Always hits the spot! The snacks are AMAZING- I love chamoy and lucas. Big daddy's is a year round craving for me. They have a cute little seating area to wait for your order and it's a vibe if you go at night. The service can take a little long but the wait is 100% worth it. read more

Everybody has a time in their life where they are like damn I'm craving something sweet, cheap and maybe sour. That's where this place comes in. With everything from strawberry belts to chamoy filled Raspas with different flavors and different names it's great during first Friday or any other day of the week. I live in area and often go for a can of soda which they always have or a bag of cucumbers. Yes a bag. They heavily douse the bag with Lucas and chamoy for a cheap 5 bucks and you're on your way. I usually also get two or three strawberry belts which are great to the senses! It's usually always packed which is good because it is good, park on clay and walk around if there's no parking on Cevallos. Don't show them the free item on yelp they will not honor it. Have a great time! read more

My first time coming here was the summer of '69...ok not really. It was actually the summer of 2017 and the ice cream was phenomenal. My two teenage daughters have been annoying me to bring them back to Big Daddy's for a year now. We get there in the late evening after shopping at Academy in Selma for swimwear and there is literally 2 people ahead of us. It was Father's Day 2018 so maybe that's why it wasn't jam packed with people. My boring kids order just the plain Jane Coconut ice cream, as for me I get Coconut ice cream with the Blue Coconut Syrup and have them add fresh banana. Sarah the cashier was so amazing, she even threw in a few fresh strawberries! There was a guy working next to her and when they called our number and we got our order he said to me "Sarah made yours with love" then I saw how amazing it looked. You can tell Sarah took pride in making that delicious treat! I wish I could tell you her last name but please go see Sarah! She was very polite, took the orders accurately and had an amazing smile! Thank you Big Daddy for not denting my wallet too bad and for hiring cool, smart and courteous people like Sarah. We'll definitely be back all summer long! read more

There's not much to complain or say about this place. As I was visiting San Antonio I went to this place as I took a detour to my hotel. It was really good. One of the best shaved Ice I have had and a very reasonable price for a medium size cup. The peach one is the one I got and it was delicious. The employee at the window was nice and really friendly. This place gets a plus for having shade. And a lot of sitting area outside the place. I will be back next time I visit. read more

The only downside to this place (other than the limited parking which isn't there fault) is the lack of shade. But the ice and treats are amazing! Maybe pointers for the place?: The chairs are all in one big circle which is kinda awkward. Spread them around and create little mini circles for families. Maybe a table with umbrellas where the covering doesn't reach so you can utilize all of your space. Some fans and some music? read more

Food was amazing and not expensive. Great staff as well, the drinks were awesome. Should've got two of them

Awesome but pricey. They take their time to make these tangy treats and they have some of the best flavored cucumbers ever, but at the end of the day, I can't see myself eating all of the extra goodies on top like the sour belts and other things (far too many sweets). This is a great place to take someone who wants to try a fun San Antonio treat, but be sure to start them off easy! Aside from offerings, parking is sometimes a hassle. Many surrounding businesses threaten people with towing, understandably... so parking is definitely a problem. read more

This is such a great snack place to go! I absolutely love their Mangonadas and piccas. The raspa are on point and the quality is fantastic. I will definitely continue coming when I'm in this side of town. As for the service, it was great and fast. There was a wait if only 2 minutes. The location is very cozy and makes you want to be outside. Culture is cute and clean. Love it! read more

This place is pretty basic, I have been here more than once and everything I have gotten isn't to die for.. it's all a hype. The corn they use is the frozen corn, not even from the actual elote which is a lil disappointing.. call me picky, but I like the real thing! The wait time is ok...I recently came here and the line was so long but surprisingly my order didn't take too long.. I recommend the place but there are better in the city. read more

My family completely fell in love with Big daddy's. The banana split is by far our favorite. The pineapple was so sweet and fresh. We appreciate the friendly faces, great customer service. read more

