Time to empty out your change jar because this place is cash only and I can never seem to get enough snacks! This is your typical hole in the wall raspa spot and it's at the top of my list when I need a pick me up! The parking is limited and hard to identify if you have never been. This is mostly a to go type place but they do have a picnic table or two you can sit at outside. Grab a mangonada or coconut raspa, you won't be disappointed! read more

Just what I needed to feel refreshed in this Houston heat!! I am glad I finally stopped by House of Mango to see what they had to offer. We tried the Rusa, it was good maybe a little too citrusy for my personal taste. But for me the winner was the CHAMORUSSA!! It has Mango, Strawberry, Chamoy, lucas, squrit, & Salsaqueti. My tastebuds were going crazy in the best possible way, in between the fresh taste of fruit and sparks of spice all mixed in the liquid. I was initially most excited to try their elote, but that was a bit of a let down. It did not have enough heat, which is surprising considering their menu. read more

I have no idea what people are raving about. I feel cheated. People should be warned that the "mangonada" HERE is just ice blended with barely any mango. There were barely any mango flavor in it. I've eaten many mangonada and I can tell you I won't be coming back here for that. I've had mangonada in Dallas and there's this one place that was legit and so good! Too bad I can't say the same for here. I'm still going on a hunt for the real deal in Houston. Anyone know a better place feel free to hit me up :) read more

I have been craving a mangonada ever since I saw a picture on Yelp. Mango Island is in Spring Branch (a bit of a drive from my part of town) so I was super excited when I was in the area for an errand. There's limited parking, but that's ok because the service is quick. There's no seating area, you place your order at the window and eat it in the car. I decided to get their best seller, the mangonada. Everything comes in 3 sizes, small, medium, and large. It was awesome. Mango flavor shaved ice topped with mango puree and Lucas. It's the perfect blend of sweet, salty, sour, and spicy. My only complaint is that I wish it has chunks of real mango in it. Maybe I can special order that next time. They also sell snacks such as nachos and elote. Gotta try the elote next time! If you're ever in the area, stop buy Mango Island and give it a try! It's cash only! read more

Mangonada! Mangonada! Mangonada! I just can't have enough of the mangonada. What is this you say? It's a snoball/snowcone with the mango and citrus flavor and spicy sprinkles of spicy power with a stick of spicy tamarind (see the pictures). It combines all of tastes of tart, sour, sweet and spicy in each bite. If you enjoy Lucas (Mexican sour candy), then you'll love this. I haven't tried the other flavors and I probably won't because I'm addicted to this mangonada! Just thinking about this place makes me salivate! It's located in the spring branch area. It looks like a storefront built on a side of a house. The people working there are very nice and polite. The service is quick. This place only takes cash! So come enjoy the mangonada!

Snow cones are a blessing on a hot summer Houston day!! Found this place on yelp after getting out if the pool... Pictures of the mangonada made is go here. We ordered a mangonada, mango bomb (same thing as a mangonada with more chili powder), lemon lime snow cone, horchata snow cone, limon raspa (natural), and a chili cheese hot Cheetos. Snow comes are great... Not shaved ice but it's got nice texture! Flavors are also really good! No complaints here. Chili cheese hot Cheetos were good snack food... Pretty spicy. Easy to miss so when you see the smiling mango slow down!!! Parking is limited and beware of people walking around! Bring cash they only accept cash!! read more

I found this place through a friend and she is now to blame for my addiction. This was absolutely fantastic. The parking is at a house and it's kinda small, but it's pretty quick so you're ordering/pick up time is within 10 minutes. But eating and driving? Don't do it guys. The mangonada was delicious! I ate off my boyfriend because I had no idea they had pieces of mangos in there. I personally ordered the chamoyada and it was addicting... until I got toward the bottom and it became SO SALTY, whoooooooo my lips was dying, but no worries, I eventually mixed the mangonada and chamoyada and it was a good blend hehe. The mango cocktail (?) was so good, I love mangos.. I wish I lived near mango island. read more

I'm a sucker for lucas and Mexican flavored candy. This is all of that combined into a sno cone. I think they recently underwent new management or so since the pricing has changed a bit and they've gone a little conservative on the amount of chamoy sauce they pour into the cone. Still delicious either way and a must for Houston summers read more

Love the lady who works the counter. She's always smiley and friendly. My boyfriend's friend recommended this place to us over a year ago and we've been loyal customers since then. I don't know how this mangonada compares to other places because I've only ever had it here. However, I can tell you that the mangos are plentiful and the ice is finely crushed. It hardly ever gets watery-tasting because there is just so much flavor from the chamoy and from the abundance of mangoes and pineapples. Check this place out! And remember cash only! read more

While I wish that could have a little bit more of creativity and bring new products with good quality and taste, what they have right now is really good I just hope not to get bored of the same thing everyday but way better than the guys across the street, they leaving the flavor and mango Island the creativity. But nonetheless everything on the menu is good especially the mangonada read more

Quality is like day and night, plus I think the other place is racist as hell sucks! This one we were treated nicely and loved the mangonada and the fruit here!

Really good mangonadas along with other products, price is a little above around the area but I believe because of the flavors and products themselves, great variety and snacks plus if you are in a hurry they really don't take long at all even with long lines, parking is harsh but ok for the most part, make sure to bring cash as they don't take cards as stated. read more

La Guerita Roasted Corn has numerous locations around the greater Houston area, but #3 happens to be in the parking lot of 99 Ranch (#1) which has practically become a landmark for westbound folks along I-10. Whether it's actual elote (on the cob) or esquite (corn in a cup), La Guerita definitely has both and so much more. The food truck is a bit larger, since it operates as two businesses: La Guerita Roasted Corn and Lesley's Sweet Bar. While the menus are distinct from each other, it's the same folks working on both. That being said, it's among the nicest and most colorful I've ever seen. Together, they sell a variety of indulgent, comfort food. Lesley's side is undoubtedly sweeter and a bit heavier emphasis on fried items from stuffed churros (#2), deep fried oreos and brownies, with a nice selection of milkshakes. For La Guerita has fries, prepared nachos, and and an intriguing big cup called the vaso loco ($12), which is layer s of cheese, saue, elote on top and bottom for the ultimate experience. My hot cheetos esquite was nicely decorated and heart despite the small cup. The counter also is also the land of do-it-yourself condiments. which include various hot sauces, chili powder, etc. The prices of other specialty carts are considerably less, but they're also not doing the same things as this one.

This is a very traditional snowcone truck. They have pretty much the classic flavors and they also have some that are so-called "natural flavors" which is what I tried. I got half lime-half mango. Honestly, it's still pretty much tasted like the sugary syrup that most snowcones are made with. But I guess this syrup didn't have any artificial coloring or flavoring which is why they called it "natural." I would definitely recommend getting a large because it's worth it for the size. The color changing spoons they give you are also fun.
