Aguas Frescas - authentic, fresh made with real ingredients. Italian Ice, tastes like a scoop of paleta. Buy local, support friendly family-owned. Store is fun and clean, A/100 inspection.

Dr Pepper Hawaiian style.....she dove in before I got a good photo.

So many flavors! I love there is an option to sit inside and not just a drive through. Love the options to have ice cream and cream. Employees are all nice and they were pretty fast. Cheerful environment and you can even play games while you eat.

I love their sno cones. These are some of the best sno cones I've ever had. And of course, they have other great things to offer such as corn in a cup, etc.

When you walk in there are several pictures of their sweet treats posted on the walls. It was nice to see what their menu items look like before ordering. There are also a few menus posted around so it's easy to decide what you want as you're waiting for your turn to order. The ice cream is blocked so you can't see it, but you are able to look at a list of their flavors. The young man working was very kind and patient as we looked at all our options. When I asked about something, he explained what all was in the treat then pointed at the wall and told me where to find the picture. I think many people would have just told me it was on the wall, but he took the time to explain how it was made step by step. We got a brownie sundae which was pretty basic - the brownie and cookies were slightly dry and it was plain vanilla ice cream so it didn't exactly feel worth the money. The Oreo one was definitely worth it, but VERY sweet! There are two Oreos and ice cream sandwich on top of an Oreo milkshake. Man was it good, though!! We wouldn't drive across town for it again, but if we're in the area again I'd try one of their mangonadas or another Mexican treat!

This place was a very typical snack shop. With chips and cheese, shaved ice, corn in a cup, and even mini pancakes. It was slow/empty when i arrived and i was greeted and served immediately. Staff were friendly and ready to help. Establishment was clean, they have plenty of indoor seating. Chips and cheese (not pictured) were good, cheese was hot! Shaved ice is very much like bahama bucks and not raspa like :(. If you're craving it, check them out, prices were pricey so I wouldn't make it a habit.

Aly W.

Overall it was a cute place to grab a snack. The are was sketchy though so we probably won't be back. Orders: Cotton candy shave Ice Strawberry delight (I think?) It was all very good! We just popped in and out though so not much to say about service or snacking in.

Courtney C.

Amazing food! But a bit overwhelming on what you can order. Delicious as heck, but I feel I would need an old fashioned diner menu to know all of my options.

Christina C.

5 star service from the friendly staff! Clean, calm spot (when I came anyway)! I've passed by before and there was lots of people! It's evident too from the laid out & roped off entrance & exit, which organizes how to line up w/ directions as you enter. Woman who I ordered with was really nice. Answered my question inquiring what was in the cucumber split-mango Italian ice and more! I wanted it to be smaller so I didn't order it. Ordered nachos w/ jalapeños and a small strawberry Italian ice. Nachos were the familiar favorite & exactly as expected. Italian ice was super soft and quite tasty. It wasn't at all overly sweet, in fact, I kind of wanted sweeter. I also didn't ask if it was an option to get two different kinds in the choice of flavors. I didn't even think about it. Honestly, for the taste I wanted, a mini with one scoop would've served me perfectly. Some of the other snacks looked like super sized snacks. I just wanted little snacks. Ha. Maverick, who is the assistant manager & prepared both of my things was super friendly & when I told him I wanted the cucumber split, but thought it was too big, he said to try it next time because it's served in the same dish as the nachos, so it's not very big. He also said the Italian ice does pretty well in the freezer if you don't finish it. Aguas frescas are also made fresh in house. I'll be back to try at least a few more things on their extensive menu! Only criticism is beyond their control, or maybe something to bring up with building management since it's outside of the store- There were a couple of unhoused people sitting next to the building drinking and tweeking. They weren't a bother but in that mental state, we all just have to be safe & aware of our surroundings (wherever we go, really), that's all.

Their snow cones are beautiful and taste great too. They add condensed milk to our that gave it an extra sweet flavor. The inside of the restaurant is a bit sticky though, which I suppose could be expected with kids and melting sweets. Service was typical. There was not a lot of seating, we ended up taking ours to go.

Ciara L.

