Needed a cold drink, saw this on the other side of the road, pulled a Uey. (Actually, there are many turn lanes crossing the median in this stretch.)
It's a tiny old-school ice cream stand, done up in tropical/surfer garb. There was a taco truck beside it, but I'd had lunch. The menu is somewhat Latin American, but there are the usual favorites too. They had signs for a "mangolada," and though I didn't know what it was I got one. I usually go for the specialty of the house- there's often a reason for its being one. I assumed it would be something like a pina colada with mango added, but no: mango juice, lime juice, mango chunks, and hot pepper powder on the rim and throughout the drink. Not very hot, just a tingle, mostly cold and refreshing just with a little zip. Perfect on a warm spring day.
Service was fast and friendly. Prices are good. Parking could be tight at busy times, so be careful. Definitely a place I'd visit a lot when in town. read more
