    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!!!

    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

    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.

    Preparadas

    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!

    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.

    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.

That tamale was amazing. I would get several orders of that soft white tamale by itself to go. And the service was a 10/10.

At brunch, the papas bravas come as small cubes of fried potato with an airy crunch that gives way to a soft, pillowy center - the kind of deeply satisfying bite that makes conversation briefly irrelevant. Crisp prosciutto adds salt, aioli brings richness, and smoky chile sauce keeps it lively. They're served with cactus-handled toothpicks, which are almost offensively adorable. The chilaquiles divorciados are another hit. The chips are dressed with salsa rather than drowned beneath it, so each one arrives ready for the perfect bite. It's a small distinction, but an important one. Then there are the enfrijoladas: rolled quesadillas in fluffy tortillas, covered in creamy black bean sauce and plated with more care than bean and cheese might seem to warrant. The dish is fundamentally simple, but that's the point. Soft tortilla, savory beans, melted cheese, bright salsa. Familiar ingredients transformed into something deeply comforting--the culinary equivalent of curling up beneath a warm blanket on a cold morning, even if Houston rarely provides one. Dinner shifts into another gear. The crudos are sensational, especially the tuna tiradito - a rolling wave of flavor and texture. The tacos are excellent across the board, but the crispy maitake mushrooms are unmatched. The short ribs arrive juicy and tender on a mole negro that doesn't sit politely in the background. It lands dark, complex, and full of flavor. And then there's the masa cornbread, a masterpiece of unapologetic indulgence. Humble cornbread meets savory-sweet mole, smoky, earthy butter, and caviar. It sounds like too much. It isn't. Every element earns its place. The cocktails deserve their own warning. They're the kind that convince you to keep ordering the same drink all night. By the end, you may have forgotten what was in it. What you'll remember is that it was refreshing, perfectly balanced, and exactly what you needed. Maximo makes ambitious food feel generous rather than fussy. Come hungry.

The Avocado Mollete and Chilaquiles Divorciados were both packed with so much flavor. Every bite was amazing.

The experience started poorly with the valet attendants, whom we found to be rude, dismissive, and very unprofessional. It was such an unpleasant first impression that my wife and I mentioned it to the hostess when we went inside. Unfortunately, things did not improve. The hostess seemed completely unconcerned about our experience and simply informed us that the wait for a table was approximately two hours. While deciding whether our party should wait or go elsewhere, I went to the bar to order a drink. After ordering, the bartender told me that if I was only having a drink, I needed to move. Apparently, sitting at the bar required ordering a meal. At that point, we had experienced enough. Between the unpleasant valet experience, the indifferent response at the hostess stand, the two-hour wait, and then being told I couldn't sit at the bar simply to have a drink while we decided what to do, the overall message was clear: we did not feel welcome here. My wife, the rest of our party, and I decided to leave and have dinner elsewhere. A busy restaurant is understandable. A long wait is understandable. What is much harder to understand is making prospective customers feel unwelcome at nearly every point of contact. Needless to say, this was an exceptionally disappointing experience, and we will not be returning.
