My rating is based on the food... So before that... The cons, which have nothing to do with the food. The place is really small, so when there is more than 6 ppl waiting it is very congested in there & there's really no order, who ever shouts out their order first goes first. The parking was a nightmare! We almost got hit 2x by 2 trucks trying to get out. There is no space inside or out. So don't expect to eat there. The place to me was easy to find but I can see how ppl who don't know 7th street or the East side for that matter have trouble finding it. But those are the cons. Now pros... Everything is DELICIOUS!!! I always go with a few ppl so we all get different stuff & I feel like I tried a bit of everything. It is all so good!! The price for how much you get seems off (in a great way)... It's so cheap & you get these giant cups just mounted with all this goodness! I have been other places & you pay a few bucks more than this one. This place is really turning into the hidden gem of East Austin! It's a little slice of heaven! read more

Hay Elotes - Cocanada, Pic.a.dilly, mangonada & elote... All of them were amazing! My families new fav spot! - Desserts Near Me - Austin, Texas

Authentic and charming. Staff always serves you with a smile and happy to accommodate modifications to menu items. Fruit, veggies, lime juice, tajin, crushed nuts, crema, corn, mayo, conjita, and other simple fresh ingredients that keeps customers coming back for more. Want to go all out? Get yourself a "Mango Hill," mango purée slushee piled high with spikes of strawberries poking out and a piece of sour tape wrapping around it. Big enough to share and will definitely make you smile. read more

Excellent and fast service! Small but great snack stand. Remind me of the all the snack places in the Rio Grande Valley!

Some shadiness right here. I bought three items, 13 bucks; aiight no prob. but then the dude cashing us out added an automatic tip of 2 bucks. that ain't right. was my mistake for not paying attention and signed it after using my debit card. tried telling him though that I didn't add it, but claimed i did. NAH BRUH. two bucks ain't much, but still. a business shouldn't be doing that. asked the girl behind the counter if they usually add a tip already when cashing out and she said yes. tf? don't know if they were taking advantage of me cause I got almond eyes LOL. just giving y'all a heads up. it's okay to be located in a shady ass area but don't be pulling shady ass stunts read more

Hay Elotes - this lady told me that tipping was mandatory on my 13 dollar purchase. PAY WITH CASH AND BE CAREFUL. - Desserts Near Me - Austin, Texas

There's no comparison in Austin their hot sauce for the corn is just can't be duplicated. They don't use can corn like other places it's just THE BEST read more

The corn is big disappointed and the staffs seems so cold and not friendly at all. Maybe because I drove far away from the South with big expectation to the roasted corn but what I got is the cheapest kind of corn from the can that tasted really weird and tough. read more

This restaurant is a little slice of Mexican glory in Austin. It is the truest definition of a hole in the wall. The place is a walk through establishment where you will be served in a line to then go sit outside and enjoy the treats. I have ordered cheesy hot cheetos, the elote, ice cream with spears of fruit covered in chili, nachos, and the mango hill. The negatives: The elote comes in a cup so it gets a bit watery. The mango hill is giant which means you will need friends to help you eat it. The food is all snacks and desserts there isn't and real food. The positive: The food is all delicious. The price is very low. The hot cheetos and cheese is spicy and wonderfully covered in cheese. The nachos are typical ball park style chips, Rico's cheese, and jalapeños. There is always something I have loved about this. The ice cream is tart and wonderful. It's unreal! read more

Love it.. Nothing like it in DFW... Austin has the best mangonada I've ever had hands down! Will definitely return next time I'm in town. read more

This place is very rude and racist. We went in to get ice cream and they completely ignored us and was attentive to the mexican customers that came in minutes after us. There are also flys in there not very clean. read more

Snack heaven. We got elotes (on the cob), Flaming Hot Cheetos with cheddar cheese sauce (not on the menu but ask for it!), and a Mango Hill. Everything was to die for and this place does an excellent job balancing sweet with savory and spicy. Staff was friendly and even though there was a long line, the staff was efficient and it moved quickly. I will definitely be back to satisfy all my snacking needs! read more

Not good, not fresh, place smells like cleaning products. The corn was tough and the staff weren't friendly.

