Mr. Churros
Mr. Churros, a dessert food truck based in Reno, celebrated its grand opening Feb. 15. Owned by Jose and Alondra Hueso and Lorenzo Vega, the restaurant used to operate under Mr. Churros Hueso and sold at local events under a tent. The grand opening unveiled the company’s new mobile concept, which is typically parked at the Silverada Mall Friday-Sunday. However, they do often pop-up at Northern Nevada events including in Sparks and Virginia City.
The menu is short and sweet with three sizes of Jalisco-style churros plus sauce and toppings options. Sometimes the availability changes, but in general you can expect items such as chocolate sauce, caramel sauce, condensed milk, and fresh fruit. To stay in the know about where the truck is serving next, follow along on social media. Mr. Churros posts its whereabouts on Facebook and Instagram.

Her limited soft opening menu, available through March 15, gives guests a sample of what is to come including breakfast specialties like a lemon ricotta stuffed French toast and a collection of salads and sandwiches that includes a signature BLT for lunch. The restaurant also serves mimosas, juices, sodas, and Italian sodas.
