    Snow cone
    Jamilet C.

    Price is great. Flavor is okay. Just be prepared to wait 30 minutes-1 hour. I only had four cars ahead of me in the drive through and still waited 30 minutes

    Everything was amazing! The nachos are so cheesy, the mangonada is exactly what I expected filled with mango chunks, the elote prep was so good & the raspas are delicious, especially if you add the extra toppings.

    Hot dog

    I, order hot dog and the lady gave me this hot dog it has way to much pico de gallo the bread is soggy También le pedí una raspa de tamarindo me dieron mas hielo y no le pusieron sabor

    Two big things this place has going for them is their affordability and menu variety!! You can get so many different things for such a great price. I love coming here for the raspas-- the small size is super loaded, makes it seem like a large. I've tried a few different things and have loved all. They also don't hold back on anything which is great. Only giving it 4 stars though because of the super long wait time.. They are almost always packed, both drive thru and waiting in line. Be ready to wait a while if coming here, especially on weekends or night time. I've had to wait anywhere from 15 minutes to an hour. There are a few tables and seating areas, as well as a kids area to entertain the kids.

    Came across this spot on Yelp, while in search of a funnel cake one Saturday. So I made my way over. Wasn't expecting there to be a long line, but it was a pretty, hot day and I guess everyone had the same idea...snowballs and funnel cakes. The snowball ice wasn't as soft as I prefer and wasn't as juicy, but it got the job done. For the price that I paid for the funnel cake and snowball..I won't complain. Prices are very reasonable and they have a lot to choose from on the menu. They have a pretty large seating area, some covered, some not. A good spot to enjoy family and friends.

    Long lines
    Requel P.

    I found out about this spot from a post on Instagram. I think it was the Houston Secrets page. What got my attention was the $1 snow cones, I haven't seen those prices in years. They did warn that there will be a long line and waiting time over the weekends or weeknights. I went on a Wednesday evening around 7:40 after a walk at the park. There was a line in the parking lot for the drive-thru as well as a standing line at the window. I can't remember exactly but I think I waited about 45 minutes. However, I wasn't in a rush and I wanted to try them out. I ordered a small banana snowcone, Elote with all the toppings, their twisted pickles, and a hotdog with the cheese on it. The snow cone was a pretty big size for a small and I got it with the condensed milk cream on top. It was definitely good and the price was perfect, so no complaints there. The Elote was definitely the best I've ever had in a long time. I will definitely go back for that. It was a nice size for about $2.75. Whereas other places will probably charge you $6. They had all the perfect seasonings. The they charged me for the chili cheese dog but I didn't want the chili. Had I known I was still going to get charge for the same price I would've kept the chili, but it was still a good price for a hotdog. As for the twisted pickles from the picture, it look like it supposed to be a Kool-Aid pickle & I've had Kool-Aid pickles in my childhood, but this was different. First they put the pickles in a hotdog Styrofoam container with juice in it so as it was sitting in my bag, on the way home is spilled all throughout the bag and all throughout my car seat, which I was not happy about. Secondly, when I got ready to taste the twisted pickles or Kool-Aid pickles, in my experience I'm used to sweets Kool-Aid. Therefore, the pickles should've been a sweet taste or at most a sweet & sour taste. Unfortunately, this was just a red colored dill pickle. The pickle was extremely sour and the koolaid had no sugar so it was just full color which stained my hands as well. It was so sour my nose started to sweat. And I was so disappointed because I love Kool-Aid pickles. I could make them on my own. They give you four spears, but they are missing the sugar. Unless that's how they intended it to be it could be different for each cultures experience, but in my culture we do Kool-Aid pickles. The Kool-Aid is sweet just like when you drink Kool-Aid it is sweet. Overall other than that it was great pricing, like when you went the neighborhood candy lady, but with so many treats, like what you'd get at the rodeo. I would recommend people to to give it a shot.

    Banana raspa and nachos
    V R.

