- Come join us in Madrid, Spain as we eat churros and porras at the famous Chocolatería San Ginés Café in this Spanish food review. The last time we visited Madrid in 2015 we found a place that did churros and porras with chocolate for breakfast and we got hooked really quickly. It became a given we'd start our day off with that. Fast forward to 2018 and our apartment in Madrid, Spain was located just a stone throw away from one of the most famous churrería (Chocolatería San Ginés) dating back to 1894. With an old-fashioned interior including mirrors, green wooden panels and velvet seats it has a classic feel as you goble your churros con chocolate dipping each one in the sludgy hot chocolate. It's an experience not to be missed and the best part is that you can visit this place 24/7 everyday of the week and for a portion of churros and chocolate pay just 4 Euros.

Eating Churros in Madrid, Spain at Chocolatería San Ginés | Spanish Food Review Video Transcript:
Hey guys there is one thing you have to try when you come to Madrid. You've got to get the churros with hot chocolate (churros con chocolate). And we're also getting something that is like grand churros. Big churros. It is called Porras. You've got to try the churros, porras and hot chocolate. And we are at one of the most famous places. It is what open 24 / 7? Yeah, 24 hours a day every single day. This place is called Chocolateria San Gines. Yeah. We were here yesterday and we got a little taste of what they have to offer and this time we're back with an appetite. We're going to be having churros, hot chocolate and porras for lunch. Let's do it.
Guys so we are all settled in. We came down to the basement where it is super cozy. Let's talk about the ordering process first of all. As soon as you walk into the shop there is a till. And there is menus in different languages. So you order what you want, you pay and then they give you two receipts. One is yours to keep and the other one you hand off to your waiter once you sit down and then they'll bring your order to your table.
So let us show you what we got. They come and deliver it in style. We are sharing the churros and porras with Sam's parents.
First up let's start with the classic. The churro which is much smaller than the porras.The porras is like a churro on steroids. But the porra is actually lighter. It is a lot fluffier. It has more air. It does.
The churro is more dense and it has a ridged exterior. But enough about that let's actually oh can we stir that around for a while. Let me focus that. Now stir that around.
Oh wow. Here we go. Check it out. Life changing? Just as good as yesterday.
Describe the hot chocolate. It is not like normal. It is so thick and sludgy. So so thick and rich. And I should mention uh both the porras and the churros they are not very sweet on their own. It doesn't have a strong flavor. It is basically kind of like deep-fried dough really. Yeah it is just dough. But you it is wonderful for absorbing sauce like a hot chocolate. Like that is honestly the best combination you can come up with.
Alright so I'm full. Like that hot chocolate is so rich and filling. And it is time for price point. Basically you have two different options for the churros or the porras. You order six churros and a hot chocolate and that is 4 Euros or you can get 2 large porras and a hot chocolate also for 4 Euros. It is really good value. It is not expensive and yeah you can actually feel pretty full after having that to be honest. We're stuffed right now. That was a lot of fun and if you are visiting Madrid definitely check out this place. So tata for now we'll see you on the next video.
This is part of our Travel in Spain video series showcasing Spanish food, Spanish culture and Spanish cuisine.

I love Spain and the Spanish people, they are so warm
We've always had a great time visiting Spain.
Lol spanish people are not warm tf
@@RKJs-ib5ps fuck you
@@RKJs-ib5ps yes thye are warm fuck you
We have tasted churros in San Ginés. When have visited Madrid. Was wonderful. We love Spain ❤️
It would be so wonderful to visit Madrid, those churros look amazing, especially dipped into that chocolate 😍
Thank you! Highly recommend visiting and the churros are a must :)
This is so cool! Spain has such wonderful treats
Your churros, your porras, your hot chocolate, and your carrot cake all look fun to eat! I also really like that you ate them in the basement of a café in Madrid that used to be open 24/7!
But they're not open 24/7 anymore, presumably as a change with COVID. Google now says that they open at 8:00 every morning and close at 11:30 Monday-Wednesday nights, and 1:30 AM Thursday-Sunday.
Come to Tenerife, Canary Islands, Spain, a sunny island full of beautiful beaches, nice people, food and an amazing volcano, the Teide! 🇪🇸🇮🇨🐋🌴🏄♂️🚵♂️🏔🏖🌞
Oh, would love to do that! You have some wonderful islands to explore :)
Samuel and Audrey - Travel and Food Videos You'd be welcome and thank you!
Como Madriz nada
Churoooos, que deliciosos! You're such a great inspiration for my channel. Keep it up guys :)
Thank you very much! They're so tasty :)
It is said that when the queen of English origin, Victoria Eugenia, saw for the first time her consort, King Alfonso XIII of Spain, dipping churros in chocolate with his own hands was about to ask for a divorce and return to their land. It did not take long to fall in love with that dish herself..