Food was delicious prices are awesome mango flavored Piccadilly was awesome reminded me of home in Corpus Christi corn in the cup was yummy too highly recommend you stop by during the summer for a true Mexican treat

Unless I'm out in Hawaii or somewhere out west, I'm usually pretty skeptical of Hawaiian themed places that sell poke, musubi, or in this case, shaved ice. Aloha caught me by surprise for offering a lovely version of shaved ice; one that had me wanting more. Now after having gone back a time or two, I am super appreciative that something like this exists in San Antonio. For starters, they've been taking the pandemic seriously. There is still no indoor dining and they have folks socially distant for every line that forms. They have sanitizer at the tables and offer touchless payment options and the staff is masked up. (#1) The AC is blasting in the place and they have the proper decor (surfboard too!) to give the place a pseudo-tropical feel. They'll even rock a 10% discount for a social media follow. I went the strawberry and pineapple explosion, which is strawberry / pineapple flavored shaved ice with fruit over a bed of ice cream and topped off with condensed milk. It was sweet, refreshing, and everything I wanted. In fact, it was the best way to get acquainted with the business and is a personal highlight for me down here. The woman behind the register had also mentioned that "everything is good." I usually never take that to heart, but somehow I ordered very random things and still managed to enjoy them all. Everything from birthday cake ice cream, mangonadas, esquite (or as they call it: "corn in a cup"), and she was right: it really was all very good. Before any island lovers get too amped up about this, I would still maintain real Hawaiian spots are goals, but this is a solid alternative. The staff is mainly all Spanish speaking and are pretty friendly. The menu is adjusted to adhere to the local tastes, which is why there's aguas fresas, supernadas, nachos, etc. If there was any drag, it was the super sticky floor, table surfaces, and grubby door handles. This is a result of people eating their desserts early and/or spilling around them. Most of the culprit is melted ice cream or syrup. I hope they take the time to clean things up so that it's not a pervasive problem. ___________ (#1) If only we could say the same about the patrons.

Loved the Italian ice. Had the cucumber with Limon loco (lime and chamoy). I got the small sized and it was huge. At first I thought it was going to be too much but the sweet Limon loco went perfectly with the mild cucumber. I've never seen cucumber italian ice bwgore but I'm glad I tried it. It was midly sweet and went perfectly to balance the other sweet flavor. I probably wouldn't get the cucumber on its own but I complements other flavors super well. Often mangonada type Italian ices are too sweet but this balanced it perfectly. I'd come back in a heart beat. read more

My husband and I decided to try this place after a long hike at a nearby park. Since we went during the pandemic, we weren't able to sit inside which is very understandable. I'm not sure what the setup was before COVID but I would have enjoyed being able to eat inside with my husband as a mini date. The service was very friendly and fast. Let me just say that the shaved ice was REFRESHING after that long walk!!! Soft and flavorful. The blue coconut tasted like being at the beach. Since I can't actually go to the beach right now, this was the next best thing. I definitely recommend this place. I can't wait to go back and try all the flavors! read more

We also ordered the classic Piccadilly which was also awesome - lots of pickles and chamoy :) we got a corn in the cup and that was also 5 stars for sure! The owners were really friendly and gave us free chocolate covered strawberries to thank us for trying them out.

The ice cream might be fabulous but...they advertise indoor seating on their website and unlike their advertisement, they DO make you stand outside in 100° weather. So as you stand outside with your expensive ice creams and watch them melt...there isn't even a trash can for you to use. False advertisement!!!! And poor customer service. Buy your expensive ice cream at a place that at least has a trash can. read more

Mexican shaved ice is pretty much my favorite snack on any day of the year. Even on a cold winter day, I went to Aloha to try out their mangonadas. The store is really adorable inside. It has cheerful and bright decorations. I like that there is ample indoor seating. Many Mexican shaved ice places have some outdoor seating or just have no seating. So, this was very much welcomed! There are a ton of snacks to choose from (that I am dying to try next time). I ordered a mangonada and some flat lollipops (they're weird and sticky but I like them). The mangonada has a great shaved ice to chamoy ratio. Their chamoy sticks are home made! I think I prefer the store bought kind but I think it is cool they made their own. The shaved ice is the real star. It is soft and has chunks of mango throughout. There weren't any icy bits, just smooth, with tiny pieces of mango. I loved it! I saw some other snacks on the menu, like the watermelon and split cucumber. I definitely want to bring some friends next time to share! read more

