The best snow cone I have ever had. I don't like snow cones because of the messy nature of them but here the ice is so fine that it's like eating a slushy. They also make sure to have flavoring throughout the whole snow cone rather than just the top. Over all service was great the place is clean and presentable, just a 10/10. I'm happy I went read more

Authentic Mexican raspas!!!! Yes!! It's a small stand, but they make the most delicious snow cones. They are Mexican owned and have other items on the menu besides snow cones, like elote and aguas frescas. I got the medium size, half blue raspberry, half blue coconut, and it was only $2.50! Perfect for a hot day. Note: it is just a stand with only outside seating area. Plan to eat in your car or take it to go. Good prices and good snacks. 10/10 recommend read more

Houston heat had us grumpy and we needed to cool off! Being close to home I barely discovered. The shaved ice is so soft and in the heat a little to soft. I had a pineapple snocone with pickle dust or so; definitely tasty. The Tostitos chips with corn and cheese decent but not a must have. A little pricey for your buck. A try here and there is worth it. read more

The snow cones was good, the smell outside was terrible. I feel like that it was the sewer , however I had to walk on the opposite side away from the smell until my order was complete. The only thing we didn't like was how they made their elote. The hot Cheetos that's usually on the very top was under the corn. Never seen it done that way and it didn't taste that great. The service was cool, they were very patient and nice . read more

AMAZING SNOWCONES, unlike anything I've ever had before. You will be disappointed if you don't get the crema on top. I had the Wedding Cake and White Leche which was pretty great but the Root Beer and White Leche my mom ordered was even better. You cannot go wrong here as a small is only $2.50 and fills you up like a medium. I recommend 2 flavors and the crema or condensed milk on top. Most of my family ordered Medium sized snow cones and destroyed them. I will be going back!!! read more

How did it take me so long to visit?? This place surpassed all expectations and is my new favorite after just one visit. I got a perfect pina colada snow cone (with soft ice that both required no spoon stabbing and didn't melt immediately in the Texas heat) and elote en vaso. Definitely the best elote I have EVER had in Houston! Dang, maybe I'll go back tomorrow! The logo is cute too- maybe next time I'll see if they have t-shirts or hats.... read more

I'm mad that it has taken me so long to get over here. This place has alllllll the snacks. I love their remix to the traditional elote. They add mozzarella to it, which definitely gives it an extra layer of flavor and dimension. I also tried this thing with hot Cheetos, pickles, and chamoy. Can't recall the name of it, but it's awesome!! Spicy but very awesome. There's also these gummy candies in mango, watermelon, and pineapple, all with chili on them. Soo good. Reminded me of growing up and eating Lucas on the school bus. Lol. The snow cone was good too. It was tamarindo with coconut. The guy suggested it, and was spot on. If you try it, ask for the cream on top. The guy (I think his name is arnold.) was super nice and allowed me to sample some stuff before I made my selections. This place is pretty good. I plan to return soon. I only have on suggestion, all of the candies should come in a ziploc or some plastic wrap, instead of a styrofoam cup. read more

I grew up eating raspas at this place. I was bummed that they little Mickey Mouse sign was taken down recently but the quality of the snow cone is still the same. I moved away from Houston 25 years ago and came back a couple of years ago and as soon as I got back, I headed over to this little stand and found myself feeling all of the feeling of my childhood. I used to ride in the back of the stationwagon or truck of my neighbors every week and we would head over to grab a raspa to ease the day. I always get the Mango with Crema. Love it!!! read more

