We were super excited to get a great review from Leslie Kelly in the Seattle Post-Intelligencer! Click here to read it.

For all you chocolate lovers out there…we have something new for you to try as our homemade churros come with a xocalatl chocolate dipping sauce! In ancient Aztec culture, xocalatl was the drink of the gods. The term translated means “warm or bitter liquid”. We use a 70% chocolate made from cacao grown in Mexico, and add a blend of cinnamon, ancho chiles, Mexican vanilla and a little cream and sugar. C’mon in and get your xocalatl on!

A quick side note on percentages as it relates to chocolate…this is interesting stuff that I just learned about also. The 70% we use refers to the ratio of cacao to sugar. The more cacao, the deeper, darker and more pronounced the chocolate flavor will be. As a rule, milk chocolate is at about 35-45 percent cacao to sugar, semisweet chocolate is at about 50-60 percent and bittersweet is at about 60-70 percent.
