"When El Moro opened in January 2026, long queues for its shatteringly crisp, cinnamon-sifted churros immediately formed in Echo Park. After all, this is the first Los Angeles location for the legendary churro maker, having become firmly entrenched in Mexico City culture almost 100 years ago."
"Get the made-to-order, magnificently long, deep-fried, cinnamon-dusted churros individually or in boxes of four or one dozen, as well as the mini-sized moritos. Select three of the five dipping sauce flavors: chocolate, chocolate and hazelnut, cajeta caramel, condensed milk, and the seasonal flavor, which, when I went, was a slightly sweet mango."
"El Moro's classic Mexican hot chocolate gets made with cacao imported from Mexico; it's silky and not too sweet. The delightful Oaxaqueño is dairy-free. Though there is indoor seating, El Moro's covered patio is where to take everything in."
El Moro, a nearly 100-year-old Mexican churro institution, debuted its first Los Angeles location in Echo Park in January 2026, drawing immediate crowds. The restaurant features a white and blue facade on Sunset Boulevard and underwent eight months of reconstruction. Customers can order made-to-order churros individually or in boxes, selecting from five dipping sauce flavors including chocolate, cajeta caramel, and seasonal options. The menu includes al pastor tortas, the Consuelo churro ice cream sandwich with strawberry or vanilla, and Mexican hot chocolate made with imported Mexican cacao. The covered patio provides an ideal dining setting in this busy neighborhood location, with parking available in an attached lot.
