Good serving sizes but the syrup lacks enough fruit and is mostly corn syrup. Still searching for a raspado place that reminds me of the ones from my childhood. read more

Raspados on a forever Summer day after a nice long up hill hike you so know that's an epic way to get your chill on to bring your temperature right back where it should be perfect! I've had raspados a good number of places and the ones my lady and I enjoyed from here are quite possibly some of the best ones I've ever had as they were huge and packed with flavor to the max! Of the many delicious choices I had to go for the Strawberry/Vanilla combination because that's just two of my favorite things in one drink the drink itself started off kinda sweet but as the ice inside melted it quickly became just perfect and super refreshing after each sip or spoonful of that nice cold strawberry flavored ice! My lady ordered a mango one with a spicy side to it that also had one of the yummy Lucas sticks inside of it she really enjoyed it as well me not so much as I love hot things but I have trouble when it comes to adding them to drinks for some reason as my throat just doesn't enjoy the chili particles all that much! One of the best things about coming here is that directly next to the shop they have a parking lot so we were easy in and easy out as that's a plus anywhere in LA to find a place to park! They have a good sized menu of drinks here as well as some food if your looking for more than just the drinks so don't be shy and stop by you'll be happy you did especially on a hot day! Overall I'm sure we will venture here again sometime as it was super delicious and definitely reasonably priced as I think we spent $8 for two drinks that were huge so definitely a cool refreshing idea for those super hot days! read more

Second time here today. Today I ordered a raw juice with celery, beets, apple and carrots for $6 and a licuado with strawberries and banana for $5. Both were delicious, served with ice upon request and delivered in a tantem cup holder. Although there is seating inside and outside in the parklet, you order in their walk up window on the street side. They are cash only and don't have an extensive menu with prices just pictures. You just tell the employee what you want and they'll tell you if they have the ingredients to make it. While waiting for my order, I saw two potential customers leave because the employee took too long to come to the window to take their order. My order was on point, made to order and delivered within minutes. You get to listen to oldies from the sidewalk vendor selling his Whittier Blvd-East Los shirts. Support local businesses and come to El Machin! read more

Raspados y Bionicos El Machin - This is a vanilla raspado with lechera bomb - Juice Bars & Smoothies Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Had the tacos with fresh home made tortillas with nopales, I was in heaven!! Today is a hot day so I had a raspado El Diablito - it was very refreshing! I thought it was going to be hot-spicy but it was rather good and sweet! I'm glad I had it. I also had a strawberry raspado. You might think it is simple but it was full of flavor and with pieces of fresh strawberry. read more

Attitude is absolutely horrible. I don't expect much, really - but some common courtesy like "hello" would be appreciated instead of "what do you want". The selection is OK nothing magical or special - your basic flavors of shaved ice. Don't expect much flavor as much of it is ice with very little flavoring syrup (think crushed ice instead of shaved ice). Skip this place and go to the one on Ford street or further down to Raspados Xpress on Whittier. Not worth the wait, lack of parking and the bad attitude. read more

I apologize if any of my drool seeps through the internet and appears on this Yelp review, but I LITERALLY CANNOT STOP THINKING ABOUT THESE RASPADOS! I was first introduced to this place by a friend many moons ago, and I've never looked back. I never would have thought an elderly lady in a truck could make magic on the fly like this. For anyone who hasn't been there in a bit, get excited because they've expanded their menu to include Plum and a few other great flavors. My go to is a mix of strawberry and vanilla. If I could have that for every meal with a guarantee that I wouldn't get diabetes within the week, I'd do it no questions asked. Prices have gone up just a bit, to about $4, but you get a very decent amount. This is probably one of my favorite desserts in the LA area, and I wouldn't hesitate recommending this place to anyone. The only issue I have with this place is that they don't deliver straight to my door :P Stay Cheerful ;) read more

Nice snack spot; Raspados, Bionicos, quesadillas & tortas. There's even an outside seating area so you can relax while enjoying your

Delicious Tostilocos! The fresas con crema are yummy as well. Must try if your in the area. read more

I got a carne asada burrito and it was the most disappointing Mexican food i could find in LA. The carne asada was ground beef, and they used white rice. I've had better burritos at chipotle. This was at the spoungebob themed truck. read more

Off to a terrible start. Haven't even tasted it yet, but ATTITUDE from the employee was like we had just kicked her dog. She says raspados only come in one size...ok...asked to have it split in two cups cause they're too big for one 'lil kid and were told it'd be $4 for another cup...a raza...attitude never improved, but at least we persuaded her to give us a Styrofoam cup to spilt the raspado. Tasted good, might have tasted great if not for the bad taste in my mouth from the wretched employee. Won't be back. read more