One of the best desserts I've ever had. The Mango Hill gets all the hype and understandably so, it's great, but don't sleep on the Coconada. I actually liked the latter better. The quality of the ice cream here really sets it apart from other places as they start from a superb base and just build upon it w/lots of ooey gooey yumminess. read more

Hay Elotes - Mango Hill and Coconada. Both very good. - Desserts Near Me - Austin, Texas

Hay Elotes - Desserts Near Me - Austin, Texas

Walking into Hay Elotes was so pleasant. All the ladies working there were so friendly and quick to serve you. The first thing I noticed was all the ice cream flavors and their menu was quite large with lots of things I've never heard of but was curious to try some day. I ordered the mangonada and it was super yummy! It was super refreshing and not super sweet. My only wish was chunks of fresh mango. read more

Legit. Cup of corn is so good here, not like that knock off on barton springs. Creamy and lime-y and spicy and great. Also, the mangonada is fantastic, especially with the kick of sour from the tamarind. Folks are nice and you get your corn quite quickly. They also have a version where they pour the corn in a bag of corn chips (think frito pie) and then on top of everything add that nacho cheese. It looks awful, tastes holy but will make you regret the decision later on. Feelin like a thousand bucks...inside a thousand pounds. read more

Hay Elotes - Elotes/cup of corn and mangonada. Yes yes yes! - Desserts Near Me - Austin, Texas

Me and my husband just came back from a trip and wanted to get a light snack. Hay elotes was on our way back home. The place is little hard to find, so keep looking while you drive slowly :) We ordered elotes, hot and sour Cheetos and mangolada Elotes were perfect- we skipped the mayonnaise, but corn with cheese, butter and seasoning tasted great. Hot and sour Cheetos: I have always loved popcorn and pickle, so wanted to give this a try. It tastes great for a couple of bites, but It is a huge portion. I love sour things, but this was too much after while. Make sure you share it with a friend if you are trying it for the first time. Mangolada: very refreshing drink. Mango with chamoy sauce and a tamarind straw. Sweet tamarind mixed with chilli powder and salt went really well with mango. Who would have expected :) service was great. Everyone was friendly and seemed passionate about what they were doing. Ps: please don't wear white when you visit. Everything is huge and chances of spilling are very high ;) also, there is no seating inside. read more

I was visiting from Michigan and it's not easy finding mangonadas at home. Friendly, fast service and delicious mangonada. Hit the spot.

This is truly authentic Mexico street treats....I consider a place that has white Mexican corn in a cup authentic. This place is amazing for your Mexican cravings and perhaps the closes you will get to actually having it in Mexico. read more

YAAASSSSS!!!!! This place serves up their elotes fresh and authentic! The elotes are served with white corn, to some people it may seem chewy or hard and even bland but it is technically the right ingredient instead of sweet corn. I also tried the mangonada which is a mango smoothie with chamoy. This was my first time trying it so I wasn't sure what chamoy was...it's a tangy sauce with a spicy kick made from tamarinds. It was definitely worth a try because the flavors are really balanced, the mango comes through and the chamoy just adds a depth to it. I extremely enjoyed my cup of elotes and mangonada so I definitely plan on coming back to try more stuff. The mango hill, fruit cup and sour hot cheetos have definitely piqued my interest. The place isn't very hard to find but you need to keep your eye out for the sign because it is a hole in a wall or I guess a trailer in the street. Not a lot of parking but it seems to be more of a to go place because there were just a couple of picnic tables and chairs outside. The ladies working there are very nice, super friendly and willing to answer any questions. It also helps that their menu is visual, it makes deciding what to order much easier. Personally, I think they are a little overpriced but at the same time there aren't a lot of places that serve street food like this. I'll be back and hopefully more people can become customers so they can expand. read more

If you're looking for a snack and something refreshing to cool off with in the summer heat- Hay Elotes is the place to go to. Their aquas frescas are fresh, yummy, and cheap! Their Elotes are descent and just what I need. They have a variety of fruit snacks and other savory snacks to chose from that are made fresh. They have 3 different sizes to chose from for almost anything that comes in a cup. Sometimes the line can be long but the staff is pretty diligent and good with getting to customers. This is a walk in and grab your food type place so there's no indoor seating, but there is outdoor shaded seating. Since this is an authentic Mexican place, it would help to know some Spanish to communicate with the employees! read more

You must check this place out. We recently moved from Los Angeles and we are happy to have found this place! read more

I never had elotes until last week. This week I've had it twice and the weeks not even over. Serious addiction. Haven't had any sweets yet, but soon. The customer service is great. All smiles I would wait an hour in line for some elotes. Just saying. read more

Holy moly where has this place been all my life? During the hot dog days of summer this place is the ultimate treat to beat the heat. Expect lines, but it's totally worth the wait. I'd recommend the mangonada, a refreshing blend of frozen mangos and chamoy (a spicy/sweet/sour Mexican candy). read more

The fruit was fresh and my server had a smile on her face the whole time. Great food, great vibes; I'll definitely be back!!

