Stopped here to try their frozen cocktails. My friend had the Miami vice, which he said the alcohol seemed a bit overpowering to him. I had the lemon drop and it truly tasted very tart towards the last 3rd of the cup. Not fully our cup of tea but I would go back to try something different to see if the place could fully win me over.

Happy go lucky is such a cute outdoor chill spot with the potential of being a place for great summer nights and a spot to get pick up a frozen treat on your way home. I've given them three stars because of the horrible customer service we received on our first visit. Not only was the cashier in the opposite corner of the register window texting on her phone, there was a line forming that no one attended to, there wasn't any friendly greetings, and they messed up my order and forgot to place my toppings on my ice as well. After receiving my order I noticed it didn't have any pearls on it as it was stated on the menu. Upon returning to the cashier and confirming that pearls came with my treat she said yes and I asked had they ran out of the pearls she stated no and asked if I would like some. Well of course if that's what comes on my order, I didn't make any substitutions to my order, and that's what I paid for. The treat ended up being disappointing after all of that anyway. I should've taken a picture of what we ended up throwing away. Would I return to this establishment.. maybe. Pictures below

So good had to come her twice per my nephew's request. There is something for everyone here. Shaved icee for the kids and frozen drinks snd soft serve with alcohol the adults. The consistency of the soft serve was perfection. Service was pretty fast. There is also a drive through. There is a lot of outdoor seating.

These drinks are STRONG. I'm from Utah though, so take that as you will. Service was quick and efficient, employees were nice. Very cute seating and ambiance, loved the lights!

Love this places. Prices may seem steep but for the size, these are a great deal. Nice shady seating area and the wait was never too long. Daughter got add-ins that were forgotten but she didn't go up and ask so that's on her.

Absolutely not a fan of this place. I came here for dessert after dinner and wasn't impressed. My friend swears by this place, so I thought I'd give it a go, but nope...I've had better. In all fairness, maybe I just ordered wrong, but I for sure left disappointed. Not too sure if I'll try them out again, but if I do, I will definitely be ordering something different. They have plenty of options to choose from, so that's good. If I decide to go back, I'll update this review. Maybe my experience will be different next time around.

Piña Colada

Curiosity got the best of me - I had to see what all the hype is about. Stopped by on my way home from La Lucha. I ordered a piña colada, it was served up very quickly! It was better than I thought it'd be, I can see myself stopping by every once in a while for a cold drink. Probably a good place if you're into the gram, tik tok, or whatever the kids are on these days haha. I can see these drinks being all over social media.

OBSESSED. Happy Go Lucky is exactly what you want on a hot day--fun, colorful, delicious, and just the right amount of indulgent. I ordered the Strawberry Delight with extra condensed milk and a tequila floater, and I'm not exaggerating when I say it was to die for. 10/10, no notes. It was sweet, refreshing, and had that perfect boozy kick without overpowering the flavor. My friend got the Dreamy Dreamsicle with extra condensed milk and a vodka topper, and she was in love with hers too! The setup is super cute and relaxed. It's an outdoor walk-up stand with shaded seating and plenty of fans, which kept things comfortable even in the Texas heat. They also have a drive-thru if you're on the go, but we stayed and enjoyed the vibe--and we devoured every last drop (see photo evidence ). Such a good spot for a treat, especially when the weather's nice. Bright colors, good music, strong pours, and even stronger flavors. Already planning my next visit!

I had exceptionally high hopes for Happy Go Lucky. We were really looking forward to a Hawaiian style shaved ice option with real fruit. *It's clear that their primary focus is on creating exceptional daiquiris and alcohol options. (We are not drinkers) *I must commend them on infusing a remarkable amount of flavor into their snow cones, a true delight. I selected the Happy Rainbow, which was VERY sweet and melted quickly. Probably because Houston's 99-degree heat, but still brought a smile to my face. VERY MESSY! *Daughter got blue coconut said it was okay, she had better. *The employees were so sweet and helpful !

Came on a Friday afternoon for a sweet treat and this was great to cool off from the hot and humid Houston summers. I got the happy rainbow and my friend got the miami vice. I tried to substitute the pineapple syrup in the happy rainbow for the mango flavor, but they did not allow substitutions. I also asked for less syrup but mine came out overflowing with syrup. With syrup spilling out on the sides and the ice melting quickly in the heat it was a bit messy to eat, but the flavors were good and it was refreshing. I think it was a bit sweeter than id prefer, but I did enjoy the creamy scoop of ice cream and the fruity mochi bites. (5.5/10) The Miami vice was super cooling and you can definitely taste the alcohol. I would say that the drinks are a bit stronger than the average frozen/ blended drink you'd get at a bar. The shaved ice portion was also fun addition to the drink. (6/10) I'd definitely take someone here if they were wanting to try something new.

