Food was not authentic at all. Mangonada did not taste like anything. Fresas con crema did not taste good at all. The strawberries tasted old and mushy. So disappointed we wasted our money here. Drop somewhere else to buy something else. Take your money to Las Mangonadas instead. Their fresas con crema tastes fresh and creamy and not old and runny like it did here. Their mangonadas come with FRESH mango and tajin. The ones here came with no mango and no tajin just crappy chamoy. Threw away our food by the way. Never coming here. read more

I've frequented this location over the last few years. Today there was a gentleman that was trying to explain he had paid for 3 extra salsas for his food and the two employees kept telling him no and ignoring him. He asked me to translate and I asked the ladies if he had paid for the 3 salsas like he mentioned - they said they only gave him one because "he always asks for too much and they were only going to give him one". The gentlemen was adamant he had paid the $3 (a dollar x a 2 oz of salsa). The cashier slammed the salsa down and said she already gave him 1. Where they have their condiment section - I noticed there were complimentary salsa containers to fill - I asked if he could just fill those and they said "yes but not him because he always requests extra". I mentioned he was their customer and if he paid, they should be giving him what he is requesting. Both employees stayed quiet and turned away. I will also mention this gentleman was African American.... He was being polite and speaking to them calmly as well. At the end, he still paid an extra $3 apart from the $3 he had already paid and left with mediocre tacos and terrible customer service. Y en caso de que necesitan confirmación, también hablo español y me pude comunicar bien con las dos empleadas que fueron groseras. Que mala representación de Hay Elotes y mucho mas de los Latinos. No hay que robar... y nadie estuvo allí más que yo, mi pareja y el muchacho y si novia. No pueden decir que estaban ocupadas como pretexto. read more

Been here at least 30x for years now and hands down the best spot for mangonadas in north austin! I usually get the mango hill, they can actually pack it to go for. My second favorite thing to get here, is a tie between the elote and the pickle Cheetos. Truly authentic elote made just how I like it! Everything here is 1000% not good for you, but it's totally worth it for an occasional treat! One star deducted for the fact there is always a wait. Props they finally got an order ahead option, but it still took 30 minutes and even had to wait once we got there. Hoping they can get this new system together for a speedier process. read more

Neighborhood snack place. Corn in a cup, mangonadas, chicharrones are my go-tos. Lots of different choices for everyone. Snacks are good and price is average but worth the portions. Lines are usually long and service goes as fast as it can so be patient and expect a little wait. The location downtown usually has a huge line out the door and a bigger wait so this is nothing. read more

We drove 41 minutes to this place just to get bad food. 1 star is for the sauce cup. I bought a 12oz cup of Elotes for $5, it was not tasteful, and the corn teste was blend with no season. The corn went to the trash bin because it was just that Trash. The little stand outside has Berria tacos and the meat needs season, but the sauce is good. Sad to say the meat not being season takes away from it being amazing. Whatever the seasoning is in the sauce cup put it on the meat. Please and Thank you read more

Not exactly the cleanest place, and the environment is definitely the type I'm not used to since I come from a newer part of Austin. But the snacks are a good Mexican dessert for my first impression. The parking is plentiful, but do be careful around this part of Austin. Aside from Hay Elotes, the shopping center was pretty empty. I ordered the mango hill just like everyone else. I was tempted to try the coconada for the blue color, but the strawberries sticking out of a mango sorbet looked more tempting. I think a fitting description for the mango hill would be mango flavored shaved ice that has sweets stacked on top, and some hot sauce drizzled as a finishing touch. Do be careful buying this dessert if you're a slow eater. The ice will melt, and you'll be left with a cup full of melted mango flavored ice that's mixed with hot sauce. Sums up my feelings toward alcoholic beverage. I would recommend this dessert place. It's definitely something new if you're trying to be adventurous, and I can't think of any other Mexican dessert places around Austin. read more

Awesome little spot. Family and i stopped in for some birria tacos. They had a sign on the wall for a family pack of tacos with a large consomme so we got that. The family pack came with 10 cheese and birria tacos, limes, onions, radish, cilantro, red and green salsa, and a large 32oz consomme. The tacos were good and piping hot. At first i was dunking the tacos in the consomme but that made the tacos fall apart, so i changed to taking a bite of the tacos and then taking a sip of the consomme which i really preffered. They also have desserts and fresh fruit cups which looked really good but i did not try, was too full from the tacos. All in all a really good spot that the family and I will come back too. read more

This place is gonna be dangerous. I grew up on the border, I love grilled corn, but I've never cared much for corn cups. That said, Hay Elotes has changed my mind. The corn was absolutely divine. It tasted like freshly shucked corn, nothing from a can. It was steaming hot and perfectly cooked with just enough bite. It was topped with cheese, crema, chili, and lime juice. I completely devoured an 8oz cup of corn and I really wished there was more. Of course this place also offers a bunch of other delicious snack options: raspas, fruit cups, sour hot cheetos, ice cream, and so much more. The girl at the counter also said they make their own ice creams and frozen fruit ice (in mango, pineapple, lime, lemon, and a couple more flavors). The staff was super friendly and answered all of our questions. I'll definitely be a return customer. read more

