    a bowl of rice and chili
    Amber C.

    I had the elote . It was pretty good . I didn't realize it was only cash only so thankfully I had a few dollars on me . Haven't tried anything else . Might go again next time if I have a couple of dollars hanging around .

    We're here!

    Cute, quaint, cultural, delicious! A great local spot to visit on a Sunday afternoon, especially when it's hot. We ordered elote all the way around and a variety of snow cones. We'll be back to try all of the fresh fruit combos! We had elote and snow cones on our minds. Can sit outside on the deck with music, ceiling fans, and a great cross breeze.

    In line at Acapulco Tropical Located next to the Dollar tree.

    This place takes cash only which lucky enough I had but a huge inconvenience for me. Other than that this place had many options and their Mangonada was amazing! It was a mango sorbet with Chile and chamoy. I will definitely be coming back here again, their snow cones are amazing and good price for what you get.

    The corn is my favorite thing from here. Though overall is pretty good. Only down side is they only take cash. I'm not sure if now they do.

    It's 2023. No electronic payment is not good customer service. Waiting in line in the heat not to get to order. Unnecessarily unacceptable.

    Texas Shaved Ice Express on Barker Cypress definitely needs to be in heavy rotation this summer! If…read moreyou're looking for a local snowcone place around 77084 this is it. I've never been inside of this establishment and I have no idea what it looks like, but I've come to know there drive-through well. When you arrive at the drive-through, just slow down. They want you to scan the QR code posted along the drive-through walls and review the menu before you pull up to the window. This keeps the line moving and flowing so everyone knows what they want and have it figured out by the time you're able to place an order. Take the hint. I love that the menu has pictures and descriptions. Their menu has an impressive variety of shaved ice flavors, specialty creations, and add-ons, so there's something for everyone no matter what you're craving. The customer service is always excellent. The staff is genuinely friendly, welcoming, and helpful. If you're looking for a refreshing treat with great service and plenty of options to choose from, Texas Shaved Ice Express is my recommendation. Don't forget to get a stamp sheet for points and free treats.
