It's good. It's cheap. It's fast. I'm not asking for Michelin star service. It's a snack bar.
They accept ALL FORMS OF PAYMENTS, always have . They have amazing staff and are not stingy with the ingredients. I always get the ELOTE and the NACHOS with chilli and cheese. 10/10 highly recommend.
If you don't know come here. CASH ONLY. The food gets your craving out the way! Service is quick and easy but depends when you go they may be a lot of people. Things are freshly made. Not many seating outside but worth the drive
Such a good spot for a hot Houston day. Grab something then get back in the A/C!
My wife and I ordered 2 raspa ( wild cherry and sugar free strawberry), and 2 Frito pies with chili cheese. I can tell you everything was really good. I ordered my SF strawberry with crema (.50 add on) but totally worth it. The Frito pies were amazing with the chili cheese. What stood out was the beans in the chili . It sounds like a bit much but it was really good. Yes, they used name brand Fritos . So good.....What I think stood out was the stations set up for all the orders (shaved ice station, toppings, etc). They had plenty of people to handle the line! It was pretty warm outside but they did have some covered shade. Unpacked parking lot and no drive thru! FYI. This is pretty much my new spot. Check them out!
I've been coming here for a very long time. Probably since I was like eight or nine years old. Whenever I'm in the area I remember to stop by and give them a try. This place is been here for a very long time serving up the local neighborhood. Every time you pass by there's a long line but it moves fast. They do a really good job here. We have been coming here for many years and we continue to support them. Food: I've got a number of their treats here. I can't even count or tell you how many I've gotten but as of late we've tried some of their snowcones. Nachos, hot dogs, etc. I really cannot go wrong with any of their snowcones. Flavors and I really enjoy them. They have a very extensive menu from corn, to snow cold to nachos the sodas the popcorn, candy, you name it they have it. Service is fast and friendly and they do practice social distancing which is good. Parking is a little tight. But the line moves fast to the parking close. If you haven't been here I suggested giving it a try. I really like this please I am barely reviewing it.
Ran across this spot on the way to buy dessert from a bakery and had to stop. I am a sucker for snow cones and wanted to give this a try. The ice isn't the smoothest ever, but it's good. The syrup could also be stronger. However - I think these snow cones are perfect for the price. I haven't found a snow cone this size, with this level of flavor, for under $2. My 4 star review is largely based on the price, because I do believe you get more than what you pay for here.
This place goes way back! Can't believe is still here after 20 years of not going. Highly recommend this place. The raspas have Amazing taste. They don't skip cheese with the Nacho's.