One of the best Raspas and treat places I've had so far in San Antonio. Considering how many people were there and ordering, we got our treats pretty fast. I had a coconada while my fiancé had a fresanda. They were both extremely delicious. We had the fresanada plain and the coco made with pineapple and Lucas candy. (Lucas is Mexican candy that's really tangy and delicious) it was the perfect blend of sweet and tangy to go with the creamy coconut Ice cream. To be honest I thought it was soft serve for a second because of how soft and creamy it actually was. So excited to go back; I've been dreaming about that mandarin dream! I also indulged in a candy apple. Pretty hard to find in Miami where I'm from, so this was a delightful experience. All around food quality, flavor and customer service! read more

I LOVED this place during my visit to San Antonio!!! Every single thing on their menu is delicious. I went with a big group and was able to try a bunch of different stuff. Everything was so mouth watering - we kept reordering more! Cheetos con queso - very flavorful and satisfying for a hungry stomach. Expect the runs afterwards! read more

We went there expecting ice cream, and apparently all they have is shaved ice, even though they advertise blue bell ice cream. With that said, we tried some kind of concoction that have mango and strawberry sherbet, which was a bit icey, but they added all these bizarre ingredients and tastes. Pickles in an "ice cream" and a sour dust? Who would have thunk it?? It was surprisingly good and spicy at the end. I'm not a fan of spicy, but it wasn't overpowering. So I give that a four star. They suggested a smurf "ice cream" which was coconut flavored and blue dye for our son, since kids love that one. I guess we have the one kid that's not crazy about it, no fault of theirs. But we did leave with him still wanting an ice cream. I give that a two star rating. For those reasons, I have to give the rating I did, which balanced out. read more

The staff was rude and a girl that was working back there did not want to honor the help check in, she stated that they no longer used Yelp. After back and forth she eventually did honor the free medium shaved ice. I understand it was late they were dealing with another grumpy customer. I was very nice to them though I've been by that location twice and its always the same rude attitude. Guess I'll just find a different place. The people at wizards are always nice an friendly. read more

I love the flavor of the mangonada, it was delicious. But waiting outside in the heat for 20 minutes just isn't worth it, there are other indoor places that are just as good. While eating my mangonada I found a piece of plastic, which was also a huge disappointment, not to mention a hazard. I'm glad I made the trip out there to finally try these famous mangonadas, but I probably wouldn't try them again. read more

Snacks are great!!! Unbelievably delicious!! But expect to wait A LONG TIME... the lines are usually long and the wait on your order is almost longer. It would be awesome if they had more than just one window taking orders and more employees making the orders. Is the wait worth it in the end yea... but you have to have patience for this place. Staff could use a customer service course because they are not very welcoming. One staff member had a black eye, would not allow me to remove an ingredient from a cucumber order, and when they did not put ice cream on a raspa like I had requested they made grunts and had faces like I picked their job for them. Staff IMMEDIATELY and URGENTLY NEEDS an upgrade. That's the only flaw this place has . read more

Big Daddy's is a raspa walk up window type place. Choices are very limited. They were out of a lot of items on my visit. The mangonada was great but no chunks of real fruit. The outdoor space has potential to be a great hang out, but right now it is just metal benches along the edges in the blazing hot sun. If they offer more items and improve the outside space it could easily be a 5 star option. read more

Everything I love about San Antonio cuisine in one truck. Not really but these guys can make a mean thing of cucumbers. I used to have this ice cream man who made them better, but Big Daddy's is good too. I haven't tried many of their creations, but of the stuff I've had, I enjoyed. They seem to be more than an ice cream man and market themselves more as a food truck. If you follow them on Facebook, they usually post where they'll be that day. I wish they'd go back to Woodlawn because there's really nothing better after a run than downing triple your daily intake of sodium in one sitting. No lie. I don't know what's in Lucas and chamoy, and don't want to know, but I know it can't be good for you in large doses. I'd give them more stars but the wait is ridiculous. I wouldn't wait that long for hardly anything, much less a snack. I think people go just to go. I mean, come on. It's shit you can do, very easily, at your house without waiting 2 hours in line. Like legit. Or you can just go to another one of the *many* fruterias San Antonio has to offer. It's not like these folks are cornering the market on cucumbers with lucas and chamoy. read more

