With two locations in the city—a street stall and the original bar which opened in 1954—they spread their expertise across both establishments equally. The bar may not look like much from the outside, but the loyalty of the locals who have been enjoying their churros in Casa Pilato for generations says it all. While sitting in the original café is a truly special experience, don't shy away from their street stall if you find yourself in the Ruzafa area.

This large establishment can cater to all your sweet needs: pastries, horchata, buñuelos and, of course, churros. This spot is perfect for the early riser as it opens at 6 a.m. and stays going until well after sundown. The already-ample timetable extends even further during the Fallas celebration, so it's rare to find Horchatería Marí Toñi closed during that time.
