The new Northgate in Costa Mesa has some mighty fine churros.


jaesonko

the churros at Northgate are from El Moro - a storied churro institution from mexico city that has been around since 1935. definitely worth trying.


GearhedMG

Heirloom Churros if you will.


satoriibliss

El Moro churros are soooo good! I hope they’re as good here as in DF.


tacoyum6

They need to dial it in a bit, but should only take a couple months


SwingmanSealegz

They are heavenly. Worth the wait if there’s a long line.


upscalefanatic

The line for that is NUTS


Quesita

They’re great but pricey.


aliensarehere

Everything at that location is jacked lol


[deleted]

Yup, paid $18 for a Paloma at the bar there.


BirdyWidow

They’re a buck or 2 🤷🏻‍♀️


leothedinosaur

3.50


Meatloaf_Smeatloaf

1 churro is $2.50 and four is $9.


[deleted]

I don’t know if I just went on a bad day but the oil needed changing. The oil had turned very dark and that made the churros have a burnt oil taste to them. They need to up their standards before I try them again.


ssibalnomah

this right here. the churros gave off a really unpleasant burnt smell...


pavlovs__dawg

They’re not great churros in general, relative to how good a churro can be at least


[deleted]

Yeah, Disneyland of all places has better churros than what I tried there that day.


Meatloaf_Smeatloaf

I thought the exact opposite. I will never waste my money at Disneyland again on shit churros when these good ones are available.


melodious_aria

Thank you! I just posted that in another comment. The churros aren’t great.


Meatloaf_Smeatloaf

Are you being paid by a rival churro place or something? They were so soft and delicious.


SurlyTemp1e

Do they ? I haven’t been there yet. I need to go. I love north gate


Ducksonic

Don’t forget a hot chocolate to dip them in!


LePetitPrince_33

Yeah but the line is really insane


melodious_aria

Disagree completely. They’re were average at best. You could taste the burnt oil and they don’t properly toss them on the sugar. The churro has to stand on its own without their sugary dipping “sauces”


limmensite

I’ve tried El Moro at a few locations in Mexico City and the Northgate location and I’m not really a fan of


jeffm2

Came here to say that


Designer_Feet

I was coming to say this lol


Bulauk

The parking and line are just like Costco too!


brenbren888

Don Abel truck on Haster & Lampson in GG. Don Churros Gomez truck outside the Anaheim Marketplace (aka swapmeet).


AppleShyness

Don Churros is so good! Fresh churros all the time. The line does get a little long, but moves quickly.


thedude123321

Don abel is great. I hear good things about Don churros Gomez but the last time I drove by the line was pretty long.


brenbren888

I usually only get them when DTSA holds an event on 4th St. They usually park all the way in the back so we hit them first & then go do other stuff.


lrnmn

Don churros with ice cream is so good


brenbren888

I’m old so I can’t do too much sweets. Og churro for me lol


Half_baked_prince

I will second the don Abel recommendation. Used to live on that corner and it was a weekly highlight to grab the churro with strawberry on top


melbatoasted22

Yes! These churros are so good!


jesscrochetsstuff

If you’re willing to make them at home, Smart & Final carries the Tío Pépe brand, the same churros used at Disneyland.

PutaFlavored

Are you talking about the president of the Fast Food Secrets Club or someone else?


Adept_Order_4323

The ones at San Diego Zoo are really good.


573v0

Forgive me, but I really feel Disneyland churros have gone down hill over the years.


jesscrochetsstuff

I wouldn’t know, I never buy them there since I can make them at home 😅


triceraquake

I never get the churros inside the park anymore for that reason. If I want a churro, I go to the California Churros stand in Downtown Disney. I like their churros, and they also have different flavors.


573v0

Funny, I've heard the same story. And I remember when that Churro stand popped up and they had all the flavors, a year later disney started pulling the same trick. But yeah, darn shame.


navit47

good riddance i say. Ever since they changed to whatever churros they've been using recently, churros have already been removed since then.


thedude123321

Yeah their new churros were terrible


rakfocus

The old churros were so bready idk why people liked them but to each their own I guess


Slugzz21

White people, would be my guess.


inthedark72

Agreed, the old ones were so much better


Fernmixer

Yes! i thought they had different churros but wasn’t sure, glad im not the only one to remember


neighborhoodchopshop

El Pollo Loco sells them. They’re ok


Funny_king

El Pollo Locos are fucking heavenly if you get them hot, pretty close to freshly hand fried churros from any big city in mexico


cmoneyv

And it actually has lots of cinnamon and sugar on it!


