    Very good service! Everything was quick, easy, and delicious. The staff was very friendly and welcoming, and they made sure we had everything we needed. Our food came out fast, fresh, and tasted amazing. I really appreciated how attentive the service was without making us feel rushed. The restaurant had a nice atmosphere, and everything seemed clean and well taken care of. Overall, I had a great experience and would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for good food and quick service!

    Best raspas on this side of Houston! Fast and friendly customer service. Drive thru moves pretty quick and there's so many items to choose from. Also had plenty of covered outdoor seating.

    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.

    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.

    Excellent service, quality of peanut butter sundae! Try the Buckeye ice cream flavor. Young lady…read morewaiting on 15 people so patient and she was the cashier too. Impressive! Maybe add a couple of more tables inside and a water cooler?

    I was visiting friends in Katy on a hot Texas day and we decided we wanted to get some ice cream. I…read morehad heard about this spot, and had been meaning to check it out. Handel's is an ice cream parlor that boats a wide variety of classic and signature flavors. Look online at the website for a list of their flavors The interior is pretty spacious. Nothing flashy, in fact it feels like a cold and industrial space with limited colors and decor. The menu is posted above the order counter. The staff will give you samples of whatever flavors you want to try The staff were friendly and helpful. We got our samples and orders in a timely manner Some tips: You can order to-go and even order through delivery services like DoorDash They have ice cream by the cup, cone, shakes, sorbets, sundaes, etc. they also have an overran flight if you want to try 4 different flavors Feedback to the store: It would be more appealing to allow you to mix and match flavors when you're getting even the small because it's a lot of scoops, and my whole group likes the flavors we landed on, but we all agreed it was too much of one flavor Someone in our group got brownie bits on their Sunday and mentioned that there were toppings, but we couldn't see any posted anywhere. If toppings are an option it would be great to see what is available and pricing Also, I don't know if it was the ice cream consistency, but my small looked so much smaller than everyone else's. Theirs were visibly stocked scoops of three and mine looked like a pathetic squat one scoop. It would be nice if it was more standard There's some seating inside, but it didn't look like much and it didn't look comfortable. There was a nice covered patio area in front of Chipotle, but we didn't feel comfortable sitting there. It would be nice to have that option out front of Handel's as well or signage saying that other section is shared Cheers!! Nick
