Street food in Sayulita Mexico: Churros

On a recent trip to Mexico I was able to see one of my favorite foods being made on the streets of Sayulita, Churros!
In this video you will see exactly how the vendor makes each churro. First he heats up a metal bowl of oil until it is boiling. Then he squirts the raw batter into the hot oil is a circle pattern. As it boils in the oil he tends to it with a metal rod to make sure it cooks evenly. When he decides the churro is ready he plucks it out of the oil and drops it in a bed of sugar and cinnamon. Then his partner uses tongs to sprinkle the churro with more sugar and cinnamon.
These churro vendors come out in the evening to set up and sell their tasty snacks into the night. If you are in Mexico and you see one of these vendors I suggest trying the fresh made churro. It is so much better than they types of churros that can be found here in the US.
MORE CHURRO INFO:
A churro is a fried-dough pastry that is much like a donut. Churros are popular in Mexico, Spain, France, the Philippines, Portugal, Ibero-America and the United States. In Spain, churros can either be thin (and sometimes knotted) or long and thick . They are normally eaten for breakfast dipped in hot chocolate or café con leche.
No one is quite sure of the history of the churro. One theory is they were brought to Europe by the Portuguese. The Portuguese sailed for the Orient and, as they returned from Ming Dynasty China to Portugal, they brought along with them new culinary techniques, including modifying the dough for You tiao also known as Youzagwei in Southern China, for Portugal. However, they modified it by introducing a star design because they did not learn the Chinese skill of "pulling" the dough (the Chinese Emperor made it a capital crime to share knowledge with foreigners). As a result, churros are not "pulled" but rather extruded out through a star-shaped die.
But there is another theory that the churro was made by Spanish shepherds to substitute for fresh bakery goods. Churro paste was easy to make and fry in an open fire in the mountains where shepherds spend most of their time.
