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

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

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 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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Held out on the review as long as I could just to see if the wait would shift my opinion.... needless to say it did not. The concept of the raspas they create are cool. Also the candy/candy apple choices. It's the taste of the valley in San Antonio. However.... they can be a bit much. I grabbed the "regular" sized Picabear and felt like a glutton. This was a strawberry shaved ice with Chamoy Lucas and gummy bears, while it sounded great in theory it was too much of a good thing. There were more gummy bears than snocone they got hard and inedible with the shaved ice. I would not recommend getting this. Another person with me got the large fresanada this had just all shaved strawberry ice with a bit of Kool-aid / chamoy / lucas and sour belts on the top. We ended up sharing this gigantic one as mine was a melted chewy mess. I would get this again. Stars were deducted as they had no menu whatsoever. I thought that was ridiculous. How can we see the variety??? I think this slows the super long line down as the person tells us the entire menu face to face and gets you confused to what contains what. They repeat the menu by mouth to EVERY SINGLE PERSON IN LINE. Not cool. Tasty but not with the long wait. My best and favorite were the gummy bears in a bag with chamoy and lucas. Until they streamline the process...I would wait. read more

We saw there was a demand for more shaved ice stands as the only other thing was the standard conversion vans riddled with ice cream stickers; that offerd shaved ice mobile . Ughh. ! ! that stuff didn't cut it . Very grainy and waterd down ! Most all of these vans carry the same pre-gound ice from the same wholeseller and it sits melting away in an ice chest till served aborbing and holding water to dilute your full flavor.

The concept of a food truck park is appealing, but during our visit there was only one food vendor and a snow cone stand. We were hoping for more food options and a livelier atmosphere. The location has potential, but it needs more vendors and traffic to deliver the experience being advertised

1st of all, food is not good at all. My family has noticed that if this place is given BAD…read morereviews/comments about their experience, the owner removes all NEGATIVE COMMENTS. Which basically says a lot about him or her being an own. Own up to you raw cooked burgers, or NO condiments that go with a burger as like lettuce, tomatoes and or pickles. We attended over a year and a half ago and decided to return for ONE event. It was the worst. NO hair nets, NO gloves, selling a basic burger and chips for a way over price cost. A woman smelling like alcohol yelling "BURGERS". No professionalism at this place. SEX sells for the owner I am going to assume. WE asked to speak to the owner but they would not point them out. Wonder why? The person I was told was a manager is not management material. We asked for toilet paper and she brushed us off. We ask a gentleman who was constantly either consuming food or on his phone (eating disgusting with mouth open), brushed us off and stated customers are stealing toilet paper. Again, poor management and ownership. Saw it was for sale and honestly I can not wait for new ownership. 2nd, we were told about this location had a new spot in a town down the road. Went there, and enjoyed the beautiful trailer selling as a pop of market but in a trailer, and what was even better was the air conditioning in this place. The tall gentleman was very welcoming and joke with us and the woman whom he stated owned this cute little shop was very kind and inviting. I recommend this shop and follow them on social media. The cost of alcohol is EXTREMELY high. The little town is a good spot but the food is not up to parr, DO BETTER. Restrooms were like a sauna and when asked if the a/c would be turned on, instructions from owner were they do not turn them on due to cost of electricity. What??? You own two locations but do not want to make the expense of electricity. Tried birria tacos and meat was not tasty and was more like potted meat. Pretty disgusting. Burger there was also undercooked and only given about 7 strands of french fries. Guess the owner really is pinching pennies. My advice, sell quickly. You have to many flies and dirty trash cans you cant even consume your food in peace.

This might not look filling BUT trust me when I say that Rob serves you up enough to make you satisfied.

The guys working in the truck were very friendly and you could tell they were loving what they were doing! The egg rolls were better than any restaurant I've ever been too. The sweet chili sauce they served with it was delicious. We also had the kimchi fries which were pretty good. The steak on top was so tender and yummy Our favorite was the Korean chicken and southern fried rice which had bacon in it. I noticed the picture of the entree we received didn't look like the pictures they had on social media but it was so good. They told us we'd be receiving the last serving of it because they had run out. The sezchuan shrimp with udon noodles was loaded with flavor. We ordered it spicy. MMMMMMM. Would definitely order it again.

This place is NO good who wants to wait in line for 3-4 hours and then get up in line and they don't have the same things you want. There's way better places in and around SA. There constantly moving around and show boating there products are not even quality they melt fast so I'm literally tasting water down treats. There's a place on the Northside of SA TFF that's been around for 6 years that makes all these treats and is way better. I'm from the valley and told them about picadilly's 6 years ago and they created there own and it taste better than back home. There speedy and have less wait time. The Frosty Frog is way better:) read more

My point…read moreis: I've seen this place upgrade & change so much--from a white shed, single serving window, and maybe a bench or two (2)--to what it is now. There isn't much to say: it's your typical snow cone place with chips & cheese, and some options of ice cream for the kiddos (who am I kidding, this is mostly for kiddos). I do prefer this place more or less for their add-ins--it tastes better from here for some nostalgic reason. Growing up, I do remember them having horse rides for the littles (don't know if they still do that), and I do appreciate the use of the outdoor space with their selection of plants. Wish I could say more.

Great stop for snacks!…read more Kids stopped for mangonadas, fresadas, picadilies, and cucumber cups. They also have fruit cups, nachos, hot dogs, limonadas, and a variety of shaved ice flavors. $10 funnel cakes in plain, strawberry, Oreo, or half and half. They were very friendly and got our order out to us quickly. Outdoor seating is aplenty, both in the sun and in the shade. The breeze in the shade was nice. They do have restrooms, and it's locked by key. You have to ask the attendant for the key. It's cash only, but they have an ATM onsite. Parking lot right next to the place. If close stop by for those tummy delights.

The ice has that perfect crunchy texture, and the flavors actually taste strong all the way through. They don't water anything down and they're not stingy with the syrup either. What really makes this place special is the nostalgia. Pulling up here feels the same as it did when I was a kid, especially on a hot day. It's one of those local spots that's been doing it right for years and never fell off. And somehow, they've kept their prices pretty much the same over the years super affordable, which you don't see much anymore. They've also got a variety of amazing snacks like pepinos, sundaes, botanas, and corn in a cup, so it's not just snow cones, you've got options depending on what you're craving. Me personally, I always go with a Picadilly snowcone with everything on it and a pepino on the side,get it sour, it tastes amazing. That combo never misses. The service is always quick and friendly, and the whole vibe is just chill and real. No extras needed they've already perfected what they do. If you grew up around here, you probably already know about Chris N Kids. If you haven't been yet, you're missing out.
