I had a wonderful experience here! I had elote and the mango fruit cup with chamoy for the first time. I think I'm hooked! I definitely recommend checking them out!

I came here to visit for a cultural visit for my Spanish class and I’m glad I went here! I loved everything! The brightly colorful store and the nice workers, one of which recommended the Queso ice cream which was delicious! The elote was delicious too! Very great prices! I’ll be back!

This place is conveniently located within walking distance of my house and has an amazing, insanely large menu. It would have taken me forever to photograph everything they have available. I’m sure if you stop by they’ll have whatever it is you’re craving. From Aguas, Chips, Candy, Paletas, Raspas, Nachos, Elotes, Mangonadas, Ice Cream, Fruit and SO MUCH MORE! Every time I’ve stopped by I’ve had a great experience. The staff is very friendly and patient. I’ve seen the line wrap around the store lots of times so be sure to have some patience when dropping by. Tonight’s visit was very calm and I only had to wait in line for a short while. You pay for everything inside but your Raspas, Nachos and Elotes are made outside in the front patio. They only have outdoor seating. This place will definitely remain a frequently visited place while I live in the area.

Great place to get corn, usually where I go corn has this water boiled taste to it which I’m not a big fan of, I’m more of a roasted corn. This place has great corn despite it coming from water it has that roasted corn taste and they are not shy or stingy with toppings as well!! I come here more than 3x a week just to swing by and grab a corn, ITS ONLY $5 !?!??

This little family owned local gem has become one of my favorites! The food is so tasty and definitely healthy with fruit or veggies in mainly everything they serve. The Fresca Con Crèma is delicious and light! The Mexican Street Corn with toppings is delicious as well and that fresh corn will have you coming back every time! I’m not a fan of the cortija cheese, but you can ask that they not put it on there. Now-, this is a Hispanic Owned Business, but they are so welcoming and inviting. It is definitely family oriented so please don’t come with the drama, and I’m quite sure they will not tolerate it as well “respectfully”. I definitely look forward to bringing my children one day (once Covid-19 is not so prominent) to sit out and experience their culture and food. Again, it’s VERY FAMILY ORIENTED, in which I adore , and I hope it stays that way. The prices are completely affordable and I truly recommend you try this gem-, it will definitely be worth it! Some of the workers there speak English well, while others may not, so be “patient” .

The way their chamoy snow cones have a CHOKE HOLD on me. I get with the spicy Chile on top and they always layer with lemon juice and Chile powder. My 10 year old son always eats half my snow cone! He loves it, too! Their corn cup and cup of mango is also a classic and a must buy! Great prices and selections and always fresh fruit. I go to this place at least once a week
