EXPLOSION!!!
Erica G.

This place is awesome!!! Right down the street and around the corner. I had a craving for a mangonada.. and I definitely got one!! I decided to go a notch up and I ordered the EXPLOSION. It was super delicious!!! I couldn't tell you how much I enjoyed it.. you would have to see my face and see how I was glowing. Definitely coming back and trying the chamoyada next!!

Explosion de limon

They had messed up my order and wouldn't correct their mistake even though i was already there so I had to get reimbursed through uber eats( even though it wasn't a mistake made by uber eats). Then they drench my explosion with chamoy sauce claiming its just on the edge of the cup but it's way too much and tried to get a new one but they kept being complicated and didn't corrected because they had already made it.my explosion as you can see in the picture does not look like it's limon with all the chamoy sauce lol I love el kiosko and have been a loyal customer but If yall do not want to deal with stupidity and unfairness DO NOT GO TO THIS LOCATION. Not worth it. Very disappointed.

A nice little place for a cold bite. I originally came here to purchase a mangonada but they had the explosion instead. Little that I knew, it was more of a sorbet of some kind. Fresh mango to top it off and spicy chamoy, I enjoyed the flavors of the explosion. The candy was a little much for me, but it went well with the item. I also purchased the yellow elote, a bit too sour for me, but I'm just picky, I know my other friends eat it this way. Nice owners and clean establishment.

Mangonada Explosion! One of the best mango desserts I've ever had!
Stephanie C.

I tried my first mangonada here and realized I've been missing out all my life. If you love mangos, you need to give this a try! I split the Explosion with a friend, which was a good idea since it can probably happily feed 3. This mangonada sundae of sorts lives up to its name since it's a total flavor bomb - sweet mango sorbet and fresh mango chunks, sour and salty chamoy sauce, and a touch of heat from chili powder. It's also topped with strings of "salsaghetti", a Mexican candy that's akin to a more savory Sour Punch Straw, a tamarind paste coated straw, and a packet of Lucas candy syrup. While all the crazy toppings appealed to my inner child, the intense flavors may take a more adult palate to appreciate if you didn't grow up eating these. The salty-sour-spicy-sweet combo is definitely acquired taste, but I loved it. The chamoy and chile actually enhanced the cool, refreshing sweetness of the mango and kept me coming back for more, scoop after scoop. We also shared a cup of Mexican corn, which was just okay. It's not on the cob as we expected but rather canned corn topped with chile, mayo, and cheese. It was still very tasty if a little soggy. In addition to mangonadas and corn, El Kiosko's offerings are extensive. The sorbet in the Explosion was super delicious and clearly made with real fruit, so I can't wait to try their other flavors. This place is a must-try!

Service was great, and the shake I had was delicious. Being that the ice cream is made from real ice cream, it made for a wonderful shake.

Coco's is located in Midtown downtown Houston. Consequently, Yelpers should not be surprised the…read moreparking is mostly in paid lots, just like in every major city in the US--Cocos does not deserve to lose a star for this as in some reviews that brought down their average. You may order online, in shop through a tablet, or with a person at the register. We used the register because we did not see the tablet and did not want to order ahead online. The ladies who helped us on our visit were very nice. You get a number and they call it when your made to order food is ready. We did not have to wait long. There was medium to low noisy ambiance. It was deserted when we arrived, but they have relatively loud background music. While we were eating it got pretty crowded. Mostly a lot of young people in the middle of the day on a Monday. The inside is small, seating both inside and outside are limited and close together. One lady was studying with her laptop, but there are no plugs. The breakfast sandwich is customizable. We got it on a croissant and with sausage. The eggs had a unique texture and the sandwich a unique flavor that we could not place, but both were very tasty. We also wanted a crepe, but we split the sandwich and it was sufficient. We also got a small mocha and a decaf, both were ok to good. We would definitely come back again and recommend that you give them a try for a crepe or sandwich. It is sad that a few Yelpers brought down their average to 3.8 stars due to petty and unjustified complaints such as having to pay for parking downtown. Other complaints are not the business' fault such as periodic homelessness--it is a downtown area in the US, other cities have far worse homelessness than Midtown Houston and we saw none on this visit. Additionally, complaints about takeout orders are mostly petty. Takeout is never as good as eating at the restaurant and so customers should adjust their expectations rather than dock the business stars. Nearly every recent Yelp review for this who ate at the restaurant gave 4-5 stars for food quality and customer service. Like most of the restaurants in this area it is a pretentious yuppy style place with specialized food. Although not usually our type of place (we like down to earth hole in the wall places with good food or taco truck type restaurants), Coco's is a solid 4 star restaurant for the type of place they are and they offered a 5 star experience on our visit. Again, recommend you give them a try if you are in the mood for crepes or sandwiches.

New to the area and this was my first experience!! Food was delicious and service was great…read more Seating both inside and out but keep in mind it's a small environment. I had the smoked salmon panini and the peach lemonade both so good! I can't wait to go back and try the crepes
