The main entries in the menu are churros and hot chocolate, the recipe being the same since 1894. If you want to try something different, you can also have a coffee and a slice of a delicious, freshly baked cake.
The churros that you can serve here are also freshly cooked and they are hot when they get to your table. You just have to dunk them in the hot chocolate that you receive and you can then enjoy a special treat of Madrid.
