If you're in Chicago, you ride the El, but if you're on the Northside of Houston, you just go to El Kiosko. Definitely one of the best little stands for Mexican goodies, and well worth a trip. Wait times can be long, prices can be high, service isn't always friendly, but the goodies are delicious as expected. As others said, the employees do have attitudes and the wait time is endless, otherwise I may have given 5 stars. read more

El Kiosko - I'm a kios ko-owner - Desserts Near Me - Houston, Texas

I really wanted to like this place, but unfortunately it was a big disappointment. The food was below average for the price, service was slow and inattentive, and the overall experience just felt careless. Simple things were missed, and no effort was made to fix the issues once they were pointed out. For a spot that looks like it should deliver good food and decent service, it fell very short. There are plenty of better options nearby that actually value their customers. I won't be coming back. read more

They have amazing service and when attended they are pacient and wait for you to decide. plus they're food is delicious and when its to eat at the place it very sanitary and clean. read more

I got there before they closed on Thursday trying to spend like $100 on food only for them to tell me the kitchen was closed. The placed smelled like clorox inside. Literally the ladies working there had no interest in working. Si no quieren trabajar para que van. I literally have better service and communication from the homeless people on I-45 then this place. I rather drive to a small antojitos place then this place next time. So many options instead of this place. read more

El Kiosko - Chicharron Preparado #46 so good - Desserts Near Me - Houston, Texas

If I could give ZERO stars I would. The employees are rude and it takes forever to get your order. It's not clean and the freezer that the scoop the ice cream from looks dirty and gross. We have been going to El Kiosko for at least 10 years now... the prices of a cup of corn has increased by 2 fold. It used to be 3-4 dollars for a cup... it's now 8 dollars and some change. We ordered 3 cups of corn and it was $30!!! We might as well gone out to eat and had a full meal(rather than a snack size cup of corn) for what we paid. In the past we haven't gotten near enough spice in our corn(that's really what makes Mexican corn) and mentioned to the lady to make it spicy like menus states it will be ... she said that if we want it spicy we have to pay 50 cents extra ... on top of the astronomical $8 we were already paying! After 10 years of patronage we will NOT be returning to this El Kiosko or any other location in Houston. read more

i wanted to place an order over the phone, and Idk if the waitress was having a bad day or what but, it was no reason to treat me so crappy. she wanted to go back and forth complaining about how ppl have called earlier to order juices but they haven't picked up, I simply said i can't control how other people react, but I was 5 min away. I simply hung up. quise poner una orden por teléfono por un jugo, porque siempre hay línea a esta hr. y la seño bien encabritada me empezó a dar la queja k no iba a tomar mi orden k porque mucha gente antes que yo ordeno jugos y no los levantaron. pues yo que culpa tengo oiga yo solo quiero mi jugo, me tarde más en la llamada k en llegar, mejor le colgué. a un sacerdote con sus quejas. read more

Nice, clean establishment conveniently located off of Airline and 45. My coworkers shared how this place has really good juices and snacks so we decided to go there for lunch. I ordered the tortada with shredded chicken and a watermelon raspas. I'm usually not a fan of shredded chicken because the times I had it, it was dry; however, the shredded chicken here was cooked well. It came with some green salsa which made it spicy (on the menu it lets you know how spicy it is) but it made the tortada very very yummy. I definitely will get that try again. Also, the watermelon raspas was good too. It was a little pricey for a small. Recommend giving this place a try. read more

El Kiosko Has Amazing Service, Very Nice People, very clean. I recommend the El Explosion. It's a good place for a snack on the go. I ordered in Door Dash and my food was ready to go when I got there. read more

Unprofessional. They need new employees here. They literally don't make me not wanna come here. Hopefully they open another refresqueria around here so o I can go to that one and hope they have better customer service. read more

I went with 2 friends to get 3 elotes around 7:30pm. It was only one girl on duty, she ignored us completely and we notice that 2 people there was desperate waiting to get their order that they already payed. We wait exactly 5 minutes to see if she wanted to do something, but looks like she didn't wanted to be there, and she didn't wanted to take more orders. This place NEEDS to have a supervisor to make those girls work, other wise that place is going to lose a lot of money with that lazy people. read more

