    All the cute little details. Love the comments box

    Finally tried out this spot that's literally a hidden gem. They were not busy at all when I came in; no one inside sitting down or ordering which was nice (didn't feel sketchy at all tbh). The cashier was still very enthusiastic when I was ordering and although I am fluent in Spanish, sometimes I just want to order in English so I was very happy to find that the cashier was very fluent in English as well. I decided to come in because I reeeally wanted a fresh fruit cup and I really wasn't sure if they served it here but I thought, eh worth a try. So glad I tried it out because they definitely did have fruit. Prices were a little steep but you definitely get a bang for your buck.

    I came here specifically for the elote that I heard amazing things about. It did not disappoint! This was literally the best elote I have ever had! The place was really cute inside as well and there was an option for yellow corn or white corn which was cool. I can't wait to come back to try the icecream!

    Tarascos is always a hit. They do not skimp out and always have the most amazing flavors. The paletas are all refreshing on a hot day and the snacks look fire! Will definitely be back as usual.

    Very friendly service. They were very helpful with our questions. It's very clean and the decor is nice. We got the Cookie Monster icecream and the mangonada which were both great. My kids just got mexican vanilla icecream on a cone and strawberry icecream on a cone which they enjoyed too. I did not know it was a thing but I also tried the hot Cheetos with warm queso cheese which was actually pretty good too.

    I love Tarascos, it's a hidden gem! My favorite things to get are the churros a la mode and an ice cream cone (try the mocha crunch flavor- it's my favorite thing ever now.) Super relaxed vibe, staff are always nice and chill. Also- the cone in this pic is a medium but it took the combined efforts of me and a friend to finish. Can you imagine how there's an even bigger one offered??? All of this for $9! Love u Tarascossss

    Always a good time at Tarascos. Located in a seedy street center, Tarascos is anything but questionable. Love the huge variety of cream popsicles or icesicles. There are traditional flavors, unique flavors and comfort flavors of a south of the border spin. Tarascos can always be counted on a tasty treat on any day. The staff is quick and efficient and pricing is right where it should be. However their chocolate banana, while one of my favorites, has had its price more than double of the past few years. The place is pretty clean, particularly since they have sugary and sticky treats, its very well maintained. We will always make a stop at Tarascos, maybe you should too.

    Cute little shop with homemade ice cream and paletas. All the flavors tasted so good! I had the passionfruit and condensed milk paleta, and my sister had the coconut. Full of flavor and can't wait to go back and try more flavors! Workers were nice enough to take the time and explain different flavors Seating areas are available Will definitely be back!!!

    Lychee, mango, kiwi strawberry paletas

    My favorite ice cream shop in all of Houston! The workers are kind, efficient, and provide great customer service.

    It's too risky to be tarascy.

    Now because of COVID all I see are lots of MASK HOS Used to hit on all of them now I can barely ASK HOS For their numbers, COVID makes me not up to the TASK HOS So instead I grab a Guava Lolly at TARASCOS Went to San Sebastian and met a lot of BASQUE HOS Walked around with alcohol like all these other FLASK HOS I can't yelp while drinking I'm not like those MULTITASK HOS But for Paletas I head directly to TARASCOS! WHAT! This is a really amazing local ice cream shop that has all kinds of incredible Latin and international flavours. My fave is the sensational Guava Paleta, made with big chunks of fruit like most of the real and authentic homemade Paletas here, but their ice cream is popular, is tropical, and is well worth a try too. They do a really amazing job of making their products exciting and delicious and fun, and they have been thrilling the Westchase Community for quite a long time. Definitely one of the better ice cream shops in the Greater Houston area, and also extremely original and impressive. Down in Houston, the Rockets are "The Team" But desserts here aren't always as good as they seem Yet I know a Latin treats place that tastes like a dream Come and get some at Tarasco's Ice Cream! Five stars is the score that I will duly deem Suitable for your Queen and Prince Naseem Tastes so yummy they should come up with a Meme About the perfect flavours of Tarasco's Ice Cream! WHAT!