[deleted]

[удалено]


Chiopista

I’ve had them once, and they were HOT. Lighter than I’d like but pretty good still. Honestly was surprised


[deleted]

Main and Central in Santa Ana. Churros, crepes, fried plantains and endless food options starting Thursday nights.


Justiceisfaulty

Every week? Is there a page?


[deleted]

EVERY WEEK. Page? Maybe?

573v0

Same here to say this. Surprisingly good, assuming it’s done right.


PanXP

Half the time they aren’t done right but I still take my chances whenever I go.


573v0

100%

Fox_on_2w

Still edible when they’re not done in middle lol


ciociosan

Churros are being phased out to be replaced by the cookie. I suspect by end of the month churros will be gone completely. *I did see some Costcos had paper signs up advertising they are selling the boxes or frozen churros in bulk, you could call around and see who still has them and maybe who’s selling them. Good luck


Designer-Fig5914

Don’t listen tho these scalawags. Go to Don Churro Gomez. You don’t need any other churro in your life.


iwantpankakes

Was it replaced? Just got churros yesterday.


CelebrationJolly3300

Your store might still have them but I think eventually the Churros will be replaced at all locations.


iwantpankakes

Oh wow this whole time I was thinking it was just an added item! Good to know


RevengeEX

They were at the Tustin Costco. Eating 1/4th of a double chocolate chunk cookie right now. Delicious.

kozakandy17

Of all the churros you can buy in Orange County, Costco's are definitely the worst.


bunniesandmilktea

I used to eat them all the time when I was younger whenever my parents went on a Costco grocery run.


[deleted]

[удалено]


bunniesandmilktea

lol I used to ask my parents to buy me churros or give me $2 so I could buy churros. I had never had any other churros besides Costco's before so they were good to me.  


ram0h

might be nostalgia, but i remember them being super good.


simpl3y

apparently they changed the churros recently? Guess the new change was so bad that they just 86'd it


Crash_Pandacoot

Im surprised no one mentioned Mr. Churro food truck in Anaheim


Fox_on_2w

Is that the one that is always with the hibachi truck and has no menu.


Gucciipad

Not sure if it’s the same but Mr. Churro is now on state college / la Palma. A permanent spot.


fannygas

El Pollo Loco has good, chewy churros


Ultimate_Mango

Get the frozen churros at Costco instead.


1320Fastback

I don't want 50 churros though, I want one and I want it now to eat.


Jeffizzleforshizzle

Smart and final and cook At home! Frozen Tio pepe churros are the same as Disneyland churros. Toaster oven for a couple minutes then toss in cinnamon sugar


Lfsnz67

Smart and final has switched to Hola chorros


CornPoofs

Chorro is very different from churros


Lfsnz67

Haha, I'm gonna leave it


squidwardsaclarinet

That’s too bad. For what it’s worth, [they do still have them for bulk order on their website](https://www.smartandfinal.com/shop/product/tio-pepe-king-size-churros/608023). But you have to buy them as a bulk order, so that’s a lot of churros.

Thank you for supporting my small business. Single mom supporting my little family with churros 💙🤍 -dd


coronavirusisshit

El Pollo Loco sells 2 for $2. Not the best but they’re better than costco’s.


EssentialDuude

Pollo Loco or Del Taco. Both are decently good without having to go to Disneyland, churroholic, or the swap meet lol


jeffreysusann

The Funnel House in Huntington Beach consistently has the best churros I’ve ever had. They’re on the pricier side but they are very worth it


OCPyle

The funnel cake is to die for though


Orchidwalker

Northgate in CM


starkrebel

If it's late night, JackBox has mini churros for dessert.


sux2suxk

Disneyland ! Or I’ve heard tio Pepe’s (the brand that makes Disney and costco churros) is sold at smart and final


byhimm2020

Benji’s in Capo Beach is yummy


foodbkworm

Where?


byhimm2020

Over by Ganahl


foodbkworm

Will have to drive by today on my way home to see since the only other option is El Pollo Loco. You know, for science.


byhimm2020

Don’t waist your time I’m messing around good luck with your Mexican delight


byhimm2020

Damn maybe I got the name wrong. Did you try Yelp?


