A nearly 91-year-old Mexico City institution has brought its traditional churros to La Habra.
Churrería El Moro, which first opened its doors in 1935, is now serving its signature fried dough and hot chocolate from a new storefront on Whittier Boulevard.
This marks the third California location for the historic brand.
Francisco Iriarte, a Spanish immigrant, founded the original shop after arriving in Mexico City and realizing the area lacked a churro vendor.
Since then, the business has grown to include roughly 17 locations in Mexico before expanding its footprint into the United States.
Handcrafted behind glass
The La Habra location features a designated churrero window, allowing customers to watch the production process from start to finish.
Staff members mix the dough from scratch and pipe it through a funnel directly into the fryers.
The dough is fried in a continuous, large spiral before being cut by hand into individual pieces.
A tradition of hospitality
The freshly made treats are traditionally paired with hot chocolate, continuing the shop’s long-standing focus on hospitality.
This provides a welcoming space for families and friends to share a cultural staple. You can find the new L.A. area storefront at 1327 W Whittier Blvd.