Where to start? San Antonio is all about chamoy and fruit cups. Big Daddys takes it up a not h to include pickles (dilly) and sour options to spice up your regular fruit cups. They also offer the childhood reminiscent classics: funnel cakes, nachos, hot cheetos with cheese, and frito pie. Candy apple preparadas and cherry bombs are sometimes available so be sure to ask. Main location off Cevallos but newer location on Military is line free. Perfect for snack or mid tourist site meal. Big Daddys will leave you wanting more read more

So you came to visit San Antonio and decided to walk around in the sweltering heat. You are on a mad search for a desert that the locals crave. Head on over to Big Daddy's to get a truly local unique treat. They have the original raspas and sonic the hedgehog with the gumball eyes or you can grab a Fresa Bear strawberry slush with chamoy and gummy bears. Don't miss this spot! read more

Big Daddy's Eats & Treats - Mangonada Bear - Food Trucks Near Me

Pros: spacious, fenced in, colorful yard, large menu for easy ordering, delicious raspas, employees will touch up on chamoy/lucus if you ask, and use their yelp deal on your first visit! Cons: The wait time- this was the biggest turn off. more than 30 minutes for a mangonada and coconada when there were only 2 customers before us Overpriced- same stuff at similar places (los cocos, las nieves) cost almost half as much :( Lots of space, but limited bench seating- when the raspa towers over the cup, i need a table! Or at the very least, more seating. They could benefit from adding a couple picnic tables read more

For the price of the snow cones I would expect real snow cone flavor. It tasted just like koolaid just tart. I would not go there for the snow cones. read more

Super poor service with all aspects of operations. We ordered 5 different items which they gave to us in a random order with every other customer in between. I dont understand why they are not completing one order at a time. It's like going to McDonald's and placing your order they give you your double cheese burger then 20 minutes later they bring you the chicken nuggets to complete your order. Makes no sense but maybe they dont care. Every one of our raspas had only the top of cone with water down flavored cherry. Look at pics that are tagged. read more

A bit pricey but love the treats. They don't staff accordingly sometimes and don't allow certain items to be put in more convenient carrying containers. If that is going to be the case, a few tables would be nice. read more

The portions are way too big. If I get a small I'd like it to stay in the cup not stick out a whole foot from my cup that they end up having to put a plate in place to keep all the crap in lol. The wait time is ridiculous. Now I understand if it's packed the line may take awhile BUT DUDE WHEN THAT PLACE IS DRY AF AND AINT NOBODY THERE they still take forever to come to the window. The only reason I come here is because it's walking distance and I don't have a car. The Italian ice options are limited to mango and strawberry. They need to look up a place called Andrews and take notes. Oh and whoever does the money there is stupid. They tried to give me $5 in dimes. I'm not the first to complain about the money. read more

This is my favorite place to take my friends from out of town when they want to try traditional raspas, elotes, and any other traditional Mexican street foods. It is amazing, well priced, and the people who work there and incredibly kind. The raspas are DELICIOUS & the Mangobear (that I posted the pictures of) are amazing! My only issue is that Yelp said that they took Apple Pay but they DON'T!! Don't go without card or cash. I had to scramble to ask for cash because I only brought my phone to pay. No android pay or Apple Pay!!! read more

Big Daddy's Eats & Treats - Food Trucks Near Me

I've visited here twice already. I love it!!! It's affordable and not too long of a detour away from my place. Plus, the sweet and sourness in the half sandabear / mangodilly or some shit like that--the menu was a little hard to understand-- was phenomenal. I was entranced on my first bite. A big shout out to one of the servers for recommending it. Anyway, I would agree that it's a little run down, has next to no seating options, would greatly benefit from turning on their little fire pit thing and having some tables. Not the best of place for an ambiance, but bottom line: It's tasty, big, and cheap. The holy trifecta has emerged once more. Probably gonna get my lil Roysito to drive me out a third time. Sooner than he'd probably appreciate. lol read more

I've been here a couple of times already. I can't get enough of it. It's the first time I experienced this sort of extravagant shaved ice. Very creative. There has always been a wait when I go but the staff stays friendly and helpful when choosing. Clean business. Only downside is that there's not enough seating when waiting and no tables to eat on read more
