Im not from this area and was craving fruit for lunch. I drove by and enticed by the window advertisments, I went to get a fruit bowl. The service was quick and easy & she even gave me a teacher discount. I ordered the Bionico's bowl that comes with Papaya, strawberry, bananas, cantaloupe, apples and topped with Gabbys special dressing ( taste very similar to creme cheese fruit dip) coconut, granola and raisins. The bowl looked correct until I noticed there were no strawberries as advertised. I did call 4 times. The first time they answered heard me half way through and then hung up. Next few times I was forwarded or it just rang. That small bit took my experience with this business from 8 to 1. How rude. I simply was calling to let them know about the mistake and to be more aware. Sad to say I may never return. read more

El Kiosko - Elote - Juice Bars & Smoothies Near Me - Houston, Texas

I ordered some troles (pina loka and mangonada) as well as chips locos (total was around $13/14). I enjoyed both flavors of the troles and the chips locos was good but I don't think I'm the biggest fan of cueritos. I liked the jicama and peanuts though! The service was standard but it did take a while for our food to be ready. Overall, it's not the best I've had but it's decent enough to fix a craving! read more

I hadn't been here in a few years but I was in the area and decided to stop by. Then I remember why I stopped coming, prices have obviously gone up but the service remains the same as the last time I visited. I must say when I was there in the past it was pretty packed, I understood that the waiting time was a bit long due to that but this time there was literally 4 of us in there and an order for each. Of course there was one person doing all the work and they took their 15 mins to get our order done which was only 4 items. The girl who also took our order was not enthusiastic,either, she just wanted to get the order done and over with. I wish they were more caring and had more staff. I will not be going back. Food was ok not what you expect for the prices. The place is clean but half of the place is closed, maybe because they don't want anyone getting it dirty so then what's the point of having all that seating. Weird. read more

Perfect spot for a hot sunny day with a variety of menu options and customizable, staff is very friendly, attentive, and service was amazing. 10/10 would recommend read more

Got a corn in the cup and tasted bad.... I go to several locations and never had an experience like this I went back inside to see if they can remake it or if I can get something else for same or less price than what I've paid and the lady tells me sorry I can't remake it or give you something else!! They also only accept cash... another red flag read more

El Kiosko - Nasty watery corn in the cup - Juice Bars & Smoothies Near Me - Houston, Texas

I ordered 3 Mexican corn and 3 Troles today. I gave the Troles immediately to my kiddos and saved the corn until I got home. Well when I opened the corn it was a joke. It's supposed to have cheese, Mayo, creama and spices...ha it basically only consisted of corn and a teaspoon of cream, teaspoon of cheese and splash of spices. I paid $15($5 a per cup) for 3 large cups of corn!!! If I wanted plan corn I would've gone to the darn grocery store! I will be calling the franchise tomorrow when we they open!! Im extremely disappointed!!! read more

If I could give this place 0 rating I would we got decent stuff but it's a bit ehh & we got a cookies & cream ice cream but it was awful we barely had any & we politely ask if there was a way we can change the flavor for another or have a refund which the lady refuse & said no. What a way to treat customers :/ I never like leaving bad reviews but this one place I would not again come back read more

This is one of my go to places for elote. I always get the large cup of the yellow corn. They serve a fair amount of queso && chile, it is enough for the entire cup. I personally always need more chile though. When we've asked for extra in the store they have giving us a small amount free of charge. On the last occasion I took a cup to go and when I asked for extra chile I was charged an additional dollar. They do give it to you in those condiment containers but it's not filled all the way. The mangonadas are okay, I've had better. read more

The food is cool but the NASTY attitude these females give is just ridiculous, every time I come here I receive this intolerable behavior and really bad energy. This time I could feel the girls eyes rolling at me when I asked her a question, thats so rude and just incredibly nasty to see. Its just so sad to see my own race being this petty when customer service should be completely the opposite. Oh well I guess ill be taking my business elsewhere. read more

