Out of all the places in Visalia, this place has the best raspados. I've had about every raspado that I know of in Visalia and it's not even close. I'm talking about the natural flavors and not the artificial flavors. They do take their time because they are well made. I went on Friday and got the mango lime mix raspado and it was delicious. If you're new to Visalia I recommend you give them a try and get natural flavored raspados. read more

Maxi Raspados - Raspado De Fresa with the extra Lechera - Shaved Ice Near Me - Visalia, California

Hey y'all I wanted to take a moment and and give some feedback and praise to this small business near downtown Visalia. Maxi Raspado always seems to have a good amount of people and I happen to pass by today right before their rush, so the wait time was pretty much zero. The environment seem very inviting and clean. And the staff was very kind and service oriented. Ordered the bananas, plat with strawberry, chocolate, vanilla, ice cream, Period. It was very rich and creamy. So I'm assuming that they are using quality ice cream for their business. I definitely indulged. And I also had a Mexican shaved ice treat called a raspado de leche quemada con nuez. This was creamy, rich in flavor, and the use of real walnuts played extremely well with flavors of the leche quemada. This place is 10 out of 10 on the flavor scale! Price was on point for the types of goodies consumed. And service was also a 10 out of 10. Thank you Maxi Raspados and I will definitely be back plenty more times over the summer. read more

The best raspados in town. We've visited several other locations similar to this one and nobody's raspado flavors compare to Maxi Raspados. This is the only place we visit when wanting a natural flavored raspado and know we won't be disappointed. read more

A delicious & little-known local treasure! Their homemade ice cream is very tasty with some exotic flavors. They also make great smoothies, iced coffee, & bionicos (something I didn't know about before: a sweet fruit salad with granola & sweet cream....so amazing!) They also opened up a newer location on Houston by Ben Maddox, which doesn't offer as many things on the menu, but has the same ice cream & paletas. read more

I love the bionic here. They also have homemade ice cream but I haven't tried that yet They do take debit now.

seriously the best raspado place ever. I've been coming here for over 10 years, & now visit every time I'm home from college, & make sure my friends try it from out of town. I'm yet to find another place this good in the Bay or SD. read more

Maxi Raspados - Shaved Ice Near Me - Visalia, California

Best raspados in the area. Only negative thing is that they take a long time and they refuse to take orders over the phone. Person over the phone would not allow me to place an order over the phone and made no exceptions even if I made payment over the phone. So unless you have a lot of time to wait around for your order. It's not the place for you. read more

Maxi Raspados - i think one was a strawberry mango raspado and one other a chamango - Shaved Ice Near Me - Visalia, California

Excellent shaved ice. This is one of those places you don't want to share with others because it's good and the people who work here clearly care about the quality. They have natural flavors that actually taste like they are not processed. They also have your processed flavors but I can't speak to those because I have not tried them. I highly recommend this place. They are nice and quick. read more

I visited this place yesterday and got a crepe with strawberries, bananas, and no ice cream for $7.50. Went back today, ordered the exact same thing, and was charged $8.50. I don't mind the extra dollar, but where's the consistency? I didn't get any extra Nutella, even though that was supposedly the reason for the price difference. If I had known, I would have just gotten the ice cream for the same price and added my own Nutella at home like I did both times. A little more transparency and consistency would go a long way! read more

Im not one to complain and rant but today just showed me how this business is not taking accountability and willing to fix their mistakes. Today Sept 1, 2025 My kids, sister and I decided to go to Maxi's and get some raspados. We got there got in line and ordered. My FIRST order was a S raspado of Nance with lechera(condensed milk) , then I ordered a S vanilla raspado. The lady then asked if I wanted a Leche Quemada (burnt milk) or Vanilla Amarilla (yellow Vanilla) I told her yellow vanilla with lechera, then ordered and esquite (corn w/hot Cheetos) some plain takis and another S raspado coconut w/ pineapple. I payed and got my number and waited. My number gets called and I go up to receive my order.... They give me almost everything and then they give a raspado that looks dark. The lady tells me it's leche quemada (burnt milk) I kindly tell her that's not what I ordered. She closes the window and starts talking behind the window. Then the lady that took my order come to the window and tells me "this is what you ordered" I tell her no and I run down the order word for word with what I ordered and she decides to tell me "that's not what I understood" "I understood you say leche quemada(burnt milk)" I then tell her Ive never even had that before so I wouldn't even know what it tastes like. She tell me it taste like cajeta, and I kindly tell her im sorry but that's not what I ordered. She says "let me talk to the manager and see what they say" comes back less then a minute later and says " I can't take it back , I would have to charge you for a new one" I was honestly shocked and told her but why if that's not what I ordered and I've never even tasted this flavor before... She just shrugged and handed me the raspado. At this point I didn't want to press it further and took it and left. But I have never been more disappointed in their customer service EVER!!! The lack of accountability and wanting to correct and please a PAYING customer is crazy to me!!!!! As far as I know now this place is not what it use to be. I grew up doing here and seeing how greedy they are NOW just shows the depths of the owner!. read more

