Churros are typically considered a dessert, although they can also be enjoyed as a snack depending on the context, particularly in Spain where they are often eaten for breakfast dipped in hot chocolate.

The first time I saw a churro was in Costa Rica in the late 1980s/early 1990s. They were street food, either plain or with a filling of chocolate, vanilla, or maybe caramel. I assumed at the time it was a Central American thing. Took a couple decades for them to come to the US, via Mexico -- then I assumed maybe I'd initially been wrong, that it was Mexican and had spread both North to the US and south to Central America. But it makes more sense that it's Spanish or Portuguese, that it spread to the Spanish & Portuguese speaking countries in South and Central America, then spread to the North American countries, and around the world.

Wow! For a change you guys taught me something. Because I am American and have always had the association of churros being sold in Mexican restaurants, I never knew that they were actually from Spain and portugal. I always thought it was a South of the Border creation, though I suppose if I were from the European continent I would know better. It's easier to tell with a lot of dishes whether they originated from Europe or from the Americas simply by the main ingredient. But churros don't have a distinctively American ingredient like pumpkin, chocolate, corn or chilies.

What I do know about churros is they are a donut of sorts, made of choux batter piped into a deep fryer, tossed in cinnamon sugar and served with several different dipping sauces and dips including chocolate, peanut butter, Nutella, vanilla, honey, caramel....
