I came about a minute before 8 which apparently is the official closing time which I realize is cutting it close but there was still people inside and I walked in and they told me it was closed. Which is fine but at least lock the door then. Also the time here on yelp is wrong. Also the service was very rushed and the lady seemed frustrated. read more

El Raspadito - Shaved Ice Near Me - Riverside, California

Oh my gosh it was AWESOME! It was my first time trying raspados and now I understand why everyone loves it so much! The owner was incredibly friendly and kind too. Try the coconut and walnut; it's a perfect combination. Very sweet. :) read more

The first drink I got was not the taste I was expecting, & the owner noticed right away from the look on my face He offered to replace it since it was my first time visiting this place, & that's just great customer service! He was very nice about it, & we even ended up buying two drinks instead of just the one we originally wanted because he gave us some samples, too! Great, cool drinks for hott Riverside days! read more

First time coming here !!!'n loved the great customer service and great help because I had no idea what to get loved my treats I'm sure coming back read more

One of the most authentic flavors you'll fine. Everything is made with fruit not the concentrated stuff and the snacks are great too. Favorite is the raspado pina y coco and sandia y mango. You can add chile to any of them if you can take the heat. read more

El Raspadito - Watermelon and mango - Shaved Ice Near Me - Riverside, California

See all

Very good place to try! I tried the Chamango which was very good and also the Esquite. Finally a place that doesn't use frozen corn! Lol The staff was very friendly and efficient. I even got a sample. I would definitely recommend this place and will be back. read more

The raspados are very refreshing made with natural fruits and the service is really good!

Just moved to riverside and I'm glad I found this close by, the ladies were awesome with their customer service and made sure all my prego cravings were satisfied. I ordered a raspado tamarindo with coco and it was the best combo ever! Also cheese nachos. Just wished they had tables and chairs to sit I wanted to eat it right away read more

Been here a few times and its always tasty. The bionicos are always made with the freshest fruit and the guava cream that they make to top the fruit is the best... it's not too sweet and the guava ads a delicate flavor. Next time I'll ask for less raisins and hold on the granola, and definitely having the shredded coconut. read more

Stopped by in search of some good treats, but was disappointed with the service and taste of what we chose. Perhaps my taste buds have been spoiled by recent trips to Mexico where the ingredients are fresher. All I can say is, this place is okay. read more

Very helpful and nice women. They have us samples before choosing. They have some of the best raspados I have ever tasted.

Best raspado place I've been to!! Not only in taste, but in value as well. I've tried other near by places (not to name any names...) but by far this is my fav. read more

The best esquite! They add lemon which doesn't seem like much but evens out the heaviness of all the cheese and butter and corn of course. They also have really good raspados the strawberry water is so refreshing. Owners are really nice as well. read more

Worst place ever !!! Me and my family came to this place after a Sunday lunch. My nephew and I got a choco milk and a Frappuccino . They made are drinks not even blended at all it was still warm . So my sister ask them if they can make a new one but more blended and the owner came out told us that's how it comes and started throwing F bombs at us and telling us not to come back . After that I didn't even want my Choco milk anymore I just wanted my money back for how rude he was to my family , and this dude didn't even wanted to do that . He told us to F off and not come back . What a rip off this dude sooo rude and I will not be coming back . read more

Place is good but it's not shaved ice. More like chunks of ice. Manager is extremely rude. Won't be coming here again.

was looking for a mangoniada..and they had it here except they call it something else very good kind of hot but very delicious...lets spread the word this place is awesome only reason i gave it 4 stars and not 5 is cuz they do not take credit cards or ATM damn i never carry cash :( read more

I am officially addicted!!!!! It's becoming a problem. It's all I think about especially when it's hot out! I love the coconut, the fresh chunks of real coconut make it beyond delicious. I either mix it with mango or pineapple. Sooooooo refreshing and yummy. They use very little sugar in their blends because the fruit they get is super fresh and the quality is by far the best. I've have had Raspados at other places and I can honestly say, I'll drive the extra distance to come to El Raspadito! The owner is really nice too! read more

Best raspados I have ever had. I am a regular and have tried them all and they are all awesome. My favorite is the pico de gallo, I like it hot but they also make them mild. Oh and the fresas con crema are amazing! read more

If I could give this place a negative I would so the same lady who charged me was the same lady to make my fruit cocktail so as she got done talking with the other employee while I had to wait for them to finish talking she was literally leaning on the cash register when I order my food she goes to the back and gets right to making my order which is a plate of cut fruit she proceeds to use her hand yes the same one she was leaning on the cash register with as a cutting board and I notice it but I was shocked that she didn't put gloves or nothing just using her bare hand to cut the fruit when she brings it to me I kindly say you know what I don't think I can take the biónico ( fruit cocktail) she then starts to interrogate me and then the other employee which is a lady probably in her early 30's who says to me if you know you're not going to want something open your mouth or don't order nothing at all and I said I came in knowing what I wanted it was when I saw how you prepared my food that I didn't want it anymore she continues to come at me for my choice in not wanting the hand cut fruit and tells me how I'm disrespectful and that I wasn't raised right I literally had to say please don't speak to me I'm just going to pay for my other item and leave please just leave me alone she continued to go on and curse me out in Spanish read more

I come here almost everyday its the best.I recommend nuez con coco. Any flavor is good and all natural.

