Hands down the best I had in Madrid. There are many (i mean LOTS) of places to get churros but this was the best I had.

We went here just to get some late night snacks, and this place didn't disappoint. Their churros was different from what I've gotten used to eating in the US. It's not covered with sugar. It came with hot chocolate. It was delicious! The hot chocolate wasn't very sweet. The service was a little slow. The wait is a bit long. The restaurant was always packed. The staff were busy running around. I don't mind coming back if I'm in town. read more

Came here looking for some late night churros. I forewarn those who are used to Disneyland and Costco Churros, these are not the same. The churros in Spain are meant to be eaten plain as is (without sugar) with a cup of hot chocolate. I will also warn you that the chocolate is not all sweet! I personally enjoyed them as I like a touch of sweet rather than a churro lathered with sugar. Valor is a great option because it does have other chocolate options such as banana and orange. Staff was nice but seemed to be overwhelmed as tables were full the whole time we were there. read more

A must when in Madrid's old town! I have been coming here for more than a decade, and I never get tired of their crispy hot churros and amazing coffee! read more

Valor - Churros & coffee with a view! - Chocolatiers & Shops Near Me - Madrid, M

We tried all the big names and other chains, and we most loved the darker chocolate and denser churros at Valor over any others. We had churros at more than 10 places in Madrid and here the churros are heavier and have more cake substance than the light carnival style elsewhere. Portions are small so you need a serving of 4 per person. If you want quantity for cheap then go to Maestro. If you want the experience indoors go to San Gines, but for my taste Valor was best. read more

Slow service. Rude, passive aggressive waitress. Also rude to a customer next to us but he was smart and bailed before his order was taken after the waitress was rude to him too. read more

We had churros and chocolate for breakfast at this place. We were seated outside and the service was fine. You need to order the churros and chocolate separately (not sure whether it comes out to be more expensive than the other places). The churros are smooth and do not have ridges so not as much chocolate adheres to the surface on the dip. The chocolate is good, but not as rich as the other places. Of the other two places (1902 and San Gines), this was a distant third. Given how close they are to each other, it is hard to justify getting churros here rather than the other two locations. read more

Hands down best churros in town. This one definitely beats San Gines. While San Gines is 24 hours, Valor opens "limited" hours, or typical Spanish hours. San Gines feel very touristy/busy while Valor feels more relaxed/local. They offer outdoor seating/tables. What I really like about Valor is the variety in chocolate sauces offered. I especially liked the churros with the white chocolate sauce. Although the price is rather steep, I'd totally pay the premium just for the wide range of options. Service is fast and friendly enough. Your best way to get here is by foot. I traveled here via taxi and the driver had to take a detour because some streets were under construction. I ended up walking for a few minutes anyways, after being dropped off on a nearby major street. Also, make sure you show them the exact address since few taxi drivers speak fluent English. The bathroom, located downstairs, is much cleaner than San Gines. read more

It waa pretty good. Fresh churroz. Their chocolate was strong and thick. I enjoyed it The tea was the winning piece for me. Smell amazing. Since the chocolate was so sweet the tea really finish off the taste. I enjoyed it. No long line waiting. I went around 5pm. Seated outside. The waits staffs can understand English. Over all I loved this place for goood churroz on chocolate. Churroz price was very cheap. Chocolate average price. Tea was most expensive but worth it. All together under 10 euro. read more

Randomly stumbled upon this place by seeing the sign for chocolate. It's a fondue restaurant. Service: sucked. There were way way way too many people and like 3 people work. It took way too long to try to pay and leave. Food: the basic fondue combo wasn't all that great. Get the sampler or just stick with the white chocolate one because it was the best. We also got cafe con leche which was a great size and really good. The fondue comes with churros and they are sooo good. It comes out in a family style serving on one big plate. Price: reasonable Parking: none, walk because it's in the city. read more

This is a chain of cafes/chocolate shops in Madrid serving churros and chocolate. To be honest I have had much better churros and chocolate in Madrid before but it's not bad. Plenty of outdoor seating and service is ok. This place is nothing special really but it's not bad. read more