Located in the Value Village off of Gessner Drive in the corner right hand side. They are fairly new so they are working out the kinks. The service is friendly. My boyfriend, friend, and I ordered the following: My corn was watery but the flavor was good. Mexican corn (2.75) small The explosiones is a mangonada mixed with mango chunks. (5.75) 16oz Troles (watermelon ice) 6oz 1.75 My friend says the ice is soft and they aren't shiesty with the ice. Overall, this place is promising! They have a wide variety of options on their menu. Ranging from burgers to different desserts! I'd definitely check them out again and try different things! read more

We were hungry and wanted a quick snack so we dropped in. The interior has plenty of seating, there were quite a few customers inside on a Saturday afternoon. They had had at least 8 employees behind the counter. We ordered a small (20oz) Special Green Juice which ended up costing $6.95. It's really fresh and good, but still a little on the pricey end for a juice. Also got a medium Mexican Corn, for the price, I wouldn't order again. They had the option of white or yellow corn. It was a little bland. I would've given 4 stars, but we waited 20 minutes to get our juice and had remind them of our order. So I deducted a star. read more

Just wanted an ice cream cone .... By 9:00pm the lady said they are closed even though I was already inside ..Awful costumer service! Rude lady. read more

The burrito and sopes taste like dog food wouldn't recommend getting it. There service was ok and the tables are all wabbly and the only thing I would recommend from this place is there I cream and snow cones. read more

Wish I could leave 0 stars bc this place has the WORST customer service. My family and I usually come here a few times a month. I've put up with the staff's rude behavior bc our kid loves coming here. I noticed when I go alone I get treated pretty rudely by the staff compared to when my husband, who is Mexican, is with me. Today was kind of the last straw. They closed their doors at around 8:20 tonight even though their hours online and on the their door says 9PM and their "OPEN" sign was still on!! Such a waste of our time driving all the way over here for nothing. read more

Came here after a workout and ordered a mangonada. I usually go to a different place around the same area for food like this, but I decided to try it out since I've never been. I enjoyed my mangonada and will look forward to come again and try something new. A plus is that the place is spacey and has indoor and outdoor seating (: read more

El Kiosko - Mangonada in the size 10 oz. - Juice Bars & Smoothies Near Me - Houston, Texas

Alrighty, so I'm a HUGE fan of Mexican corn in a cup. This is a new place I found through Yelp and the reviews were pretty decent so I went ahead and decided to try it out. The location was easy enough to find, just on the right side of Value Village on Gessner. The facilities get a 5 - this is the cleanest Mexican snack shop I've ever seen. I ordered a small corn and a mangonada and my total came out to be ~ $9. I felt like the corn lacked flavor. Usually this stuff is an amazing combination with the chile, mayo, and lime, but it just didn't do it justice for me. The mangonada had lots of chunks of mango, but the entire bottom half of the cup was entirely frozen through. All in all, good for convenience sake, but not the best. read more

I purchased 2 cups of corns, I got home to find out I was sold plain corn with barely a tiny bit of mayo/cheese at the top. One bite gone. I paid $9 for literally a cup full of plain corn. If your looking for a good cup of corn (mayo/cheese the works) this is not the place. read more

Everything is good from there and the employees are always nice. They have yellow and white corn for the elote and don't forget to get something refreshing to cool off with! read more