Man I went this place and I ask for la torta del chavo del 8 and is very expensive and once they give the torta, I understand why they call it el chavo! It was 2 pieces of small ham and two slices of tomato cream and two slices of avocado and lettuce I don't recommend this place is two expensive and the food quality is too poor!!! read more

I love everything here! The food and snacks are delicious and authentic. Try the Aguas Frescas and Elote you will not be disappointed. I also love their mangonada troles and bionicos. The staff is always friendly and quick with my orders. The place is clean and nice. If you are hungry or just craving a little treat this is the best place to go. You will literally will find everything here! read more

Damn these people take forever to process your order. Don't order the corn in a cup from here, they don't even bother to strain the water from the can it comes in. All around not sure what happened for the last couple of visits that I've made here, but service has gotten very bad. read more

I've been to 3 different Kiosko locations... This one is the closest to my house... I had the Cheese and blackberry ice cream, super delicious!! I can eat that daily! Strawberries and their house cream sauce.. Just amazing!!! I love everything they serve!.... The lady who took my order ask me what I wanted and then answered her cell phone with a personal call, pretty annoying... But After that she was very nice... The other girls where super sweet also... I recommend this place 100% read more

El Kiosko - So many choices :) - Desserts Near Me - Houston, Texas

Omg this place is amazing! The staff is great. I got there literally like 4 minutes before closing and they still took my order. Love it all! The customer service, the cleanliness, and the menu! read more

Sadly, had to dock a point today. Looks like they get overwhelmed by the lunch crowd. Came in at 12:45 on Tuesday afternoon and had to wait 15 minutes just for a Trole and about half of their flavors had apparently frozen too hard so they weren't able to serve the pina colada I was craving. Though the flavors are still good, expect possible delays or hiccups in their service. Still going back though, just earlier in the day. The cashier was super nice but the other person behind the counter seemed like she was hiding or taking to long to get orders out. They certainly need to work on their flow models. read more

Ordered 2 elotes, mangonada trole, and an agua de mango. Definitely not worth the 20+ mins wait. Don't bother ordering an elote they dont even strain it. There was 5 employees 1 of them literally stood there the whole time we were there didn't bother helping everyone else. read more

Great customer service, the people working here are really humble and nice, the food is amazing. If is your first time trying El kiosko I recommend this one. read more

We stopped here because I love white corn elote. I asked for a small amount of chile and they give me half a cup of chile. The nacho cheese for my kids nachos was cold. Total waste of time and money. read more

DO NOT COME HERE! Terrible service. Took 20+minutes to fulfill my order. When it finally came out it was horrible. The corn was bad, the Doritos were bad, the aqua was bad! Not one thing was good. Complete waste of money! All me and my girlfriend wanted was a quick snack before dinner. DO NOT COME HERE!!!! read more

F'ing suuuuuccccckkked!!!!!! Got a supreme hot dog extremely under cooked bacon, the elotes had to much water and way to much chile.

They have good desserts and snacks. Wish there were more then two people though working at a time.. since it does take a bit to get an order, if it's more then just one single item.. But other then that, it's a good place and lots of snacks or desserts to choose from. read more

ONE word: RASCIST Waiting 40 minutes for snowcone while watching 12 [Hispanic] people coming in AFTER us and getting their ice cream AND food is a bit ridiculous. They gave us the most rascist judgmental look ever. Then my change should of been $8.09, they said because they were short on pennies, they decided to give us $8 and a nickel, and NOT a dime..?? Lol I quite honestly don't care for the pennies nor nickel, it's how they handled the situation. They genuinely didn't want to process our order and give us our change whatsoever-which is sad. Chinese are people too, no need for the mean mugging looks and hostile attitudes. Notes for next time? I'm gonna carry a Fiesta bag and wear a Pancho! Ha! read more

Very good customer service. Price is not bad at all. I will wait in line at this place before I ever have to wait at flamingoes. You have to try the Pina & Explosion!! read more

Kiosko has some of my favorite snow cone flavors of all time! Love how friendly the staff is. Little to no wait everytime I go!!

I love love love their elote. The guy that was working that night was really nice. A+
