Rico’s Churro

East Oakland’s best kept secret.
After having REAL churros, the ones you get from the theme parks suck!
Like some people have said here already, 2 – 3 dollars worth will be more than enough for 1 – 2 people.

I love churros, clean and freshly and Yummy, Me encantaron … call him 510) 472‑8167

Hella bomb ass churros. Comes in a brown bag and super cheap. The place may come off a sketch but it’s def worth it.

Super friendly guy frying up great churros. They’re also really reasonably priced!

This is the place to get Churros. To bad that it sometimes happens the guy is not there. I came all the way to Oakland, just to find the parking lot empty (and it was during the above mentioned hours). When he is there, he’s very friendly and will give you a whole bag of freshly made Churros. :)
These are probably the best fresh plain Churros I’ve had in East Bay. It’s really worth coming the way. And they are inexpensive ($ 2 for a bag of them). You have another stall (that’s always there) just about a mile away from here that has more expensive ones, but also has Churros Rellenos if you’re into that. I’m happy with the plain ones.
I’d recommend Rico’s anytime. I hope he gets his own place some day.

My wonderful friends dropped off a bag of churros last week, and I have to confess that I hoarded the stash and only half heartedly offered some to my boyfriend (who knows full well that I would stare at him resentfully while he ate the food of the gods meant for me).
Sweet jesus were they good.

What diet? Just do it. In this rare case, everyone on this Unilocal review is right.
Just go. No more words.

Best churros I’ve ever had! The owner of this «establishment» is kind and very attentive to his customers. You order the churros by one dollar increments and they are fried up to order. He puts them in a double paper bag system that will leak oil after a few minutes but is so worth it. To be totally clear about the whole process, it is one man frying up churros outside of his white van in a laundromat parking lot. It sounds super sketchy but they are worth the trek. The owner primarily speaks Spanish and takes cash only.

Best churros I’ve ever had! Had some from churros Mexicanos also located in fruitvale and thought it was good but rico’s is just on a whole new level! Amazing!

Delicious. No other words can describe it, except for maybe «wow, holy ****, this is amazing.»

Best churros ever. $ 1 will fill me up just fine. There can sometimes be a wait since there is a taco truck right next to him & a DVD guy… who in their right mind could resist getting some jummy churros?

I love churros and I love Rico!

Lets face it: Fresh delicious churros are a rarity. Besides Costco churros, it is so hard to locate anything remotely churroey anywhere to satisfy that fried pastry craving.
But its all good because Rico is here to save the day! Located in a parking lot next to a grocery store, you can get steaming hot fresh, crispy churros fried to order! These are way better (100x better) than the churro recipes you’ll find online.
How it works is you park your car in the parking lot/​accross the street. Tell rico how many dollars worth of churros you want, he’ll fry it up and you’ll enjoy! For new comers, 2 or 3 dollars worth will get you plenty, a bag full (literally) of churros.
Hungry? No Problem, he’s here everyday from 4−9pm (or until he runs out, usually at 8 – 8:30). I can’t believe I know all this cause I’ve been here so many times.
Support these small places! try it and you won’t be disappointed.

I need to lower my rating for Trish’s Mini Donuts at Pier 39 after trying the churros here. $ 5 for a lunch bag of perfection (in the form of churros). I am quite the churro snob and these are seriously the best. Better than any store, amusement park or street vendor in Mexico. Prepare to have your life changed after this experience.

Best. Churros. EVERRRRR.

Can’t beat a fresh hot churro! Cinnamon, sugary goodness!

They are that good. There is a portable cart next to the sidewalk with a vat of oil where they are made. As a first timer I wanted $ 5 worth of churros and received a lunch bag size bag of delight. The best I’ve had. Nothing comes close. So warm and delicious.
It’s worth the trip.

the cart has «ricos churro churro» spray painted on the side of it. damn, that shits good. mmmmmm.
rico (dunno if thats his name) is also available for parties. just ask.

Best Churros Ever! Don’t be fooled by some of the other churro street vendors… Rico is the King. Two bucks will get you a lunch sized bag full of the most delicious Churros you have ever had. You will never buy one at a theme park or county fair again after eating these. He disappeared for a while, maybe trying different locations, but he’s back and I couldn’t be happier. ;)

The churros here are by far the best churros you will ever have, trust me. They are even better than the ones in Mexico. I don’t even know how much they are just ’cause when we go we tell the churro man to give us $ 3 dollars worth and he loads up a bag full of them. They’re warm and crispy and are perfectly cooked on the inside (no gooeyness, which I hate).
He can be found everyday after 4:30pm and I believe he leaves at 8:00pm, he never makes it until 8 though because he runs out of them… Sometimes he switches locations, but we’ve found him here for sure on the weekends. He’s between the All Green Produce market and the Launderland and Coin Up Laundromat. The address of the laundromat is 4065 Foothill Blvd.
Don’t let the neighborhood scare you away lol.
