Despite everything being good, it is ridiculous to wait 25 minutes for 2 Raspas and 1 elotes when the place is relatively empty. The food itself is pretty good and I'd really recommend especially with price but the wait is wayyyyy too long read more

Wow the pupusa was amazing! I didn't expect it to be so good. I should have gotten 3 for 6-7$. I stopped here by accident trying to go to another mango spot and I don't regret it. I had one pupusa and a fruit cup with the works. AMAZING! read more

I love this place. I went for the first time yesterday and the mangonada was so yummy.

I had the elote, my son had a churro, husband had a mangonada. All was delicious. Will def go back.

my favorite refresqueria!! i've been coming here for years since they just had the window. Now they have a sitting area next door to the window. It's always been delicious. The fruit has always been fresh and prices have always been reasonable. They make a lot of shakes and shaved ice, but i mainly like their fruit like the biónico or fresas con crema. Their pupusas are definitely made by mexicans as u can tell by the salsa verde but they're good as hell. and the salsa is good as hell too. Service is always fast and friendly, i've seen the same employees for years. They have games on the tables nowadays, so it's a cute little family place. i do hate that they keep it freezing cold sometimes read more

My daughter wanted raspas and this place happened to be on the way. So you don't go in here. You order at the window on the left and pick up on the right. They actually brought my tray out to me though. I ordered elote en vaso, a mangonada, and a raspa, all smalls. I ordered in Spanish, but I'm pretty sure English would've worked too, for anyone concerned. The elote wasn't spicy. I like it spicy, so I'm wondering if I should've requested it as such or they just don't serve it like that. Either way, wasn't bad. The mangonada was very good. It had chunks of fresh mango swirled with blended mango and chamoy, topped with a few pieces of candy, just the right amount of chile. 11/10, definitely getting again. My daughter liked the raspa too. She got half pineapple, half strawberry. She was happy it came garnished with the piece of candy. Nice touch. read more

3 stars only because I was disappointed by what I had. I had the cantaloupe juice and it was more watery than anything. Presentation was great and the first sip was great but I think I may have sucked all the flavor out. However, their chocolate covered banana was great and so were their churros. Their churros were fresh and weren't too sweet. Overall I will return and update this review when I try something new. read more

Cute little Mexican snack place that we found driving around. We pulled on the door thinking it would open, but it's shut closed. We later found out that you order through the sliding window....you can also grab their attention by pressing on the door bell which is located above the window. Needless to say, there isn't a public restroom. They accept credit cards, which is convenient when you aren't one who carries cash around. There are also a couple of tables and chairs located outside of the business for you to sit and enjoy your treats. We purchased 3 different items. One of them was the nachos but they didn't taste all that great.... the cheese sauce didn't taste anything like cheese. Our mangonadas and the rusa were pretty good though. The only bad thing I can say about our experience here is that they would not honor the $5 off $25 coupon that automatically popped up on Yelp when I checked in. The cashier said it was "over a year old" and said they wouldn't honor it even though it was still active. read more

Sitting here eating my food. I just have to say I've tried multiple items on their menu and everything I've tried so far is a 10/10! Five star recommend!! Don't forget to order an agua Fresca de limon con pepino! read more

What a disappointment. My flautas were over cooked and falling apart. The torta was soggy and had pico in it which was weird. Hardly any meat. There was plenty of people who kept coming back so they could correct this or that. Cashier did not have a mask on. This place was just a complete bad experience. I would never recommend anyone here! read more

I came here with a friend earlier today for a piña preparada. I was so used to driving all the way out to Barker Cypress & Clay to Don Peguino snacks for a similar drink. This saves me so much driving time and the preparada was absolutely amazing! We were able to sit out on a patio under umbrellas and enjoy this exotic drink. It made me feel like I was vacationing somewhere tropical. This is not the place to go if you're in a hurry. The drinks take a while to prepare due to coring out pineapples by hand and what not. But overall, this is a definite go-to, and I will be back in no time! read more

I usually go to the refresqueria across the street (Mango Island) but noticed this place and decided to give it a try. The corn in the cup was ok. Wish it was a little more spicy. Chamoyada was good but wish it was a little more spicy as well. It also only comes in one size which I wasn't able to finish. Have yet to try the other stuff on their menu. They do take credit cards with $5 minimum and they have a parking lot. Came back to try the mangonada. Forgot to take a photo but it was pretty delicious and had big chunks of frozen mango which you rarely get at other places. It cost $5. And a perk is this place is opened I think til 10pm or later for those that want an evening snack. They also have a few tables out front. read more

The crazy apples...omg! They are sooo good. They come with pieces of fresh fruit too which makes it more like a fruit salad. I was pleasantly surprised. Plenty delicious. I also ordered fresas con crema and a large leche/mango shaved ice. Lots of cream on the berries but they were fresh and tasty. Shaved ice had chunks of mango topped with lechera and it was delicious.I used the spend 20 and get 5 off coupon. (Show it before you order) customer service was good. The ladies were very nice. I was happy with my snacks and will definitely go back to try their gorditas! read more

Loved my piña colada snow ball it was delicious!! I went during the week at lunch it was very quiet no one in line. I asked would my selections look like the picture and she said yes. It did. I ordered the pickledilly, piña colada snow ball, and two tacos the piña colada did it for me it was soooo good!!! read more

i got a whole stomach virus and i ate the pickledilly the next day i felt so sick my stomach was hurting so bad i do not recommend, please dont come over here go to another place unless u want a damn stomach virus read more

