    Piña Colada Raspas
    Erin P.

    BEST raspas in town all the old school ice cream truck treats you could want. Servings are generous, fruit is REAL. Yummy coconut flakes in the coconut raspas. We drive alll the way across town for these.

    Mango Loco Italian Ice

    My husband's favorite stop when visiting his home town NEVER disappoints! Try the raspas or Italian ice. Our favorites are Sandia and Mango Loco or Mangonada. If you go here expecting a Dairy Queen you should probably just turn around because Las Nieves is nothing if not authentically true to it's roots.

    Grape and cherry raspas with cheesecake ice cream + tamarind and mango natural fruit shaved ice
    Aaron C.

    Visited in the heat of the day to cool down with some shaved ice. We got cherry and grape raspas + ice cream (cheesecake flavor) and tamarind and mango natural fruit shaved ice. All of the raspas are made with slightly larger pieces of ice (not shaved) and flavored with fruit syrups. This type of ice is analogous to what's in a typical snow-cone. You can add a scoop of ice cream (1 scoop for the small size, 2 for the large size) for about 50 cents more. I really liked how the large raspa had one of the scoops on the top of the ice and one in the middle of the cup, allowing you to enjoy the surprisingly good mix of flavored ice and ice cream all the way through. The large is more than enough for one person. The natural fruit shaved ice is more like Italian ice, shaved extremely fine and smooth. For some of the fruits, like mango, there are tiny pieces of actual fruit mixed throughout the ice. These tasted like the fruits themselves, not like any artificial version (although I'm sure they still add a bit of sweetener to them all). The only thing to complain about would be the long wait. Sometimes it may take up to 10 minutes to get your ice, but it's understandable seeing as the line never got shorter the entire time we were there. Additionally the seating is a bit run-down, but that's what you get for a side-of-the-road shaved ice operation. A wonderful variety of shaved ice at rock-bottom prices. 4.5/5 stars.

    I was expecting shaved ice

    The service was great, easy to read menu board and quick service. The actual food which a Chango was not good. I was expecting the ice to be sno cone but it wasn't. It was more like chopped ice. I was not a fan. Most likely will not return.

    I ventured out here with a girlfriend when we had some downtime after our teacher conference at the convention center downtown. We ordered a few different things and they were all yummy treats. The corn in a cup was just as expected--mayo, lime, cheese, a little chile powder. The pepino (cucumber) sundae was the real star of the show. With different flavors of shaved ice, a bunch of sweet and sour candies, and cucumber slices below, I couldn't believe how well the flavors meshed. Hope to find myself back in San Antonio soon to explore more of their massive menu.

    This place is amazing! Let me tell you, it has the best natural fruit shaved ice! Usually during the summer the lines get crazy and super long. Sometimes the line can turn people away, but it actually moves pretty fast. I was trying to think when I first started going here and it was when I was at my second job in 2009. That was a long time ago, but nevertheless my coworkers introduced me to this hidden gem. There was only one location at the time on Blanco Rd and then they opened this one. I go to either one. The service and product is consistent at both locations. You will be satisfied with any of the fruit shaved ice! My favorites are mango and strawberry. You can order them with lucas and chamoy or without. I usually get it plain and my sister orders it with chamoy and lucas. They have new flavors, so try them out if you haven't done so. You won't be disappointed!

    Best ice cream I've had in San Antonio plus it's affordable! Just be prepared to wait a REALLY long time in line cause the service is SLOW.

    Our first time here and the cashier was super helpful. They helped us understand the flavors and…read moresweetness level we desired for our drinks. We love supporting an LGBTQ business so we had to check it out for ourselves! The options given were honestly amazing! All the fruit is fresh and it's all natural no syrups that's a plus! The place is small but mighty! Lots of great reads and games to play. If you're in the area give them a try!

    This is a great female owned, warm and welcoming place. The space is quaint with a few tables and…read morevarious seating options. The big draw in is their variety of lemonade and quesitos (pastry). I ordered the double stuffed cream cheese and guava quesito and the passion fruit lemon-orange 75% lemonade. All of it was so delicious. Everything they made and is very fresh. Really enjoyed the lemonade it's the prefect relief on a warm day. The quesitos also come in a mini size for sharing and the lemonade can be bought in different sizes. While checking out I got some additional information from one of the owners. She said they have good powered wi-fi available for those who would like to come in and remote work while enjoying menu options. As well their menu will be expanding and they work to make oat milk and bring in more equipment for the drinks. They also sold other crafted goods such as jewelry. This is a great place to visit for a variety of reasons but mostly the delicious quesitos and lemonade!
