I wasn't even sure what this establishment was all about; all I knew was the Thrifty ice cream sign peaked my curiosity (I love that ice cream!). This is another one of those places that sell a variety of different concoctions such as cueritos, chamaritos and the like! The staff was helpful as I ordered a 3-scoop cup of cherry amaretto, black cherry and blueberry cheesecake. Delish! I made sure to nurse it all the way home, even in this heat. A return trip to order actual food (and more ice cream) is in order. But I recommend checking this place out for yourself! read more

I can only review one item here, as I only came here once during my recent 2 night stay in Yuma. However, it was so authentic, I felt it deserved a review. Their raspados is the real deal: ground up ice flavored with guava paste mixed in it. It was the perfect icy-cold treat to help soothe inflamed gums after having a deep cleaning earlier that extremely hot afternoon (119 degrees) in Los Algodones. That is not hyperbole. read more

I want to say that the customer service of Raspados Pinguino was awesome. We are here attending a baseball tournament. They are located about 10 minutes from the field we were playing at today. With the temperature at game time around 100 degrees, we called and asked if they delivered. They were able to deliver our 12 items to the ballpark. Being that the fields do not have snack bars, these raspados were an awesome treat. The chamangos were delicious as well. Pictured are only a third of what we ordered. They really hit the spot on this hot day. read more

So for a 16oz Raspado aka snow cone minus the cone.. in a 16oz cup. You pay $6.25 total. Damn it's expensive. A small cone $3.30. Hey he has gotta pay for the brick and mortar but it'll be the last time I come here. I'm have to buy the things ( ice and vanilla) to make it at home myself. read more

Love the raspados!! Usually the service is quick . My favorite is The entumido. They have a variety of ice cream too. Tostilocos, churros locos. read more

Looking for some crazy concoctions of chips, shrimp and who knows what else then this is your spot. Located right off of 8th St. Raspados Pinguino sells some very interesting combinations that I have never come across before. Just when you think you have seen everything, this place takes it up to another level. Restaurant: There is not much parking outside, and it was packed inside when we got there around 9pm. Inside there is not much decoration, mainly a bunch of lunch tables. Food: We went to get something cold to cool off from the hot desert heat. Upon entering I was amazed by the menu. There were so many things I have never seen in my life. I was tempted to try something, but we had just had dinner so I went with a Tamarindo Raspado. It was definitely too sweet for my liking, but it was cold, and I really enjoyed it either way. The wife had some Thrifty's Ice Cream which is always good. The have what seemed like 30+ flavors of ice cream to choose from. Notes: I need to come back and try something with shrimp. Everything looked really good and people where sure enjoying their food here. It is a very laid back kind of place with a TV. read more

Initial impression: I've been to this establishment a handful of times in the last few years. This is the first time back in 8 months. Easy to find, located on a corner lot on 8th St. Well lit, minimal parking. Usually full of people. Quite popular. Parking lot has about 8 spaces I believe. Pros: The Best Churros lokos hands down, if you like the thin churritos with polvo... this is literally the only place that has them. I know.... I've checked everywhere else. They also sell the thick kind... but i don't care for those. Raspados are AMAZING! They are rich & always full to the top. They have many flavors They have the BEST Cueritos.... yumm Everything that I've ever ordered & tasted is by far better than any other place. The staff is super nice & humble. They are attentive & they just seem like good people. There is plenty of seating with lite entertainment. An air hockey table & TVs all around. They accept debit/credit They are fast but give them a break when there is 15 people ahead of you. Cons: The parking lot is pretty dark & a little scary if you go at night by yourself. I think they should invest in maybe an outdoor sensor light. I think they run like $35. Or so... Overall Experience: We walked in & there was about 12 people ahead of us. The line moved very quickly. We ordered 2 things. Churros lokos & Cueritos & they were delicious. Although we did have to wait about 15 min for them. It was well worth the wait. I did not take pictures because by the time I got them... I devoured them.... that's how good they were... This is by far the best place to get your antojitos.. read more

Love this place! A huge selection of different Mexican munchies. Perfect after dinner or for a quick snack. The person at the counter always has a whatever attitude so minus 1 star but the snack ALWAYS makes up for it. Some of my favorite things include Churros Locos, Elote en Vaso, Different flavored Raspados, Entumidos, Trolebus, and they have a delicious Fruit Salad and the list goes on and on. They also have hand scooped ice cream. The last time I went I got a Fruit Salad and a Mango Trolebus and it was delicious. read more

If you are looking for crazy Mexican inspired snacks, this is one of the best. The trolebus is delicious. They have all kinds of ice cream. The fruit cocktail is good. The only thing is they don't have lemons out for you to use and mr. Mangos (another snack place) does. read more

Instead of the tosticamarones, I had hot Cheetos camarones and oh my goodness! So good! I can't believe I've been never thought of it before! I was craving shrimp and hot Cheetos! I live in San Diego now and they don't have a place there that has shrimp added so whenever I come to Yuma to see my family, I HAVE to come here! We've known the family that owns it since they were a tiny truck about over 7 years ago! super nice people and always high quality Mexican desserts. Their Raspados were good too and their fruit salad as well. read more

everything is really good and tastes authentic . staff is friendly and attentive when needed

besides it being so expensive it's disgusting! the cheese for my hot Cheetos tasted horrible, the mango raspado I got was ice, sugar and water put together & the coctel de cuero was all cuero no pepino! Horrible place to go for a late night snack. read more

So i go right now at 9:59pm. there is still people eating deserts and putting in orders. I asked the guy "ur closing already?" he said "yeah its at 10". i said "but is a minute away plus people are still in there. can i get something?". he didnt answered me and closed the door and locked it. Are u serious. this place claims to have the best raspados but has no customer service. me cain mal los lugares asi. no le costaba nada dejarme entrar. ni probe sus raspados ni los probare. perdieron un cliente potencial de traer mas clientes. y talvez no les importa. pero igual. zero estrellas se merecen! decepcionado big time!! read more

Pretty awesome nachos! Amazing customer service! small building but okay? everything is fresh! it's family friendly too. It has some machine games as well. read more

Great taste and value, very nice people. Excellent service! Love the Mango and Chamoy smoothie!

This is the best place to get the original recipes raspados (snow cones) and other Mexican desserts I have seen in all the places I have been in the USA. My friends coming from many states all over USA think the same. Congratulations read more
