Armadillo Snow Cones - Mango snow cone, with pickles and chamoy! - Shaved Ice Near Me - Houston, Texas

The best snow cone I have ever had. I don't like snow cones because of the messy nature of them but here the ice is so fine that it's like eating a slushy. They also make sure to have flavoring throughout the whole snow cone rather than just the top. Over all service was great the place is clean and presentable, just a 10/10. I'm happy I went read more

This is one of my favorite spots in the summer! They have a great price and you really get your money's worth! The service is good and the staff is friendly! If you're in need of an ice cold treat to beat the Texas heat, why not stop at our state mammals favorite spot! read more

Authentic Mexican raspas!!!! Yes!! It's a small stand, but they make the most delicious snow cones. They are Mexican owned and have other items on the menu besides snow cones, like elote and aguas frescas. I got the medium size, half blue raspberry, half blue coconut, and it was only $2.50! Perfect for a hot day. Note: it is just a stand with only outside seating area. Plan to eat in your car or take it to go. Good prices and good snacks. 10/10 recommend read more

Why have a business if y'all are never open!! I love the snowcones and everything else from here but dang it's always a hit or miss coming and the houston heat ain't no joke, no where else around here does shaved ice like yall i just wish the business hours were updated on the maps. read more

Houston heat had us grumpy and we needed to cool off! Being close to home I barely discovered. The shaved ice is so soft and in the heat a little to soft. I had a pineapple snocone with pickle dust or so; definitely tasty. The Tostitos chips with corn and cheese decent but not a must have. A little pricey for your buck. A try here and there is worth it. read more

Armadillo Snow Cones - Houston Hot Weather has me like ... where's my snackies ?!? - Shaved Ice Near Me - Houston, Texas

The snow cones was good, the smell outside was terrible. I feel like that it was the sewer , however I had to walk on the opposite side away from the smell until my order was complete. The only thing we didn't like was how they made their elote. The hot Cheetos that's usually on the very top was under the corn. Never seen it done that way and it didn't taste that great. The service was cool, they were very patient and nice . read more

AMAZING SNOWCONES, unlike anything I've ever had before. You will be disappointed if you don't get the crema on top. I had the Wedding Cake and White Leche which was pretty great but the Root Beer and White Leche my mom ordered was even better. You cannot go wrong here as a small is only $2.50 and fills you up like a medium. I recommend 2 flavors and the crema or condensed milk on top. Most of my family ordered Medium sized snow cones and destroyed them. I will be going back!!! read more

How did it take me so long to visit?? This place surpassed all expectations and is my new favorite after just one visit. I got a perfect pina colada snow cone (with soft ice that both required no spoon stabbing and didn't melt immediately in the Texas heat) and elote en vaso. Definitely the best elote I have EVER had in Houston! Dang, maybe I'll go back tomorrow! The logo is cute too- maybe next time I'll see if they have t-shirts or hats.... read more

I'm mad that it has taken me so long to get over here. This place has alllllll the snacks. I love their remix to the traditional elote. They add mozzarella to it, which definitely gives it an extra layer of flavor and dimension. I also tried this thing with hot Cheetos, pickles, and chamoy. Can't recall the name of it, but it's awesome!! Spicy but very awesome. There's also these gummy candies in mango, watermelon, and pineapple, all with chili on them. Soo good. Reminded me of growing up and eating Lucas on the school bus. Lol. The snow cone was good too. It was tamarindo with coconut. The guy suggested it, and was spot on. If you try it, ask for the cream on top. The guy (I think his name is arnold.) was super nice and allowed me to sample some stuff before I made my selections. This place is pretty good. I plan to return soon. I only have on suggestion, all of the candies should come in a ziploc or some plastic wrap, instead of a styrofoam cup. read more

Customer service was spectacular. I love a good smile. Both the snocones we got with crema went hard hard if you know what I mean. I got the tigers blood and the flavors were so on point. My favorite tigers blood I've ever gotten and I get it everywhere. The other one we got was pretty shmackable too, piña colada and pink lemonade w/ tigers blood that one we put cream and the spicy salt on. Overall 10/10 experience. Check out my recent post on Instagram @SPACECITYSHMACKS. DEFINITELY APPROVED!!!!! read more

They're pretty good and they accept credit cards, which is rare in the hood, but they're never open! It's pretty frustrating and I usually end up at the refresqueria on Harrisburg because they have consistent hours. read more

Best snow cones in Houston! I'm from Louisiana so I have high standards for snow cones and Armadillo's are the best. Their ice is soft and the flavors really shine. They have lots of snow cone flavors and great frito pie, elote, and agua frescas. I always get the Tigers Blood with cream OR stuffed with vanilla ice cream. read more

Armadillo Snow Cones - Tigers Blood with ice cream. So good. - Shaved Ice Near Me - Houston, Texas

Best snow cones in East side! Super soft ice, with awesome flavors! Accepts debit and cash. Elote is with the mozzarella!!

Stopped by this evening. Had an amazing experience. Blue Raspberry snow ball was amazing. And huge in size, and only 3.50. Then I added nachos, which were nostalgic and good too. Customer service was A1, and the young lady at the counter was so kind. I'd have pictures if I hadn't demolished on the way home. read more

YUM! The snowcones are delish! Perfect treat on a hot day. Soooo Good! Inexpensive field trip for kids and adults. 3.00 for a large 2-flavor with cream on top, 2.00 for a medium. They are .50 less without the cream, but why wouldn't you splurge? Try them! read more

The Best SnoCone place everr, the quality and texture of the ice was to die for, personally think it was better than Bahama Bucks! I had the Tigers Blood...honestly So Yumm! Definitely recommend the Mango, my friend got it and let me tell you, it was Oh-Soo-Good & very refreshing on this Sunny day!! Tried some of the Pink Léche and I was not disappointed, the Blue Raspberry of course was amazing! They had Excellent Service; Very Welcoming, Extremely Nice & last but not least, Super Quick!!!

Great snow cones ! Super soft ice ! I literally passed by here so many times over the last 5 years and had no idea it was here . Glad I noticed it and stopped . The elote is so good ! Super cheesy . I added chamoy to my strawberry snow cone and it was bomb ! read more

I grew up eating raspas at this place. I was bummed that they little Mickey Mouse sign was taken down recently but the quality of the snow cone is still the same. I moved away from Houston 25 years ago and came back a couple of years ago and as soon as I got back, I headed over to this little stand and found myself feeling all of the feeling of my childhood. I used to ride in the back of the stationwagon or truck of my neighbors every week and we would head over to grab a raspa to ease the day. I always get the Mango with Crema. Love it!!! read more

I've been getting snow cones from here since I was around 7 years old, I've always enjoyed just about every product they had, mango snow cone being my favorite or bubble gum. Prices are very fair. read more
