I felt confident that Churreria El Moro would be the first thing that popped up when Googling…read more"where to get churros in Mexico City." Fun fact it was indeed my first AND second confirmatory search result. So obviously this place is a bit touristy and they have now expanded to 17 locations in CDMX. The churros were piping hot, crunchy, chewy, and delicious. We also had a lot of fun settling on what hot chocolate flavor we wanted to try. We went with the Especial, which had a bit of spice and we really liked. But it didn't really work for dipping (apparently Spanish is the play for the thickest and most dip-able varietal). Prices were pretty reasonable, about $5/$6 USD for a drink and 4 large churros. Endless praise to the staff who were patiently trying to communicate through two language barriers with a large group that was somehow baffled by what both churros and hot chocolate were.

Um... YUM. This spot was originally on my CDMX itinerary as a post-dinner dessert, but since we…read morewere nearby and looking for a snack, we decided to stop in earlier (and honestly, I wish I had gone back again ). There was a small line, and after ordering it did take a bit to get our food, but that was totally fine. Perfection takes time! The ambiance is very casual and geared toward a quick stop. There's plenty of seating for an easy in-and-out, but it's not really a place meant to linger. It's more of an open-concept setup-covered, but still open to the outside air. We ordered the mini ice cream churro sandwiches (can't remember the exact name): two vanilla and one Fresca, which was basically strawberry. Maybe it was because we were hungry, but wow- they smacked. The vanilla paired with the churro was especially incredible. Since I felt like I still hadn't gotten the full churro experience I was craving in CDMX, I hopped back in line and ordered the classic churro. Let me tell you... this thing was HUGE. Basically three churros in one. It came out warm, perfectly crisp, and coated in the best cinnamon topping. You're asked if you want sugar or cinnamon sugar, and with a bit of a language barrier (they don't speak much English), I just said yes and ended up with half cinnamon, half sugar. No complaints here! The cashier and staff were all super friendly and smiley, which made the experience even better despite the communication gap. Overall, such a delicious stop and 100% worth it.

This review is for both the cafe and chocolate shop. The…read moreshop is using high end chocolate such as Valrhona and Republica de Cacao and the prices reflect it. The bonbons are outstanding. The outer shells are whisper thin, reflecting true skill on the part of those casting the chocolate. The fruit fillings are bright and sharp and in the multi-flavored fillings the individual flavors meld harmoniously but are each distinctly recognizable. Highly recommended. The cafe is small with both indoor and outdoor seating. Situated on a quiet, leafy corner of Avenida Amsterdam it's a wonderful place to start the with coffee or an indulgent mocha and pastry. I wish they offered their cakes by the slice as I've never been a big fan of laminated pastry but stuff anything with gianduja and it's bound to rock. N.B. The danish is actually a cruffin made from croissant dough but it's buttery and well laminated and unless you're a weird chocolate hater you'll be happy.

In the past few years, they've expanded to the US in two locations in Southern California. I wanted to see if it was any different in Mexico. The answer is a resounding yes. They're hot and crispy, while maintaining a fluffy center that you just can't find easily in the US. Their dips are pre packaged here. I like cajeta and condensed milk, but chocolate is also a top seller. My wife got an ice cream churro sandwich with mango ice cream. She loved it. The ice cream was creamy and the churros hot. We don't remember ordering this at home, but she really liked it. Most likely I'll be coming back before I go home.

Chocolate dip ($30 Mxn = $1.67 USD ) While the chocolate dip was on the pricier side, I did enjoy dipping my churros in the rich and smooth tasting chocolate. Overall, El Moro is a must visit! Fortunately for me, they have a location in southern California, so I can get my churro fix! This location only had 2 tables, but most people were getting their orders to go, and eat on the run.

I'd say that if you have a sweet tooth, this is perfect combo of creamy and sweet with some crunchiness thanks for the pistachios.

The cone was too sweet though towards the end even for me :P Price wise, this is on the pricier side but this is located in a more expensive area. For $65, you can get a whole pint and a half down the street at the Farmacia but this is well worth it.

It's a relaxing environment perfect to unwind after a day of, say, walking and exploring the nearby Bosque de Chapultepec. Although many reviews here on a number of years old, they are very current in terms of the quality of the dining experience. I'm even surprised they don't have more reviews here, but IYKYK. Certainly the other diners would found their way here were tipped off somehow, because we overheard and met mostly Americans here -- though some locals, too. The drinks are great, and I'd recommend the Mezcalina Mango. It's tangy, a bit sweet and a bit strong which combined for a refreshing welcome. We also ordered a Sangria, I think, which won approval, too. The menu was via QR code, so I may be occasionally mistaken. However, our appetizer was definitely (I think) the chalupas. Three of each (chicken and pork), all in a verde sauce. I believe we had the chalupas de casa, as they came with the queso cotija. Regardless, very good and whet our ravenous appetites. That said, with the entrees and desserts that followed, I allllmost wish that we had saved room. Ah well. One of Angelopolitano's most famous dishes, Chile en nogada, is a total winner. Outstanding, hearty flavors bursting on top of each other. A few other tables ordered it, too, I saw. One lady who had an issue with everything she ordered (starting with her wine and its color) complained about the Chile en nogada. She was surprised by it, somehow. I was embarrassed and kind of surprised that she went off on the staff about it. Everyone else in the restaurant seemed to be loving it. Another signature entree we loved into was the Mole champandungo. Heavenly, and just enough smokiness to it to keep your tastebuds hopping. Between these two entrees, we certainly didn't need the appetizer --- or the desserts, but onward we pressed! Tequila Flan and Mexican Tiramisu. I found both of these good. I did really like the Flan, but thought the Tequila was overkill. (There is a Coco version, which I'd try instead next time). The Mexican Tiramisu was reminiscent of the famous Italian dessert, sort of. Good sweet and coffee flavors swirling about in a slightly gooey, mini casserole pot. Overall, I am a big fan of Angelopolitano. Thrilled we found it, thought service was very good, loved the food, and the comfy, esthetically pleasing interior. Would love to keep exploring their menu -- there is so much here!
