## In its own listing

- Closed - Churros are traditional Spanish desserts developed centuries ago by Spanish shepherds, who saw a resemblance in their Churra sheep. Originally churros were about the size of a breadstick, and they were eaten plain or rolled in cinnamon sugar. Toro Churro is proud to be on the cutting-edge of the hot, new trend towards Spanish culture and cuisine. It's the first eatery in NZ to adopt delicious churros as its signature dish.
