What are churros? Think Mexican donuts, only better! A crispy exterior with soft, chewy insides, Jorge uses Bob’s Red Mill Gluten-Free flour to make them. Deep-fried, then rolled in cinnamon and sugar, topped with your choice of strawberry, chocolate or caramel sauce. Enjoy Marshmallow, Graham Cookie, Chocolate Chips or Whip Cream toppings. If you love ice cream, order the ‘Blizzard!’
Picnic table seating underneath patio canopies. Imagine yourself in Mexico. Plans are in the works for ‘the best cookies ever’ says Jorge, and hot chocolate like you’ve never tasted before.
