Hand down the best elote I've ever had. Spent a few days in the city and was told I needed to come here to eat and I am so happy I did. I love the little tables, they're so pretty and gives great atmosphere. The beautiful lady behind the counter is a real MVP. She was solo and so busy but she held it down and pushed out some delicious food and drinks.

SOOOOOOO EXPENSIVE THEY TAXINNNNN!!! $12 on the board for fresas con crema , when they charge you up it's $15 "because they're so hard to get" maybe if they'd let us know before purchasing it'd be way more helpful than just charging you $15 for some fresas con crema which were terribly bad by the way ! Super sweet & tasted nothing like fresas con crema never tasted fresas con crema like these ! Also ordered a fruit plate $13 , fresas were soggy , the watermelon tasted like it been sitting there all day soggy as well , the apple was about to go rotten ! It was already looking dark enough from inside , never again!

This place is ridiculously overpriced. When I saw it was $13 for a cup of esquite, I hesitated but thought "oh well I'm already here". When I pulled out my card to pay, there was 50¢ fee to pay with a card I asked for extra mayo and the woman said it would be an extra fee for more mayo. She noticed my shock and proceeded to lecture me on how everywhere you go people have to pay extra for extra. I explained that I understood what she meant but that their prices were kind of high compared to other places. She seemed annoyed and said "well the prices are right there and it's extra for extra things". Super rude. Never coming back here.

Very good portions just more of on the expensive side, purchased a chacapepino and it was $15 with taxes. Very delicious just not very affordable.

$5 bucks I asked for a scoop of ice cream and they give me this. I can't believe they charged me that much for this cup.   Ice cream

They charge me five bucks for this cup of ice cream when I asked for a scoop of ice cream i'm so disappointed from this place now.

Decibels of the music. Maxed at 100 and average 85. Tell me you want me out of your business without telling me.

Food: Got two Açaí Strawberry Banana Smoothies. Huge. $10 each (2024). Plus for size plus for flavor. Really felt like real fruit. 5 out of 5. Service: Yes, it's bad. No smile, no greeting, had to wait couple of minutes to be addressed when the place was empty. Deadpan look of annoyance by the one employee lady. 1 out of 5 stars. Ambiance: Loud. 100 dB so that's real hearing damage after 5 minutes. Has disco lights. The employee turned the music off to take a 10 minute call. Then it was back and loud and so we left. 1 out of 5. Overall: 7/15, 2 out of 5 stars. Willing to update in the future.

I had this place bookmarked for a while and was excited to try it, but I wasn't exactly blown away so I don't plan on returning. I'll give them this -- they have a big menu here so no matter what kind of snacks you like, whether you prefer savory or sweet, you can find your fix here. And they have their own parking lot so that's a nice plus. When I went, I ordered just hot Cheetos with cheese. I thought $4.50 was a steep price for it because the bag of chips cost about $2, meaning just the nacho cheese alone was an added $2. Not worth it imo. The cheese wasn't the best and I ended up giving half my bag to one of my friends. I went with two friends and two of us were able to get our order pretty quickly. Our other friend, who ordered first, didn't. The employees at Frutería Don Chamango actually forgot her order. She asked for an elote and a nieve, so it wasn't even a complicated order. She waited about 15 minutes and saw other people get their orders before her, even though they ordered well after her. The cashier looked through the receipts and questioned when she asked for, then eventually had other employees make her food. She had barely begun to eat by the time my other friend and I were finished because the employees forgot about her

I've always passed this place and I finally decided to check it out! They have a parking space right behind the shop. They have a lot of things on the menu!! But I specifically just came for some watermelon juice. It was really good! They also sell some Mexican candy and chips here!

Found the best mexican cravings option in whole San Diego! Don Chamangos is a little far but was worth the try, they have an huge menu with tons of delicious options. Due to covid there's no indoor seating and only two tables outside, they lack of good ventilation so it was some hot inside so we just placed our order get some agua fresca and waited outside. We had the cheeto elote which amazingly is white corn not sweet yellow, and also the tostiloco which is big enough for two. I've got to say I wanna go back to try the diablito de mango and tosticamaron. Try this place it satisfies all sort of cravings wish they were in Indy

Low key spot, with good Mexican treats. I was feening for a Chamango and this spot did not disappoint. Came back a week later with the hubby and I got the elotes in a cup and the fresas con plantano y creama. Our tastebuds are satisfied.

