Unfortunately, my first experience at Tampico Refresqueria was very disappointing. I walked in and…read morewaited in line for about 10 minutes, only for the lady at the counter to suddenly start yelling that they were no longer taking orders and were closing for the night. The least they could have done was take care of the customers who were already there waiting before announcing they were closed. Very unprofessional and poor customer service. Definitely not a great first impression, and I would not recommend based on this experience. Lamentablemente, mi primera experiencia en Tampico Refresqueria fue muy decepcionante. Entré y esperé en la fila por aproximadamente 10 minutos, solo para que la señora en el mostrador comenzara a gritar que ya no estaban tomando órdenes y que iban a cerrar por la noche. Lo mínimo que pudieron haber hecho era atender a los clientes que ya estábamos esperando antes de anunciar que estaban cerrados. Muy poco profesional y con muy mal servicio al cliente. Definitivamente no fue una buena primera impresión y no lo recomendaría basado en esta experiencia.

I ordered my SF strawberry with crema (.50 add on) but totally worth it. The Frito pies were amazing with the chili cheese. What stood out was the beans in the chili . It sounds like a bit much but it was really good. Yes, they used name brand Fritos . So good.....What I think stood out was the stations set up for all the orders (shaved ice station, toppings, etc). They had plenty of people to handle the line! It was pretty warm outside but they did have some covered shade. Unpacked parking lot and no drive thru! FYI. This is pretty much my new spot. Check them out!

Located in Levy Park as an outdoor eating bar/restaurant, Gaspachos is a good hangout treat…read more Ambiance: 4/5 Completely located outdoors in the park, you can sit at the bar or tables in the area. Bring your fur baby, they also have treats for them & the doggy park is steps away. Lively music being played. Parking is available in the Kirby Grove garage at varying prices depending your length of stay. Or on the side street in front of the park. The place does do its best to keep flies away, but sitting outside and flies smelling food it was a bit unnerving to constantly swap them away as you ate or drank. Food: 4/5 Currently (July 11-25) they have a "Latin Restaurants week" special going on, so take advantage of it! You have to order at the counter because the self order kiosks don't auto discount and it comes out to about $45. I paid half of that for all I had minus the snow cone. Michelada - 4/5 I got to choose my own favorite beer (Pacifico) the flavor was a bit simple & bland for my taste. They do have other flavors (mango tamarind) but I forgot and ordered the classic. They also have margaritas which I didn't try but I'll try because the Michelada was palpable to me. Birria Elote 3/5 - it was basically meat on top of the corn. Nothing really stood out about this. Quesa gringa 5/5 - basically quesadillas on flour tortilla. you choose your meat style, I got asada. And it comes with a side of birria consume (broth/sauce) that was very flavorful. Churros 5/5- were warm and sweet, very delicious. Everything came out at once so that was a bit overwhelming and also didn't allow to enjoy the items individually. Would've liked items to arrive with some time in between, but I get it because they want to have everything done. Snow cone 2/5 - while the syrup is good, it's crushed ice, with syrup, served in a cute container. Basically a drink. I didn't finish it. I took a couple of sips and tossed the rest. It would be 100 times better if it were finely shaved ice and not crushed. Finely shaved is fluffy, like snow and easier to eat and enjoy. I met the owner, Jennifer, very friendly and accommodating. She initially had the food truck (still has other trucks in other areas only serving food) but for Levy Park 2 years ago opened up shop. This is a good hangout and laid back spot that is opened until to 11PM on weekends. Drop in have a bite.

The food was…read morebelow average for the price, service was slow and inattentive, and the overall experience just felt careless. Simple things were missed, and no effort was made to fix the issues once they were pointed out. For a spot that looks like it should deliver good food and decent service, it fell very short. There are plenty of better options nearby that actually value their customers. I won't be coming back.

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.
