What to order

Fresh churros with thick sipping chocolate or cajeta

Fresh churros with thick Mexican hot chocolate (the Spanish-style chocolate is very sweet and thick) or cajeta.

Why go

Frying churros since 1935, started by a Spanish immigrant from a cart. The classic late-night sweet stop, now a chain but still best at the original.

The classic churro stop, open around the clock according to Time Out Mexico (a 2012 review, so confirm hours). It sits near San Juan de Letrán metro, and the tacos next door can fill the wait.