Their elotes is not good. It had a lot of the bottom of the inedible kernels and was very undercooked. If you do not speak Spanish make sure you really try to learn those words. My 1st time the young lady really tried to help me out. The 2nd time it was an older lady who was very rude. She thought I ordered certain flavors of shaved ice and made them then when the younger girl told her it was wrong she smacked her lips, rolled her eyes, and remade them leaving my cups half empty. I know my numbers and flavors in Spanish so I'm not sure how we got it mixed up but I will not be back. During this covid businesses should really appreciate the ones who still patronize them and help keep their doors open. read more

The corn was way overcooked so it was chewy and hard to eat. Also, the Elotes cup had way too much cheese. This is my opinion based on trying several Austin area Elotes joints.

The food is authentic Mexican food. I ordered the Tostilocos which is basically chips topped with baked peanuts and pickled pork skin. Sounds nasty, right? It was, and maybe it was just my American palette, but I can't imagine anyone liking that. I also ordered the elote and the corn was not cooked and topped with a ton of old parmesan cheese. The employees only spoke Spanish so ordering was complicated. The lady employee was rude when I asked for lime with my corn and she also wanted to charge $3 for birria sauce which was clearly pictured on the menu. Maybe the desserts would be good here but I'd never eat here again. Also, it smelled like dead animals. read more

I am a California native so seeing a Jamba Juice so close to me was oddly nostalgic. I didn't…read morerealize I was missing it until it was right in front of my face! When you first walk in, it's very bring and vibrant which just really gets you in the mood for a smoothie. The person working the register was very kind and welcoming. She was incredibly helpful- helping us decide, reading off Ingredients, and even happily making changes. We ordered three smoothies: Medium Caribbean Passion Small Greens 'n Ginger (with passion mango juice instead of lemonade) Kids Strawberry Blueberry I personally think a small is a great size, the medium is just too much smoothie for me. I enjoyed my Greens n Ginger but the frozen kale gave off a very "freezer burnt" and old veggie taste which was very off putting. I love kale but I guess I don't love frozen kale. I think if fresh kale was used or maybe just freshER frozen kale it might've been an absolute win for me. I usually grab the mango a go-go which is just delicious. My friend enjoyed her Caribbean passion very much! I thought it was a bit too tart but if you're into that- go for it! My son liked his blueberry smoothie but didn't finish it so we'll be making it into gummy bears in the morning lol. They are a joint store with Annie's Pretzels and while I was VERY tempted, we opted out of those delicious doughy little bites. But next time? Nobody's safe! There are a few soda and lemonade options if you're not really the smoothie type of person. All in all this was a good experience I just think I'll try something else my next visit. Maybe a smoothie bowl!

This Jamba location is a little closet of a store, made even smaller by the fact that they share…read morethe space with Auntie Annie's soft pretzels. The two concepts seem diametrically opposed, but I'm not the one forming brand alliances over here. So, it smells like an odd combination of yeast dough, butter, and celery juice all at once. You can find all the basic fruit and vegetable combinations in drinkable form, blended or pressed. The menu is bereft of food items, like the steel-cut oats I love so much, likely as a concession to Auntie A's. Service is fast, especially if you order ahead, the drinks are refreshing, and the smarter choices are a good infusion of nutrition on the go.

Horrible costumer service, I'm writing this as we are experiencing COVID-19 all establishments are only doing TOGO orders, so we were excited of going to Hay Elotes. We walk right in, there's nobody in there, just the young cashier, she didn't say hi, she just looked at us and continued typing something in the register. Ok no big deal, we take 2 minutes to look at the menu, still no greeting or no words from her. We go literally in front of the register and still she is typing something at the register, we were in front of her literally for 5 minutes... no words from her, not even a "Sorry, I'll be right back with you guys" or "how can I help you?" NOTHING, just her typing at the register. One of the other girls that works there comes and same thing she just ignore us. To add this, the girl at the register has her face mask on top of her ponytail, instead of wearing it. She turns around and goes back to the kitchen, still no words .... we ended up leaving read more

I came here to try to birria tacos with the consome and it was delicious. I spoke to the owner to see if they can cater for a bday party of 25 people and they exceeded the expectations. Everything was nicely packaged for us and they were extra generous with toppings. Wish we got pictures but we were too hungry!! We will be back for more. Thank you so much. read more

Expecting going into an ice cream shop, you would not smell anything and find anything ice cream, and they surely have many options, and you will most likely find something of your liking here. They apparently have snacks and foods too. Their menu is mainly in Spanish, and their ice cream flavors are definitely Mexican inspired such as chamango, fresca con leche, chocolate abuelita, Nanche, and queso. The ladies were nice and ready to scoop up some ice cream. My kid earned her blue stripe at Rise Martial Arts Center next door and asked for a blue Cookie Monster ice cream at Chicos.

Immaculate fry and the sauce that comes with it is equally up to match it. The lime is crucial to the grease and change up the flavor profile part way through. Why the 4 star then?
