    a bowl of rice and chili
    Amber C.

    I had the elote . It was pretty good . I didn't realize it was only cash only so thankfully I had a few dollars on me . Haven't tried anything else . Might go again next time if I have a couple of dollars hanging around .

    We're here!

    Cute, quaint, cultural, delicious! A great local spot to visit on a Sunday afternoon, especially when it's hot. We ordered elote all the way around and a variety of snow cones. We'll be back to try all of the fresh fruit combos! We had elote and snow cones on our minds. Can sit outside on the deck with music, ceiling fans, and a great cross breeze.

    In line at Acapulco Tropical Located next to the Dollar tree.

    This place takes cash only which lucky enough I had but a huge inconvenience for me. Other than that this place had many options and their Mangonada was amazing! It was a mango sorbet with Chile and chamoy. I will definitely be coming back here again, their snow cones are amazing and good price for what you get.

    The corn is my favorite thing from here. Though overall is pretty good. Only down side is they only take cash. I'm not sure if now they do.

    It's 2023. No electronic payment is not good customer service. Waiting in line in the heat not to get to order. Unnecessarily unacceptable.

    What a cute coffee shop! We found ourselves here one morning as we had an appointment close by on…read moreS. Mason. Traffic wasn't too bad along Mason and the location was easy to find using GPS. The coffee shop is part of a shopping strip that includes other popular businesses like Aji Ramen and Hoodadak. The ambiance and decor are quite lovely! The cafe is much larger inside than I expected, and it was super clean with good, reliable WiFi. We just stopped by for a few minutes and were recommended the honey nut latte as one of their more popular drinks. We got it hot. It was perfect! Not too hot, definitely not cold, great flavor, strong coffee flavor, and not too sweet. There's also a wall of fancy teas that's definitely worth checking out. (See my photo.) Service was also good! Nice, kind employee and the drink came out quickly. Luckily there wasn't a line when I arrived and only 2 other people in the cafe chatting at the time. If you find yourself on S Mason in Katy and wanting coffee or tea, check out this place!

I liked the quality of their coffee and would go back to try other items. They also have plenty of seating so its a great spot to work at or hang with friends.

The staff is pretty friendly and thorough, reminding you what you can get on your order, such as the toppings. The soft serve is so good here, not overly sweet, and full of fun flavors. I've tried the horchata ube swirl and it was surprisingly such a good match together. I got my pastry with the matcha filling, which was just as expected. I need to go back to try all the other fillings and soft serve flavors, but custard is my favorite so far!

I…read morefind the menu wasn't quite as user-friendly to read as I didn't know what ahboong was and my eyes just gravitated right to taiyaki since I had wanted the fish filling waffle and I didn't know how much it was to add an ice cream with it. I think the menu could be improved on. My cousin and I both had the taiyaki. I got the matcha custard and there was barely any filling. I kept biting into my fish but all I got was waffle with no matcha in sight. And when I finally got close to the tail there was barely a dab of it. I was pretty disappointed. The Nutella on the other hand has a moderate amount. Would be nice if the place wasn't skimping on the filling :/
