So after lunch I was craving something sweet and the nearby panaderia was closed so just down the street Is The Modern Churro. They make the churos fresh and they were excellent. Definitely going to come back more often.

We got a lot of churros and every single one of them was really good. Crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, just the right amount of cinnamon sugar. Super solid dessert spot, would go again for sure.
