About Churro Station

This business was created for you, the person who has the "ganas", the desire to succeed. It is our mission to do whatever we can to help you reach for that success. We understand our product, our customers and what makes them happy. Many of our customers are far away from their homes. We try to give them a bit of those memories of home. For those who are not far from home, we proudly offer unique products that we know you and all your customers will love-delightful foods in a setting that only Churro Station can offer. We strive for perfection: only perfect Churros y chocolate will be served; only a liquado made with ripe fruit will be offered; each sandwich is freshly made to satisfy your appetite. If this sounds good to you, please let us know! "There's a $4 billion Latino food and beverage market out there. We're giving people a way to get in on that opportunity for a relatively small investment with a food that everybody loves and isn't widely available", says Melanie Farkas, Founder & CEO (QSR magazine, April 2006).