He intentionally did it because the can was far and he had to reach over the gelato display for it. I called him out and he got a clean spoon. That took us back and we made sure to watch his every move. Absolutely disgusting. Other issues were the gelato wasn't smooth and creamy, as if it was old and had freezer burn. I had a scoop of the Stracciatella and Tiramisu (2 scoops on cone, $7.53 after tax). You also had to pay for the gelato before getting a sample or what you want, which is different from the norm and confusing. The workers repeated this to several people. Overall, would not return and don't recommend.

This was not our first time visiting Extraordinary Desserts, which makes this experience even more disappointing. Sadly, every time we come back, the service seems to get worse. The waiter's attitude and level of attention were unacceptable, and the overall customer service was simply not there. For a place that is supposed to be about enjoying beautiful desserts and having a nice experience, the quality of the service completely ruined our visit. Service, attention, and hospitality were all a zero.

The decor and setting is cute and quirky, including cow sculptures hanging upside down from the ceiling. There were only a couple other visitors when we arrived, as it was near opening time. Our dishes took a whopping 35 minutes to be ready, and service was not very friendly nor helpful. Luckily, the music playing through the speakers added a nice vibe to the place, songs like Our House by Madness and Can't Fight This Feeling. We ordered the brunch pizza (with eggs cooked overeasy) and the breakfast flatbread which looked almost identical when served, as well as an iced mocha. The quality of the pizza was pretty average, and the eggs were slightly overcooked. The drink was really good, made fresh, with a smooth taste and a nice sweetness to it, the plastic cup coated in chocolate sauce. It tasted more like chocolate milk with a hint of coffee, which I personally enjoyed. They typically serve gelato here, but it would not be ready till almost two hours after opening time. So no milkshakes or cold desserts were available in the morning this past Sunday (no worries, Ghirardelli is just a block away). I appreciate the variety of menu items offered here. But they really should communicate online that their gelato's not ready till two hours into the day. If there's one thing that irks me about an establishment, it's failure to communicate appropriately. Even though our recent visit was somewhat disappointing, I still gave 3 stars, assuming this was an off day for them.

Hiya B.UM.S., If you…read moreever find yourself wandering through Downtown San Diego with a sudden craving for fresh cookies or ice cream, I have a place you simply need to check out: Milk & Cookies. We stopped by recently and got incredibly lucky--there was no line in sight, so we walked right up to order! The Cookies: Gooey, Crisp, & Perfectly Balanced My wife decided to try a trio of cookies, picking out Snickerdoodle, Peanut Butter Reese's, and classic Chocolate Chip. They completely nailed the texture. Every single cookie hit that golden sweet spot--warm and gooey in the middle with just the right amount of crisp edge. What really stood out was the balance of ingredients. Chocolate Chip: Perfectly measured so you get sweet chocolate in every bite without feeling overwhelmed by chips. Peanut Butter Reese's: An absolute dream ratio of rich peanut butter to chocolate peanut butter cups. Snickerdoodle: Perfectly spiced, striking just the right "snicker-to-doodle" balance! Of course, we couldn't leave without trying the ice cream. I ordered a combination of Cookie Monster and Campfire in a single scoop. The portion size was remarkably generous--it completely filled up the small cup and delivered a fantastic mix of flavors. My wife went with a scoop combining Espresso Oreo and Mint & Chip, which she thoroughly enjoyed. Overall, these were easily some of the best desserts we've had in a very long time. Whether you're a local or just exploring the downtown area, Milk & Cookies is well worth a visit.

I've worked in Little Italy in the past but have never tried Caffe Italia. I got their Italian sandwich, with the default bread being focaccia. Inside there were prosciutto, salami, ham, provolone, tomato, and house made balsamic vinaigrette. It had a good balance of deli meats, and the focaccia bread was thick to hold it all together. I thought it was tasty as well as their coffee, however my coffee wasn't filled up all the way. It is strong and their roast is bold! I liked it a lot, although a lunch meal can get costly so it would just be from time to time if I were to revisit. Not only that, but they also have a small selection of gelatos which look pretty authentic like Spumoni! Other desserts I saw were mousse, tiramisu, cannoli, cheesecake, carrot cake, and rugelach. The cafe is small and the service may take a bit if you are waiting for the food, but overall, I enjoyed my coffee and sandwich.
