I'm so disappointed because I love this place and my family does to but I won't order more than 2 items unless they change their cup holders since my car only has 2 drink slotsI had 2 cups tip over because the holder was way to big for the cups and the lids for the cups that hold the nacho cheese don't close properly I got left with little to none of it I had to put stuff to hold the cups and prevent them from tipping read more

My experience with my green juice was very mediocre! The lady who I place an order with ask me and my friend how did we like it and we told her that the drink did not taste great! Her response was "juice don't taste that great" ! My juice was warm and it had a lot of pulp! I may give this place another shot but no time soon! My experience was far less than stellar !!! read more

Raspado Xpress - My less than yummy green juice!! - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Pomona, California

If you are craving a raspado like the one in Tijuana you can go here instead of crossing the border. I tried the nuez and it was even better than the one in Mexico. It wasn't too sweet but just perfect! read more

What I want you to know: 1. That this is Lourdes Ruelas' hard work, tears, hope and dream that you're walking into. Raspados Xpress is the fruit of a strong woman from Guadalajara, Mexico who so believed in the US and its' citizens, that she uprooted her family to chase the American Dream. A woman who fed her family tortas given to her by neighbors and friends who believed in HER. You are walking into a place whose very existence is a testament to the power of the human spirit and community. Recognize it and let yourself be inspired. 2. That my favorite time to go is during a heat wave, when the sun makes my mind tired and my body pliable. When tiny beads of sweat pace their way down my spine and slink into the curve of my waist like lost little soldiers in the valley of my temple. 3. That you made my day by letting me be witness to your first raspado ever. And that the image of your grinning face - Chamango lips and elote teeth - is one of my favorites in life. (Thank you) 4. That a Besafresa (spicy lime strawberry) makes my lips tingle and leaves me heady with lust. That a Diablito (spicy orange pineapple) licks the fire inside me and I will cut you before I share any of it. That when I drink a Trompo, I'm transported to when I was 6 years old, twirling in my favorite folklórico dress until I was dizzy. And that the Fresas con Crema makes me want to get married in a lacy white dress with red lingerie under it. 5. I don't mind the line. Yes, there is always a line. Stand in it and look around you. See how quiet it is, as everyone seated is digging into soft mounds of shaved ice. Licking cream off the tips of their noses. Plucking succulent cubes of fruit from cups brimming with concoctions the color of my lips after hours spent kissing. Listen to the hum of satisfaction while you try - just try - and decide which frosty temptation will meet its demise in your warm mouth. 6. That I come here often so try not to stalk me. 7. That the swap meet across the way claims to have the best Chamangos, but they're lying. Raspado Xpress, hands down. 8. None of that boba shit. Fin. read more

love this place! there's always a line so prepare to wait, especially on hot sunny days like today the line was out the door and unfortunately I was standing under the sun. BUT well worth the wait !! I ordered the usual Chomango and today I also wanted to try the strawberries & cream which is also good if you're ever craving berries & crema. average price will get you at $5- a pop, which is very reasonable considering the size :D only downfall is that parking is a little tight since its shared with other shops. ***if you're riding with someone else I suggest you have them park next door (a burger joint? looks like an old McDonald's) and have them wait for you as you order. Definitely recommend this place and don't forget to order yourself a Chomango!!!!! read more

Was not worth the pretty expensive prices. got an elote and it was hard and undercooked, no flavor. Got a nuez raspado and it was literally mostly ice. (first pic) most disappointing was the tostilocos, literally like 10 chips and the rest were cueritos. Not coming back for sure, recommend the same if ur looking for a place to go. Only giving 2 stars because it was clean and the cashier had patience. read more

I saw a friend check-in here on Facebook, so I looked up their Yelp! and had to give it a try! We went in with the Yelp knowledge that there wouldn't be much english and that the neighborhood wasn't the best. It's located across the street from the old mall in Pomona- I think it's now a swap meet. Based on other reviews we ordered a fresa (strawberry) respado and a coco (coconut) respado and we were not disappointed! The hubby did try a chimango because the pictures looked good, but we should have asked what it was. It was made of a chili flavored juice (?), reminiscent of the candy you get from the ice cream man with super yummy mango and shaved ice. This was a new flavor for him, but it did grow on him although he said he probably wont order this again. Our favorite was the coconut which tasted like fresh fruit to me. The strawberry was good too, but I was a little disappointed that it didn't have any cream or sweet milk like other Yelpers had, next time I will inquire about this. The place was packed and the line was to the door, but moved fairly quickly. A lot of others ordered what looked like fresh strawberries and cream which I believe was $5, we might order that next time, it looked really good! Their prices are great, I got a small for $2.50 and it was more than enough. They even have a kids size on the menu for $2.00. We will definitely be back! Oh, and beware of the WORST drivers you will ever encounter in what was a very small lot! read more

