Great experience. Super atmosphere. Self-order kiosk at the end of the counter, and an awesome selection of churro desserts. Freshest churros I've ever had. Light, fluffy, crispy on the outside. Will be back again! read more

Holy moly sweet tooth satisfied! So good, great options. Friendly staff, some not as helpful but overall good. So many to choose from, all the different combinations, can't wait to keep trying more. Parking lot is a bit confusing, there is street parking too. Plenty of space to sit down and eat there and outside. Fairly clean bathrooms. Will be back to try more flavors. Great way to mix churros and ice cream and sugar. Happy eating! read more

I loved this place! First time my bf and I went here, we just moved to appleton looking for something sweet after our dinner date night. They were the only place open a little later (thank you for that). Seems like a small business, and I am all for supporting the latinx community! So kind, informative, and welcoming.....

Such a cute shop that seems to be a neighborhood staple. The staff was so friendly and helped guid us to delicious decisions. They offer samples of their ice cream to ensure you are picking one you will enjoy. The churro bars are similar to sundays/blizzards and come with warm gooey churros in them. These churros were so yummy and definitely are what set this ice cream treat apart from going else where. Check their hours online before stopping in as I have tried to pop in before on a week night and they were closed. Definitely will be back as the atmosphere and food were top notch read more

Frio Mexican Treats is an authentic Mexican desert, coffee, shake, and snack shop. It is a very cute and cozy place to visit to grab a snack or sip on some delicious coffee. The kids will love coming here (great childhood memories). It has a small and pleasant Mexico getaway vibe. The customer service is outstanding as you feel like you're visiting family and/or friends. Asides from the food, the atmosphere is great. We can't wait to visit again. read more

Came for a late night craving and so happy this place is open til 9 on a Sunday, so rare and I appreciate it! The menu had lots of good appetizer like foods on the menu and they were intriguing, like Mexican street corn cups and all that. But, my mission was ice cream. The whole place smelt like churros so I had to get an order of churros on the side, they were great! Crispy and warm. As far as ice cream they had a bunch of flavors, some more different than others but definitely a variety. The staff at the counter let me try a few and they were all good, the stand outs were the avocado, baileys and the flavor of the month banana. I picked the banana, it tasted like there were caramel swirls in there too. Very good. There was lots of inside seating and the decor was cute. Small parking lot in back. Staff is great, super friendly and happy to explain anything to you about their stuff! I can tell they're proud of what they're making over there. read more

Great treates (5 stars) but no organization (1 star)! We stopped in recently with our whole family. The pros included: a great selection of tasty treats, sundays, churros, homemade ice cream, other types of sides Including Mexican corn. We all tried a variety of ice cream desserts and enjoyed the quality of everything. It's a fun place and nice addition to local Appleton businesses! It's a huge inside, there's plenty of seating and they have nice tables outside for enjoying your tasty treat in the summer. ---------------------- Cons- there is no flow! Tiny area for ordering! The menu board is not in a good area for viewing from the ice cream station. Once you are ready to order you have to step out of the corner and try to find the end of the other line to the register. There were so many people jammed, no one knew where the line ended and people were cutting in front of each other!! The owner needs to hire more staff, It took us about 30 minutes to receive our ice cream. We counted 1 girl at register and 2 behind counter. They were very nice but unfortunately very slow. The whole place was backed up. I'm so happy for this new local business but since the owners know they are swamped they need to hire more staff to service the clientele. We as a family look forward to going back and trying more items on their menu... But we are going to wait a few months until the newness wears off... and its not so busy. We simply do not wish to wait 30 minutes for a dessert we can simply make at home in a couple of minutes. Congrats to the owners! read more

What a fun place! Sweet treats and street eats that are unique and something you have to check out for yourself in person to really enjoy. For savory, my friend and I tried the carne seca - Mexican style jerky on top of potato chips drizzled with a tangy sauce. And dorilocos - Doritos (can do half Doritos and hot Cheetos which I did) mixed with corn, pickled jalapeños, creamy cheese goodness. For sweet, we had avocado ice cream - incredibly creamy and delicious. And fried ice cream from the churro bar - life.changing. It was vanilla ice cream, with corn flakes and a couple of churros and guys.that was the best churro I've ever had. *drool* I really like that there are sweet and savory options. I recommend you check out the online menu. friowisconsin.com/menu There's a list of the menu in the store and the owner was accommodating to answer our questions about it. I liked seeing what each item was online. There are SO MANY options that one trip will not do! Try something different. And support local! read more