I. LOVE. the ice here. It is so good... I think it's called Troles, but its in these glass cases (like the ones they use to keep icecream)/ So when you go, you order your size. I like to get a larger size like the 32.oz so I can freeze my left overs for later. You get up to 3 flavors. I usually get watermelon and mangonada. My favorite is watermelon. It is sweet and refreshing. The mangonada and anything loco can be a bit overpowering. It is the combination of sweet and salty that just makes your mouth water. I would definitely pair those with a regular flavor. If you like tamarind you should get the tamarind loco but again, pair with a less flavorful flavor. I also tasted the guava before which was pretty good considering that I'm not a fan of guava. My friend and I were spitting out seeds (it was that fresh!). I think the prices are pretty reasonable and they actually serve a wide variety of items on their menu including ice cream, fresh juices, tortas etc. On another note. Once I ordered two half gallons of ice. I felt kinda bad because it took the girls forever to scoop it out of the tubs. They were like using all their strength to pierce the hard ice and every scoop was just a little sliver into our huge half gallon bucket so it took forever. My husband and I were cringing and regretting ordering these huge tubs. We had no idea the girls would have to exert so much time, effort and energy. I noticed though that they didn't pack the ice in like they would if you ordered a smaller size so most of my half gallon was air. I was disappointed, but I didn't want to say anything either because I felt so bad they were breaking their backs to scoop the ice. Apparently, the worse ones to scoop is watermelon (unfortunate since this is the best) while mango and strawberry is easier. We ended up just telling them to give us more mango and strawberry. I hope they can implement a more efficient system, but in the future, I will probably order smaller sizes because I think you get the most value for that. Definitely go yall. This place is so unique and is quite an experience! read more

Very big area . Facial expressions from employees need a little work . They seemed annoyed , but overall great .

Love their mangonada explosion! Perfect on a hot day! It's sour, sweet with a little spicy kick. It does take them a little longer to make the drink. It's typically crowded in here too! 10/8/2017 I just recently tired their fruit salad with chile and lime! I cannot stop thinking about it. read more

This place would probably do better if they accepted credit cards for all of their customers, not just the ones that spend more than 5 dollars. It's 2018 and the majority of people use a card to pay. This is just a trashy way to get people to spend more. I ordered a cup of juice $4.38 and they wouldn't let me use a card. read more

Was greeted with a smile as we walked in, fast serviceAnd incredible customer service. Understood what we were asking for without making us feel stupid. Speaks great English. I would definitely recommend this to anybody looking for any type of Mexican craving. read more

I ordered the Mexican corn, hot Cheetos with cheese and a mangonada. I was really hoping to like this place unfortunately the only item I was pleased with was the hot Cheetos w cheese but how can you go wrong with that. The Mexican corn lacked flavor and had way too much lime. My mangonada was a bigger disappointment. I can understand if they premade and it came frozen but it must have been kept frozen a long time bc I was able to taste and smell the freezer burn. It was a complete waste, went in the trash along with the corn. read more

They cannot customize anything. They give me a really bad attitude when I mention I am allergic to a certain ingredient. I really enjoy this chain but customer service here is not good at all. read more

Went in and tried something new had the chamoyada and for me it was to spicy. I had just took a taste see photos attached. I kindly asked the manager of I could change it and said she couldn't what a bummer. Come from an hr drive to taste and can't change it out. Also horrible service. read more

I wanted Respado today. So thanks to yelp I found this wonderful little gem. Nothing fancy but oh so yummy. I will be back.

Such a neat hole-in-the-wall place you would never think would have delicious treats, but it does. I found the frozen ice to be supper yummy, and though the outside may seem unappealing to many who live in the near upperclass neighborhood, I would recommend they try it out. And best of all, the sweet treats come at fair prices, which is rare in the area. read more

Rotten strawberries everything was good except the strawberries and not only that but the service was good I guess these imbeciles gave rotten strawberries read more

The mangonadas are one of the best I've had in this area so far. I think I've been here at least 3 times a week. They add a lot of chamoy but still taste like mango and hey have a lot of mango chunks. Really good! Would recommend. read more

Delicious. The price was about $17.60 for two explosiones (mangonada with additional cut fruit and candy) and the Mexican corn (large). The Explosiones was a tasty frozen treat (literally, the cut fruit was still icy and maybe in need of a little more time to thaw) but it was still good. The Mexican corn we chose was made with yellow corn but they also offer a white corn option as well. Cheese, Mayo, chili and lime - what's not to love about this elote? Fyi it got really packed in the afternoon around 3pm on a Saturday. We will be back for more! read more

Yes!! This is what we've been waiting for! Proper raspas and Mexican corn, and even more amazing looking options on the menu I can't wait to try!! This hot summer, I'll prob be frequenting here at least a few times a week! El kiosk is here to bring happiness to us all!!! read more
