Churros Huesos is a family business that started more than 20 years ago. It carries the last name Huesos which also belongs to Jose and Agustin’s father. “I learned how to make churros helping my dad in Mexico when I was 15 or 16 years old,” says Jose.
“[My father] was the one who initiated this in Mexico making churros for many years at the fairs,” Agustin remembers. The style and flavors come from the Jalisco area, and now their truck thrives in northern Nevada.
What really sets them apart from others who sell churros, they say, are their custom-made, tradition based recipes. They have menu items such as Churro Macho which are bits of churros and plantain banana spread with sour cream. Other items include a mix of vanilla ice cream with churros and other delicious toppings.
“The way we make our churros is very different. You don’t really see it around here, or around these areas. The people have even said, this is like in my pueblo. That’s a big difference, there may be other churreros but these are very different,” says Agustin.
The biggest joy for them is interacting with their customers. “ I love to see people happy when I serve the churros. Especially the kids when they have happy faces,” says Jose.
The brothers say they enjoy hearing feedback from the customers even if it’s negative because they learn from it. Overall, the local support, especially from the entire Hispanic community, has been gratifying. “I think for the Hispanic community this is like a pride for them to know that they can and have churros as they tasted as kids in their pueblos,” says Agustin.
For the future, the brothers hope to expand their business and grow as people. “We hope to keep learning from our business and to take care of it,” says Agustin.
