El Moro

$ | Centro Histórico
In the past few years, this classic churrería (churro shop) has exploded across the city, opening branches decked out in chic blue-and-white. But the original location, open since 1935 on the Eje Central (previously Avenida San Juan Letrán), is a cozy, two-story maze of wooden beams, ceramic tiles, and stained glass. Come for fresh churros and hot chocolate or, if you're peckish by day, stop out front for a torta de mole.
