This is a cute little spot located in the very tiny town of Soledad. The vibes are like an old school ice cream spot, although with plenty of options. Okay, so the mangoneada cup is the only thing I've tried but it was absolutely delicious. A mixture of salty yet sweet, and a smoothie like texture for a nice refresher. Definitely recommend this to anyone who's in the area. read more

I love this place they always have the most unique and different foods that you can't find anywhere else or not a lot of places they're always so good and tasty. We were driving back from a king city in so I suggest we stop here because there's one in Watsonville but I love it so much read more

Lalo's Mexican Antojitos - Mini Churros - Mexican Near Me - Soledad, California

My daughter and I were craving something cold and delightful and we decided to stop at Lalos. Let me tell you, the pictures do not do the Mangonadas justice! They are delicious, not too sweet and it has a nice smoothie shaved ice texture! The Chamoy and tajin consistency/ratio was perfect! The best mangonada i ever had, my daughter agrees too! I ordered the bionic and asked for no melon, and no apples I just wanted the mango, banana and strawberry it also came with, next time ill do without the mango too, its hit and miss with mango texture and sweetness! Their bionico sauce was delicious, for a bionics and large mangonada i paid 16.75 its a lil pricey but worth the freshness, staff was nice, great pic ops, only complaint was the smell Inside was a little displeasing smelt like old cleaning supplies. We will def be returning! read more

Come for the elote. Stay for the reggaeton. Stopped here by chance on a road trip. Was going to go to a usual chain fast food but found this little gem next door. read more

Clean, friendly service, fun atmosphere, safety signs and space markers throughout with hand sanitizer readily available the moment you walk in. They have a cheeky sign up that explains they're not fast food, they're good food that takes time to look and taste great- 100% agree! Each creation someone walked out with was perfect and mouthwatering! read more

Been here 2 times. First time treats were yummy (corn in a cup w/hot Cheetos & Açaí bowl.) Second time I ordered pepinos locos which seemed yummy and I had heard of them and seen that they're filled with peanuts and pickled pork skin. I was very disappointed that my cucumbers were not filled with anything. They only had 2 peanuts inside and I have seen the cucumbers are carved deep down and filled. Mine were not :( Won't be ordering these again. We got a piña colada smoothie and that was delicious! Service is a bit slow. read more

I have been here four times and three out of the four were NOT good experiences. The first time I went there I ordered a Chili sandia and it was great! The second time I ordered the same thing and it was not the same. It tasted old. (No the season of fruit was not different either because I went within the span of two weeks). The third time I got a mangonada and the mango was super hard. So finally I decided one to take one last shot at this place because I really enjoyed it the first time. Here is what happened: My dad ordered a strawberry yogurt, when they gave it to him there were strawberries, mangos, and a bunch of other fruits on it. He told them he ordered it with only strawberries. (He has a health condition when it comes to other fruits so that's why he can only have strawberries) They told him that's just the way it comes. He told them he ordered only strawberry AND THEY DID NOTHING. Didn't offer to remake it or a refund. All they did was give him a blank stare?? That is HORRIBLE customer service, I gave this place many chances but treating my dad the way they did, I'm done here. I rather go across the street to foods co, get my own fruits, and make it myself. Probably would be cheaper anyway. read more

Never disappoints! We've been coming to Lalo's for our antojitos ever since it opened, they've always been friendly and the quality has always been good even when they were slammed. I was sad to see the low ratings but upon reviewing the submissions it seems that people would rather have the McDonald's equivalent of their antojitos: fast and low quality. Fortunately you won't get that at Lalo's and if that's what you're aiming for you can go elsewhere. I on the other hand will continue coming here for my antojitos! read more

Absolutely terrible. I've given this place many chances and yet I'm disappointed everytime. But this time will definitely be the last time. I went in ordered a elote in a cup and Agua Fresca. Waited about 45 min for my order. Agua Fresca had no ice, and the corn half the cup was nothing but mayonnaise. What a complete waste of money and time. read more

