    the front of a restaurant

    Got a banana milkshake and it was delicious. Didn't try anything else but recommend you try!

    Go see Kenia! Makes amazing juices. All fresh fruit & veggies! They make all kinds of goodies!!

    I have to give 5 stars because everything is really fresh here! The people here are really nice too. After eating some really unhealthy greasy ass jets pizza I had to get some green juice to counter act that lol. I got their "special green juice" really good! 7.00 and some change. I can make this at home with my vitamix for a lot cheaper but sometimes you just don't feel like doing it so you have to pay a premium. The special green juice is really good and really fresh! I've also had their trules. Which is like a snow cone or shaved ice. Really good! They also have nachos with jalapeños. Great fruit Bowls with the Mexican chili. Lots of good fresh fruit to be had here. Do yourself a favor and stop in. You will not be disappointed. Also some days they can get really packed so be prepared to wait a few minutes.

    Explosión + vanilla, Oreo & chocolate ice cream.... delicious

    Great quality and friendly service!!! Excellent flavor! It's Sunday so it took a little time to get it, but totally worth it

    I asked the lady, who was nice by the way, that took my order which fruit salad had cottage cheese she said #14. It has everything she mentioned except the cottage cheese what I really wanted with my fruit. Been here a couple of times, the service has always been good. Tried calling the phone number online but it seems like they answer & hang up. After a couple of calls it sounds disconnected. Not sure what's going on with that but I'd really like to get my fruit replaced. With all the ingredients that it comes with.

    Guava and piña colada

    It's always busy, especially on the weekends. I've never tried the actual food, but I always get a different flavor of troles so I can try a little bit each time. They also let you sample some flavors, and all the employees are very nice. They speak mostly Spanish, but they'll understand what you want :). It takes a little while for your order to come out if it's not busy. We waited 30 minutes for our orders on a busy day. But since it's so cheap, it's totally worth the wait! And it doesn't melt as fast as ice cream does. You can also put two flavors in one cup. By the way, the blue trole is vanilla flavor!

    Sitting area

    Walked in an hour before closing and the 3 girls working spoke in Spanish chatting amongst themselves for several minutes without a single hello to me and my daughters. I finally said hello and she asked if I was ready. Yes we are. Is that going to be okay to pull you away from your conversation for a moment? I've cream was gritty and even chocolate had a weird taste to it. It was a bummer since we had a place just like this we would go to all the time before we moved to Texas. I'm sure there's other good ones but I definitely wouldn't come back here.

    I went here recently with my family and we had a great experience! The customer service here was amazing and everyone was friendly. We got nachos, a fruit bowl with lime and chili, and a coconut/pineapple shaved ice cup! For the shaved ice I would recommend going with a small cup because it really is a lot. Everything tasted great and when the employee accidentally made me a mango/pineapple shaved ice cup she apologized and remade it for me. I would definitely recommend you check this place out! Update: I just saw a review that reminded me of how the employee at the cash register yelled at a group of us to get in a line. She said "Everybody get in a line! Don't crowd around the door!!" I wasn't too upset because it was a huge group of us but if it was just my family and I, I would've been really upset and not eaten there. I don't know why she gets so upset about the lines. If it's such a big deal say it calmly.

    Wooowwww so deelish!

    I'm glad I stopped by and tried this place it is a super great spot with lots of great snacks if you don't know what something is they explain to you exactly what it is and your choices and how you can play around with different items great way to stick to clean eating! It's like a mini concession stand lol

    Coconut shaved ice. Just like the beach vendors in PR
    Danielle R.

    Prices are reasonable. And portions are generous. The shaved ice creams brought me back to PR with the cart vendors on the beach. Loved it. There's so many choices and flavors and they even have food. This place has it all and the place is packed which shows how much it's well loved. This definitely took me back down memory lane and hit the spot tonight.

    If you're looking for a fruit cup (really served in a bowl) come here. This place is like your typical raspa stand, but I was pleasantly surprised to see that they sold tortas and other types of entrees as well. They have a big selection and you can also build your own fruit cup. I would have given them five stars but the grapes in my fruit cup weren't that fresh (and grapes stay firm for a while) and they were a literal pricy with the fruit. I did love the Chile powder as well!! I will definitely come back, I missed going to a place like this.