Points for presentation but the aguas frescas were disappointing. Tastes like it came from a bag and they just added melon pulp to make it "fresh". Also, not enough ice and expensive for the small cups they give you. read more

Ring the doorbell at the window on the top right... Spanish speaking highly recommended. If you have questions, good luck for non-Spanish speakers. On the other hand, the mangonada and mango loko is very delicious!!!!! Great spot for dessert on a lovely sunny day! read more

Would stop again 10/10 when I'm in the area. Quick, cheap, and delicious. They are pretty fast & have a 2 tables outside to sit and eat or you can eat in your car in the parking lot ‍ read more

I guess I shouldn't be surprised that the credit card machine was not working when we got there but I feel like they did take my order and I got it rather quickly. I went around 4pm and it wasn't busy so that's probably why. I got a mangonada and a candy raspa the mangonada was pretty good but obviously if you've had authentic mangonadas (Im Mexican) from Mexico for example, the differences are obvious. I feel like they didn't have as much actual mango as they should have and the ice part was over the top sweetened. Most people wouldn't really complain about that tho. Regardless I prob may go back in the future, I want to try all the other fruta places on this side of town though and see if I can find me a favorite and go-to spot. read more

Okay I saw this place on Yelp and I just had to try it out. It was a bit hard to find at first, but finally found it. Like most of the reviews, the parking is limited and jammed pack.. But it's so worth it, I got the corn in cup with all the fixings and a mango snow cone with chile(not sure what the correct name is) and both were delicious!!! The people who work there is so friendly and patient, they knew it was my first time, so I showed them pictures from yelp to place my order Lol.. I know I'm lame, but I got exactly what I wanted and it even tasted better than it looked. Thanks Yelp for recommending this place to me. read more

Don't go if you don't know Spanish. I love this type of food but they refuse to serve you if you don't know how to say it right. They say "sorry were closing" at 6pm when it says they close at 10 read more

This is one of the best spots I been to that has mangonadas, etc... The customer service is AWESOME! Their food is very delicious. The boy up front is very polite and well-mannered. This is my second time here and I will keep coming back! read more

Please be careful with what you order here. I went there last night and bought a smoothie and a banana split. Both items were delicious when I was eating them, but after I got home, I started to feel a little sick and nauseous. I thought it was just my body telling me I had too much sugar but i got to the point i wanted to throw up while i was trying to fall asleep. In my vomit I saw a dead roach which was so disgusting to know I had eaten that! That explained why I was feeling sick and nauseous. read more

Was expecting it to be a little better. Compared to the pictures online but anyhow still great overall!

Service was a little slow, but everything was worth the wait. So if you're not in a hurry. Check this place out! read more

This place is delicious! Parking is limited only a few tables out side but there snacks are so good! I love the natural coconut snow cone they put the coconut pulp in there definitely one of the best spots I've been to. Totally recommend this place! read more

Best mangonata in Springbranch! Their tamarin candy is delish and the mango slushy is not watered down like some other places.

I have tried other places around the area, and all of them are very alike, I pass this one everyday and gave this one finally a chance, but I'm giving it one star because while it really wasn't packed even though it might like look it because of all the cars but considering its a shopping mall in reality only me and 2 other customers were there, I ordered the Mangonada and Chicharron, prices are cheaper than other places I've been to but quality eh.. not so much so there's that... And to make it all worse the customer service is lacking badly too, I felt I was annoying the person at the window and taking her time away, just like mine was wasted for this unworthy product... Around 15 minutes for those 2 things, nonetheless I am never coming back and sad to say my recommendations are not going towards this place. Edit: Response to owner or whatever, waiting for hours mean they took my order and then took them forever to give me my order, guess what? Just so you don't feel bad, I've been to all refresquerias around Gessner even the new one that just open before Hammerley, 30 minutes for a corn? Seriously what's up with that. I prefer the ones on Katy. read more

This is the worst place I've ever eaten at the worst service they're disgusting and unsanitary. extremely rude I would never spend another dollar here or ever recommend anyone to this place they lost a client a loyal client I've been coming here for years and and the employees are always in a bad mood. read more

The food was bad! The strawberries on my banana split were gone bad! And the cherries were rotten. The mango raspado was bad too. The mango they used was also gone bad. There should be more people in the kitchen to help out with the orders and keep up with the food. read more

The worst raspa Ive ever had!! The lemon raspa is awful. Too many layers. Onions have layers, not raspas.

This is the Real Deal!!!! They do have the REAL MANGONADA! mango and more mango! if you want a raspa with mango flavor they have it too, named the mango twist! but i was looking for the Real deal and i got it! Great selection, real natural snowcones! and las piñas...wowwww, las preparadas will blow your mind away! lots of fresh fruits, and they have tacos and tortas too, awesome service, lot's of parking and take cc that is a plus! we visit this place every weekend! almost Really! you can sit in the patio with umbrellas listen to modern music...Like if you are on Vacation!... WE LOVE EL MANGO LOKO...... read more

Best mangonada in the area, pretty decent size and a fair price also. Very busy on weekends so if you go,you probably wait 20 mins to get your order but it's worth the wait. The place is obviously understaffed but they do the best they can. read more

I've been here several times and I'm always satisfied. There's usually a bit of a wait, but you have to take in consideration that it is a popular, tiny establishment with very limited staff. They are very generous with their servings and everything is also made fresh and from scratch, which I think makes it well worth the wait. Like I said it's tiny, kind of like a pull up concept with one window to order from and a couple tables and chairs to wait at. I just come for the tasty treats so I would highly recommend any day! read more
