This is why it pays off to watch where people check in. Thanks to Maria G. for alerting me to this total gem. I mean if you can ignore the graffiti outside. I don't usually eat churros. I think of them as being tough and greasy. Clearly that is because I had never had one from the Churro Factory. We came in post brunch wanting something sweet. We ordered one of each kind of churro: strawberry, chocolate, vanilla, and cream cheese. There was a long wait and we didn't see any churros ready to go. That is because they were making them fresh in the back. OMG! To die for! They were hot, fluffy and melt in your mouth delicious. My favorite was the strawberry and the hubz preferred the chocolate. They were all oustanding. The hot drinks (hot chocolate, cafe con leche) were not as impressive as they came out of a machine. But that's ok because the churros more than made up for it. So, turn a blind eye to gang markings on the exterior because the tremendous cinnamon sugar pillows you find on the inside are worth it! read more

The Churros here are a definite five because they are so darn fresh, you can see them being made before your eyes. Then you can get them filled exactly how you want them. You will be so excited you might think you need to buy them in all kinds of flavors. You would be wrong. Not that these aren't delicious but they are very filling what with all that freshly fried dough, sugar cinnamon and filling. I ordered three and could only eat two. But I was too full, I should have stopped at one. Or not eaten lunch. The store itself is small and a bit shabby. We took ours to the car and ate them on the ride home. A bonus was that we were there as school was letting out and it was cute as heck to see all the neighborhood kids were stopping by for a churro. I would go again but I would have an empty tummy so maybe I could eat two and not feel like a beached whale. read more

Guy who served us our order was pleasant and kind and helpful. The churros were fresh and were hot. My favorite was the funnel cake with sprinkles on top. read more

I found this place by accident about 8 months ago and was too full and too scared to go in. That was a dum-dum mistake!! Warm fresh churros await you in sugary heaven inside this place! Insanely cheap, too! Free fillings inside said churros. Yummmm! I opted for cream cheese and it was the best decision. I will definitely be back! They also serve funnel cakes. I had no idea places had funnel cakes outside of carnivals and fairs. My life has taken a turn for the better (or worse if you ask my blood sugar)!! read more

Thanks to yelp we found Xurro and were not disappointed. The place is tiny with very limited seating, but we managed to snag a table of four just as a group left. We ordered the churritos (basically smaller version of churros) that took awhile to cook...must not be a popular item but it was a little crunchy and delicious. We were given a free churro for the long wait and still preferred our churrito. My kids and I also got the ice cream which was good too. read more

These churros are delicious... probably the best I've had. They are so soft on the inside and perfectly crispy on the outside, so delicious. I love watching them fill it up right in front of you. I've gotten all the flavors and they are all legit, so I have no specific recommendations. I was going to give it a 4 star since they gave me my churros in a paper bag and when i got home the grease soaked through the entire bag. But then I realized I'm not rating this place based on how healthy the food is, but on how good the churros are. 5 stars!!! Don't come here too often for your own good though! read more

Quite the shack from the outside, but it's quaint and clean inside. Street parking is possible, but don't park in the Walgreen's lot. You can get plain churros, filled churros, ice cream, churros w/ice cream, coffee, and hot chocolate (Ghirardelli or Nestle Abuelita - which has a hint of cinnamon). The churros were so fresh and were still warm when they arrived in our hands. For $3-4, you can get an 8" long churro and a warm drink. read more

I thought there would be more than four flavor varieties since this place is called the Churro Factory. I thought it would be the end all, be all, to Mexican pastry deliciousness. Even though the flavor options were somewhat boring I will admit the churros here are the best I've had. They are soft on the inside and crunchy on the outside. These aren't the tough, dry churros I've had elsewhere. Every day they add a fifth flavor and it rotates the same each week. I didn't recognize what Friday's flavor was, which was surprising because my Spanish isn't that terrible. I generally recognize names of fruits or foods. Every day they have chocolate, strawberry, vanilla, and cream cheese though. I would have liked to try the peanut butter, apple, pina colada or Nutella, but I was there on the wrong day. The filling comes out of a tube, and the girl behind the counter fills them for you. I had one chocolate and one cream cheese. I also tried my husband's strawberry churro, but I liked the cream cheese best, although strawberry was definitely #2. The chocolate tastes too much like Hershey's chocolate syrup. For only $1/each, it's a perfect snack while wandering through Pilsen. Visiting Churro Factory is a must if you are in the area, but it's not a place I'd make a destination out of. A lot of kids were just getting out of school and stopping in to hang out, so there's a possibility that the few tables here will be full and you'll be stuck sitting in your car or walking down the street to eat your churros. read more