This place makes one of the best raspado in town, that I've tried in the area so far. The portion you get is pretty good deal for what you pay for. The Diablito and Chamango is pretty deliciois and refreshing. The only downfall is the elote in the cup, it really isn't theor fault, but it does tastes better when its corn is on the cob with the chili, butter, and cheese as to in the cop, it doesn't spread that evenly so stirring the corn is a must. Besides that, the service is good and the location is in a strip mall in Pomona, so you would see a variety type of poeple from the area. I believe there was a 50 cent or so charge when paying with a VISA card. read more

Raspado Xpress - (LEFT) Diablito & (RIGHT) Chamango - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Pomona, California

I came in for a chamango and vanilla raspado. Both bad quality. They literally give you ice .. the one from ampm.. and throw a flavored water on top . You're chewing the ice instead of being able to drink it ... then the chamango is full of syrup. No fruit. It's like a thick high fructose corn syrup. I'm so grossed out. The syrup is thick like snot. Terrible quality. At least blend the items and put fruit in them. They honestly don't deserve 1 star. read more

Raspado Xpress - How can you drink this??!! Gross. It's like ice, water, and artificial vanilla syrup. - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Pomona, California

I love my biónicos here ! Great service !!!! Is super fast !! the females are really nice ! And I love giving tips !!

I got so played by this place tonight. I came for a chamango raspado, elote in a cup, and fresas con crema. My raspado was a hard rock floating in syrup which I had to blend when i got home. And the fresas were just huge halved strawberries with whipped cream all over. The elote was soaked in lemon juice and butter. And the chile was literally a rock not even sprinkled. I wanted to give this place the benefit of the doubt but. yikes. read more

We got two large elote en Vaso. I'm pregnant and craving corn. It was undercooked or something cause it tasted crunchy and hard. Waste of $14 ;( read more

a super hot day? thirsty? wanting to be healthy? wanting to have something cold to drink? whatever the reasons may be raspado xpress is the place to go! my coworker talks about this place all of the time and talks highly of it. we went on a mission to quench my thirst and i wanted to be good so i got a strawberry kiwi agua fresha [$3]. it wasn't on the menu because on the menu you only see one type of fruit but they were willing to do a combination. my coworker got the mango & pineapple raspado [$3]. likes: *agua fresha isn't super sweet like the ones i've had in the past. *great affordable prices. *they use real fruits. i saw through the kitchen a bunch of people standing around slicing up fruit. so this place is legit! *huge menu selection with pictures. dislike: *long lines *50 cent charge for credit card use. tips: *they have the mexican corn that you see on the streets from those shopping carts. *cash and credit card accepted. *private shared parking lot. *staff speaks really good english. *been around since 2002 *there are tables for you to sit and indulge in the yummy items that you're purchasing. i definitely will be coming back. there's so many different things i want to come back and try. i definitely would recommend raspado xpress! read more

So many different flavors to choose from its great! Also the prices you can't beat. Other places sell mediums for almost $5 and don't have any smaller sizes.

Save your time and money and go to La Michoacana. 100% Better quality, portion size, prices, and most importantly service. Poor management!! Don't waste your time. read more

I remember why I stop going to this place, the fruit is either spoiled or overly ripe.

Great Raspados, customer service, friendly atmosphere.. It was easy to order, very help for my first time..

