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.