This place is great for a snack stop! They have a lot of options for a sweet or salty treat. The wait can be a while but that's because they do have quite a lot of customers. There is only a small parking lot in front so take that into consideration when you go. Everything we ordered was yummy, def recommend stopping by! read more

Maxi Raspados it is good Raspados similar in my country Guanajuato. I love Guava,coco and leche quemada the price is not to spent when I find this place reminds my town read more

I honestly cannot complain. We haven't had anything bad from here. The little shop connected has the most delicious ice cream and delicious tamarind treats. My son likes the elote esquites. With the the mayo, and the chili. I got the one with the hot Cheetoh 'dust' I guess you can say. I should have asked for extra chili because it wasn't very hot. The corn was cooked perfectly but I wasn't a fan of the amount of corn water on the bottom of the cups. Gave the overall taste more watery. I usually get their diablito or the manganeada. Both are amazing. The regular raspados are also very good. I've also had the Chamango and chamarindo and chamoyada. All are amazing. Location: it's convenient. In route to Dinuba blvd and down the street from Main Street. It's a tasty place with loads of options. read more

Giving one star for horrible customer service. Literally waited 1 hour for 4 raspados in 90 degree weather. No notification no updates no anything. Call and ask for wait time before going & ordering!!!! Especially if you have small kids with you read more

Came here to get some relief from this Central Valley heat! They have an array of different shaved iced flavors as well as other Mexican favorites. My wife and I both got a shaved ice. Fair warning they can be very sweet. My wife got the leche quemada and nuez (burnt milk ans pecans). And no it doesn't taste burnt it's just what it's called. It's actually more of a steamed sweet milk. I got the coconut and pineapple. We went again a couple days later and I decided to go with just a natural lime flavor as I found the first one to be a bit sweet for my liking. Cash is always king here , you can use card but they do charge an additional fee.. so just FYI. read more

Very long lines in the summer. Great small business with good prices. We tried the bubble gum raspado and nachos, simple. There's a variety of endless sweets and chili snacks. read more

My kids and I love coming to this place. Everything we've gotten here has been delicious. My favorite things to get here is pepino locos, tostilocos y esquite. I've gotten other items and they were good but I always go back to my favorites. The only down fall is they don't have the best parking which fills up quickly. read more

It's a bit pricey but over all good. Paid $16 for a bag of chips and a mangoneada. The raspados were a good price. Paid $4.50 for a small and you can get 2 flavors read more

If ever in the mood for some fresh fruit drinks give this place a try. They offer a large selection of thirst quenching beverages. I ordered fresh mango with chili powder "sorry I forgot the correct name" but one thing I do remember it was delicious! Costumer service was great and service was quick. ENJOY! read more

They have Good variety and Friendly service. Would go again next time I am in downtown Visalia.