Now that is quite the story! Fascinating.
Ohhhhh San Gines gran clásico
Maravilloso.
:)
Oh man that looks so yummy 😋
Thanks for sharing.
Thanks! We went back a few times...haha
I was there 4 years and that place is so beautiful ,amazing churros and chocolate👌
So cool to hear! We miss it so much.
I ate here today! I had the churros and hot chocolate. It really is the most amazing chocolate I’ve tasted to date. I made my own video of it and my friends are all jealous. 😂 Thanks for telling us about it.
Keep it up Sam and Audrey❤ your channel is blooming 😍😍
Carrot cake 🍰🍰my fav......
Thank you very much! Cool to hear - we love carrot cake :)
Thanks guys! You're making us rethink our decision to see Great Britain before Spain. 😄
Thank you! We'll have Valencia and Granada coming up as well :)
i went to four times is really amazing
I am droooooolinggggg!!! I keep seeing churros everywhere recently!! Is this a sign?! Mmm 🤤
I think it is definitely a sign! Go get some :)
The BEST CHURROS EVER!,!
I know what you mean! So miss those Reema!
I love churros! The Porras looks like the Chinese "You Tiao" which is also deep fried dough. Based on your description it may be the same thing. :)
Yummy!! Looks so good!! Such a pity we don’t have smell and tasteovision! Lol
Ah, that needs to be invented...haha
Those churros look sooooo good. Really wish my family and I could go there.
They were so tasty! Can you get churros where you live? Sometimes they have them in local bakeries.
@@samuelandaudrey I'm really glad you enjoyed them though😁😁😋
Thanks for sharing! I'm heading to Spain this year so hopefully I can try it :) I'm a travel vlogger too so maybe I'll shoot you guys out in my vid haha
Awesome! Wishing you a great trip and we hope you get to try these delicious churros. 😋
This was my favourite thing to eat in Spain when my parents lived there! It became increasingly difficult to find a place that did it and also a lot of places only did it for breakfast, we spent most of my time visiting trying to search for places that did it!
That is really cool to hear! It makes for the best breakfast.
Denise traditionally, churros in Spain has always been eaten for breakfast
Julio Salazar yes I learnt this the hard way but I did find some eventually my perseverance paid off😂😂
This is getting me very excited for my trip to Madrid in June! Could you tell me how much churros and hot chocolate was?
Thank you! That is great to hear. It is 4 Euros for the churros + hot chocolate and also 4 Euros for the porras + hot chocolate.
Those churros with chocolate were so delicious! I regret not having them in Madrid, when I've been there. I only had this combination churros + chocolate in Café Tortoni, Buenos Aires. You may know that place too! But I have never heard about the giant churros - porras - before.
Thank you! That is so cool you had them in Café Tortoni! We've been there a couple of times. I think the porras are more rare to find.
What is the custom for consuming the chocolate after you have finished dipping the churros? Do you spoon it like soup or drink it like coffee?
I seem to have been missing a lot of videos from you. Its good to see you both again. Hope all is well
Thank you very much! We're doing well. Trying to catch up on edits. How are you?
Samuel and Audrey - Travel and Food Videos. I am doing well.. I started a new hobby of fish keeping.. Lol.. I have 14 aquariums going. They range in size from 135 gallons to 5 gallons. It seems I have a lot of videos to catch up on. Not sure why youtube has been messing with my notifications and not telling me when videos are posted. I always click the bell. Your channel is not the only one this has been going on with. I'm starting to get a little upset with UA-cam. You and a few other channels are my favorite ones because 1 you have great videos and seem like amazing people and 2 you take the time to read and reply to your viewers. I'm not sure if you remember me or not but I use to comment all the time until I stopped getting notifications. I find it amazing that you actually do read and respond to the viewers. Not many do that and it kind of makes me not want to ever leave a comment because I feel they are not being read. I commend you on taking time out to interact. I will be binge watching your videos here within the next few days. Expect some comments.. Lol
Thank you very much! We really appreciate all of the comments we get and love interacting. Your new hobby sounds incredible! What kinds of fish are you keeping?
Samuel and Audrey - Travel and Food Videos I have several betta. I have a community tank with guppies Gourami a brisslenose pleco some emoror tetra lots and lots of snails.. Lol. A betta in that tank. A tadpole. A few different Chichlids. Like parrot a red Texas barbs a catfish silver dollars. A pack. Severum. A common pleco. A bunch of others that I can't think of.. Lol
When are you guys coming back to Hong Kong here where I live? Great video!
Thank you! I hope soon because we sure love visiting.