Such a craving spot!!! I love the trip from king city to Salinas bcuz I could stop half way to Lalo's and grab a quick bite. I tried the biónico the other day and it was so yummy! I have a few more trips so I could try everything here! Lol ! So far I loved everything I've tried. read more

Lalo's Mexican Antojitos - Cucumber drink and corn cup - Mexican Near Me - Soledad, California

That's all fine and dandy on paper. The whole community KNOWS the phone in your business NEVER gets answered though. Other reviews say the same thing. You may not be fast food, but in all reality it's not food you are serving. Nothing has to be made from scratch lol, it's not a gourmet restaurant. Give me a break! Opening bags of chips, is not making food from scratch. read more

Was super excited to try this place and it was delicious! But the blonde young lady who helped me out was rude and I wasn't excited to order anymore after that /: read more

They need more employments! Very slow service! .................................................... read more

Very disappointed with the Watsonville location. The girl on the register was not friendly or welcoming at all. The entire place was a mess. The floors and tables were supper dirty. The area were the food is being prepared looked dirty and super messy. I also noticed that the workers don't change their gloves as they are going to prepare a different order. I don't appreciate that they touch cheese and aother products and then use the same gloves to make an agua fresca. My agua de limón tasted like a Minute Maid Lemonade. This is just a big NO.. NO!! I wouldn't recommend this place at all!! read more

Their sign warns head of time. "We are not a fast food place, we make good food as fast as we can while keeping it Instagram-able. So please hang loose! We only ordered the smoothly and a mangonada which were delish and worth the 15 min wait! Next time, and there will be a next time, we are excited to order the elote offerings! Fresh corn options done Mexican style! Do not believe the 2.5 rating unless it's for speed! Which they warned you about when you ordered! read more

Fun looking authentic drinks! The wait was a little long for what we were getting, but definitely some good treats for a hot day!

I found this place on Instagram and was so excited to try this place with my boyfriend and his sister. The photos on instagram hold up to their truth in person, but looks can be deceiving. I got the mangoneadas and almost all of the mango was disgustingly unripe and hard. Same for the mango yogurt that my boyfriend received. The crazy nachos were decent, but we ran put of chips with a ton of topping left. Elote cups: ok if you really like cream. Now for the customer service: awful. My boyfriend was very nice the three times he asked for napkins and utensils, but the first time he asked for napkins the reply was "idk where we keep those sorry" how do you work somewhere and not know where napkins are?! Insane. The food is good but not good enough to make up for the service.. read more

very disappointed spent $20 for corn on the cup and pepinos locos. If you are charging your customers that much your fruit should be at least fresh. The cucumbers were really old and almost turning bad! yuck and what happened to the fillings back then they were carved out and fill with lots of fruits, candies and Japanese peanuts the quality of this place is only worried how good their snacks will look on instagram while forgetting about giving us the customers "good" food today the food was not "worthy for eating" maybe worthy for the ig posts read more

This is for the WATSONVILLE location!!! I decided to give Lalo's a try and picked it over the Michoacána. Worst mistake of my life. I understand you barley opened about less than a month ago but you should really make sure ur employees are trained. First of all ur cashier had me waiting for at least 10 minutes because she dissapeared to the back. Then she didnt hand me change and proceeded to tell me she would give it to me in a bit. Later I come to find out she didnt even take my order right. So tell me why it was almost $20 for 3 things and one of them being a single scoop of Ice cream and I couldn't even argue because no receipt was given. As my things were being made all three kids ( I mean kids still on high school) were standing there because no one knew how to make it. And then the girl who took my order made it without gloves or washing her hands and she made it wrong and forgot one of the main parts the jicama. No forks were giving only napkins. And the worst part was the ice cream took the longest to get. At the end the cashier gave me my icecream without a spoon (the girl ignored me when I asked for one she was having a conversation with her coworker) and then proceeded to tell me she never charged me for the other one and then told me if I wanted another it would be $3 more like $2 since she still had my one dollar. I then said no I just want that one and then asked if I wanted a $1 scoop or my change of course I said change and left Never going back not worth $20 or the struggle. In end you need more training and BETTER customer service!! Not worth the hype at all! read more

