While both bunuelos and churros are delightful, well-loved Mexican fried fritters, they are quite a bit different. Bunuelos are thin, crispy circles coated in cinnamon sugar, with a delicate crunch and a unique anise flavor. Churros, on the other hand, are thicker and often ridged, featuring a soft interior encased in a slightly crispy exterior, traditionally served with a dusting of sugar or dipped in chocolate.
