About Pollo loco churros
Pollo Loco Churros are a classic Mexican-inspired dessert, featuring deep-fried dough coated with a generous dusting of cinnamon and sugar. Made from a simple mixture of flour, water, and eggs, they’re shaped into long, ridged sticks before being fried to a golden-brown crisp. Their crunchy exterior gives way to a soft, doughy inside, creating the perfect balance of texture. While deliciously indulgent, churros are not considered a nutrient-dense choice, as they are high in refined carbohydrates, sugar, and fat. They’re best enjoyed in moderation as an occasional treat. Originating in Spanish cuisine and later popularized across Latin America, churros have become a beloved dessert globally. Pair them with coffee or a light protein-rich meal to balance out their inherently high-calorie and low-nutrient profile.
