    Chamtamarindo!

    Wow! Just as amazing as I last tried it when I was in the 6th grade, and now I'm 28 years old! I ended up getting a chamtamarindo raspado and let me just say it's the BESTS! The lady that served me was nice and helpful! I would definitely make my way back soon!

    Best raspados in the valley! Chamfresa, mangoneada, freza y vainilla con lechera, and coco con nuez y lechera.

    Clutch! Best Raspados Ever! The chamfresa is my favorite, but you can't go wrong with any of them

    Long wait . Only one person working . They looked watered down but aren't . Would come back if I'm the area .

    Fresh fruit raspados.

    First time here. Excellent fresh fruit raspados that are the perfect amount of sweet. They also have yummy tostitos. The staff are friendly and efficient too. This place is great if you want authentic raspados. I will definitely be coming back here.

    Best raspado place in town. Have been coming here for years! Very close to my grandmas house so we usually walk here. They have so many options and varieties. They even have a menu of pictures to tell you what the drinks are called if you've only ever seen what they looked like. The prices are great. You will love anything you get from here. They don't skimp out on making your raspado, smoothie, etc. They will pack on the ice, syrups, fruit, mango, strawberries, lechera and so on. I have no complaints about this place. The only thing I can say is that since I dont like too much of the flavored syrups in my raspados and, as mentioned above, they pack on the flavor, it can be a too much for me. I never end up finishing my raspado. That's only a personal preference of course because I don't like things too sweet.

    El Tromp with mango raspado!!

I booked this truck for our baby shower in two weeks so I wanted to give them a try first. The lady working the truck at the Farmers Market was very nice and answer any follow up questions I asked after I told her I booked the truck for our baby shower. I waited for my nephew to join me and then we ordered our cup. We went with the klassic cup because the weather was kind of cold. I went with the groovy grape, ninja cherry and watermelon wave on my cup. I believe my nephew went with the monkey business, flavor of the day and tiger blood for his. We enjoyed our shaved ice. I didn't put a lot of flavor on mine so when I ate half of my cup, I went back to ask if I could add more flavor and the lady said I could. I had a great time eating the shaved ice and I can't wait for people at our baby shower to try it. Hopefully the weather will be on the not so cold side. The price for booking them is also very reasonable and they answer quickly to any questions over email.

    I've been coming here for many years now and love the tamales here. The parking can be hard at…read moretimes depending on what time you go to the store. I like to go when it opens because there is less people at that time and easier to find parking. The owner is a sweet lady but when the store is busy, it is best to know what you want to order ahead of time or she gets a little annoyed/ upset. My favorite tamales are cheese tamales but they also have other kinds like pork and beef. The owner makes everything fresh everyday. When I went the owner stated tamales other than corn and cheese would not be ready until later so if you want tamales, it might be good to come around 9 or 10 to make sure they have the flavors you want. Also, once they sell out of tamales for the day, they do not make more so it's best to come asap. Also their Champurrado is my favorite. I definitely recommend coming here if you are looking for a good one. They have different sizes ranging from S-XL. Over the years, I have seen this place get more expensive but it is worth every penny because they make great tamales and have very yummy Champurrado ($4 each tamale, $24 1/2 dozen tamales, $48 dozen tamales ) Also the owner speaks Spanish and English :) I also believe this is a Cash only establishment.

    5 stars for the service. I'm so sad to have this experience and leave this review, especially…read morehaving loved their mom's tamales. She made them in the morning and when they sold out, that was it - and they were absolutely delicious. More isn't always better... I went on Tuesday (two days before Xmas) when they opened and was pleasantly greeted by a male and female. Very friendly and cheerful, and the man (son) said that he took over the business from his mom and they've been making 1000 dozen tamales each day to keep up with demand. Let that sink in, 12,000 a day! Wow! I was hoping to buy 4 tamales but they only sold them in packs of 6 of each flavor since they were already packed, so I got chicken and pork. He said that the only reason I was able to buy it was because they had someone call in last night to cancel their order. Lucky right? At that moment I thought so. They are $4 each. Unfortunately the tamales were not good. They were all over the place, completely inconsistent - some were raw, some were soggy, some were dry, some were thin, and some were thick like a literal dense clump that could not be cut with a fork. Most of them stuck to the husk. The masa was bland on both, worse on the pork. There wasn't enough sauce and both meat were extremely dry. I liked the flavor of the red sauce on the pork but there was so little of it, most of it was on the outside- more would have helped the dryness. Some had a good amount of meat but some only had a little bit, and all didn't have enough sauce. It was so sad and disappointing. It was purely quantity over quality, there was no quality. The packages were not hot or warm so who knows how long they've been sitting out. Maybe I'll come back during off season to try it again if I'm in the area, but I definitely won't drive all the way there just to get their tamales like I did today / used to.