Overhyped in my opinion. They don't have an AC so it's always hot and smelly inside. Also they never have half there menu or always missing something. They have rats and roaches and have mosquitoes and flies sit on the food before giving it out too customer so I would think twice about going. Employees are given no training and treated poorly. I heard if there injured on the job there asked too tell the doctor it was "nonwork" related. Owner fights with customers kinda nasty. Also health department closed them down for 1 week but they decided too stay open and cover up the reason why they really closed. Owner will probably respond claiming these are fake accusations but I have proof in video recordings and health department documents. So try me and I'll post everything on social media and make sure you shut down. Or worse call the health department. :) read more

Best mangonidas and nachos ! We drive out here once in a while but worth the drive. Just look at the hours as they close early. We ended sitting out side next door but all delicious. Great binocios, Tostilocos, Nachos, aguas and corn! read more

So this place started as a very cute place I remember there was an older lady who was usually always there and maybe her son? I'm not sure. Anyways they got new ownership and the treats remained the same and then they became more popular on Instagram and just stopped caring about providing quality service. They don't answer their phones. They don't open on time I've given them multiple chances because at the end of the day they are a local business but every single time these guys disappoint. Their treats may be good but they're the only place in town like this and they take advantage of it. I hope they realize if someone else in the town of soledad opens up a business like them they'd lose more than half of their customers for their awful service. I've messaged them about it in the past and all they've been able to say is "We sorry :(" also if you do plan to go plan to wait 40 mins for your food. I'm not sure if it's the lack to want to employee to profit more or what but they only ever have 2 people working sometimes if you're lucky 3 but the wait is forever. read more

This place is super welcoming. The cashier was amazing and so helpful, gave us sample of the fruit so we can taste the sweetness of the fruit. read more

I've been here once while visiting my sister. A little pricey, service was a bit slow... but the snacks were good. I'm visiting my sister today, so I'll definitely be stopping by... read more

I was so disappointed with the quality of the food. After waiting about 15 minutes for two orders of nachos with no other orders but ours we received our nachos with stale chips and stale hot Cheetos. I personally think this is the worst place to come by. Such a waste of money when I could of made better nachos at home. I got these because I was going to watch a volleyball game and the nachos at the high school concession stand were 10x better. Only giving them a one star because that's the lowest rating possible. So disappointed, NEVER AGAIN. read more

Yay!! So glad I found this place on Instagram! I got a small Mexican Street Corn with Hot Cheetto crust. It was a very good portion but I wish it was packaged a bit more for to-go orders. I will be returning with my friends soon! read more

worst place ever! ive waited 45 minutes for my order. he got my order wrong i ordered churro locos and they told me they were out of clamato after they gave my churro locos this is ridiculous how are you guys going to give me something when youre out of the main ingredient. literally pathetic the workers didnt seem to care to over hyped read more

Point straight. . I get better service/manners from the damn Paletero on my block ! Not worth all the hype from this place. Better off going to the East Side and not feel like a burden just by walking through the front door. read more

Super over priced!! I've been there about 2 times it's okay. Not all that. The staff that has helped me has been nice for the most part but the stuff they have is just really over priced. I got a medium horchata last time and it was freakin 5 bucks!!! That's ridiculous. I would have canceled but I figured that will be my last time going in. read more

Bad customer service the people that work there are very rude i went in ordered an agua de limon it took them 30 minutes then they said they had already gave it to me when they didnt asked the girl for my money back was very disrespectful rolled her eyes at me never going back to this place ! read more

This place is amazing, the food and drinks are delicious. You won't be disappointed in anything you get. I like that there are options for adults and for children. I highly recommend coming here. The drive is worth it for me and my family. read more

Est place in Soledad. Love the treats. Only thing g missing is online orders for quick pickup and faster service. Hands down great spot to get your favorite treats. read more

