffees and drinks are all amazing. I love this place and I wish they were closer! But I am happy to visit whenever I am nearby read more

I walked in and everyone was welcoming, they greeted me & took my order right away. However as the night went on, the service got bad since they were taking pictures for social media and instead of focusing on the customers they cared more about taking good pictures of their food for social media. I had to wait like 20 mins for someone to walk by so I could ask for the check & I believe the owner was also there, he seemed like a nice guy but instead of checking in on the customers he was just standing and staring. The ambiance was great ! They had a dj playing & great lighting, it looked nice. Lastly the churros were good, but I felt like they were overpriced & they charge mostly for their presention. The menu said large churros but they were 6 really thin and small churros, I was disappointed. Also the chocolate mousse was good but I believe they had just taken it out of the freezer because there was ice on it. I like to try new places and this was one of them, maybe I caught them on a bad night but would I go back? Probably not. read more

A total gem that I'm sure many drive by and don't even notice. This small family establishment service up amazing drinks, desserts, and other dishes. The atmosphere is charming, relaxing, and simple. Everything we ordered was delicious. The service was excellent. I didn't catch her name, but she was charming and spoke very little English. Yet she was awesome on getting our order and providing us service with a smile. Don't pass this place up. Come on in and enjoy the moment. read more

This is one of my favorite places in LA! Such a cozy and welcoming cafe with the BEST churros con chocolate. Always busy on a friday/weekend but we have always been able to grab a seat at the bar or tables. Parking: meter and free neighborhood parking close read more
OMG, I LOVE this place! It is definitely my FAVORITE churro place. This is the churro spot I will go out of my way for because of how amazing and great it is. It is a small location and they only have outdoor seating. I really do not mind because even during winter they have heaters and since it is small, they keep you warm. The service is always great and if you ask for recommendations, they are more than happy to provide some and answer any questions. I always get the Churros Con Chocolate. It comes with six churros and a small cup of chocolate to dip them in. I cannot explain how amazing it is. You MUST try! My boyfriend likes the churros that come with Ice-Cream. I also get the Cortadito and the Cafe Cubano. Both are great. It does get busy, especially in the winter, but since it is something quick you will find a table. I have also noticed a lot of people order to go. Parking is a little tricky because it is street parking. There is usually plenty of parking at night. I am not sure how it is earlier in the day. I really like that they close pretty late compared to other churro places. :) They do not only have churros. They have food, fresh OJ, smoothies and plenty of other stuff to choose from. I will post pictures of the menu shortly. read more

Churros Callientes is a hidden gem dessert spot serving top-notch churros and hot chocolate, boasting impressive service, a friendly atmosphere, and swift service. read more
Ambiance: this place is open at night for takeout or outdoor seating only Service: very rushed and not patient, it took forever for staff to turn on the heater at a cold night Food: simple menu for churros and sandwiches CHURROS CON CHOCOLATE - ** Six pieces of classic Spanish Churros and a cup homemade hot chocolate, mediocre taste of churros, the chocolate is too thin too dip and too thick to drink Price: certainly overpriced for its quality, and the order costs near $15 for a small cup of chocolate and six churros plus a cup of hot water, very disappointing experience, this place has been on my checkout list for a while, now I can cross it for good read more

Location: no indoor seating, only street parking. but they are open late with some tables outside with a couple of heaters. Order from table at front door. Food: Menu has extensive coffees, teas, and juices along with the churros. I really wanted to love the churros, but they are thin and crunchy. I love my churros crunchy on the outside but with a good amount of chewy inside. I wish this was thicker. I think I'm spoiled because of the great churros available by me in East LA. We ordered the regular churros with Dulce de Leche. My cafe cubano was excellent. read more

Absolutely in love with this place!!!! A small cozy place with great seating and lights. We came around 11:00 and it was busy. We got the og churros with hot chocolate. Churros was crisp from outside and soft from inside and not so sweet. The hot chocolate was straight up chocolate and it was literally very hot so be careful while dipping or sipping on it. We sat there for a long time and people were just coming non stop. read more

I was craving churros and hot chocolate and this place was just what I was looking for! I ordered a chocolate latte with oat milk and a churro filled with chocolate-- savory, warm, and delicious! I checked out the menu and they have a variety of tasty paninis, too. The location is small and cozy, making it a perfect date spot for desserts. This was my first time visiting and the staff was friendly and welcoming-- I will definitely be coming back for more churros! read more

Ask the Community - Churros Calientes
Spanish churros are a breakfast food, but you guys are only open at night, is that correct?
I went there at night time for dessert! I know they are open until 11:30pm Wednesday Thursday and Sunday and 12am Friday and Saturday
Is churro contains dairy and eggs?
It shouldn't, churros are made by mixing flour, water, and a little bit of sugar and salt into a pot, cooking it until it becomes like mashed potatoes; before it's piped into a fryer and becomes the churro we all know and love.
Good place for studying or not really?
No. Small, tight space that is always busy and they would definitely not like people studying here. Best bet is a Starbucks or the bakery/cafe a block or two away.
Are there any vegan options?
Actually nope, just the vegetable soup or any other beverage. But nope :)