I visited here frequently and I'm sad to see it shut down. Kazzan ramen in Osaka is a bit north of the main hub of Osaka, but one can hope they continue to try to spread their magic elsewhere. It was touching to see they'd trained (at least some) the staff to incorporate some of the tradition you'll see when in Japan such as greeting and goodbyes, even understanding phrases such as "okaikei onegai shimasu." Having lived in Japan, it was a nice touch. Food & Drink Kazzan ramen is an absolute delight. The stone bowl is so hot and keeps your ramen warm for the entire time you're enjoying it. They offer shio, shoyu, karamiso ramens. I personally loved the karamiso though their limited edition spicy version was great if looking for some heat. For appetizers, the black pepper edamame was a standout. Flavors of toasted sesame, maybe a touch of soy, with black pepper - . The cocktails were always delicious. They always had elevated cocktails with custom syrups and bitters. Definitely nice to see unique Japanese ingredients being incorporated into the cocktail scene. Service The service was always great, very attentive. Never had a want or need go long without being addressed. Staff was always making th rounds collecting plates, filling water, making sure you have everything. Pricing The ramen was a bit pricey even for US standards, which likely contributed to struggles but it was still delicious and worth visiting. I think a few bucks cheaper would have probably gone a long way. Or offering bundled pricing with cocktails or drinks to encourage more revenue while discounting. Though, I don't find it coincidental that this location has been plagued by multiple establishments not making it. That would indicate onerous lease rates and a potentially shrewd landlord. Overall This place will be missed and for anyone that does get a chance to visit them elsewhere, you won't regret it!

We also tried the yellowtail aguachile with roasted poblano and sunflower seed za'atar, which was just okay--nothing particularly memorable. For my entrée, I ordered the burger and specifically asked for the aioli on the side. Unfortunately, it came on the burger, and there was so much of it that it completely overpowered everything else.

This is a place I had no intention of having but I have every intention of returning to. I live…read moreoutside the city and happened to be doing some work in the city at the time and decided I wanted a dessert and this gem is what I found. THANK YOU!! The service was great as I'm a big question asking person and the owner answered all of my questions as well as helped me to place my order. They were located near one of the trails for Hermann Park, right in front of McGovern Centennial Gardens. It was a great location that was easy to find. I'm somewhat skeptical when it comes to places doing other little things like this that have a spin on something that works. Usually the spin is different but not necessarily better or even a real change. This is not that. The donut cone is actually a plus to the ice cream cone experience. It's a soft sweet thing that adds to it. Donuts in particular are something that to me are almost never as good, ie: donut burgers, but it works here. I personally enjoy a sweet donut so their donut cone is good but could actually be a little sweeter for me. They offer a split, cone and sundae with all of them including a variation of the doughcone. I ordered the Handmade DoughCone to keep things simple. The cone has a hole at the bottom but it's plugged with a strawberry to prevent leakage, which is just a bonus. The flavors of the ice cream and toppings is really part of what shined for me. I'm not sure if they make their own ice cream or not but it tasted like a good quality ice cream to me. The ice cream is a fresh vanilla bean, and I'm sure some would want more ice cream flavors but vanilla bean is one of my favorites so it's great for me. I meant to do this review a while ago so I'm not 100% on some of the toppings, but here's what I believe I had. O got either the cookie butter sauce or the strawberry dream drip sauce. It could've been both though honestly knowing me. I don't remember what the secret sauce was at the time I went there. I don't remember what the secret luxury topping was but I got the churro dust and crushed Oreos, as well as some fresh strawberries. Everything was delicious!! All of the toppings worked well together, and as I said it was all with a good ice cream. Getting to eat the doughcone along the way was just the "cherry on top" if you will. It was a good blend of soft but sturdy to hold up everything. I specifically travelled to find this place and after eating it, I can proudly say I'd travel again. Great customer service with great offerings will always be the key to earning me as a repeat customer.

I actually enjoyed both ice cream and the dough cone sitting in the shade. On that day, they were giving away toasted marshmallow. Aw so sweet.

There weren't very many people there, and the orders I heard people give were very basic, but it took the two employees forever to fill them. There was no sense of urgency or regard for the people baking in the sun. Our snowcones were good, but I've honestly had much better. If you're in the area on the brink of a heat stroke, I'd recommend it. However, if you're up for a bit longer of a drive ask me and I can set you up RIGHT!

The burger was really good. The pattie appeared homemade and well seasoned. Just enough lettuce, mayonnaise, mustard, onion, pickles and tomatoes. Then the Frito Pie had great chili and cheese. We added jalapeños and we believe the Fritos were Chili Cheese flavored which took it up a notch. Finally the Pineapple w/cream snow cone didn't taste like pineapple but it was a nice, sweet, refreshing treat. We enjoyed it and will definitely go back.
