Warm, fresh churros, perfectly soft and fluffy on the inside and goldenly crunchy on the outside. These are the delicious churros of Churros Pepe.
I am not exaggerating when I say that these are the best churros in all of Santiago. I have tried many different places and everywhere else pales in comparison.
Pepe's, a family run and owned churro truck, is located amidst the hustle and bustle of Pio Nono. The father and son duo set up shop around 5pm everyday and stick around throughout the night making these tiny sticks of golden goodness for their loyal followers...er I mean customers.
I recommend ordering a couple of their 500 peso churros filled with deliciously rich dulce de leche (you also have the option to fill it with a berry jam...don't do that). If you want a lighter option, you can buy a dozen thinner churros flowered with powdered sugar for $1.800 or 6 for $1mil.
When you come to pick up your night's treats, Pepe will talk with you while making your order. He is super nice and funny and is always joking around. When I brought my brother here he stopped what he was doing to talk with us for a while and take a couple of pictures. He even gave us a bit extra manjar in our churros :)
This small churro truck should not be missed while in Bella Vista, it is a perfect snack for anytime of the day and will always have you wishing you bought one more...
Tip:
I think this is a given, but just in case, bring cash! They don't take cards.
Also, check the news, if there is going to be a big strike during the afternoon, they usually don't open. read more