    I've been coming here for years and it's because they have great raspas and nachos. The service could use some help because it takes a long time to get your order, if you don't mind waiting it shouldn't be an issue. It's a great place for hot days.

    Definitely a busy spot will have to wait in line but totally worth it! Their shaved ice is on point for the snow cones and the funnel cake is a 10/10

    Mango/corn
    Brittney M.

    This place is okay for a quick stop snack it is not over the top good but it is not bad either. You basically get what you pay for. Mangonada was average it's not like the others I have had . Corn in the cup cool but the cheese was different. I feel like this place take short cuts to keep with the the clientele they have in that area. 1-10 scale 6.

    Raspa

    Got home and my cone was spilling bad make sure the cups ain't a lil crack and overflowing just left and sadly we couldn't enjoy the raspa.

Food: - Chicken liver pate: 10/10 SOOOO good! The bread that comes with it is amazing too. There is some sweet jam that is paired with it also. It doesn't overpower the main pate flavor, but I could probably do without the sweetness. - Pressed leeks: 10/10 I haven't had leeks too often in my life but this was really good! The sauce that they put it on pairs so well with it and really makes the dish. Must try even if you think you don't like leeks. - Venison tartare: my husband loves tartare and mustard so he loved this dish. I despise mustard and am lukewarm on tartare. The mustard taste was so strong. I hated this dish but I'm also not a good critic for it, so no rating from me. - Pappardelle: 7/10 Simple and classic. Not worth getting on your first visit but a nice dish on its own. - Butternut squash: 8/10 I can't remember much about this dish except that I enjoyed it :) - Pork collar Milanese: 9/10 Like a much better version of a schnitzel - Dumplings: 9/10 Just read the description on the menu and you know it's gonna be good. Ricotta? Brown butter? Yup amazing! Creamy, delicate, but not just a big mush that makes me want to gag. - Lamb ribs: 9/10 Nicely smoked, all around good balanced flavor - Wagyu bavette: 10/10 So good! Tender and juicy. But at this point in the meal, I'm usually pretty stuffed and the portion size is pretty decent. I would enjoy it even more if we didn't always order so many other small plates haha - Mushrooms: 9/10 Mushroom haters, please try this! You may change your mind! It changed my friend's mind that also doesn't like mushrooms. Service: - Always a good time. Checks in but not overbearing. Ambiance is slightly upscale but still relaxed. Doesn't feel uppity. - One time, we got free dessert. We were the last party in there so they probably just wanted to get rid of it. The cookie was so good! I've also been for brunch but have since forgotten what we've ordered. I just remember enjoying it a lot more than expected. Can't wait to go back again!

To start, we were lightly scolded for ordering three food items from the menu--we ordered mocktails to start--and between the two of us we don't eat large portions. If you don't think we're ordering enough food, it'd be nice to be informed that the portions are small if you're concerned about us being unsatisfied. As our plates came out, they were served with a perfunctory description of what we ordered and nothing else was said before they rushed off to be somewhere else. We don't expect to be doted on, but the overall vibe was standoffish on a quiet morning. Given they prefer full orders up front for pacing purposes, and our server was enforcing cups on coasters, we thought it was odd that our plates weren't refreshed between courses. I don't mind reusing the jam and butter covered plate to eat my polenta, but it conflicted with what the restaurant is trying to project. Overall, food was good, service was weird. Likely won't be back because Agnes & Sherman is right down the street and is so much better.

