What Is Churrito Loco? The Sweet-Savory Churro Craze
Churrito Loco is a California–founded franchise (born in 2017) that turns the humble churro into a full-on dessert and snack experience. Their menu includes:
-
Churro ice-cream sandwiches and cones
-
Churro funnel cakes
-
Filled churros (think dulce de leche, Nutella, cheesecake)
-
Savory options, including elotes (corn) on a cup or stick with all the toppings
It’s the kind of place that makes you seriously consider giving up your diet just to treat yourself.
Why Lubbock Needs This
Lubbock already knows how to do Mexican food–think tacos, tamales, and elote cups. But a dessert-first, churro-focused concept? That’s something a little more niche and very fun. Churrito Loco is the kind of place you can bring the kids, bring your sweet tooth, or bring a friend just for the experience.
Plus, this could be a game-changer for late-night or weekend treat runs. Once it’s open, we might be living in a world where “just a churro” isn’t enough–and that’s okay by me.
So What’s Next for Lubbock?
If you’re ready to do some churro reconnaissance, head over to the grand-opening on Saturday. Churrito Loco may soon become one of your favorite stops in Lubbock…
