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. read more
