Visiting Chicago in a couple weeks for a few days before Thanksgiving. Does anyone know of a good place for churros con chocolate? I don't know exactly what it would be called in English other than the literal translation of "churros with chocolate". I'm talking about the kind they have in Spain (maybe Latin America too?) where it's that thick chocolate that you dip churros into. Had them in Spain this summer and they are amazing.

BTW something relatively close to the Loop would be nice, or close to Rogers Park, as those are 2 places I might be staying. BTW I'm not debating b/w the Loop and RP, lol...it's just a matter of who in my family can house me for a few days. Otherwise anywhere in between would be fine too, I guess.

I don't know why people drink Starbucks. It's not coffee.

TOPIC:
I love churros. If they weren't a heart attack waiting to happen I would have one everyday.