A little pricey for churros but they tasted better than all the other churros I ate in Spain. Service isn't great and neither was the caffe latte so that's why I have to give this place 4 stars. The chocolate for the churros is delicious except for 1 out of the 4 chocolates which wasn't even warm. The other 3 were warm and delicious, especially the white chocolate. read more

There are a few other places for churros y chocolate, but this is the only one I had the chance to visit. Madrid has an amazing thick creamy and decadent hot chocolate that everyone must experience at least once. I wasn't too crazy about the churros, but they go very well with the drink. read more

This is the second of my Churros con Chocolate stop reviews though the third place I have stopped,,,, Of the three (San Gines and Chocolate are the other two) Valor is quite different, First it is part of a chain, Valor has been around since 1881 and operates several restaurants around Spain There chocolates can be bought at grocery stores throughout the country and beyond. Second it is much larger maybe double the seating of the other to...maybe more then that, Third the menu is much bigger though with a chocolate theme, I should have counted but there were 8-10 different hot chocolates, milk shakes, ice cream and the list goes on, And finally the Churros they were far less dense then the others, round on the sides and a bit greasier then the others. The chocolate was similar to the others, all were very good. The space a Valor is nice, marble counter, table cloths, uniformed staff. As big as it is they still get lines, when I first was going to go there were perhaps a 18 people outside waiting. The churros here were about a euro higher then the other two. Would I go back? yes somehow to me it always feels so...Spanish. and the churros are always very tasty.. read more

When I was in Spain con mi abuelita we tried chocolate shoppes all over the place. Valor was one of my top picks. While it is a franchise this spot has been there since 1800s and it has a real charm. They make them fresh in front of you and the chocolate is to die for. The only way for me to get stuff like this in the states is if my mom or abuelita make the family recipe. We went to San Gines as well and honestly you can't go wrong with either. However, I prefer the actual churro at Valor and the chocolate at San Gines. It's a toss up and a matter of preference. The one thing that this had ad real value for me was the fact that this feels more local. San Ginés had gotten so popular that it's crazy busy and this had a nice chill vibe. We brought some chocolate home to make real hot chocolate when we make churros at home. read more

Wouldn't it be wonderful if they offer this tasty treat at Bay Area donut/pastry/cafes? Fresh piping-hot churros dipped in a cup of warm rich and smooth dark chocolate. A sugar shaker located at each table allowing patrons to reach their desired level of sweetness. It's simply delightful to be favoring this on a beautiful afternoon. It's like a dream you can taste in your mouth. Ahh...what a wonderful life! read more

Decent chocolate, not-so-good churro, but fast and friendly service. I think San Gines has better churros y chocolate, or at least the churros. Thought I haven't found a good place in Madrid that serves really good churros. read more

We tried a couple of the chocolate shops during our trip to Madrid and this was our favorite. You sit down and order from a server which is unlike some of the other shops where you order from the counter. We had the chocolate and churros. The chocolate was rich and delicious and the churros were still warm. Everything tasted great. My food was all really good, and the service was great. If you are looking for some chocolate and churros, this is the place to be. read more

I've never had drinking chocolate before. This was rich and bold. I really enjoyed the hot fresh churros. The cafe itself is charming and the counter service was perfect and friendly. I had a lovely experience here. read more

My Favorite Chocolate stop in Madrid. It can get really crowded with Locals in the evening hours but so worth the wait. The Churros so fresh and soft- never had a fresh churro like this before- melted in my mouth like freshly baked pastries from the oven. The chocolate variations are incredible and you can drink them as it is drinking chocolate. Oh...see my pics! read more

This place is a joke. Rude staff, disinterested in life or anything of substance. "Milkshake" was literally lukewarm milk with no ice cream. Tourist trap, save your money and move on. read more

