    I have to start out by saying I have no idea why this place is rated some what low..? 3 stars is surprising. I kind of take that back only because of customer service. There is a young lady there that is just not nice or helpful. I brought my dad in for the 1st time and we were asking what were the recommendations...she just seemed kind of annoyed by this question. But whatever, this rating is more on what we ordered. I ordered the Rusa and my dad ordered the banana split. The Rusa is absolutely breathtaking when you first see it. It was literally one of the most beautiful sights I've seen all day. The gleam in my eye was way more than I've ever given anyone in my entire life. I couldn't wait to dig in. I was surprised that my dad ordered the banana split but I guess he felt like having ice cream at the time.. I could tell he kind of felt it was a wrong decision after seeing what I ordered. But tough!! it was all mine!!! Just as I thought it was delicious and I cannot wait to come back for another. Maybe I'll try the mangonada and tell them to customize it by making the top half like a Rusa!!!! Muajajajaja!!!

    Mangonada

    This mangonada is so delicious! Great customer service as well! Will be coming back again soon. Thanks so much!

    This is a nail I found in my mangonada

    I've been coming here for years & I got a mangonada and found a nail in it. I literally pulled a piece of nail out of my mouth. How does that even happen this place is disgusting. I'm never coming back again I feel so disgusted

    The snacks are good My favorite thing is their bionico (amazing) I wish the had more ice cream variety Their shakes are good although i wish they would give bigger (thicker) straws I also feel like their short on staff It takes a while to get our order every time we go. But other than that everything else is good

    Tostada La Buenona
    Roy M.

    This place has great Mexican style snack foods! It's not a place you go for a wide range of actual "meal" type foods - although you can fill up with their tostadas or nachos. The tostada was what I ordered and it was very good. The only thing I would have liked better is if it had less cabbage and more avocado. But still, it was tasty. The chicken (only meat choice offered) was seasoned deliciously and all the vegetables in top were fresh. My wife also had the elotes which were good - for being canned corn as opposed to fresh. She also tried the mangonada and loved it. I don't like mangos so I can't rate it...but from the expert's opinion it was delicious. I've also had the fresas y crema (strawberries and cream) and it's probably the thing I most want to go back for. The berries were sweet and fresh, and it was the perfect refreshing snack on a warm summer evening. My wife has also had the hot dog Mexicano. It's decent. Would be much better with a beef hot dog - the ones they use taste like the cheap ones you get for around a buck per pack at the grocery store. The canned corn and hot dog would get about 3.5 stars, and the other items I'd give 5. All in all, this is a solid 4-star spot or better, depending on what you order.

    Great Mexican street food! I have never tried Mangonada before and I would have to say it is delicious! The portion is about a "venti" size with frozen blended mangos and swirls of spicy tamarind in between, and topped of with freeze frozen mango bites and more of that yummy tamarind sauce. The Mexican corn was also good! I don't believe its fresh corn off a cob, but the mayo, lime and Parmesan cheese made a perfect combo. The small is more than enough for me! I also tried a bite of the hubby's chicken tostada and it was amazing. The chicken was shredded but seasoned great with homemade salsa and not dry. Topped with a blend of shredded cabbage, tomatoes and créma. The Mexican hot dog is an interesting twist to an American classic. There is a strip of bacon that is placed underneath the wiener and it is top with tomatoes, créma, avocado chunks and mustard. I would recommend this place! It's kind of hidden but worth a try!

    I always get the mangonada or platano licuado- you seriously can't go wrong with that. Sometimes I get elote when I don't feel like driving to my normal elote place, and I regret it every time- not worth it. This place gets busy after dinner. Be ready to wait if they're even open..They have super inconsistent business hours. Some days I go 45 minutes before closing just to find out they're already closed.

    The mangonada was okay but the stuff does not look presentable , I opened it and the things fell out

    This place is the bomb. Fresh fruits and beverage for hot sunny day in Houston. The mangonados and pineapple fruit are so yummy. Rice ranging from $6-$10. I'd recommend to come here if you're just needing something sweet and savory. They have all sorts of snacks like elote and hot cheetos and with cheese.

    Preparadas
    Marci J.

