Chocolatería Valor

San Gines is the tourist spot for chocolate and churros, but Chocolatería Valor is just as good and has a slightly shorter wait. The people-watching at this chocolatería might even be as good as the churros—most of the people who come here have lived in this neighborhood for decades. You might still have to wait for a table, but it’s worth it to join the Madrileños leisurely sipping coffee and reading the paper.