Love love love! It honestly doesn't get better than this! And I've tried many other shaved ice places. This is by far the best. From the extensive variety of flavors to the amazing service...two thumbs up! (My kids love to mix two flavors together) can't wait to go back :) read more

This place is awesome! They have many different types of fresh juices and Raspados. I have been here a couple times and have not been disappointed. The only complaint is thy don't take debit/credit cards... read more

I am a big fan!! Me and my boyfriend come here regularly :) employees are very friendly the raspados are mighty powerful. My bf loves the tostielotes. The fresas con crema is delish! Place gets busy on hot days but definitely worth the wait ! Please go give this place a try :) read more

Great raspados! Large variety of flavors (which are hand made by the owner himself). Good sized portions and it never disappoints. They only take cash, which is an inconvenience and it can get quite busy so you may be waiting a few minutes, but well worth the wait. Try the coconut with strawberry raspado. read more

Today was our first visit and I can assure you it won't be our last. The owners were very welcoming from the moment we walked through the door. We were given multiple samples of different flavored raspados. My girlfriend ended up going with the vanilla and walnut flavored raspado and it is to die for! My son and I shared the fresh fruit with lemon juice and pico de gallo chile. It's local businesses like this that I love to support, thank you guys so much and like I said..we'll be seeing you again! read more

This place is amazing! They truly have authentic Mexican shaved ice and tastes soooo good! Our favorites are the nuez and the tamarindo but have had others as well and they have all been delicious. The chamango is also one of my favorites. The staff is always so polite and helpful and the prices are just right. read more

Love this place. Try their Pico de gallo raspado. It's too good. U can order it as spicy as u want. Being from michiocan, I order it extra spicy. My son loves the watermelon while my man loves pineapple. They are all good. read more

Tried this place out for the first time today. the customer service was awesome! the one gentleman behind the counter made many different samples for us to try, he took his time mixing different flavors trying to find one that we liked. The only thing I didn't like was the big chunks of ice, raspados are supposed to have fine shaved ice but it really wasn't a big deal ultimately the raspados were delicious and we will be coming back to try other items from the menu. I also liked that its a small mom and pop business :) read more

I really enjoy their lime respados it's so fresh and delicious. The service is usually good but once in a while not depends on who is working. The high mark is for the product not the service. read more

The girls who work here are sooo rude!! The times I've been there everyone I gotten helped by has been rude they have a nasty face on and obviously don't wanna be working there the drinks are okay nothing special so I say it's not worth it they just ruin your mood. Zero stars. Thank you so much. read more

great raspados but bad customer service, the lady was so rude and disrespectful! i didn't even want to give her my money because she was so nasty so i walked out! never again will i go back! read more

I'm a fan! I've been here twice and both times their drinks have been great.. This last time, I ordered a diablito which was delish!

Pico de gallo was okay. Fruit tasted a bit old. There was only one person working, which made the wait a bit long. If your on your lunch be aware of that. The cucumber was a little on the brown side and slightly soggy. read more

This place is awesome a young lady helped me and my family out the last time we went and she was very helpful and genuinely cared if we liked our raspados (shaved ice) for those white folks who don't understand. Great place awesome customer service will be back several times this summer! (: read more

I've been here many times but when you're rude and disrespectful to the customer you lost my business! One of your employees implied that my family was trying to leave without paying! I didn't come asking for a handout my money is as green as everyone else! Just for that you lost me there! By the way the pineapple in our raspado was rotten! read more

I've been going here and never been let down anything I wanted my way I would get but this time I went they said no I wanted a custom order I even offers to pay extra but they still said no what kind of business is this where they reject the customer so I went elsewhere if you want bad service with no to everything you want then this place is for you read more

The coffee raspado with lechera is good I also like the vanilla one with lechera but it has to b the brown vanilla

Good stuff. I wish my raspado de fresa would have had real strawberries in it and they should really take visa/credit card. I had to go to a gas station and get cash back. read more

I used to come here frequently, stopped going because the service wasn't great and found other raspados place. When I asked for extra vanilla in my raspado, obviously i know that in some places they charge for the extra stuff. But the lady that was helping refuse to put extra vanilla in my raspado saying it will be really expensive. That they will charge me 1-2 dlls for every spoon of syrup!! I mean i was only asking for the syrup not another cup, spoon, straw and ice! I think It would be cheaper buying another raspado! I went back today because I was in the area. My husband came back to the car without raspados really mad because there was only 1 lady working on a phone order and told him that he needed to wait until she finishes an order of green juices! So stupid how you are going to let go a client that is there asking only for 1 raspado. I mean if Im the one working and its something simple to put ice and syrup in a cup, I would of stop doing the phone order and make the raspado really fast! 0 costumer service! read more

I love this little place! I know there are lots of Mexican ice cream places popping up lately and my experience is, they are really overpriced and add too much sugar to everything. Not this place. The only reason why I'm not giving them 5 stars is I wish they had tables and chairs to sit and enjoy our raspados. That and it smells like Fabuloso in there! I want to smell fruit, not Fabuloso. ;) read more
