    Agua Fresca - Watermelon, Mango, Strawberry
    Candice R.

    Just left from trying for the first time. OMG this Mixed Fruit Agua Fresca is sooooo refreshing!! Mango, Watermelon, and Strawberry.... YUMMY!! Both ladies were super nice and welcoming. Even though there was a slight language barrier, we figured things out together, and she had a bright smile the entire time. The other lady told me she's still learning English, I told her no worries and no rush, she'll definitely get it in no time. Both ladies were full of smiles. I can't wait to go back and try more things!

    Mangonadas!!

    The fiancé was looking for a Mexican ice cream place that landed us at La Monarca Michoacana! They have ice cream bars with fresh fruit frozen in them, home made ice cream, and Mangonadas!!! Some of the ladies didn't speak English but they always have someone there who does! I believe they also serve hot foods like elotes, etc. But let's backtrack to that mangonada.. it's all we come here for now. It's frozen in little cups and when you order it, they run a knife through it, add some chamoy and fresh lime juice and it is absolutely delicious and refreshing. You get the sweetness of the mangos, there's definitely frozen mango chunks in it, the salt of the chamoy and a little bit of spice! So so good! Come get one and thank me later!

    Always great service and so delicious! 10/10 recommend, the staff is so friendly. Inside is also very cute and has a great atmosphere.

    My friends have picked up ice creams for me from this place earlier. They usually have a deal where you buy 10 paletas and get 2 free. This is also very affordable place where the Paletas are of $2-3 each. I ordered cookies and cream this time and got 2 whole Oreos in my paletas. It tasted awesome. My friend got strawberry and cream and it literally had strawberry pieces in it. I surely recommend.

    Mangonada especial

    Hidden gem in the area for mangonadas and homemade ice cream. I've stopped here once before and decided to stop again. I purchased two mangonadas especial that came with salsaghetti and gummi worms/bears for $5.50 each. I couldn't resist their arroz con leche paletas, so I picked up two of those as well. Upon entering, the place was extremely clean looking. They lost one star though due to customer service - an employee noticed me as I walked in and left the area for a good two to three minutes before returning without saying a word to me. Overall, the mangonadas were very tasty. They are previously frozen, so it takes a bit of the Houston heat to soften them up. Their paletas are delicious too, but a bit pricey at $2 a pop.

    This is right next door to our favorite Peruvian restaurant so I had to try it. I always measure a new ice cream place by their coffee scoop. They measure up very well with their almond coffee scoop. I'll be back for more.

    Eggnog on the left and mexican cheese. Nieve cheers!
    Lauren M.

    I've been to a few specialty ice cream shops and also a couple of paleta spots. I personally used to go to el Pibe by Crosstimbers area and buy the coconut flavor La Brisa brand. I tried this spot because we had Peruvian food next door and wanted something sweet. I decided to try the mexican cheese flavor, eggnog and regular chocolate. The tongue coatness level is over 100%. It's like eating custardy frozen milk! The flavors for the 3 that we got are on point. I would prefer no raisins in the eggnog but it didnt ruin the flavor at all. I will be back and try their paletas when I am not so full!

That alone made the experience feel thoughtful and welcoming. They are also open late, which I loved. I had already dined in the area, so this ended up being the perfect post dinner treat. I have been here before, but it had been a long time, and it was great to return and enjoy it again. The ambience was warm and inviting, and the overall environment made it easy to relax and enjoy the moment. I ordered a kid's cup, and it was honestly the perfect amount. Anything larger would have been too much for me, so the price point felt very fair for the portion and quality. I also tried the macaron and the tea. Both were fine but nothing standout for me. I have had better macarons and better tea elsewhere, and as someone who really appreciates good tea, it was decent but not something I would go back for specifically. That said, the gelato alone is absolutely worth returning for and even making a drive for. The space itself is very small and cozy, more of a boutique style spot. It is ideal for individuals, couples, or very small groups. Larger groups may prefer to enjoy their treats outdoors around the plaza and then move along, as this is more of a grab and go or short stay kind of place. Overall, I would definitely be back. The gelato is truly the star here and well worth it.

Consequently, Yelpers should not be surprised the…read moreparking is mostly in paid lots, just like in every major city in the US--Cocos does not deserve to lose a star for this as in some reviews that brought down their average. You may order online, in shop through a tablet, or with a person at the register. We used the register because we did not see the tablet and did not want to order ahead online. The ladies who helped us on our visit were very nice. You get a number and they call it when your made to order food is ready. We did not have to wait long. There was medium to low noisy ambiance. It was deserted when we arrived, but they have relatively loud background music. While we were eating it got pretty crowded. Mostly a lot of young people in the middle of the day on a Monday. The inside is small, seating both inside and outside are limited and close together. One lady was studying with her laptop, but there are no plugs. The breakfast sandwich is customizable. We got it on a croissant and with sausage. The eggs had a unique texture and the sandwich a unique flavor that we could not place, but both were very tasty. We also wanted a crepe, but we split the sandwich and it was sufficient. We also got a small mocha and a decaf, both were ok to good. We would definitely come back again and recommend that you give them a try for a crepe or sandwich. It is sad that a few Yelpers brought down their average to 3.8 stars due to petty and unjustified complaints such as having to pay for parking downtown. Other complaints are not the business' fault such as periodic homelessness--it is a downtown area in the US, other cities have far worse homelessness than Midtown Houston and we saw none on this visit. Additionally, complaints about takeout orders are mostly petty. Takeout is never as good as eating at the restaurant and so customers should adjust their expectations rather than dock the business stars. Nearly every recent Yelp review for this who ate at the restaurant gave 4-5 stars for food quality and customer service. Like most of the restaurants in this area it is a pretentious yuppy style place with specialized food. Although not usually our type of place (we like down to earth hole in the wall places with good food or taco truck type restaurants), Coco's is a solid 4 star restaurant for the type of place they are and they offered a 5 star experience on our visit. Again, recommend you give them a try if you are in the mood for crepes or sandwiches.

    To start, great location! Cute little Coffee/Breakfast Shop…read moreon Gray St. It wasn't busy so the service was pretty quick. Everything is made to order. This was my first time coming here so my girlfriend and I ordered a fee items to get the full experience. We both ordered a beverage, i ordered a Vanilla Chai and she had the Caramel Cococcino. Both were very good. As for food, we ordered a Chicken Breakfast Sandwich(pictured), Cinnamon Roll Crepe (Pictured), Dulce De Leche Crepe with Almonds and Strawberries (pictured), and a strawberry cheesecake crepe (not pictured but looked like a normal crepe with powdered sugar). My favorites were the strawberry cheesecake and the cinnamon roll. My girlfriend's favorite was the Dulce De Leche and the strawberry cheesecake. Neither one of us cared for the breakfast sandwich too much, not sure if it was the wheat bread or the flavorless chicken. A couple of days ago we came back to try a couple of white mocha's and the breakfast sandwich again but with the Moroccan Sausage. We have determined-the breakfast sandwich will not be ordered anymore. But again the drinks were good. Overall, we will be back. The staff is nice, the drinks are good and so are the Crepes.
