El Tigre Churros Y Platanos

My favorite spot to get churros, despite their unreliable hours! It's always a treat to come here. Their tamales are pretty good too.

The wife and I have been craving churros ever since coming to San Diego, you can catch a whiff of it pretty much wherever you go, which is a constant reminder of that craving. We were dumb enough to give in and buy some while walking through Balboa Park ($6 for one measley stick).

In contrast to that, we stopped by here one night, paid for 2 orders of churros. And I see the dude crank 16 churros into the fryer. I figured "no big deal he's just preparing for the next customers. Nope, $5 for 8 freaking churros, you just can't beat that. The tamales and hot dogs are awesome too.

I was looking forward to trying the tacos de vapor for a few days as this place was recommended to me at a taco place I go to (which is good), we went and we ordered a bunch of stuff, tacos, hot dog, tamal and churros. Everything was horrible and even made us sick. The tacos de vapor were not even tacos de vapor. It was like a taco with grease on it and the stuffing was flavorless, but dogs were half done & bread was stale, churros were mid, like hardly any sugar and no canela, the tamal was the only thing that actually had some flavor but even then the masa was like the one they make with water & was super thick. Honestly don’t go here, not worth out 50 Dollie’s and a stomach ache….. I leave this only to encourage the “el Tigre” to make better food, if your lucky enough to have a food establishment and your already putting in the work, why not make something decent for your clients ? As Latin people they really did us a disservice with this food, come on guys ! Que paso ?

I've been wanting to try for a while! They are delicious, a little stingy on the sugar cinnamon coating on churros, so that's why a 4. But will try again. Customer service is awesome, nice ladies! Atmosphere, hey for a street vendor, it's a not so great part of University Ave, but safe ??

It's the second time I've bought champurrado, and both times it tasted like water with dough. The churros had a strange flavor and almost no sugar. The corn was not good. The best thing was the tamale although it lacked salt.

Churros El Tigre catered my wedding reception dessert. They were AMAZING!! Such a hit amongst our guest. Everyone was saying how they were the best churros they've ever had. We agree! Even better than fresh Churros we've had in Mexico. The staff was friendly, timely, and organized. They left behind plenty of churros for us to enjoy later. So delicious, even the next day! Highly recommend!

Delicious churros and plantains ?
