The project emerged more than 53 years ago, when Pascual Vicente, who by advice and recipe of his Spanish friends, prepared the dough that gave color, small, and flavor to the famous “Cathedral’s Churros”.

It all started with some Spanish friends of my father, who told him that in Puebla there was a need for a place where churros were sold, because they were always looking for churros and could not find; they gave him the formula that we handle until today, he said.

Since then, visiting Puebla Historic Center is an experience that tourist and citizens can’t skip, also the flavor is in the air, you can smell this peculiar odor of churros freshly made.

The traditional ones are those sprinkled with sugar that are usually accompanied by a cup of chocolate to satisfy the craving.

But, talking about good experiences, there are many different ways to try these churros.

There are with cinnamon and sugar, also filled with milkmaid, caramel, marmalade, or maple honey.

It doesn’t care which flavor do you want to taste, there will be always want that fits you.

Recipe, family secret

This successful recipe is a true mystery, since the secret to prepare it is only known in the Vicente family; however, it has not been patented for its preservation and ownership.

José Abed Vicente said that on several occasions, his brothers and relatives have proposed that the recipe be patented, but due to lack of time they have not carried out this procedure.