    I came in on a Friday afternoon. Overall, the atmosphere was cute, and I love the ambiance of the room. There was only one worker that I met, and it was a slow afternoon. She recommended the tres leches flavor ice cream to go with my "Churros a la mode" order, and that flavor was delicious. The only downside was the restrooms. They are located in the back, and the hallways to get back to them were dark, and cramped. But it didn't put me down in the slightest. Overall, if I can, I would love to come back here again..

    This place is so yummy! Their tres leches ice cream is one of the best I've ever had. It's a small place but it makes up for it in flavor. I'm definitely a fan!

    Took my grandkids here and they absolutely loved it! They could not finish it all in their tiny 1 scoop bowl I got a split scoop absolutely wonderful! And Homemade Palettes

    Tres Leches ice cream--soooooo freaking good!!

    Amorino is one of my favorite gelato spots! Any time I am near galleria area craving something…read moresweet I stop by amorino. 9 times out of 10 they are open so it's convenient and good quick self service to order. They are open until 11pm weekdays and on the weekends close at midnight. Your cone can be made to a flower shape. This became very popular and since then has remained busy. The line usually goes fast, if you see a line don't worry it won't take long. Worth the wait & price. Greta variety in flavors and cute indoor but small. The best thing to do is the grab and go walk around.

You can't go wrong with any of their flavors, but my favorites are pistachio and the Amorino chocolate. I tried their hot dark chocolate too, and it was the thickest hot chocolate I have ever had, and it was definitely dark. I would probably go for a milk hot chocolate if you want something sweeter but equally While the quality, service, and flavors from both locations are consistent, the River Oaks/Highland location has a nicer vibe to it, and appeared more well-kept, although it has very limited seating. The Galleria location is located in the middle of the mall, has more dining space, but the seating area was not as clean as the River Oaks location when I visited.

Consequently, Yelpers should not be surprised the…read moreparking is mostly in paid lots, just like in every major city in the US--Cocos does not deserve to lose a star for this as in some reviews that brought down their average. You may order online, in shop through a tablet, or with a person at the register. We used the register because we did not see the tablet and did not want to order ahead online. The ladies who helped us on our visit were very nice. You get a number and they call it when your made to order food is ready. We did not have to wait long. There was medium to low noisy ambiance. It was deserted when we arrived, but they have relatively loud background music. While we were eating it got pretty crowded. Mostly a lot of young people in the middle of the day on a Monday. The inside is small, seating both inside and outside are limited and close together. One lady was studying with her laptop, but there are no plugs. The breakfast sandwich is customizable. We got it on a croissant and with sausage. The eggs had a unique texture and the sandwich a unique flavor that we could not place, but both were very tasty. We also wanted a crepe, but we split the sandwich and it was sufficient. We also got a small mocha and a decaf, both were ok to good. We would definitely come back again and recommend that you give them a try for a crepe or sandwich. It is sad that a few Yelpers brought down their average to 3.8 stars due to petty and unjustified complaints such as having to pay for parking downtown. Other complaints are not the business' fault such as periodic homelessness--it is a downtown area in the US, other cities have far worse homelessness than Midtown Houston and we saw none on this visit. Additionally, complaints about takeout orders are mostly petty. Takeout is never as good as eating at the restaurant and so customers should adjust their expectations rather than dock the business stars. Nearly every recent Yelp review for this who ate at the restaurant gave 4-5 stars for food quality and customer service. Like most of the restaurants in this area it is a pretentious yuppy style place with specialized food. Although not usually our type of place (we like down to earth hole in the wall places with good food or taco truck type restaurants), Coco's is a solid 4 star restaurant for the type of place they are and they offered a 5 star experience on our visit. Again, recommend you give them a try if you are in the mood for crepes or sandwiches.