Raspados y Bionicos El Machin - Mango Diablito - Juice Bars & Smoothies Near Me - Los Angeles, California

This review is only for the Truck right outside the Wells Fargo Bank. Best raspados I've ever tasted! The coconut flavor is my favorite, they add lots of chunks of coconut. The raspados don't taste artificial which is awesome. Only reason I didn't give them 5 stars is because of the older lady who works there. If you get the misfortune of having her make your raspado she won't fill the cup all the way to the top, every other employee does. She does it to everyone, I've had several friends confirm this. I just avoid buying a raspado if she's the only one in the truck. read more

Best ever in EAST LA! They have a truck parked in front of the Target on Whittier Blvd. the raspados are literally sooooo good I always have the coconut and the fruit is always so fresh! The raspados are 4 bucks huge cup!!!! read more

Good portions and good prices. I got a $6 bag of fruit and about 16 oz fresh green juice for $5. Good deal!

Came here because I wanted an Agua Fresca... claims it's 24 hours. I got there around 12 and the lady says they are closed and that every thing was off already but the music was loud and the doors were open. I could see the agua Frescas there and still wouldn't make a sale.. read more

My boyfriend bought us the $6 bag of fruit and a $4 diablito. MUCH needed for a hot summer day! There was chopped mangos, jicama, cantaloupe, watermelon, cucumber, and coconut topped with tajin. I wish the coconut slices were ripe as the ones that we got were hard as a rock. The diablito was in a huge 24 oz cup with soft and meaty mango slices inside. Good to try at least once :) Cash only! read more

Came here on recommendation from another yelp. Interesting take on a cold fruit drink. I am not a huge fan of cream in my cold drinks in general but they managed to sell me on the idea. Of course they had mango which is part of my heart. Very large size. Prices were respectable. read more

Had the Diabilito from their food truck, parked a few spaces from the churro truck - so good! Ordered it not too spicy since I didn't know what the heat level was. Tangy, sweet and spicy drink with mango chunks and extra spices from the Chix stick that came with the drink. Will try the original version next time as well as their coconut smoothie. read more

Took so long to make me an orange juice . I thought it was just me being impatient, till I noticed several people left after waiting more than 10 minutes . Then ordered another juice & the lady asked me what were the ingredients . I should have canceled my order right then & there . So after paying $10 for both Juices I was disappointed to taste the juices . They were both diluted . Total disappointment . read more

Omg. I know i have only checked in twice here but i have visited this place at least once or twice a week. It is that good and my belly fat is showing it. Try the plum and coconut mix raspado it is the best. A bit pricy though but when something is good, the price is no concern. read more

Mangoneadas really good though I prefer chamangos. Sizable portion with chopped mangos.

Stopped here because of the vibrant colors of chavo del ocho mural. Couldn't resist fresh smoothies. I picked a vanilla and mango. They add ice, fresh fruits, and whatever other goodness they add. Got 2 for 8 bucks. Very cheap and refreshing. Well worth the stop to pick up and try. Recommend it. read more

This place deserves more than 5 stats. Amazing everything, it is absolutely The Man-El Machin of all places. It's hot, I'm going today for raspados read more

El Machin deserves 5+ stars based on their prices alone. I've been on a health-food kick lately, and have been making every damn effort to avoid caffeine. On a drive from a meeting, I decided to Yelp a smoothie location nearby, and El Machin being the first suggestion, I found myself quickly making a u-turn to head on over. My expectations were low, but they were blown away here. I asked for a carrot/beet/cucumber concoction, and the nice lady behind the counter went to work. This place obviously uses fresh fruit in their juices none of that yogurt/extra sugar/fruit juice crap, here you'll get the fruits of your choice in a refreshing drink. The best part? Their drinks are way underpriced, if I can get a few more folks interested, I think we should file a class action lawsuit against both Robeks and Jamba Juice for their price gauging on their half-assed drinks. At El Machin you will pay well under $5 for a fresh fruit juice. read more

best raspados ever. vanilla is bomb. bionicos good too. Everything is good. i recommend for everyone.

everything was great besides the creme to the bionicos the raspandos where great flavor and had fresh fruit ,

Oh my gosh. These guys have amazing coconut shaved ice!! Chunks and shreads of fresh coconut. Yummy! Also the quesadillas are amazing. A little spicey but amazing !! read more