Omg I want them! U guys just travel everywhere. So we're taking a trip in September and we'll be in Barcelona. Do u guys recommend anything there? We'll be in the city as well as near the cruise port.
Thank you! That is really cool to hear. We made a video about Barcelona a few years ago that will give you some ideas. Just search for 'Samuel and Audrey things to do in Barcelona.' Cheers.
Awwwww, I love chrros!! If you guys have a chance to go to Malaga, go to "Casa Aranda" the churros there was fantastic too!!
Thanks Mayumi! Oh, hope we can check that place out :)
I love carrot cake, did you say how much that was along with the churros and porras, or did I miss it. I went to Spain on holidays when I was younger, I should go back again as an adult :)
Thank you! Sorry, I forget the price of the carrot cake but I remember it not being expensive. The churros + hot chocolate was 4 Euros and also the porras + hot chocolate is 4 Euros.
I'm from the churros team!!!
Cool to hear!
Hola SAMUEL y AUDREY!
Felicidades por vuestros videos!
Os queria hacer una pregunta, o más bien un listado; de los muchos paises que habeis visitado cual seria vuestro top ten referente a la gastronomia, es decir, según vuestras opiniones, que paises os ha sorprendido por su comida, variedad, qualidad etc. ?
Un abrazo!
Ya te responden, aguantá! :)
Churros are part of the spanish popular culture...when in Spain you get mad a someone and want to send him away you say " go to fry churros" :)). Thanks for the video e greetings from Spain.
Love love churros!
Lol I think I'm getting fat when living in Spain 😂 In holland they have those, but barely. Think I'll be eating too many churros haha. Looking amazing
They are kind of addictive...hahaha
this place was my only thing i liked about Madrid..:) the chocolate is out of this world!
It sure is! Do you go more than once?
I live in Barcelona, so I have my churro places here. :)
That hot chocolate, OMG looked like just melted chocolate!!! Great vid guys thanks for sharing - keep doing these food vlogs there awesome!!!
Thank you very much! It is hard to have normal chocolate after trying that :)
Thats right and see all the pictures of celebrities and famous people on the walls.
It fascinating looking at those photos!
Hi! We’ve been following you both for quite a while and we just love your videos! Now that you guys have a Spanish version of your travels, we don’t (well my husband) need to translate to my in laws anymore 😂. Those churros are delish, no? We had them there too. Hugs from Spain!
Thank you very much! Oh, they were so so good. We love them and went back many times...jajaja
Did you go the cool food market??
Yes, we had a chance to do that. We covered it in our Madrid Travel Guide :)
That place surely is the most expensive to eat a good churros with chocolate...the next time, try by churros in other place, in Madrid or any town of Spain are chocolate and churros in every bar. The carrot cake is not a traditional breackfast in Spain, the most traditional is, toast with iberic ham and olive oil, toast with red fat "manteca colorá" but is diferent in each town, greetings from Sevilla.
Thanks for letting us know.
It's not expensive at all, though. No more than a regular bar.
Most Americans think churros are Mexican but they are Spanish
We loved trying them in Spain.
Thank you for trying one of our famous dishes :)
Had breakfast here twice... their porras really taste like a local dish in singapore the ‘You tiao’ which is also know as Chinese fried churros ...
one theory is the Portuguese brought it to Europe from China
That is really cool to hear! Ah, we've had that before as well. They are very similar.
John Tan o
❤️💛💛❤️💚.
Do they have any savory sauces or soups or stews you could dip the churros in? I think I'd prefer that over chocolate. Or for a sweet sauce I think a citrus or lemon sugar glaze would be nicer than chocolate.
That is a great question! To be honest we've never noticed any savory options but to be honest since the churros themselves are mostly just salty they'd go great with that.
Emily BH We do not. Churros are eaten with chocolate that's why they sell them at chocolaterías. You won't find anything there to dip them in but hot chocolate.
Sam looks a lot like his mom!
Thank you!
ARE churros not dusted in sugar
Some varieties are.
The ones in Spain are not dusted in sugar; they are dipped in hot chocolate
Were the churros hot?
Yeah, they were freshly made.
My Spanish teacher went there
Cool to hear.
☕️☕️🍰🍰🥧🥧
Thank you!

I believe that as you have eaten in Italy, you do not eat anywhere😁😊
Ah, we enjoyed eating in Spain and Italy.
Samuel and Audrey - Travel and Food Videos Have you already been in Sicily?
No not yet. We'd sure love to though. Any recommendations?

Hi
Hey
It's just sugar and fat, it has to be good. BTW Sam, you should've have warned people about that opera singer.
It was definitely good. LOL, kind of sprung that on you guys ;)
Sugar and fat? Well...flour, water and salt, and fried in oil, where is the sugar?
