📖

Full description

Xurrería Manuel San Roman is barely big enough for two customers at a time, but that hasn't stopped it from becoming one of the most reviewed churro spots in the Gothic Quarter. Reviewers note that its churros break from convention — salty rather than sweet or caramelized — which for many was a genuine surprise that reshaped how they think about the snack.

Lines form regularly outside the small storefront, but with a 4.5 rating across more than 5,300 reviews, service moves quickly and the wait rarely lasts long. It's a fast, standing-room stop rather than a place to sit and linger.

Reviews

Very good chrruos. There’s usually a line because the shop is small and can only fit about two people inside. But the service was quick and friendly. They get a few different dipping sauces, went for the dark chocolate. I like that they also add cinnamon and sugar to the churros if you want.