Mango, strawberry, pineapple shaved ice with chamoy
Destinee R.

I am SO HAPPY we have this right before the Texas summer picks up!! The location is prime and easily accessible to other restaurants nearby. It is in a hotspot near La Lucha, Snooze, and Burger Joint- so there is a bit of traffic in the area (the line was wrapped around but moved pretty quickly). They offer an assortment of shaved ice and frozen cocktails which is nifty. They allow three flavors on customized ones- I opted for mango, pineapple and strawberry with chamoy. The ice was soooooo soft, this was honestly the best that I've had in years. The syrups are not overly sweet and the portion prices were pretty decent. Service was quick and with a smile. The only con was that when ordering in the drive-thru, you get your picks and a styrofoam cup with a flat lid. Small blip but would be nice to get the advertised cups! I'll be returning nonetheless

Cute spring/summer drink spot that's perfect for both kids and adults. The patio is spacious with plenty of seating, making it a great place to relax. Service was quick, and they offer samples upon request, which is a nice touch. There's also a convenient drive-thru as well.

Great service back then and great service again this time. Our server was pleasant, provided good recommendations, and we never felt rushed by him. The fried chicken was crisp, seasoned, and not dry at all! They have three sauces available. You can get all three for an extra cost of 50 cents each. Only 1 sauce is included in the whole chicken. Although, I do think a whole chicken should include 2 sauces. Was able to taste the shrimp and pork dumplings and they're solid. The agave butternut squash was what you'd expect from squash, but probably wouldn't get it again. Not that it was bad, but felt it wasn't anything special. I ordered the frozen La Lucha margarita and it did not disappoint! Great ambiance for a group of friends or a date night. Recommend making a reservation ahead of time. Slightly dimly lit inside to set the mood. Both indoor and outdoor dining. Parking lot is valet since it is shared with next door. Street parking available if you don't mind walking and crossing at the traffic light. La Lucha continues to be a great spot from when I first tried them years ago. Would recommend!

As soon as you walk in there's a small bar and as you enter the main area there an open kitchen by the counter seating and then there are some lounge like chairs and several small dinner tables. This place is more for a date as the tables are on the smaller size and the place itself. Reservations is probably a good idea to have and they don't have valet parking so the parking is free. They had plenty of parking when I went. We got the drinks menu first and they had a bunch of different drinks. The regular menu isn't so extensive but it did have a lot of sharable items. They also had a taste menu valued at $150 per person. I tried the oysters, elk, quail, crab, and sweet shrimp. For the dessert I had the basque cheesecake. My favorites were the quail where you get 4 tender pieces of quail and baby deviled eggs. My next favorite was the sweet shrimp which was an interesting flavor since it had been pollen in the broth like sauce. The elk was also an interesting bite the thin cracker on top of it was made from sunflower seeds. The dessert was also my highlight. I love basque cheesecake and this one came with a slight twist for me. They had a fluffy white creme under the cheesecake which reminded me of like a marshmallow fluff. Service was great the server knew the menu well and had smooth transitions between meals. The only real reason I give this place 3 stars is because of my palate and the price value of the food. The food was good but it didn't stand out too much for me.

Now y'all know I love a good cocktail special! After checking out their menu online and seeing some pretty good reviews, I noticed they had chargrilled oysters on their bar bites menu. Say less! Between the oysters and the cocktail special, I was SOLD! Of course, I started with my favorite, an Espresso Martini , and baby, it did NOT disappoint! Smooth, delicious, and beautifully presented with those three little coffee beans on top. Definitely a winner in my book! Now for the disappointment... I was SO ready for those chargrilled oysters, only to find out they didn't have oysters AT ALL! Talk about having your taste buds all worked up for nothing! But despite my oyster heartbreak, I actually enjoyed the atmosphere! It's a cool, laid-back spot with friendly staff, plenty of seating, and lots of natural light coming through the large windows. Definitely a nice place to unwind, enjoy a cocktail, and catch a vibe. Overall: Good drinks, friendly service, and a chill atmosphere! I'll definitely be circling back, but IKTO, PLEASE have my chargrilled oysters ready next time!