Churro Factory is PERFECT for when you want a little more "umph!" from your churro. You can order a plain churro and you can opt to have it filled with one of their tasty fillings (chocolate, cream cheese, vanilla, strawberry, or caramel). Churro Factory also has one additional flavor per day, it's like a daily special--all I can remember is that on Tuesdays you can get NUTELLA churros! Oh me, oh my!! You can also order churritos which are mini churros and you can get them drizzled with your favorite flavor. Here's the best part: you can get churro sundaes and even FUNNEL CAKES! Everything is fresh, and of course you're going have to get a beverage along with your churros! Try their lemonade--it's freshly squeezed and to die for! I love that churros are no longer a thing of carnivals, six flags, or fairs. They're a part of our neighborhood lifestyles! Definitely hit up the churro factory for plenty of churro options! read more

I did not purchase a Churro. $5 plastic limit and I had no cash. This review is based on the customer service. It was clear that I did not belong there from my first foot in the door. I was not "greeted" and I was not attended to as the native Spanish speakers were. The cashier did not seem pleased that I did not know right away what I wanted. My questions about any house specialties were answered with grunts and then short words. The native Spanish speakers were treated nicely; maybe I needed to speak Spanish. There was dialogue and smiles reciprocated through their ordering process. I would seriously have ordered $5 worth of something were I made to feel like a valued customer. I simply excused myself, especially after seeing how not friendly they were to me. read more

love this place!!!!! I suppose i could share more (AHEM)...tiny little place in Pilsen , so small if you didnt know it was there you wouldnt see it. HOWEVER this has to be the greatest place to intact sugar at maximum capacity. I am not a churro fan, havent eaten thiem before, however I could see where eating them by the bucketload coulc become a problem. Excellent, warm, there's cream inside if you like...not extra, they just give it to you...plus the possibility of iced coffee or smoothies....im guessing this place is packed after school days (its across the street from a high school). Anyways...go here...often....like!! read more

What a great place for kids! On our kids tour of Pilsen this was our final stop. When we pulled up there was easy free parking. The girl working the counter was friendly and helpful. You choose your quantity of Churros and they make them in the back. Fresh. You then choose your fillings. Today there was a choice of chocolate vanilla strawberry and guava. We choose 2 of each and two plain. The nice girl let us watch our Churros being filled and handed us warm crispy on the outside and soft and sweet on the inside perfect Churros. Best ice ever had. We had so much fun here and the prices were cheap. A dozen Churros for ten bucks . Pilsen was a great place to go with kids and this was a great way to end it!! read more

The Churro Factory is awesome! I ordered a dozen Churros for only $10.00. Not bad at all. Lemonade was alright. Wish I would've tried the spicy mexican chocolate drink. I would've gave it five stars if the tables and floor were cleaner. Other than that, this place is great. I will definitely go back. read more

Delicious! I ordered the nutella milkshake which came with a plain churro. I loved it!

"It smells so good out here, mommy!" That's my 5 year old as we stepped out of the car. Indeed it does smell really good outside Churro Factory. Freshly made churros and cinnamon--smells so good! It's on the smaller side, but I love how our churros are made fresh to order and you can get them filled on the spot. There are four or five filling flavors--all I remember was strawberry as that was the one my son kept asking for. $10 for a dozen churros. Sweet sweet deal. They also offer coffee, horchata and other drinks. Unfortunately the Horchata tasted totally like instant horchata powder so we won't be getting that again. But the Churros? yes yes yes. Next time we might do the ice cream and churros option. Doesn't that sound yum? read more

YESSSS I'll get the bad out of the way... its pretty small. Like, tiny. So better for pickups instead of hangouts. Now, the awesome: A. Waaaay cheaper than tourist location in Navy Pier. Go to this one! $10 one dozen churros. B. NUTELLA stuffed churros (i forgot which day of the week) C. If you know your mexican drinks, they sell atole too and its delishussss read more

Hot churros filled with your choice of strawberry, chocolate, cream cheese, vanilla or you can just have it plain. Any way you go they're amazing! You can't beat how inexpensive everything is. Try the churritos they're so cute and delicious. I had a cream cheese filled churro covered in white chocolate and topped off with peanuts... wow. perfect with a hot chocolate. 5 estrellas ! read more

It was super pact when we went. Looking for sugary fair food and they provided. Space could have been larger and a bit cleaner, but still checked all the boxes. read more