Was just there, not busy at all and they still managed to take forever! Just gossiping and working so slow probably because the owner isn't there. Same reason I don't go more often, slow service! read more

You can't go wrong with ice, fruit, and milk. This place is pretty amazing and they know what they're doing. Small place, just a window outside to order and then another window for pick up. Usually a line but they serve fast so no need to wait long. I had their strawberry raspados with condensed milk. A must if you like creamy strawberry stuff. Had a good blend of chopped fresh strawberries and mixed just enough milk to not make it too sweet. I've also had their Glorias, basically the same but with bananas chopped also. Yummy! Just recently had their leche quemada with walnuts! Very delicious if you like nuts, creamy nutty and and cold. Such a nice shaved iced in the hot valley weather. And don't forget about their extensive menu, lots of good things to try. I haven't yet tried them all but will soon! Snacks I've tried is the equite Aka elote in a cup, steamed corn kernels with mayo cheese and bottled hot sauce! Yum! Also had their fruit cocktail, cucumbers, pineapples, mango, and jimaca drenched in lime juice and the mexican fruit spice. Overall, I can't have enough of this place. Even though you might not know Spanish there are pictures to show you what you will be getting, a total plus for those of us not knowing Spanish but looking for a sweet place to eat! :) read more

I love this place. They have tons of flavors for raspados (shaved ice), the best elotes, and bomb drinks. I grabbed a coconut drink... Ah-mazing! Tonight I ordered an elote, un esquite (Corn in a cup), coconut drink, and bubblegum raspado and paid $9. Not too shabby. Oh, and the raspados make a great treat for the kids while at the park on a hot, sunny day. If you're scared to go because of the neighborhood, just don't go at night. Otherwise, you're safe. read more

Maxi Raspados - The menu - Shaved Ice Near Me - Visalia, California

This place is a local favorite!! They have quite an extensive menu and have something for everyone. My personal favorite is the Glorias raspado. It has banana, strawberries, sweetened condensed milk, and a sprinkle of cinnamon on top. I love it!!! My husband usually gets the strawberries con crema (strawberries and cream). It's always yummy too. The only draw back is that this place is not in the nicest area however, the place is almost always so busy that there are plenty of people around and you never have any problems. I also believe that they are a cash only business. So if you find yourself in need of a snack or sweet treat, head to Maxi Raspados! You won't be disappointed!!! read more

It's Good , a little pricy the lines are always long . I wouldn't go back all the time just cus it's a little pricy it does have lots of options . read more

It used to be the best but now the service sucks it looks like the hired only lazy people. four people standing, cashier goes to the restroom no service until cashers get out of the restroom seven minutes 10 minutes meanwhile the other one sus standing doing nothing give me a f break read more

If you're in Visalia and you don't stop here, something is wrong. This place is a must for the sweet tooth enthusiast. If there was only one thing only that you could order from here, We would have to pick the Raspado de Leche Quemada con Nuez. You won't regret it. But besides the fact, everything else on their menu is almost as good. Enjoy! read more

The cashier was so rude! We are new to the area where confused about the menus since there is another ice cream place right next to it and the cashier was just so annoyed that my husband had questions about a raspado he wanted to try, she was just rude ! read more

Prices have been rised simce the last time I came which has been just a couple of weeks. It would be much of a problem, except that while the prices rised, the quality actually decreased, which doesn't make sense. read more

This place is A M A Z I N G! I have been a customer since they first started at this location in their little food trailer. They are proof that if you hustle hard dreams do come true. Nos gusta mucho su lugar y su forma de ser. Muy buen sabor en todo lo que hacen. Nuestros favoritos, tigers blood, todos los raspados, el bionico! Bionico is my favorite we have traveled 17 states and nothing like Maxis! You guys are the best! read more

Honestly. I like Maxi Raspados for *some of their items. But this was the first time I ordered a tostiloco and will honestly be my last time. My chips had no sauce or chili at all and I don't remember only ordering cueritos with my tostiloco because that's all I basically got. I'm not trying to bash on them but if you're going to over price a bag of tostilocos ($6.50) at least be sure to them make them better than the other stores around. Wasted my time tonight and money read more

Business was very nice and we were treated very kind. However the raspados that we tried (3 of them) all came out overly sweet to the point that I couldn't finish mine. The potential was there so I hate to give a bad review, but my honest opinion. read more

Nothing close to this AMAZING between here and anywhere, including border cities in Mexico. Guayaba con leche quemada is

Wow! My chamarindo that I got was absolutely the best raspado I've ever had for $5 you can't beat that price. It had fresh tamarind, tamarind candy around a straw, chili, lemon juice and it's like sweet, sour and spicy all bursting in your mouth like fireworks. Omg! The patrons are friendly and sweet people. I can see why they are so busy! read more
