    Yum! Always saw this truck while driving and decided to stop and get my kids some snow cones. They have plenty of different fruit syrups to choose from and then you can choose a topping. We got condensed milk on both per reviews on Yelp. Never have had a snow cone like this before! The condensed milk makes it all like a creamy snow cone. And for only $4, it's totally worth it. Definitely should stop by and give it a try, but be sure to bring cash because that's all they accept for payment.

    This place has some of the best snow cones I've ever had! Make sure you get the sweetened condensed milk as a topping, you won't regret it. I love how their fruit syrups actually have pieces of fresh fruit in them. I've never been to a place that does that and it is a game changer! On the weekends, there's usually a decent line of people waiting to order. But we didn't have to wait that long so I was impressed with how quickly they got through the line. Important note that it's CASH ONLY and our snow cones were $4 each (we both got 3 flavors and 1 topping).

    Mama Rosa's Ice is my favorite place to get minutas (snow cone). A minuta is basically a hispanic version of shaved ice. It has the shaved ice, whatever flavors you want, condensed milk, and tamarindo. It's so good especially on a really hot day like today. The food truck is located right off of rt 28 in the Mega Mart shopping center. I think this food truck is seasonal because I only really see it out during the summer, which makes sense since all they serve is the minutas. I've also seen other Mama Rosa's Ice trucks in Arlington, Alexandria, and Woodbridge so it's nice that they have other locations. Definitely recommend if you're in the area.

    Delicious! I've had them twice; first as the catered lunch at a conference and again via their food…read moretruck. Clean, appetizing, and professional presentation each time. I especially enjoyed the jollof street bowl, brisket, macaroni and cheese, and the variety of cookies. The service was great, especially from Mike, the owner.

    Saw them on TikTok a few weeks ago, tried to catch them at an event at the Springfield Mall but…read moremissed them as they were sold out of most things. Saw another TT that they were at Lorton Station so I stopped by! I would recommend pre-ordering if you want to try their food or get there early so they don't sell out. We had pre-ordered our food for pickup at 5 and didn't get it until 5:30, but that's just because they were busy and trying to fulfill orders before us. It did kind of suck waiting, but it was delicious. My ribs were tender, seasoned with the approval of the ancestors. The mac was warm, cheesy, and a bit creamy all in one bite. The yams were just sweet, cinnamon goodness. And the green beans were smothered in a gravy of yumminess. My husband had the fish which unfortunately was a little too fried but he still enjoyed the food. While we waited, we did overhear him tell a few customers they were sold out of some things, so if you are thinking of trying them, get them when you see them, don't wait...especially at an event or pre-order if you have a chance. I will be back.