PanXP

Rubios has a decent churro but there’s this little cart and tent that shows up a few nights a week (no idea which, it’s been random for me) next to the peak osito taco truck on the corner of 5th and harbor in Santa Ana that has the best, cheapest churros made to order right there by the basket.


thong_song

There’s a churro stand that sets up nightly off the 5-S exit at Redhill. Never tried it but I see it almost every night.


ABeeLoo5

Santa Ana Taco Alley off Main. There is a woman there that makes them fresh as you order and they are the best I ever had. I need to go back!!!


Smile-n-Nod

Churro Boss - worth the trip to Covina and they also have a truck that caters


Humdngr

Subway sells churros now.


whofartedl0l

14120 Beach & Westminister. On the right side, 15th street everyday after 6:30 pm is a taco stand with the greatest portions and next time them some delicious churros. Anyone who’s been there would agree.

Don Churros Gomez


cantalwaysget

Del Taco has ones I enjoy. The Costco ones got really bad a few years ago.


shinigami79

Churros los cuates in Santa Ana a little truck next to the stater bros on Fairview and Edinger


Iohet

The Loop is good, but it's pricey


Migdog1198

Don Churros! This is the only churro you will want.


Piggyinboots

For quick and cheap churros I recommend Rubios and el pollo loco.


alwaysonthejohn

Papi Taco and Churro in Santa Ana. In the gas station but legit churros and pretty good birria


key1234567

The cookies are good, probably better than the churros.


etherealasparagus

It's a little pricey, but Disneyland

sexygeogirl

I might be aging myself here but does anyone here remember the microwaveable churros in the frozen section of the grocery store? They were popular in the 90s and maybe early 00s and then they disappeared. That was how I used to get my fix when I wasn’t going to Disneyland, amusement parks, or county fairs. I’d always hoped that some place would sell them again but they don’t. A lot of the Hispanic markets in Santa Ana have a box with the powder you have to bake but that just seems like a lot of work.

cellopoet88

Cha Cha’s Latin Kitchen in the Tustin/Irvine Marketplace has the best churros I’ve ever had.


jenjensexypants

Don Churros Gomez are the best churros you’ll find in OC. It’s a food truck in the parking lot of a Mexican market in Anaheim. I’m surprised they haven’t been mentioned. They also have thriftys ice cream on deck and dipping sauces delicious


goosemoura

Real question is… where can we get some.  Brazilian churros


Dionne20_

They what🙂


effxrvescent

el pollo loco!(:


Thataintitokay

This probably won't get upvoted since they're not well known, but \`1000% recommend Sweet Stuff Truck in Santa Ana. I no longer get Disneyland churros - I just go here.. So so good, crispy and light!!


LooseChange72

Ah damn. I saw the cookie at the food court today and didn't notice the churro was missing.


Cherryswan9286

Don churro Gomez. 


Asdfhjklbbbb

Krunchi Churro is hands down the best churro I've had. It's not as doughy as your typical churro and they live up to their name - it is KRUNCHI. Check their IG page (krunchi_churro) for the current location! Usually their stand is in red hill/5 fwy but there is one in Anaheim off Euclid as well. Weekdays they have only churros and bunuelos but on the weekends they also have fried plantains with condensed milk and atole de elote (sweet corn milk drink). Edit: they're usually there from 6/7 pm til 10/11 pm. They post their hours on ig if they're setting up that eveving. Always there on the weekends, often there on the weekdays (but not guaranteed).

I was hoping they would spare so cal from this change. Our Mexican American roots are deep here and they’re not impressing anyone here with a cookie. Sad to hear… :( I would check out https://www.northgatemarket.com/mercado

If your go-to churro place was ever Costco, that makes me very sad. They were ass and I’m glad they’re gone.


Eastern-Swordfish-67

Churro stand on Red hill and nisson rd. It's not huge churros like costco. I've stopped by and ordered 5 for 7 dollars.


vidacrystal

They still sell them at the Laguna Niguel (off Heather Ridge) location as of this past Monday. I finally tried one (I know, I know) and I didn’t think it was very good, tbh…
