    Fresas con crema

    If you need a healthy refreshment on a hot day and you are in the South Bay, Stop on it at Botanas Locas! The friendly staff will serve you up quick whether you're craving an acai bowl or a freshly squeezed, revitalizing juice. Check out the local art on the interior, setting a positive vibe from entry to departure!

    Got there right as they opened and it was busy already. They have a super extensive menu with great look stuff but we went to try the tostiloco bar! Such a new and cool concept if you're looking to try something new and customize your tostilocos with different chips and toppings

    Quiero dejar una reseña porque se me hizo súper pésimo el servicio que recibí hoy. 8/29/25 aprox. 8:30 pm. La mujer que atendía en la caja, se portó muy amable y se nota que apenas va empezando porque no estaba muy segura de varias cositas. Le pedí un rasclamato y mientras me estaba cobrando la mujer de en medio le dice que lo cobre picosito; lo cual se me hizo muy bizarro porque es lo que siempre pido cada que voy y nunca me han cobrado extra. Aclaro que no es por el dinero sino, en mi opinión, querer poner cargos innecesarios. A lo que yo le respondí que como que extra si se supone que estoy pidiendo un rasclamato, que en su descripción dice claramente "clamato preparado". Porque sería necesario un cargo extra que no estoy pidiendo? Total que me dieron mi orden pero sin la banderilla. A lo cual me regresé y le comenté a la muchacha que no me puso banderilla y me dice que el rasclamato no lleva banderilla. Le dije "como me vas a cobrar picosito pero no me vas a dar lo que pague" y la mujer me volvió a repetir que así se cobra pero no se da, a lo que yo le volví a alegar y no le quedó de otra más que decir pásamelo y ponerle la banderilla. Vuelvo y repito no se trata del dinero si no en la manera tan despota y engañosa de hacer las cosas. Espero y ese tema se aclare porque no se me hace justo y menos en la actitud asquerosa de la mujer. Si no les gusta trabajar con gente deberían de buscar otro trabajo. Yo he tenido varios empleos con servicio al cliente y jamás me he portado así con nadie. Aclaro también que si el dueño tiene cámaras podría ver que en ningún momento me porte grosera a pesar del pésimo servicio que recibí. Espero y me reseña sea un motivo para mejorar el servicio y la manera en la que hacen su trabajo.

    I actually really like this place. Good prices, the guy that is normally there is very nice. As well as the owner. The only issue I would say I have is the guy that is normally there by himself doing everything; handling money. And working in the back. He never wears gloves and I don't see a visible hand washing station and so I question how often hand hygiene is probable?. Since everything is done in the back you can't really know what he touches. There's a small window but it only shows the person in the back from the shoulders up. So I think the guy should wear gloves and after he touches money or the register needs to wash his hands or change gloves if he's wearing any. You don't know as well if someone may have an allergy to something. Last thing you'd want is for someone to be sick.

    Chamango had perfect amount of chamoy
    Espy M.

    I was craving a raspado on a Saturday Night at 835 pm to be exact . Most places are closed at this time ... SMH - but yelped saved the night . I found this place which was open until 9 ... We walked in here about 7 minutes before closing time and the 2 gentlemen working provided incredibly customer service... I was impressed about them not turning us away since they were likely almost done with closing chores and ready to go home. I ordered a Spicy (picosito) Tamarind raspado and a chamango and both were perfectly prepared. Raspado was not under or over spicy nor too sweet- I was able to finish it all without getting s stomach ache. The Chamango was equally delicious - it had the right amount of chamoy and was able to enjoy the blended mango without the sour chamoy over powering this mango slushy. We will be back to taste banana , walnut, eggnog raspados and an escamocha & will update post when I do :) Thank you for your superb customer service and delicious Raspados and Chamango !

    It's a cute, Busy place but totally worth it! They have the best gansito milkshake, and the way you prepare your Tostilocos is bomb! They have a lot of good stuff on the menu, this place is a go to.

    Chamango chico

    I was a little nervous because it's hard to find a good mexican snacks place that doesn't just have a bunch of sugar and fake ingredients. This Chamango was EVERYTHING!!! From the perfect thicc smoothie texture to the FRESH mango on top it was perfection. Haven't tried anything else but after this first AMAZING experience, I will go back! Muchas gracias!!

    Pretty nice place Connected to a food spot as well so you can order a meal and something to drink. You can get a healthy variety as well as options like delicious snacks. Right next to a really good pizza spot. I love the fresh drinks they have here. Good pricing too! It's a good spot everyone would like

    Large Chamango. I asked for light Chamoy because I'm pregnant again and get heartburn easily lol.
    Kariza C.

    It's been years since my husband and I have been here, but we had to make the drive down because I'm pregnant again and was craving a Chamango. The only thing that has changed is the interior design and new additions to the menu. My first kiddo loves the new additions to the menu. (She got Cotton Candy ice cream with whip cream and sprinkles.) The service is 5/5 even after all these years, which we really appreciate. The owner asked us if we had any questions as soon as we walked in and he even followed up when we were almost done eating to see how we liked our dessert. My family & I will always support this spot and will be back to try their new menu options.

I wanted to grab some delicious and refreshing treats and found this place on Yelp with incredible reviews and had to give it a shot. First of all, you'll need to resist the temptation to order EVERYTHING on the menu because you could easily eat and drink your way through the whole thing. I went with the mangonaeda and bought one for me and one for my son. The nachos looked awesome and while it wasn't exactly in the "refreshing" category, a boy's got to eat right? The fruit was delicious and the chamoy straw is always a treat. I'll be honest, I almost didn't make it back to camp with the second drink because it was that good. Now let's talk about the nachos. Don't you hate it when you see an incredible pile of nachos and all the topings and goodies are on top and they're virtually never and more layered throughout the chips and by the time you get to the bottom, you've just got dry chips? I hate that. Well apparently these fine folks didn't read that recipe book and there were so many jalapenos and so much cheese I actually ran out of chips before I ran out of the toppings. It was an epic snacking experience. Keep up the fine work you're doing here and I can't wait to see you again.

There's a plethora of spots just like this one that share the Mexican Frutería niche but will attend you better and with less of a hassle. The prices are expensive and the service is mediocre. I've consistently waited awkwardly in line for minutes on end despite the fact that there is 3 employees in the back doing a whole lot of nothing and their penny pinching has just bugged me out because they still have the nerve to overcharge items and upcharge card processing fees all while screwing the consumer. Their business model isn't good and I try not to judge on first impressions but they've let me down on multiple different ocassions. This time, we went for some tostilocos after we had a sudden craving for them after eating at Tacos el Güero next door (Check their adobada 99¢ tacos!!) and were let down by their lackluster flavor as well as the lacking chacachacas. We paid 8 dollars, 160 god forsaken pesos for some wack tostilocos that weren't worth the time or money we spent on them. Not only that, but I went back to ask if they had chacachacas and the girl had the audacity to say they did but if I wanted some she'd have to charge me extra. Stingy ahhh ho keep your chacachacas, matter fact keep everything cause I'm never back to this place again. The food isn't particularly bad but the vibes and energy is off. I wish I could like this place but the employees and the policies just suck and it's the kind of small business that you really can't support. It's not being ran properly and the business model just isn't up to par with other nearby options that execute it significantly better so goodbye Mango Manila, it's been a displeasure.
