    Fruit cup with candy
    Lauren G.

    OMG ITS SO GOOD!!! We came In here and did not leave disappointed. The fruit cup was amazing and I got it with candy. The Chamoy is on the sweeter side but i prefer it that way when I get it on fruit. They were out of watermelon which was a little sad but the taste alone made up for it.The corn cup seemed to be really fresh it did not taste like it was from a can. It still had a fresh crunch to it and boy was it cheesy. I'm definitely coming back.

    Mangonada with both Mango and Chamoy ice cream

    Amazing Mangonadas! I dream about them all the time. Their other offerings look good too, but I can't bring myself to not get the mangonada.

    The fruit bowl with lime and Tajín is fantastic! Great assortment of fruits served chilled--can't beat it.

    There are few things in life I love more than a cold fruit cup with lime and Tajín. It's one of my all-time favorite snacks, and La Colmena Fruteria is serving up a delicious one. The "fruit cup" I got was actually a bowl, stuffed to the gills with a fantastic assortment of chilled fruits. The lime juice tasted fresh, and the seasoning was perfect--not too heavy, not too light. I've visited several fruterias, and this place was definitely one of the better ones. Quality fruit with very little filler (e.g., cucumber, cantaloupe) goes a long way in my book. I'll definitely be back.

    My neighborhood frutería, I come here for corn in the cups all the time. I usually ask for Ricardo because he's the one that shows my order love! They don't have it on the menu but i order hot Cheetos in my corn in a cup. It's a must try !! There's a few menu photos along with this review. Try it out, you might catch me here

    Just when you think you've seen every kind of mangonada, in comesLa Colmena. The only reason I found this joint was because of my 15 year old. How he knew about it, IDFK. Alas, it was a very good choice and their mangonadas are not only the real deal but a work of art. Think of their mangonadas as the bloody marys of raspas/shaved ice - they really decorate them with all kinds of stuff: fruits, candy and gummies - yes, freaking sour gummies. Aside from raspas, they do have a limited menu of food: burgers, tacos, enchiladas and even the ever-present corn-in-a-cup which was fresh, hot and they added a little extra chile to kick up the spicyness. I need to go back and try their stuffed pineapple as it looks incredible!

    This place has been here for quite some time.

    When I say this is the best snack shop I've been to, I mean it! Big portions, good prices, awesome selection. This fruit cup is their "small"!! I will continue to go here even if I didn't live so close. Always amazing service from the sweetest guy you could ask for behind the counter. Love it here!

    2 large corn in a cups and 2 large mangonadas which they automatically top off with all kids of fruit and candies

    My family and I used to live off 151 and wiseman but now we live off 281 and stone oak and the closes fruteria was "la colmena" you guys must try this place better than munchies by far and the portions are off the charts. They truly care about the quality of their products. Once you taste it it will really take back to your childhood!

    Fruit cups are delicious and massive!

    Do you have a fruit cup craving? Look no further than this joint! These are the sweetest, largest, and best value you will run into 'round these parts! We happened to be at At Home when we were hit with a fruit cup craving. A little yelping later, we ended up here. We also got some frozen ice and aguas frescas. There are so many snacks here that there's bound to be something for everyone in your party!

    Definitely a one-of-a-kind experience! No phones allowed to be able to be present in the magical…read moremoments. The food was so fun and the presentation is like a show! They have a storyline to create a plot for the "dessert" creations. The pastry chefs interweave sweet, salty, sour, spicy, and umami throughout the evening AND is also paired with a drink per dish. They tell you how to eat the dish for maximum enjoyment of the desired taste experience. They do an excellent job of creativity, presentation, and combination of flavors. Such an intimate setting. After it's all done, they do part you with a BIG fortune cookie with a handwritten fortune! This is the time where you are allowed to pull your phones out. And you can also step in the kitchen area and take pics. Menu does change. I'd definitely go again!

    I'd say between 4 and a 5. Reason I'll tip to the 5 is:…read moreI LOVE how private this place is. Only holds up to 20. Also, no photos allowed. Be present. Be with everyone. Listen to the story behind the food and drink being made. The experience tips it. The food was overall great. I love the play and texture of each. There were 4 that were extremely memorable! Relatable. The ambiance is giving strong date vibes. Dark, lustrous, open... beautiful from entrance to exit. Service is as expected but the main chef is just very interactive with the story behind every dish so that's a pleasure. Feels like a private chef experience almost. The drinks were the least favorite but still a much needed part of the dinner, and enjoyable none the less
