    Corn on the cob (blanco)

    Corn on the cob was so hard to chew I didn't eat it . The lady was nice and the place looked decent

    Love this place when we are craving some tajin, chimoy with our fruit or snacks. They also have delicious ice cream shakes and elotes! They have indoor seating which is perfect during the summer. Music is always playing they keep the location super clean. Friendly customer service.

    Mangonada, corn in a cup, nachos, the other is chamoyada with pickles

    Great frutería! They have just about everything and anything on the planet in terms of Mexican snacks and if they don't, they definitely got the ingredients to make it! Definitely worth a try!

    Good place, fast service, plenty of selections, they no longer have fried Oreos as their Yelp shows, but not a complete toss out they still offer a lot. I recommend a churro Sunday they're the BEST. The place is nicely decorated, there's music playing, and there's plenty of room to sit and wait or enjoy your treats.

    mangonada, oreo milk shake, elote

    I was craving a mangonada and remembered this place is right down the street from where I live, I stopped in with my boyfriend and right as we came in we were hit with the most delightful smell. This place brings me back to my childhood, my mother used to bring me a fruteria all the time just like this one. My mangonada was so flavorful, and the consistency was amazing! I also tried my first Piccadilly from here! It was delicious, but personally not my thing. The elote from here is pretty basic, but still very delicious. I'm not sure if this is a family owned business but everyone inside seemed to work together very well, and the girl who helped us was very kind! This is a great spot for anyone looking to try out some authentic mexican desserts and sweets.

    Mangonada
    Mei Li H.

    I went here on a whim and I'm so glad I did. I got a small mangonada for $6 and look how big it was!!!! I've had a couple mangonadas around town, but I think this one takes the cake. Cool, refreshing, sweet, sour, and salty. It's a perfect dessert. As you can see, the serving size is huge. It's combined with real mango chunks and has two pieces of mango candy. The building is a little run down and you order from a window to the right of the place. You'll place your order and then they will bring it to the car. The wait time is not long at all. I advice wearing insect repellent before you get out of your car. Anyway, totally worth the price and I will definitely be going here again.

    Elote mexicano, tostilocos preparados, agua de tamarindo
    Gennie F.

    Ambiance was amazing. You walk into a small shop decorated with papel picado- so cute! As we walked in, the employees gave us all the time to be able to look at the menu and decide on what we wanted, granted we were the only people there at the moment. My husband got tostilocos preparados, I got an elote mexicano preparado and we shared an agua de tamarindo. The tostilocos were not as expected. They were full of cheese and had very few chips in the bag. My corn was white corn, which no problem with white corn, but it was not cooked all the way. The corn itself was still hard and didn't have the best flavor. The tamarindo was the only thing that was okay, but it was a bit too sweet.

    Corn in a Cup, Guava Raspa, and Fresa Raspa with Lechera
    Maria R.

    Everything was amazing and I can't wait to go back to try other things. I had the strawberry raspa with lechera, I hadn't found a raspa that reminded me of my hometown until now, they even add fresh strawberries on top, I loved it. My husband had the Guava raspa which apparently won an award, I understand why, it was also really good and with fresh fruit as well. We both ordered corn on a cup, I asked for nacho cheese on mine as well, so good!! They had yellow or white corn which I loved because I usually just find yellow corn. Can't wait to go back for another raspa and another yummy snack!

    Rusa
    Jessica A.

    Rusa was very good! Cucumbers were pretty good. The only thing was that everything had too much chamoy and it burned my chest a bit. Place was clean. Would definitely come back.

    Tostitos preparados
    Esther J.

    This is a hidden gem that I would love to snack at everyday! They have something for everybody. I didn't like the raspa natural but everything else I have tried is great. My favorite part about this place is that they have the authentic white Mexican corn! Y'all should definitely give this place a try if you love Mexican snacks

    Mangonada, corn in cup, and mango Fresca was amazing!! Pretty reasonable in price and was very generous!

This shop sells fudge, truffles, candied apples, and - what I came for - ice cream! They had a lot of ice cream flavors to choose from, a least a couple dozen. The smiling young woman working behind the ice cream counter offered to give tastes, but I had already figured out which flavors I wanted. I chose two scoops in a cup, one of Cappucino Chip and the other Turtle Cheesecake. They have several tables to sit at, some along a hallway and more in a back room. I took a seat and was in awe of the huge scoops given. The Cappuccino Chip had a mild flavor (I prefer it stronger) but a fair number of tiny chocolate chips. The Turtle Cheesecake had an excellent cheesecake flavor with swirls of caramel, praline pecans, and caramel-filled mini turtles. I'm usually not fond of nuts in my ice cream but I actually enjoyed the pralines. In my humble opinion, there were too few turtles. But I still loved it. If you're in the mood for a cold, creamy treat while visiting the Alamo, you'll find this to be the perfect place to visit.

The real issue came at the cash register. The woman handling payments was, unfortunately, not kind at all. In fact, "rude" would be the most generous description. It actually took my wife about ten minutes just to complete the payment for a couple of ice creams, which felt longer than the ice cream itself took to melt. What made it even more uncomfortable was watching how she interacted with other employees. It wasn't just unprofessional--it was the kind of scene you'd expect in a low-budget psychological thriller where you start wondering if someone should call for backup. So while the ice cream itself and the front-line staff were great, the overall experience was overshadowed by the atmosphere at the register. Small, crowded, and unkind is not a combination that brings us back. We'll pass next time.