Advertising has its place. I'm always dubious of posts that I see from so-called influencers on social media. Especially when I view someone with 20 sets of false eyelashes and enough food for ten delivered to the table and lots of oohs and ahhs. But I'm always willing to check out a new place and make my own decision because it's a fun hobby of mine. And I'm retired and I have plenty of time. Now I've been traveling in Mexico for most of my life because of family and friends that I have there, and I have a real soft spot for the cuisine of Mexico, whether from the seven regions that culinary historians talk about; or the sub regions such as our beloved Tex-Mex, which I love. And so today brings me to this little place up on Airline Drive that I heard about from a so-called influencer on Instagram. Los Mendoza Mexican Restaurant. I'm here in the morning and it's a breakfast all day option kind of place. I get a fruit smoothie (Ilusión) and a tecolota, their riff on a chilaquiles sandwich. The smoothie is excellent and I would come back just for it. They offer an option with or without sugar. A no charge, courtesy consommé with potatoes and fideo arrives. Delicious. As was the excellent sandwich. See photos. Beef birria ramen; tacos ahogados; caldo de albondigas; patitas de puerco en salsa roja; beef short ribs... how is it that I am just discovering this place? I love, cruising down Airline, Irvington, and Fulton, as there are so many places to choose from a Mexican culinary heritage. I want to spend a year, just trying all of the different places.

Millie's is a popular neighborhood seafood restaurant in Houston's Oak Forest area, known for Southern and coastal-inspired dishes, craft cocktails, and being genuinely family-friendly. They offer both indoor and outdoor seating, including patios and a dedicated play area for kids, which already sets them apart. They have private parking spots out front and a large outdoor patio facing the street. We walked in without a reservation and were seated right away. They brought out a high-chair for our son immediately. Inside, the restaurant was busy, but it was a colder morning so the front patio wasn't being used much. They also have a separate backyard patio with a turfed, enclosed area where kids can safely play, which is a huge plus for families. We ordered from the brunch menu. [BRUNCH] +Lobster Roll for $38 - Maine lobster poached in butter, served in a brioche-style lobster bun with fries. My wife ordered this with fries, and I ordered the same dish with a Caesar salad. This lobster roll was excellent. They served the lobster folded into thick Texas toast and brought extra butter on the side. Easily one of the best lobster rolls I've had. It's definitely pricey, but absolutely worth it as an occasional splurge. The fries and salad were good, but the lobster roll completely stole the show. - 5/5 [KID'S MENU] +Basket of Fried Shrimp for $7 - Served with fries or fruit. My son didn't eat much of the shrimp, but I thought it was solid. He ate all the fruit. He had already eaten at home, so hunger may have been a factor. For the price, this was perfectly fine. - 4/5 Overall, Millie's Kitchen & Cocktails really impressed me. The lobster roll alone is worth returning for, and now that I've seen how seafood-forward the menu is, I'm excited to try more dishes on future visits. Add in the family-friendly setup, outdoor play space, and smooth service, and this is a place I'll gladly come back to for brunch (and more)!

Hippo Burgers popped up on my Yelp search and was not too far away, so I bookmarked it. Could have went to the Popeyes near by, but I really had a taste for a burger. Reviews were solid, so I figured why not?! Drive was bumpy to HB, but that is typical for the Aldine area, so drive carefully! Parking lot was plentiful even during lunchtime, but I did arrive just before 11:30 so I may have missed the lunch break traffic. Still about half of the restaurant was filled up. The menu is straightforward and outlines the ingredients on the burger. Desiring a burger with bacon, I ordered the BLT Burger- without mayo added mustard. You will find that the burgers are not too overly inclusive with a bunch of toppings but include one ingredient that makes it unique enough to make a statement (i.e. bacon, mushrooms jalepanos...This gives HB time and focus to make an oustanding meaty and flavorful patty to showcase their burgers which gives it that homemade burger vibe. Plus the order came out quick! Portion size was generous and worth the price. Very tasty burger that will keep you full the rest of the day. I cannot forget the fries, which came out fresh and hot. A pinch of salt- just how I like them, which was the deciding factor for me to eat at HB versus driving back to training and risk my fries getting cold! I gladly indulged in every single bite of my burger and fries. Plus, I love that they have Pepsi versus Coke beverages. They sell one cup size for fountain drinks. Dining in? free refills! I also liked that the tables are spaced out and give people room to eat. Tables provided plenty of paper towels as well as you sink your teeth into your burger and possibly get a little undignified. No one will blame you. Good food deserves to be devoured and I most certainly will be back again to indulge accordingly.
