The History of Churro’s in our region:
Churros were introduced to Mexico by Spanish conquistadors in the 16th century, likely during the Spanish colonial period. The popularity of churros in Mexico, and their specific regional variations, developed over time, with Mexican churros often featuring cinnamon & sugar. A Spanish immigrant named Francisco Iriate brought churros to Mexico City in the 1930s, establishing the oldest churrería in the city, El Moro, which continues to be a popular establishment.