Get chocolate to-go from Valor and rush to San Gines for their churros. Combine the two and BOOOM! you have the best churros con chocolate combo ever. With that said, the chocolate here is my favorite so far in Madrid but the churros suck pretty bad. I went one time and the churros were warm and fresh (7/10... not bad) but another time I went and it was cold and limp (1/10). Please have consistent churros!!!! The chocolate here taste fresher and has more of a genuine taste than San Gines. If you're here visiting Madrid, this place is definitely worth at least a one time visit. read more

After trying San Ginés, the churros and chocolate cafe that is open 24/7, I have to say that Valor is not as good. The chocolate is sweeter and thicker, and the churros are much more oily and doughy. The service is nice and the restaurant is quaint and always busy, but I don't know if I would return for the churros. However, they do have other items on their menu like ice cream, and would possibly come back to try them. Also, I would definitely recommend sharing a hot chocolate with a friend, as it is so sweet. read more

Valor - churros con chocolate - Chocolatiers & Shops Near Me - Madrid, M

Another Chocolate churro spot that I found while walking around Madrid. While the chocolate here is similar to the San Gines Chocolateria, the churros are a bit "meatier" and much more greasy (is that even possible???). Service is SUPER slow. Now, I understand that Spanish people don't rush through things but this was on the extreme. I think they had one dude waiting on the entire place. It's still an OKAY place to get a quick dessert fix, but I'd probably skip this location. read more

I loved spending time here when I was living in Spain, despite not even being a huge chocolate fiend. (They have a nice selection of teas, good coffee, and juices as well). The churros are delicious--very fresh and fluffy, and they pair well with the different (very concentrated) chocolate sauces--milk, white, and dark. They aren't covered in a sugary shell, so they're actually not as sweet as one might expect, if one is not familiar with European churros. There are also many ice cream and sundae options that seem good as well... I thought the ambiance was great here, both indoors and outside--though outside provides for a better people watching experience. Valor is a really tranquil place to relax during the day, but it gets very crowded at night, so plan ahead! I'd go with my local friends around 10 or 11pm, and we'd often have to wait a bit. But totally worth it! We'd head here after a long day and hang out for hours. Perfect end to the night or perfect place to regroup and recharge before going out. I will definitely be back! read more

Love their fresh churros and got chocolate! I was determined to try the same thing at various different places so I didn't get an opportunity to try anything else read more

Ever since eating the chocolate y churros here, I have been wanting to go back to Madrid just to eat them again! The hot chocolate is so rich and delicious, unlike any other hot chocolate I have ever had. And the churros are so good dipped into the chocolate. A great marriage of smooth and rough textures mixing in your mouth. read more

The coffee with milk and the Churros with chocolate were wonderful and truly local. We stayed there for a while to check out the passer-by and it was one of the more relaxing things in life. Best of all, the price was reasonable (really good value!) and I would recommend to all. read more

The chocolate items on the menu are devine. The miniature cookies filled with ice cream, with chocolate syrup drizzled on it was exquisite. Anything ice cream is good here. Just buy it. The tables outside provide a nice people watching venue as people hustle to and fro. If you love chocolate and people watching this is the place to be. Oh, the cappuccino is great too! read more

The churros and chocolate sponge cake were amazing, but the service not so good! The server - morrocan guy with glasses was very rude and cocky when we asked them some questions. I guess not working on tips is making such a difference! read more

We ordered the churros and hot chocolate. I liked them better than the ones from San Gines (texture, chocolate sweetness). However, I wish they had powdered sugar instead of granulated sugar. read more

Very nice chocolatería. Great chocolate and churros, great coffee, great atmosphere and decor. It maintains an older feel with lots of tile, metal, and stone. Normal to see cute Spanish kids begging more chocolate from their moms and grandmas. Just a wonderful place to enjoy a relaxing cup! read more

Get the chocolate churros with the chocolate cinnamon dip!! We could not get over how delicious that one was- we tried a couple of other chocolate dips that were just okay, but the cinnamon one was a game changer. read more

Hot chocolate that is thick enough to be eaten with a spoon... Fresh fried churros... Good coffee, pleasant ambiance, fresh squeezed juices and lots more chocolate treats. I learned that the Spanish take their chocolate seriously and this place was busy morning, noon, and night. Highly recommended. read more