4 stars for the slow service (but to be fair they were very crowded which I alway take as a good sign! But to be sure the food it 5 stars! I hope they're able to hire more folks) But the churro was worth the wait! I had the chocolate churro, which was fresh out the oven warm, perfectly sprinkled with cinnamon and sugar and when I bit in the chocolate came melting out! Yum! Paired with a horchata it was the perfect desert! read more

Who doesn't like fried dough? And if there's somebody out there that says they don't, well don't trust them! I've grown up with the best Mexican sweets and treats, including churros. But it's been a long time since I've actually bought a churro to bask in nostalgia. We were having a potluck at work to celebrate the holidays. Last minute decision was to bring churros to the party instead! So I came to the Churro Factory last Wednesday evening in the midst of running other errands. It's super tiny, about 4 tables, with the counter and the kitchen where all the churro magic happens. I got kinda worried when I saw their churro display was empty. I asked if it were possible to order 2 dozen churros and they said yes! I decided to stick to the usual, strawberry, chocolate, and plain kinds, but they also had cream cheese and one other flavor that I can't remember at the moment. They made a fresh batch within 15 minutes! They were soooo warm and fresh! And of course everyone loved the churros at the party. Parking around there can be a pain. Well, especially in the evening because there's a high school right across the street, so you have to zig zag around many double parked cars. But I imagine during off peak pickup/drop off hours, parking shouldn't be an issue. read more

OH MY GOD!! if you haven't made it over to this little piece of heaven you need to go now! This quant little find was amazing. I was actually with a fellow bridesmaid for my best friends wedding looking for traditional mexican fare to go with her mexican themed bridal shower. we had made our way over to a market in the pilsen neighborhood and just didn't know where to find good churros..we asked the local cops on bikes and sure enough they had a recommendation...at first when they said Churro Factory I thought it was some kind of joke but we made our way over..only to find this tiny little building next to Walgreens that was nothing the size of a factory! My friend and I walked in to find an assortment of options on the menu and a gentleman making fresh churros to order through the glass window. We decided to purchase some churros to taste before placing an order and WOW! they were delicious! Fresh, warm and perfect with a warm chocolate or vanilla sauce! The girl behind the counter was extra nice and helpful in placing an order for pick up early saturday morning. The prices are great at this place and they have more than just churros...from pina colada's to fully sundae desserts it's a great stop to satisfy your sweet tooth....located minutes away from a school the children were swinging through the doors non stop...man I wish this was a stop on the way home from school for me when I was a kid! read more

FREAKING DELICIOUS. Before I go into my review, though, I did want to note that finding this spot was a bit tricky/confusing - not because of its location, but because it's called a few different names, depending on what you look at (Google Maps, Yelp, etc.): it says "Xurro" on the outside of the building, initially pops up as "Xocoatl" on maps, but the website says "The Churro Factory". Anyhoo, on to the good stuff... I bought several to try: chocolate, vanilla, cream cheese, strawberry and the flavor of the day (Saturday), dulce de leche. LOVE that they fill them up right there on the spot. After I tried one of the vanilla ones, I was sad I had already promised to bring them over to a friend's. I WANTED THEM ALL. (well, maybe not the strawberry, I don't think anything fruity qualifies as a decent dessert) Loved it so much the first time, had to drive back the following weekend from the 'burbs because I couldn't get the thought of them out of my head! Both times I had them freshly made, so they had that perfect balance of crisp on the outside from the cinnamon sugar and warm, soft inside. Me being an all-things-chocolate lover, I was surprised that I actually preferred the vanilla over the chocolate. As others have mentioned, it is SUPER tiny in there, though, so unless you get lucky and get one of the handful of seats, don't plan on sticking around to enjoy your snack! Will most definitely be back. read more

Awesome little place, always makes it worth visiting the in-laws. Tasty Churros with delicious filings. read more

Yummmm! The customer service was amazing, they were sweet and fast. The food was DELISIOSO, I got the café horchata and a dozen of churros with mix flavors. I would definitely come again! read more

This place is amazing. We spent $10 on a dozen filled churro from Groupon .They have specialty fillings everyday . Saturday is dulce de Leche which is delicious. They also have the original fillings which are chocolate,vanilla,cheesecake,strawberry,caramel . I think im missing one. All of the fillings were great. I wasnt too fond of the strawberry one it was very artificial tasting. Everything else was fantastic. read more

My dirty little not so secret place. I go here when I want to misbehave and get a little piece of fried dough heaven. So many options, but I usually settle on the churritos and a mexican hot chocolate. I like to get a box and bring it home to share with my family. read more