    A delicious menu.

    El Kiosko Frutas Y Helados What a refreshing treat! If you guys like that salt and chili flavor, do try it with shaved ice. What you get is a cup of shaved ice with the Mexican Tamarind Candy paste/syrup inserted in the middle. Gives each spoonful a great "what the heck... but I liked" feeling. Yep! My friends and I found a new sweet spot! We shall be back.

The restaurant is pretty large with a mix of warm lighting and natural light depending on where you're sitting. It seems as though they may be renovating in certain spots of the restaurant the time we visited. Our waiter Dave was friendly, attentive, informative, and efficient. The complimentary chips and salsa were good. We took advantage of their happy hour for drinks. We each had a Cadillac margarita which was pretty good. My friend and I chose the Marisco bowl. I chose the meat combo of chicken/steak and she chose the chicken Marisco bowl. My other friend had the chicken quesadillas. The food was fresh, but in my opinion lacked flavor. I loved the prices of Gringos, but did not like my dish as much. My friends enjoyed their meals. As the night went on the restaurant became full. They have complimentary ice cream and cones for dessert that patrons get themselves. When we attempted to partake, the cones were gone and the station was messy from patrons not cleaning up after themselves. I would return to this location again and try a different dish. I would also recommend this business to others for decent happy hour drinks and food.

To be fair, it is my own fault because I tried El Mariachi a year or two ago and thought it was gross then. However, I know everywhere deserves a second chance so I thought I'd give it another try, especially when I saw it had such a high average rating. Let me first say, service is INCREDIBLE. Truly could not ask for better. The hostess was really sweet and she stayed kind even when I could tell she was overwhelmed by all the people. We had multiple servers come by to check on us at various times and do things for us and they were all great too. Absolutely 0 staff complaints. I ordered a watermelon margarita and couldn't drink it. The syrup was completely separated from the actual drink. I left it completely full and while I didn't want to complain, I was surprised that I wasn't asked if it was okay. Had I been asked, I would've told them. My husband thought his house margarita was good, but he did order it frozen and it was already half liquid by the time he got it. The food was not good. I took one bite of my beef taco and pushed it to the side. It was essentially Taco Bell meat. No shade to Taco Bell, but if I wanted that, I would've just gone to T Bell. It sure would've been a lot cheaper. My cheese enchiladas were also not good. I asked to have sour cream sauce on top & was charged $2 for it. I wasn't told I'd be charged extra and didn't see anywhere on the menu where it said that. Even so, $2 for sauce is crazy, but $2 for sauce when the enchilada ALREADY comes with sauce on top and all you had to do was replace it?? Wild. The queso was okay. Not amazing, not bad. It's the only thing I was able to eat. Not my personal experience, but two tables in our same section had issues with their food too and had to send it back. $85 for that is crazy. I'm glad so many seem to enjoy it, but El Mariachi will never see me again.

TLDR: Thar food, those ritas. This place has become my most recent go-to when that little voice says - "pssst....Dave....Dave....i know you hear me....you want fajitas." Admittedly, I hear that voice a lot. In any case, I usually order the fajitas. They give you a decent quantity that tastes great. The meet is tender and flavorful and those tortillas had me at hello. I love this stuff! My son elects to go for the cheese enchiladas. I don't have to ask him how much he likes them because is a super picky eater and this is the one place where he actually cleans his plate. The margaritas are solid as well and when you glance around the restaurant, you'll see them on most tables. This place is a well oiled machine. There are plenty of staff and they all work unison to bring drinks / chips / salsa / refills / orders / food -- and that food usually comes out before I can feel guilty for eating chips, salsa, and queso. I found this trick that works for me. Since I 100% of the time feel guilty for leaving the place feeling so full, I started parking on the other end of the parking lot. This allows my to burn off 2.7 calories of the food that just ate so I feel 2.7 percent less guilty. On a serious note - this place is the real deal. While some of my previous favorites have either closed down or gone downhill a bit - Julio's has remained strong. ¡Salud!