I've been here before and decided to hold my review until a few more reviews so here we go This place is down my street from my house and it's on my way home. It's a small place so on really busy days/nights it gets packed. The elotes were awesome ( if not watery. The second visit I asked for less juice) and both a chamoyada and mangonda which blew my mind. I definitely wish they stayed open . They definitely have a new fan PROS: plenty of choices, friendly staff, delicious food CONS: small location, so it gets packed, Parking? Service is slow, closes at 9 PM read more

Really enjoyed this place. Got the Mango Hill ($6.99) and the 8oz Elotes ($2.50). The Elotes was a little watery. I enjoyed it, but have had better. The mango hill was REALLY good! It's huge! Enough to feed my husband and I. The staff are friendly and helpful! I loved the fact that they kept trying to speak to me in Spanish when I'm an English speaking Hawaiian from Hawaii lol. I took it as a compliment! But anyway... Hay Elotes is amazing!! I definitely want to comeback again and try EVERYTHING on their menu!! And I mean EVERYTHING! Sour Cheetos I'm coming for you on my next visit! read more

This place is heaven! There are so many options serving large varieties of Mexican desserts! I recommend trying the elotes and the ice creams and shaved ice are handmade and delicious, too. The staff speaks Spanish and they are so sweet and caring! This place is a great opportunity to practice Spanish while enjoying a taste of a genuine Mexican treats! Loved it and definitely coming back! read more

I came here with some friends. Parking is a nightmare and the wait gets pretty long. But we ordered the mango hill and the large cup of elotes. Both were delightfully tasty. The mango hill was complex with different types of flavors and overall refreshing. The elotes were not the best I've had since the corn was texturally sort of hard. Both were a fun experience to eat. read more

Stopped by for a fruit cup and was super excited but then while I was ready to eat it I was disappointed that the fruit was old and soft. I'd understand if it was not fruit season but it's fruit season! read more

One of my favorite quick bites in Austin. Always get the Elotes. I mean who doesn't love corn in a cup? And Hay Elotes makes it with white corn, like the mexican staple should be made. Leave your yellow corn at home people! I always have to ask for extra chili, but really I have to do that just about everywhere. It's a little ran down and rough looking, but really no one is here for the 5 star atmosphere, we're here to shove mexican street foods into our mouths! The only draw back is the line, which isn't super long, but I have yet to go there and there not be a line. But that's even more proof that Hay Elotes know what they're doing. Nothing is quite as perfect on a hot day as a Mangonada and Mangonadas don't come quite as perfect as the ones here. Show up, enjoy the food, enjoy the company. The perfect stop for a snack or quick meal in the summer read more

Craziest snow cones I've ever seen, super fun and yummy! The line was out the door but didn't take super long, and the people working aren't rushing either read more

I was looking up spots to try in Austin, Texas and came across this spot. Came here on a Friday afternoon, it wasn't crowded. But we were a little confused to if it was in a food truck or the building. The parking lot was pretty full as we arrived, but luckily we were able to make a spot. Ordered the smallest elote in a cup. It was good, wished the Mayo was mixed in with everything except being on top. It also got really watery as you eat it. My friend got the chamoyada and it was good, wished it had mango chunks in it. Definitely will visit if I come back to Austin. read more

Definitely not something you could eat every day. My first time trying Elotes. Really delicious. So buttery and creamy. So rich. I would recommend for anyone to try but might want to share a cup with a friend. Its a lot of richness to eat at one time read more

I am so happy that I found Hay Elotes. Austin FINALLY has a LEGIT Mexican drink place. I've been here twice and both times I came out happy. The mango hill is definitely something to try! Their Elotes are made with white roasted corn, the way it should be made. Prices are a little high, but there is literally no other competition. read more

The older women who work there were very rude to my mom, one of them looked her up and down before asking what she would like. When asked for napkins to clean the dirty cup they gave her, they ignored her. We asked for 2 cups of elotes and when my mom asked for no butter the lady got mad and tried to say my mom had said everything on it when she hadn't said anything at all. If you're having a bad day there is no need to take your nasty attitude out on customers who haven't done anything to you. read more