I came here with my husband and his brother a few weeks ago and was very impressed. Though I must admit the music playing was a bit loud, it takes you away from the quiet reality of life and throws you into some kind of hot Cheeto party. The prices are very fair as is the quality is there. Many people complain about the service in their reviews; however, the current cashier offered no sass or drama. She did her job and did it well. I hadn't been to this shop for a while. I first came here when I discovered I was going to have a baby, and the morning sickness didn't allow me to drink anything other than the delicious fresh strawberry smoothies this shop offers. Though these reviews are negative, I must vouch for this place as a Yelp Elitist and encourage everyone to try this place or give it a second shot. It's a quality place. Also, they carry Marianne's Ice Cream. read more

Really good stuff. They just take forever to make one drink. I took maybe like 30+ min just to get a milkshake from there. It was good so that's why I'm giving 3 stars. But overall employees should really pick up the paste. I understand that everything is made there as soon as you order it but come on. read more

(Watsonville, CA) location and I'm going to be nice in this review. The stuff they sell it's pretty good I would actually give it 3/4 stars. BUT if u really want to try this place out BE PREPARED TO WAIT FOR 30min TO AN HOUR or more!!!!!! (Ridiculous I know) So I'm a big time supporter of small local owned business especially because my family also owns local businesses as well, so why not support them and especially right now during this crazy covid pandemic. So I've given this place 3-4 times a try and they ALWAYS mess up. In the past I didn't really complain because I understand we all make mistakes. But my last visit was just soooo bad. So me n my husband get there coming all the way from Salinas to Watsonville we get there and there's no1 in line (thank god we thought) so we get helped they take our order no receipt was give 5 min later a lady of 5 comes and places an order then another lady comes and places a small order so now we're waiting for 25 minutes and the lady of 5 who came after me gets her stuff and she ordered more than us she ordered a Sandilla loca n 3 shakes 3 corns and more. So I looked at my husband and told him hey I thought we ordered 1st so I went up to the register and asked in a nice manner way "I'm sorry to but is our order coming and she asked me oh under what name and gave her the name then she told me it's coming up right next. Lies! Then the lady who also was the register lady goes back to make orders by this time we already have 45 min waiting so then she calls out the 3 lady who came 15min after us and also gave 2 ph orders. I told my husband that's it I had. I go up AGAIN to the register I asked the lady umm we're still waiting for our order. Her response was umm sorry what can we get for u? I told her umm we placed an order with u here under this name... and she was with me? (No sh;"*# who else is taking orders) my husband steps in and say yes we placed an order with u about almost an hour ago here in line.She said really then goes to check in the back to see if they were making it. Comes back and tells me and my husband oh we lost ur order (r u kidding me! so she offers to make it in 2min I told her r u sure in 2min Not 30min then she was well I can give u ur money back we are a small business etc she started making a bunch of excuses I don't want excuses I want u guys to make it right! I thought ok she might give us a discount for waiting and losing my order or give me a small refund (which I would really appreciate since we waited and were given wrong sizes )Nope this lady kept going I told her I understand u guys are new etc but still this place needs to step it up. So then we get our food and they gave us the wrong size(s) but we we charged for the lager size we just grabbed our stuff n left So they made me wait over an hr lost my order over charged me. Soo unless ur a "beauty influencer" u get royal treatment n we get the sh*#y service and have to wait I say this bcuz there's some local influencers who live In the same town n get the top fast service just saying what I've seen. Also they delete my comments of their IG if u guys can't take creative criticism then u guys are in the wrong industry. I would definitely love for the manager to contact me not to fight or argue but for u guys to make it right! As they say customer service is fundamental.As a customer/consumer I feel like I paid for a service that was definitely not delivered several times.So yelper u have been warned! read more

The first time i went it was really good, but every time i went back i was disappointed. It was either messed up, not the right size, or tasted off. Gave it a few more chances, but this last time.. i ordered a mango agua fresca and it tasted like they used beans instead. 10/10 love it read more

This place is amazing! You dream it they create it! You must stop by and try it out! They have anything from icecream to hot cheetoes with corn amazing! read more
