The history of the churro probably dates back to the 1st century BC, as shown by a Roman recipe on how to prepare fritters, where the same dough is used. But whether they are of Roman or Arab origin or brought to Spain by the Portuguese in the form of Chinese youtiao, the truth is that churros are recognized as a typically Spanish dish throughout the world. In addition to being classics in countless situations in daily life, churros are the protagonists of fairs and festivals and are also eaten with hot chocolate to greet a new year.

What is clear is that Argentines receive the recipe directly from our Spanish ancestors and, like them, they are present every morning, every rainy afternoon or an afternoon at the beach. Artisanal or industrial, filled with dulce de leche or covered in chocolate, the essence of good churros is that they are very crunchy.

New flavors and savory versions are added to the classics. When they are freshly made, no one can resist. This is the ranking of the best churrerías in Buenos Aires.