    Ok, long overdue review on this place, but we wanted to go back and try a few things. Mangonadas here are SUPERB - true Mangonada in that it is not a raspa but rather blended frozen mango swirled with chamoy and topped with chopped mango; for $1 you can add the hot salted tamarindo stick. Preparadas are AMAZING!! You get a 32oz cup coated in chile & full of oranges & pineapples, lots of gummy bears, chamoy; you're lookin at $8.00 for one of these bad boys with the Smirnoff. If you get it with a Squirt, a Rusia, I believe they are around $6.50 (which is so much better than some other place). I absolutely love these and the flavor the chamoy gives the Smirnoff! Hot Cheetos with melted cheese?? OMG, I had never had such a thing, but it is surprisingly good and super cheesy. I have had just mango with chile and chamoy, and it always seems that the mango is super sweet. Cesar really likes their jicama & cucumber mixed as well. And the last time we went, we all ordered a small cup of corn which hit the spot and was so delectable. One of the good things is they have a condiment bar so you can add as much extra chamoy, chile or other seasoning to your drink, dessert, fruit, etc. Oh and be prepared to freezing in there because of all the ice cream and cold items going on lol! There has always been a line when we go, but they have their stuff together here. Orders come flying out and you may have a 15min wait after you order IF you're getting food; otherwise, our mangonadas last time came out in like 5min and we just to wait for our hot corn!

    I spent weeks getting excited about coming here and left a bit disappointed. I've seen photos of this place on instagram and the Pina Loca had captured my attention Came here on a Friday night and it was PACKED. There were about 4-5 groups in front of me when I had gotten there and only one register. The place was busy busy and the orders were coming out extreeeemely slow. There are a few menus scattered around the order counter, as well as signs (with pictures, for all of us non-spanish speaking folks) covering the walls. Brother and I ordered two mangonadas, and a pina loca The total was a little under $20. You wouldn't know that since THERE ARE NO PRICES ADVERTISED ANYWHERE. Waited and waited for what seemed like two years, it was actually over an HOUR for our order to be filled. For a place that doesn't serve much hot entrees and mostly drinks, they're extremely slow. Not sure how many people are working, but this is probably the only reason I won't be back. The drinks itself were pretty decent, the mangonada was nice and slushy. the pina loca is a behemoth, I wasn't even sure where to start. Overall, the experience was a one time thing for me, I wasn't super impressed.

    Cookie and cream ice cream and mangonada
    Evangelina O.

    Great choices to choose from and most importantly very clean! They have a nice little area set up if you decide to eat and hang out for a bit and good music (not too loud). I had a mangonada and my daughter had ice cream, we both loved it! First time here but will definitely be back.

    They should definitely fix that sign! Got here at 9:27 and it was closed

We visited around 5:00 PM on a Sunday and were pleasantly surprised to be seated immediately for a party of two without a reservation. The restaurant is huge, and despite being very busy, the service was efficient. We were seated in one of the back dining rooms and greeted with complimentary chips and salsa, both of which were delicious. The atmosphere was fantastic--packed with World Cup fans, with what felt like everyone wearing a soccer jersey. As fellow futebol fans, we loved the energy. Being from California, we're fortunate to have access to some excellent Mexican food, so we were a little hesitant about trying Tex-Mex. I ordered the chicken fajitas with flour tortillas and a passion fruit margarita. The chicken had a smoky flavor and a sauce that gave the dish a distinctly Texas-style twist. The flour tortillas were outstanding, and the refried beans and rice were just as enjoyable. The passion fruit margarita was also a standout and something I'd definitely order again. Overall, this was a great dining experience and a place I'd recommend for the atmosphere alone. The restaurant appears well-equipped to accommodate large groups, making it a great option for gatherings. Next time, I'd love to return with a bigger group and take advantage of one of their margarita pitchers!

For drinks, my husband and our friends tried some of the margaritas from their large and unique margaritas menu, as well as their hibiscus agua fresca. All of the drinks were very pretty and it seemed like everyone enjoyed them, too! We started with their chips and salsa trio, which we all really liked. The chips were on the thicker side, but were crispy and not stale or chewy at all. Each of the salsas were quite different, and two were served warm, which we really liked! For the price, I'd consider getting the chips and salsa as a non-negotiable, honestly. For entrees, we tried the enchilada rojas, chilaquiles verde w/ chicken and beef, birria barbacoa ramen, and huaraches. My husband felt like his ramen could have included more meat, but aside from that everyone really enjoyed what they ordered. The highlight was probably the desserts, though! We got a quatro leches and two ordered of their giant and amazing churros. Both were incredibly tasty and reason enough to return for another visit in the future!