Love this place! Best Raspado ever! Try Coconut, Pineapple with little Strawberry on top it's Divine! Staff are so nice and never complain when they get last min customers before they close! Highly Recommend!chino read more

The service is great, nice and friendly staff. I've came here maybe 4x, it's always packed and the line is long, the wait time is a bit long as well. I rather go to La michoacana and get my juices there. read more

Definitely don't buy their Elote. Corn tasted like it was cooked 4 days and left out to rot. Super gross. Their chamangos and champinas are good however. read more

This place have a really small parking lot which is share with a restaurant next door so it is really difficult to find parking. We love the elote and the bionicos here. The service is really slow a d they usually have only 2 employee working. Sometimes the line would be out the door. We have tried other items from their drinks menu such as the chamango and the other drink with a mixture of fruit in it and it's pretty good if you're a fan of sour and spicy. read more

Went here today and omg to say it was horrible is an understatement. Why do you wait an hour for a drink? There are 3 people inside along with the owner and no one speeding up the drinks. That is ridiculous. Why are they so slow? Where is the customer service? No where that's the answer. Don't recommend unless you want wait for at least an hour. Also why can't they bother to pick up the phone? We heard the phone constantly ringing with no one even concerned. Such disappointment. Good food , horrible service. read more

I really like this place. The Chamango is pretty good. However, it's not as amazing as the place my friend brought one to me off of Garvey. But I am lazy and don't want to make the drive so I will settle with this little place in Pomona. It's not bad at all. It is a lot of ice and the mango is a hit or miss. Either it's sweet or sour. I don't like how you have to pay for that tamarind straw (is it tamarind?). The fresno con crema is really good! Maybe because it's strawberry season, but it's one of my favorites. They have a rather big range of drinks, so I must try them all. The elote was really bad. The corn tasted old and hard like it was notcooked at all. I will settle with finding the elote man in the streets of Pomona. Elotero, if you are reading this please tell me where you are because I can never find you!! read more

There's nothing more confusing than real lime juice in a shave ice type concoction. Sadly, this review came after having a fabulous meal and being on calorie overload. Diminishing returns? But yet, that :::lightbulb::: of a real flavor was a bit of a novelty. Most places are still using some mix of a mix with sugar and the after t;sate of red dye number 40. Yet again another hole in the wall with a local following -- probably overlooked by many. But this could be one of those scavenger hunt destinations. In many ways, one could claim and RDA of fruit via juice but the sugar in the syrup is probably off that scale too. So, just for enjoyment, include this in your bookmarks. Summer is a'comin and a secret shave ice place like this could be your golden ticket. Another Pomona adventure brought to you by Michael W., the Ronco of things worthwhile on Yelp. read more

This place sucks. Came in for the first time today and my drink was delicious up until I kept getting pieces of lime seeds and one of them cracked my tooth. Why mix soft fruit with hard seeds? Also had some nachos and they are stale. The cheese is good but the chips are stale. Service was good though. read more

Ok the whole menu is great! I mean honestly the size is great also. The one thing that kept me from giving them 5 stars is that there's always a line. Trust me I can be patient, but the line sometimes takes too long. Also I don't like being charged .50 cents to use my card and I don't always carry cash so that's also a downfall for me. I've been here plenty of times that I know that once make my order it takes a while to receive my item. My fav is the famous "chamango" / "diablito". read more

I LOVE THIS PLACE!! My boyfriend and I always go to this place when ever we have a chance. I always get the coconut raspado with lechera. The raspados are reasonably priced and great tasting and yes is in ghetto pomona but I don't care these raspados are the best!! If you are ever looking for a great sweet treat on a hot day, here is the place to go. Also don't back away if you see a long line, they are usually pretty fast. Unless they are being held up by someone that doesn't know what to order. While waiting in line you can decide what you would like to get the menu is pretty big so everyone can see. read more

I came here today after reading the reviews about this place. Everyone was saying how amazing the chamango was and how big it is. I give the chamango one star. Everyone is excited to pay $4.50 for a large cup. Don't you realize you're paying $4.50 for a cup of shaved ice with mango and chili syrup with a few pieces of mango?! What a waste of my time and money! This crap isn't even authentic. It's GHETTO CHAMANGO! I'd rather drive to South El Monte to Garcia's Fruits! You haven't had the best chamango until you try Garcia's! They start off with a generous scoop of fresh mango's and then they add the spices and fresh lime juice. You can pick your flavor of sorbet. (They use fresh sorbet instead of cheap shaved ice). Garcia's fills the cup all the way with your flavor sorbet and then they top it off with another generous scoop of fresh mango's with a candy stick. They cut their mango's small enough so when you suck up your drink, you get your mango's also! All for the same price! Don't believe me? Go Yelp or Instagram Garcia's Fruits and compare the pictures. You can see the difference right away. But I'm guessing most people won't make the drive for a REAL chamango. (: #fuckraspadoxpress #I #Love #garciasfruits read more

