Master Critic Review

Xurro 7.7
North Center
A made-to-order churro counter where the texture payoff is the point—hot, crisp edges with a soft center. It works best as a dessert stop: one churro format plus one drink, keeping it simple so you get the cleanest read on freshness.
Must-Try Dishes: Freshly made churros, Horchata milkshake, Churro sundae
Scores:
Value: 7.9 Service: 7.4 Consistency: 7.6 Food Quality: 8.1 Atmosphere: 6.3 Cultural Relevance: 7.5
What makes it special: Churros made to order, built around hot-and-crisp texture.
Who should go: Dessert seekers who want something warm
When to visit: After dinner or late afternoon
What to order: Churros, horchata milkshake, churro sundae
Insider tip: Eat churros immediately—freshness is the whole point.
Logistics & Planning
Parking: Metered street parking on nearby residential streets; usually manageable off-peak but tighter in the evening.
Dress code: Casual—jeans, sneakers, and everyday wear are perfectly fine.
Noise level: Low to moderate—easy to have a conversation, mostly quick in-and-out traffic.
Weekend wait: 10–20 minutes during peak dessert hours, shorter earlier.
Weekday lunch: Little to no wait.
Dietary Options
Vegetarian options: Yes—churros and most desserts are vegetarian.
Vegan options: Limited—plain churros may be vegan depending on preparation, but dips and shakes are not.
Gluten-free options: No—churros are wheat-based with no gluten-free alternative.
Good to Know
Is this good for a first date? Yes, as a short dessert stop. It’s casual, low-pressure, and gives you something warm to share, but it’s better as a quick add-on than a full date plan.
Can I get a table without a reservation? Yes—there’s no reservation system and turnover is quick. Seating is limited, so be flexible or plan to take churros to go.
Is it kid-friendly? Very—simple menu, sweet focus, and quick service make it easy with kids, though seating space can be tight with strollers.
Best For
Better for: Fresh, made-to-order churros where texture matters more than variety or elaborate desserts.
Skip if: You’re looking for a long sit-down café experience or a wide pastry case—this is about immediacy and freshness, not lingering.
