    Go see Kenia! Makes amazing juices. All fresh fruit & veggies! They make all kinds of goodies!!

    Rex C.

    I have to give 5 stars because everything is really fresh here! The people here are really nice too. After eating some really unhealthy greasy ass jets pizza I had to get some green juice to counter act that lol. I got their "special green juice" really good! 7.00 and some change. I can make this at home with my vitamix for a lot cheaper but sometimes you just don't feel like doing it so you have to pay a premium. The special green juice is really good and really fresh! I've also had their trules. Which is like a snow cone or shaved ice. Really good! They also have nachos with jalapeños. Great fruit Bowls with the Mexican chili. Lots of good fresh fruit to be had here. Do yourself a favor and stop in. You will not be disappointed. Also some days they can get really packed so be prepared to wait a few minutes.

    Explosión + vanilla, Oreo & chocolate ice cream.... delicious

    Great quality and friendly service!!! Excellent flavor! It's Sunday so it took a little time to get it, but totally worth it

    I asked the lady, who was nice by the way, that took my order which fruit salad had cottage cheese she said #14. It has everything she mentioned except the cottage cheese what I really wanted with my fruit. Been here a couple of times, the service has always been good. Tried calling the phone number online but it seems like they answer & hang up. After a couple of calls it sounds disconnected. Not sure what's going on with that but I'd really like to get my fruit replaced. With all the ingredients that it comes with.

    Sitting area

    Walked in an hour before closing and the 3 girls working spoke in Spanish chatting amongst themselves for several minutes without a single hello to me and my daughters. I finally said hello and she asked if I was ready. Yes we are. Is that going to be okay to pull you away from your conversation for a moment? I've cream was gritty and even chocolate had a weird taste to it. It was a bummer since we had a place just like this we would go to all the time before we moved to Texas. I'm sure there's other good ones but I definitely wouldn't come back here.

    It's always busy, especially on the weekends. I've never tried the actual food, but I always get a different flavor of troles so I can try a little bit each time. They also let you sample some flavors, and all the employees are very nice. They speak mostly Spanish, but they'll understand what you want :). It takes a little while for your order to come out if it's not busy. We waited 30 minutes for our orders on a busy day. But since it's so cheap, it's totally worth the wait! And it doesn't melt as fast as ice cream does. You can also put two flavors in one cup. By the way, the blue trole is vanilla flavor!

    I went here recently with my family and we had a great experience! The customer service here was amazing and everyone was friendly. We got nachos, a fruit bowl with lime and chili, and a coconut/pineapple shaved ice cup! For the shaved ice I would recommend going with a small cup because it really is a lot. Everything tasted great and when the employee accidentally made me a mango/pineapple shaved ice cup she apologized and remade it for me. I would definitely recommend you check this place out! Update: I just saw a review that reminded me of how the employee at the cash register yelled at a group of us to get in a line. She said "Everybody get in a line! Don't crowd around the door!!" I wasn't too upset because it was a huge group of us but if it was just my family and I, I would've been really upset and not eaten there. I don't know why she gets so upset about the lines. If it's such a big deal say it calmly.

    Wooowwww so deelish!

    I'm glad I stopped by and tried this place it is a super great spot with lots of great snacks if you don't know what something is they explain to you exactly what it is and your choices and how you can play around with different items great way to stick to clean eating! It's like a mini concession stand lol

    Coconut shaved ice. Just like the beach vendors in PR
    Danielle R.

    Prices are reasonable. And portions are generous. The shaved ice creams brought me back to PR with the cart vendors on the beach. Loved it. There's so many choices and flavors and they even have food. This place has it all and the place is packed which shows how much it's well loved. This definitely took me back down memory lane and hit the spot tonight.

    If you're looking for a fruit cup (really served in a bowl) come here. This place is like your typical raspa stand, but I was pleasantly surprised to see that they sold tortas and other types of entrees as well. They have a big selection and you can also build your own fruit cup. I would have given them five stars but the grapes in my fruit cup weren't that fresh (and grapes stay firm for a while) and they were a literal pricy with the fruit. I did love the Chile powder as well!! I will definitely come back, I missed going to a place like this.

    A delicious menu.

    El Kiosko Frutas Y Helados What a refreshing treat! If you guys like that salt and chili flavor, do try it with shaved ice. What you get is a cup of shaved ice with the Mexican Tamarind Candy paste/syrup inserted in the middle. Gives each spoonful a great "what the heck... but I liked" feeling. Yep! My friends and I found a new sweet spot! We shall be back.

    Mangonada explosion is awesome!!!! Huge chunks of fresh mango, tamarind, Lucas, chamoyada, and mango sorbet. This is an intense drink. Very unique

    No shame in my game

TLDR: Thar food, those ritas. This place has become my most recent go-to when that little voice says - "pssst....Dave....Dave....i know you hear me....you want fajitas." Admittedly, I hear that voice a lot. In any case, I usually order the fajitas. They give you a decent quantity that tastes great. The meet is tender and flavorful and those tortillas had me at hello. I love this stuff! My son elects to go for the cheese enchiladas. I don't have to ask him how much he likes them because is a super picky eater and this is the one place where he actually cleans his plate. The margaritas are solid as well and when you glance around the restaurant, you'll see them on most tables. This place is a well oiled machine. There are plenty of staff and they all work unison to bring drinks / chips / salsa / refills / orders / food -- and that food usually comes out before I can feel guilty for eating chips, salsa, and queso. I found this trick that works for me. Since I 100% of the time feel guilty for leaving the place feeling so full, I started parking on the other end of the parking lot. This allows my to burn off 2.7 calories of the food that just ate so I feel 2.7 percent less guilty. On a serious note - this place is the real deal. While some of my previous favorites have either closed down or gone downhill a bit - Julio's has remained strong. ¡Salud!

All of our items were fresh and delicious! I was enchanted by the atmosphere and presence of the owner and her family. We have already been back for a different special on this week's menu! We especially love the creamy poblano corn empanadas. We fought over one last time, but this time we each got our own. The waitstaff we have had both times is very sweet, but does not speak or understand English very well and was unable to really help us decide this second time, so we just took her recommendation. One of the items she recommended, the Huarachon, was not my favorite, but the other items were very good. We would have especially enjoyed some interaction with the chef-owner or the gentleman who seems to be her husband, since it did not seem very busy at the time, but they simply said "hello". Hopefully next time! And there will be a next time!

The chicken flauta was good. I wasn't a fan of the beans and rice nor the Chile Relleno. The cheese is just shredded mozzarella basically not the actual cheesy find in a Chile Relleno.