I had a feeling this place had a new owner when I noticed every time I come the drinks are getting shittier and shittier. They never have this or they just ran out of that. How the hell do you always happen to "RUN OUT" of the same shit at different hours and days of the week??? The young pendejo behind the cash register has a shitty attitude and has no customer skills what so ever. Im not driving all the way down here anymore for a place that can no longer compete with ALL the other good raspado places out there. read more

They're raspados are the best! Their service? Not so much! The girls there are slow as fudge! It's like they ask one hand permission to move the other. Not only that, but they don't have the best attitude. I had 2 people in front of me, small orders, it took them like 15 minutes to get to me. It's like really? imagine if the line was longer!!! Hell nah! I'm usually a slowpoke, but if speed and attitude is required... I step up my game. read more

Raspado Xpress - The nachos I made with cheetos and my coffee raspado - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Pomona, California

Delicious! Delicious! First time getting a Raspado and I was not disappointed :) Glad I got to try it first here. The service was bad, no greeting no hello. Just what would u like :/ and had to wait while the lady was in the back for a while before I could even ask any questions. Not a good place for first time customers with questions. Was happy that my drink stayed cold for many hours bec I am not the kind of person who drinks fast. read more

Stopped by because I was craving Tejuino, which is a very particular drink that has a process. My favorite way of having it is with nieve de limon, I asked if the added it, which they said they did. My mistake was not asking how the made it. The mix it all and then serve you the drink. Unfortunately the way that I like it is with la nieve de limon intact.... next time I know what to ask for. Customer service was great, nice and clean environment and the only one issue was long line. Other than that they have a lot of antojitos! read more

This place is perfect during the Summer! Walkin in this joint always makes me happy. You will see every type of person here.

Prompt service and Clean facility. Rapados bring people together :) read more

On a hot day the line could be out the door so brace yourselves. I recommend the corn in a cup and the cottage express. Their raspados are pretty great too specifically the chamango. i would definitely stray from the tejuino, something about the taste gives me a headache. the reason I'm giving it 3 stars is because the women that work here ALWAYS have a terrible attitude! I get you're working in Pomona but that doesn't mean you can lack work ethic. I guess that's why they're in their mid 30s working at a raspado store. read more

It had been years since I visited Raspado Xpress since I don't live too close by but we stopped by the other day because my boyfriend's mom wanted an Agua Fresca that she used to get. We ended up ordering a few drinks and raspados. I'm not one to leave reviews but felt I had to this time because of how disappointed we are. First off, the customer service sucks. The two women that were working this day so did not want to be there... or at least acted like they didn't want to be there. No "hello" or smiles whatsoever. My boyfriend is a friendly guy and the cashier girl on duty gave him attitude when he asked her questions about the drinks. Second, the drinks and raspado we ordered tasted terrible. My boyfriend ordered the Agua de fresa and it tasted so watered down almost like it had been sitting in the heat and the ice melted. I ordered the chamango which also tasted watered down. It just tasted like salty water... gross! Lastly, the tables were pretty dirty. We waited about 10 minutes for our order and the tables we sat at were all sticky and dirty. Sadly, it's not the Raspados Xpress I remember visiting and liking a few years back. They need major improvements... starting with the workers on duty. read more

Ordered the Strawberries with crema (whipped cream) and the Bionico (mixed fruit with sweet sour cream, nuts shredded coconut) . I thought these were both good. Of the two, I like the strawberry one the best. If you're not partial to a certain fruit, then you can ask them to omit. My daughter doesn't like papaya. There is a huge menu, of smoothies, crushed ice with many types of flavors, mundane and exotic. I will try the spicy crushed ice drinks next time. read more

BEST RASPADOS, HANDS DOWN! I get the Fresa raspado... strawberry! Huge chunks of strawberries with the choice of lechera topping on top. Huge portions and reasonable, especially when you're watching your figure and are craving something sweet! Better to reach for this than some ice cream. They have a huge selection of other stuff, but for now I'll stick to the raspados. read more