BOMBBBBB treats! Loved the food 100%. Customer service was pretty good, nothing spectacular but over all decent experience! I only gave it 3 stars because the environment is so wack. There is no seating. Nobody wants to eat shaved ice in their car... too messy. This truly takes away from the experience because people usually bring their kids out to eat. And if you have multiple children with no chairs.... You'll probably end up going else where. They do, however, have outdoor seating. No tables, just benches. While I sat there with my kids, I was attacked by a bunch of flies. Such an annoying experience overall. If I come back, I'll probably go without the kids! read more

When me and my cousins arrived there on a Saturday afternoon it was busy! I really wanted to try the matcha ube ice cream sundae, the pricing was as expected. When the ice cream sundae came it was big!! Much bigger than expected- we shared this with four people and it was a good decision because the sweetness makes limited to what you can eat. There was crunchy Oreo crumbles, chewy mochi balls, moist matcha cake pieces, and more. My husband got a matcha latte- they have a lot of seasonal drinks. The day we went it seemed to be a market day so at the back of the cafe there were vendors selling Japanese trinkets like stickers, keychains, etc. I wish there was one near my house because I love matcha and it has all matcha related desserts and drinks, everything was delicious!!

Frostbites Shaved Ice

We were in search of shaved ice/snowcone to cool us off on a hot day and found Frostbites on the…read moresearch. I hadn't looked too much at the reviews and didn't realize that it was a food truck. Google maps initially directed us to the plaza area where the stores were instead of the parking area where the food truck was. The New Orleans style intrigued me and they were so nice to provide us with samples of the shaved ice and different flavors. Pillowy soft ice for sure and very reasonable prices! My husband and I both had the Cajun sizes though after I got started, it felt like a lot for me. I had the Blueberry and Pina Colada combo. I think the Blueberry took over the Pina Colada taste and color in my cup. That's the only reason why I didn't give it 5 stars. My husband had the Root Beer and Strawberry and enjoyed his. Strawberry is one of their more popular flavors. Until I looked at the reviews, I didn't realize that this food truck has been around for several years already! Definitely a great one to remember for more hot summer days!

Their fruit cups taste like they were cut by angels--perfectly juicy, perfectly cold, and loaded with lime, tajín, and chamoy that hit every taste bud at once. The mangonadas and fresanadas?

As I said, everything was phenomenal. Unfortunately, there is one issue we cannot look past, although we have tried. The bagels are delicious, but they are the absolute wettest, slippery and slidey-est bagels I've ever had in my life. The meal is spent looking down and hoping my beloved or other guests don't see the schmear up to my nose. By the end, we are having to reconstruct our bagel, as it looks like roadkill on the table. It is not a user error, as we eat slowly and carefully. I even have friends who refuse to come back here because it was the messiest eating experience of their lives. It's so unbelievably messy. We have to rinse off in their bathroom before leaving. I have to take my rings off and put my hair up. It's a commitment, one we are not strong enough to make at this point. Delicious, but.... we must bid you farewell, Boss Bagel. Godspeed.

We ordered the Special House Bun with beef, pork, chicken, shrimp and a crispy egg roll. The proportion of vermicelli noodles to fresh lettuce, carrots, cucumber, bean sprouts and peanuts provide d that perfect bite were one ingredient dominated the other. All the proteins were cooked perfectly. The real winner was the lemongrass Banh mi with once again perfectly proportioned ingredients. We also ordered the fresh spring roll, which never came but wasn't missed except that they did try to charge us for but did remove them. They definitely have some work to make this a comfortable dining experience but I wouldn't let it stop you from trying some phenomenal Vietnamese food.

I used to love coming here with my family. But after three bad experiences in a row I've decided this place doesn't deserve my hard earned money. They've made it clear that they aren't about serving their customers. You come in half an hour before they close and they aren't serving half of the food on the menu because they'd rather close it down early than close it down when they actually closed. Two of the girls working there are catty, have such a terrible attitude, and talk bad about you while you're inside eating (especially the larger tall girl who's always there, she's the owners sons girlfriend ). After tonight, I'm done with Aloha for good. Not treating your customers right is a quick way to lose business. Get it together! read more

Drove by at around 9:10 and saw Aloha had the lights on took a chance to see if they were open being that they advertise closing at 9!! Success they were open I ordered a strawberry dream to die for strawberry slushy with icecream in the middle and fresh strawberries on top!!! Highly recommend... also found out they won the Mangonada competition here in SA!!! The staff is so friendly, and location is super clean!! Now I know if the lights are on they are open!!! Go check them out!!! read more
