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

    Rex C.

    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

    a bowl of fruit and oatmeal

    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.

    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.

    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!

    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.

    Mangonada explosion is awesome!!!! Huge chunks of fresh mango, tamarind, Lucas, chamoyada, and mango sorbet. This is an intense drink. Very unique

    No shame in my game

    We came in because I saw online that they were having a free smoothie day in February and came in…read moreat that time. I had called before heading out to make sure they were still doing it, and they said that they were. By the time we got there, they said that they were not doing it anymore, and they ran out of all the supplies. I even told them that I had called before leaving my house and they said that they just ran out. I would have appreciated if they would have checked how much supplies they had before telling people to come up for the smoothies. My family and I drove up there. Multiple people came in after us looking for the free item and turned around and walked away when they did not get it. However, we thought we already drove up there, so we decided to support them. I'm not trying to give a bad review because I did not receive a free smoothie. We bought smoothies for the family so the trip wasn't wasted. My son is a huge mango lover, and that's the one he got and he did not like it at all, although I did not think it was bad. It wasn't sweet and didn't taste like mango. But I digress. One of my daughters got the matcha and we literally all tried it and had to throw it away because no one in our family liked it. I got the spirulina one and I liked the color, but it's not something I would particularly go out and get. Overall, I feel like I'm being very relaxed with my review because it ended up being a nice little family outing. But the final straw for us was the bathrooms. The bathroom was not clean and I had to clean the toilet before allowing my child to use it. We saw a man and woman bringing in supplies while we were there, but it got late and we had to go. I'm not sure if they would have even honored making the free drinks at that point anyways, but at this point everyone in our family tried them and did not like it. Free drinks are not why I am disappointed, but more so that that the bathroom was not clean and it smelled weird in there and no one liked their smoothie in our family. I hope they can make it nicer and not close down because it looks like it's a nice establishment in Vintage Park, but they just have to work on cleanliness and having actually good drinks.

The website is nice and the flavor options are fun, but the flavors and textures never hit quite right for me. My most recent pick-up experience was especially disappointing. I placed an order on the website over 30 minutes ahead of my arrival so that I could pick up a smoothie and make it to work on time. I set the pick-up time to 9:10am so that it would definitely be ready by the time I arrived. When I walked in at 9:15am, the employee hadn't even started on my order yet... and ultimately, I didn't walk out of the store until **9:28** am with my smoothie, and I needed to be at work at 9:30am. The employee herself was completely polite, but didn't acknowledge the fact that the smoothie was being made late. I understand life happens, but for an order made over 30 minutes in advance on the website, the store didn't seem busy enough to justify how late my order came out. My actual smoothie's texture was just too thick and the flavor felt muted, like the fruit in it needed more ripening. I did like it more after it had sat out for an hour or two and melted a bit, but due to my overall experience, I could not justify the steep price point. I see now that reviews here are pretty mixed. I'm glad some people love this place, but it's just not for me.

I got a regular half strawberry and watermelon with ice cream only no crème on top and gummy bears. The person inside made that one first so it sad and just started melting inside immediately. When she handed it to me, it was leaking and spilling out of the cup. There was cream on top. It spilled all over my cup holder. I wanted to ask for a new one but I was over waiting at that point.
