"One of the best places to eat churros in Spain so far.
Very fast service, nice chocolate sauce and good cortado. Morning, afternoon or evening, it is always busy and you have to wait a little bit to get a chair or table. A must visit in Zaragoza!"

"We had churros, chocolates and coffee! We had churros almost everywhere in Spain, it was good but chocolate was COLD! Coffee was good! Outside seats were nice specially in the morning time!"
Renee Alwadi
"Churros con chocolate (€4.10 for the serve) - delish and perfect on a cold winter’s day. Sadly, there are not many tables, so it’s really more a “hit and run” at the bar kind of place."

I joined the locals early in the morning at Churrería La Fama for a couple of sticks of sugar-dusted fried dough served alongside a thick cup of chocolate for dipping. With its metallic mid-century counters and lino-covered stools it felt delightfully frozen in time.