My friend insisted I have some while we were down on Navy Pier (there's a small outdoor booth for the Churro Factory about half way down the pier), even though I'm normally rather meh when it comes to churros. Oh my God, talk about delicious sin in my mouth. The churritos (half sized, drizzled in caramel; chocolate and dulce de leche are options, also) were heaven, I've never tasted such an amazing churro. Perfectly crisp, breaks through into chewy goodness. I wanted more as soon as I was done with my first pack of six. read more

A neighborhood favorite that puts my sweet tooth to rest. I've stopped in several times having had: churritos, churros (Apple, strawberry, plain and yet to try the Nutella on a Tuesday) funnel cake sundae and most recently the churro sundae. Fairly priced and an intimate seating inside. Cannot wait to see how the 18th Pinkline location will turn out. read more

Oh yes, Churro Factory does it right. Freshly filled churro - either chocolate, strawberry, vanilla or cream cheese - right before your eyes. Best part? One churro is $1! Delicious treat for cheap! They also have a ton of other things on the menu - ranging from coffee, to ice cream to paninis! Yum! Cheers to a serious gem! read more

I didn't like churros. Now don't get me wrong, I didn't suddenly start liking churros overnight, I just had never had a good one before that made me ever like one. Yesterday I went to this place along with a friend who loves churros just on the way back because their lit up sign caught our eye and the witty play xurro title got us curious. Totally one of those hidden gem hole in the wall places! As you get within 5 feet of the building, the smell of cinnamon sugar is so good! I got a chocolate churro and BAM I like churros now just like that haha. read more

Loveeee their churros. Fresh, crunchy and not too sweet. I usually like it plain but when I feel adventurous, I'll go with their churro of the day flavor. Best of all, it's not very pricey. Hehe. read more

Place and food was amazing! Also one of the employees who i believe her name is fanie is cute asf;)

The churros are great and so is the horchata milkshake (omg). Staff is nice, small location so easier to take things and go. They do have a small outdoor seating area. read more

Fresh Churro and they add the favors for you as you order. I really like the pineapple and strawberry and with the mexican spice hot chocolate was perfection. I would totally just order for a party next time. read more

??????? ok the mystery flavor isn't really such a mystery. It's actually written on the wall, but no matter---this quaint little place is churro heaven. I want a churro squirty/stuffing machine. They have a fancy hot cocoa machine to top it off too. The churros were crisp, warm, and had a closed end so all the gooey filling won't ooze out onto your clothing, making you look like a 2 year old with a bib that's too small. The price is right and if you buy a dozen, even better. Not too many seats in there, but that's just fine as taking it to go is good---so I don't sit there and inhale all of the churros in one sitting. Definitely an awesome little find!!!! Can't wait to try the other flavors, had a taste of pineapple, strawberry, and chocolate---before my kiddies devoured the box. read more

I love this place! Affordable prices and great items on the menu. I had passed this place many times over the last few months, but had never stopped. I finally tried this place for the first time a little over a month ago, and now I am hooked. I have only had the churros and two of the hot chocolate drinks, but they were all delicious. The staff here is also very nice, and I am never waiting for too long. read more

Fresh, warm, perfection. I've only had a Churro once before and it was dry and horrible. I was turned off to trying another one. I'm glad I decided to give Xurro a try. I had the cream cheese flavor and now I'm hooked on Churros. read more

I definitely won't be going back to this location for churros any longer. The evening staff was rude. also, after waiting in line after 15 min as the employee was in and out giving the customers their food, nothing was said to any of the customers. i get up to the window and order my churros. she actually said that they were making only plain ones at that time. i see all these buckets of filling, etc. i think they just didn't want to make any filled ones because we were ones of the last few customers for the night. so due to this my family and i will not be going there any longer. i felt unvalued as a customer and we do purchase churros and coffee frequently. we should have been informed if filled churros were not going to be an option while waiting in line instead of having everybody wait until they get up to the window to inform. that really sucked. read more

No other traditional pastry reminds me of Mexico like the Churro, covered in sugar and or cinnamon Yummy!!!. I believe the best Churros are sold at the flea markets but, definitely this little place comes in 2nd. Unlike the vendors from the flea markets, there is more variety in the Churro fillings (cream cheese, apple or pineapple.) Besides the Churros they also have Crepes, Ice Cream, Smoothies and Coffee to sip down the delightful pastries. Currently, they have a especial going on of five Churros for six dollars. read more
