I didn’t want to come here really but all of the churros were closed in the afternoon and I was hungry and really was craving for some good churros on my last day in Madrid .

To those that gave this place an overwhelming positive reviews I am pretty sure they are ignorant tourists who have never even tried churros in their life

You know the story.. when a restauraunt or eatery has gained enough reputation they don't even care about the quality anymore they can still mess up and serve you frozen churros and clueless tourists will still line up thinking they are in for the best tasting churros all over Madrid or Spain. San Gines is famous not because of the churros ( I have tasted enough all over Spain to know that these churros are really a 1/10 quality). San Gines is famous because it has been long established and uses Celebrities and famous people to market their churros place . If you don't believe me try this and then go to another more local churros place and you can write to me to see which one you prefer.

These churros are so over fried that they are dry , they are drenched with an excessive amount of oil that ur really eating oil dough dipped with chocolate .

For a place that has been in business for so long u would think they would be able to improve the quality of the churros .. I really think when this place was first opened hundreds of years ago that it didn’t taste this bad . The ancestors who opened this place are probably crying now .

I saw two women eating the churros and they didn’t even finish it at the end. the same amount of churros was left with the same cup of chocolate only a nibble of it was taken off one. They walked away looking upset . Others that were eating the churros looked sad and miserable realizing they spent 10 euros more on eating a few overly fried oil sticks .

Luckily I can still purchase much better (fresher and less drenched oiled porras) in Alicante . Nothing beats the flakiness and soft chewy texture than these overrated over expensive churros
