Churros are long pieces of fried dough coated in cinnamon and sugar. They can be filled with caramel, chocolate or other sauces.

Churros are in the Adoption stage – they’re gaining traction on menus but are still considered unique. They can be found at independent casual dining and progressive fast casual restaurants.

Grand Lux Café in Calabasas, Calif., serves churro French toast covered with cinnamon sugar, chocolate dulce de leche caramel sauce.
