An artful dessert experience at El Merkury’s “buy one – get one for free” Churro Happy Hour.
El Merkury is leveling up happy hour with its Churro Happy Hour. Available Monday through Friday from 3 pm to 6 pm, this unique offering is a dream come true for churro enthusiasts. The deal is sweet: buy one churro for $7 and get another one for free. On chilly days, guests can swap the second churro for a heartwarming beverage like the rich, freshly made Guatemalan Hot Chocolate, coffee, espresso, cappuccino, or latte. It’s important to note that this special is exclusively available at their Chestnut Street location at 2104 Chestnut Street, Philadelphia, PA.
El Merkury’s churros are different from your average stick-shaped dessert. These are foot-high, looped circles of delight, dusted in cinnamon sugar, and perfectly crunchy. Stuffed into soft serve and accompanied by caramel and chocolate sauces for dipping, these churros elevate the dessert concept to an art form.
The journey of El Merkury began with engaging catering events and pop-ups around the city, where they shared their Central American delicacies. As their popularity surged, so did their mission and menu, eventually leading to the establishment of their first brick-and-mortar location in 2018 in Philadelphia’s Rittenhouse Square neighborhood. The proximity to Rittenhouse Square Park brought significant foot traffic, contributing to their growing success.
In just three years, their dream expanded from an online operation to owning a physical storefront and opening a second location. The expansion is a testament to their loyal and growing customer base.
El Merkury’s claim to fame is their made-to-order, lovingly crafted churros. These churros stand out with their unique foot-high circular shape, stuffed into creamy soft serve, transforming the traditional churro into an edible piece of art.
Happy hour, indeed.
