Ruben Ortega is known for his churros, which have been featured in Saveur magazine and in Hugo’s cookbook, Hugo Ortega’s Street Food of Mexico. It is not only a favorite at the restaurant, but at home, too. Ruben sometimes does a twist on the traditional Mexican pastry for his son, by turning it into an ice cream sandwich.
Churros are deep-fried, stick-thin fritters dredged in sugar. They are a staple Mexican street sweet.
