    Raspados
    Ryan W.

    Tl/ DR: A cute little establishment for all of your snacking and sweet dessert needs. Service: We were greeted by very friendly staff. We kept walking past this establishment on our walks and decided to go in to give them a try. We were greeted with friendly smiles and had all of our questions answered. 5/5 Ambiance: There's some seating available, but it would be difficult to cram multiple large parties. Everything looked clean and prices to items are clearly labeled. 4/5 Food: There are a wide varieties of snacks and foods. Given it was a hot day we opted for raspados. Elite tip, they have some that are lactose friendly. You also get the option of adding a condensed milk topping. While this is refreshing, it was very very sweet. I'm not an overly sweet drink person but I think many would enjoy this. I thought prices were also quite fair. 3/5

    I came across this place by scrolling through Yelp to see what's new around me. I was surprised to see that there's an Antojitos place near downtown which honestly is very smart. I work downtown and wanted to see where this was located so I figured I would give them a try. They're located off second street according to their address in a wooden building but the parking and official entrance is off Winter Street. Once I arrived I was excited to see that they also offer Tortas, which worked out for me since I was hungry. The torta menu is limited, they offer carnitas, ham and cheese and a Hawaiian torta. I noticed that they also have a turkey panini. I started talking to the owners and he mentioned that they just opened in October, their current hours are M-sat 11-8 and on Sunday's 11-7. They did say the hours are subject to change as they are still trying to get a good groove going. The first time I went was on a Friday at around 4:30 which was perfect since I didn't have to wait in line. The second time I went was on a Tuesday at around 11:40, they did have a wait since that's around the same time the high school off second street has their lunch. I would suggest to go a little bit after or call in your order if you're in a hurry. Now on to the food..... I'm going to combine the food from both visits. Yes, I've gone twice already since the service is excellent, and you get your moneys worth in their snacks and tortas. I highly recommend to get the Carnitas Torta, the portions are great and you also get chips on the side with a homemade dip that's also pretty tasty. They were kind enough to give us a sample of the champurrado which is a traditional drink usually with a chocolate flavor, think of it as a thicker version of a hot chocolate. It's perfect on a cold day. I also got to try the Hawaiian torta, it tasted great but I would stick to the Carnitas one going forward. The Hawaiian torta came with ham, pineapple and cheese versus the Carnitas which come either cabbage or lettuce, tomato and jalapeño. In fact we all agreed that to Carnitas torta was a hit. We also tried the Esquite which is corn off the cob warmed up and served with your choice of mayo, cheese and powder chile, also recommend. I did not get to try the buñuelos but a friend that was with me did and she said, "This tastes just like home." That's a great recommendation for me and will give those a try on another visit. I will definitely be going back since it since it had more pros than cons. The only con is that the inside is small so it only seats 4 maybe 5, how ever they do have patio seating outside which is going to be perfect on the warmer days. Parking is better off Winter Street as well. The biggest pros is that they offer great customer service, the portions are a good value and the food is delicious. I'm glad I have something like this close to work.

    Say No Less. Bomb AF! This is a brand new mom and pop shop kind of thing in 2nd street and Winter. Although there no real parking there is convenient street parking (parallel park). Once you walk up the few wooden stair steps you walk into the store and it sends off a cute but also cool vibes. It's not just food, it's not just drink but it's also Antojito as well! Once you walk in you see Giovani welcoming my friend and I into the store. I felt a warm welcome and it wasn't awkward at all to be in a store. There were A LOT of amazing food, drinks and antojitos as well. I am in love with this place not gonna lie definitely will be coming back. Now to the food: Paninis: 10/5 I am not going like I am a snob for paninis because there was a time someone I cared for before she past made the best paninis in the world. I been trying paninis and they never even come close to that standard. Except Giovanni at Los 3 Pinguinos I was close to tears eating this because it tasted so good and so similar it brought me back the happy memories that I had with someone I cared for and loss. Torta: 5/5 Tortas were nothing but AMAZING. Let's just say he did not go cheap on the food. He asked if you wanted the jalapeño tomatoes and avocado and what nots. It was not a small torta but what make him stand out amongst the other places is that he did toast the bread which I love. Bionico: 5/5 I was craving for this for a long time. Even beg my friend to make this for me until she took me here. Basically a Mexican fruit salad fresh apples bananas strawberries with some kind of sweet cream (which wasn't really sweet) coconut shaving and chocolate and what not. Eskicheetos: OMG such a bomb snack. The hot Cheetos, the cheese, the corn, the Parmesan cheese the spicy powder. Nothing short from the amazing snack. Mangoñada (slush) so good especially in the heat. Vanilla Raspado: so good. Cucumber Lime water was so good and refreshing. Service: 5/5 Giovanni service was nothing short from having an AMAZING customer service. He was very welcoming and very attentive and paid attention to my allergies. We sat here for a while and he did not try to shooo us and try to make us leave. ***Currently Giovanni is the only one working there right now as I see So please don't expect a fast food service. ***

    Great food and value. This is a new store opened in one of the wooden buildings on 2nd street, diagonally across from Innovations High School. The staff who worked there when we visited were very nice and kind enough to explain each snack to us, since we are not so familiar with Mexican snacks and desserts. We ordered Eskicheetos (cheese corn with chipotle sauce, and mayonnaise on top of a bed of Cheeto) and Fresas con Crema (sliced fresh strawberries with cream, topped with crispy rice, coconut, and granola for crunch). Both were very delicious and fresh. Would visit again!

