The Churro Stop is set to return to Food Truck Warz in Brandon in 2024. This year's event will take place from September 13 to 15, 2024, at the Keystone Centre grounds. The Churro Stop is known for its delicious churros, including varieties filled with Dulce de Leche and Bavarian cream, as well as a selection of dipping sauces. In 2017, they took home the Fan Favorite award at Brandon's Food Truck Warz and then finished second in 2018 voting. "We are extremely excited to welcome The Churro Stop back to our event in 2024" said co-organizer Darryl Wolski. "In the past they have developed quite the loyal following in Brandon and we expect that trend to continue this year" added Wolski.     Churros, often described as the Spanish doughnut, are a fried-dough pastry traditionally sprinkled with sugar and sometimes cinnamon. Their origins trace back to Spain and Portugal, but they have become a beloved treat in many countries around the world. The classic churro is simple yet delicious, with a crunchy exterior and a soft, doughy interior. The Churro Stop will successfully capture the hearts and taste buds of many this Food Truck Warz, combining the timeless appeal of churros with the convenience and excitement of mobile dining. Whether you’re a churro aficionado or a first-time taster, the Churro Stop will offer a delightful experience that’s hard to resist.
