I am writing to formally express my deep concern regarding the treatment my senior ladies received…read moreat your establishment on 5/24. What was meant to be a simple, enjoyable outing turned into an experience that left them feeling dismissed and unwelcome. Our staff member reported that while she was placing individual orders for each person in our group of six, the cashier became visibly irritated and closed the service window after the second order--without explanation. She had to knock on the window just to get someone to return and complete the remaining orders. This behavior is unacceptable under any circumstances, but especially when serving seniors who rely on patience and courtesy. Shortly afterward, while the ladies were seated at a table, one of your employees removed the umbrella that was providing them with shade. These are older adults, and shade is not a convenience--it is a matter of comfort and safety. Removing it without offering an alternative or explanation showed a disregard for their well‑being. We understand that employees may have long days, but none of this justifies treating customers--particularly vulnerable seniors--in such a dismissive manner. Our intention was to give these ladies a pleasant treat. Instead, they were made to feel like an inconvenience.

Hawaiian shaved ice is much better than an ordinary snowcone because it is thinly shaved down to give it a powdery, snow-like texture that absorbs the flavored syrups directly into it, unlike snowcones made with crushed ice. Moreover, wherever you find a Hawaiian shaved ice stand, you almost always find more flavored syrup options, including tropical flavors like mango, guava, and passionfruit. And a cream topping like vanilla or coconut condensed milk is layered on top of the cone. Tropic Hawaiian Shave Ice has additional chocolate and banana cream toppings. It is located inside the Speedy Zapatos Mexican restaurant at the front counter. This place will pile on the shaved ice and liberally drench it with the flavored syrups and cream toppings. There are nearly 30 flavor choices and a large cone is only $7. I like the flavors I picked: banana, bubble gum, and mango. Awesome Hawaiian shaved ice! It definitely hits the spot on a scorching hot day.

Maxi Raspado always seems to have a good amount of people and I happen to pass by today right before their rush, so the wait time was pretty much zero. The environment seem very inviting and clean. And the staff was very kind and service oriented. Ordered the bananas, plat with strawberry, chocolate, vanilla, ice cream, Period. It was very rich and creamy. So I'm assuming that they are using quality ice cream for their business. I definitely indulged. And I also had a Mexican shaved ice treat called a raspado de leche quemada con nuez. This was creamy, rich in flavor, and the use of real walnuts played extremely well with flavors of the leche quemada. This place is 10 out of 10 on the flavor scale! Price was on point for the types of goodies consumed. And service was also a 10 out of 10. Thank you Maxi Raspados and I will definitely be back plenty more times over the summer.
