Churros are a snack that Spaniards and Portuguese often eat for breakfast or as an afternoon treat. In Taiwan, they are translated as “jinna sticks” 😆 This place specializes in jinna sticks! It’s very inconspicuous by the roadside, but the taste is really good👌.
We ordered the traditional churros, with six pieces, which are perfect for a post-meal snack on the go, paired with the classic hot chocolate ☕️, which locals enjoy this way.
These churros are short and different from the ones I've had in Taiwan that are shaped like horseshoes. They are very crispy when freshly fried, with a bit of saltiness, and sprinkled with white sugar outside, which gives them a delightful salty-sweet flavor!
The hot chocolate ☕️ is quite thick, and locals use it as a dipping sauce, which is quite special!! I find it really delicious; the hot chocolate isn’t overly sweet, unlike the ones in Taiwan that are full of cinnamon and accompanied by super sweet churros. I think I might prefer the salty-sweet version from Spain more.
The staff here are very friendly and chatty, and it seems they don’t sell churros that have been left out for too long. When we entered the shop, there were still a few on the counter, but the staff asked us to wait for fresh ones, which felt great 😌 If you’re passing by, I recommend getting a portion to try!