    Hands down, this is the best sandwich I've ever had in a two state radius…read more I ordered the Chicken Cheese Steak Sandwich with all the veggies on their fresh, in-house baked jalapeno cheddar cheese bread, and it was absolutely incredible. The bread was soft, fresh, and packed with flavor, while the chicken steak was perfectly cooked, juicy, and seasoned just right. Every bite was better than the last. My wife ordered the Cheese Steak Sandwich with no veggies and we both agreed these were some of the best sandwiches we've ever eaten. The staff made the experience even better. Everyone was welcoming, friendly, and genuinely seemed to care that customers had a great experience. The restaurant has a classic deli atmosphere that feels comfortable and inviting. The biggest compliment I can give is this: I'm already going back for the third time in one week because I can't stop craving that Chicken Cheese Steak Sandwich on the jalapeno cheddar bread. If you're anywhere near Full Belly Deli, do yourself a favor and stop in. You won't regret it.

To be fair I only tried one item, the Thai chicken wrap and it wasn't bad but it was a huge mostly cabbage presentation. Really there was very little chicken in it. I couldn't detect any peanut flavor in the Thai chicken sauce. Perhaps I should have tried a different item? The service was great, atmosphere was non existent, it's a bleak boring dining area. The only cool thing was the stickers on the front window. If I get back to Reno this place would be low on my return list. UPDATE: After receiving a message from the owner I plan to return to Full Belly Deli and try something different. It's tough to make a decision with the extensive menu and as I felt instinctively while there. The Thai Chicken Burritos wasn't the best choice especially when they may lots of breads in house. I'm sure I will be back within the next year, as soon as my client destroys the work I did on my last trip.

    I will start with the fact that the sandwiches are good and workers are friendly…read more However the middle screen was burned out so we could not see the menu and they have no paper menus available. The workers were also very confused on how to ring things up and what was included in a kids meal and had to come by the table for us to remind them what we ordered on a sandwich because they didn't understand the ticket produced by their machine. They had to call the owner to get help. The worst part is it took forever to get out sandwiches. We had places 2 orders. The first one came out after about 20 minutes. But another 20 minutes went by and we had not heard a peep from anyone. So I went to the register and there were no customers. I told them I was checking on our order and they looked confused. My order was sitting in a bag on the back counter!!! No one noticed or checked on it. We didn't get our sandwiches for 40 minutes after ordering them.

    This... We ordered one classic cheesesteak…read more ONE cheesesteak. Ordered it at 2:40 pm. After waiting 35 min, still no cheesesteak. Thinking they may have forgotten our order or it was somehow misplaced, I asked how much longer it would be. Was told there was still a wait, but no specific time was given. We waited another ten minutes and still nothing. Went back up to the counter and asked again. Was met with major attitude and was told they're very busy. I looked around... Including us, there was one guy waiting at the counter and one girl who already had her sandwich. And there were zero Door Dashers the entire time we were there. There were NO other ppl that came in the entire time we were there. Ummmm.... It was crickets the entire time. Then all five employees came to the front as we were asking for our money back and we were met with some kind of weird, out-of-bounds rude behavior, saying things like, "Well if you think you can do better why don't you come back and run the grill?" To which I said, "Sure! No problem. I private chef on the side and can probably teach ya a thing or two. You cannot just fire on one sandwich every ten to fifteen minutes." After no cheesesteak and quite a bit of arguing, we finally got our money back. Lastly, it's worth noting, the place was super dirty. Used napkins on the floor, tables not wiped down. Counters not cleaned. Ketchup packets left on tables. Garbage clearly hadn't been taken out in a long time. So, let's just say, the Health Dept has been notified; the conditions are atrocious. Literally the worst place I've ever seen, and I've seen a lot! It's a shame... all of the other Capriotti's locations I've been to have been clean, ultra quick, and the quality of their products have been awesome. This one? Run. Run away fast and far! Do NOT eat there!

One of my favorite sandwiches is the French dip on their Swiss and onion bread.. the beef is tender and not super fatty. The au ju is flavorful, not too salty and doesn't leave some coat of something on your tongue.. the swiss/onion bread works so so well with everything.. the flavor of the Swiss cheese goes well with the au ju. We've had a few different sandwiches. my fiancée loved the meatloaf one and we both love the recent weekly specials.. This week is the chicken curry salad sandwich and last week was the Carolina pulled pork.. I lost my mind with that one.. so so flavorful. I couldn't stop eating it. I forgot it was a weekly special and we got it on the last day. So so sad.. wish it was a regular on the menu.. They have a list of sandwiches but you can also make your own and choose which bread you want on any of them. The thing I love about them is you can order a half sandwich. Sometimes a full sandwich is a little too much and other times you just want a lite meal.. Cant wait to swe their next weekly special.

When I have big parties and all the family over, three dollars a pound difference can be $30 cheaper to go to one of the other options. A couple of times I have asked the counter person if they sell pork belly uncooked as it is a butcher shop and they have plenty of uncooked meat. But she says they do not. I wish I did so it would save me a trip to blue ribbon butcher. I have not tried any of the deli foods, but they have a nice menu.
