Nancy C.

It's been my favorite raspa place for a little over 15 years. My kids don't agree, because they are missing a raspa with ice cream called "snow". That reason alone is why I have a hard time coming here as much as I'd like to. Parenting at its finest... the kiddos run my household. When I am on a diet I like to have 2 chicken tostadas daily. It's a Mexican thing or maybe it's a Nancy thing, that's as much on diets as I know. Let's not forget the fruit; I always wash it down with a raspa de tamarino natural. Trust me it works. They also have corn in a cup, nachos, frito pie, fruit cocktails, and so much more. .

This place is very good and has so much to offer. When I'm in Pasadena I have to pick up my elote and clamatazo! It's so refreshing!

Stopped here for our first meal off the plane and it was something I thought about my entire time…read morein Houston. Randomly found this in between the airport and our hotel via yelp and I'm so happy we did. You can tell it's a local hot spot and its reputation speaks for itself. The inside is "small" but enough to sit at least 20-30 ppl. They have kiosks to order, you take your number and they call out your name when your order is ready. I was really impressed with the amount of items on their menu and know if I lived anywhere close my bad would be wide and my blood pressure high. The workers were very kind as well, I made a change in my order nearly 5mins after I ordered and they were gracious in accommodating my request which I very much appreciated. We had: Strawberry cheesecake Açaí bowl - 10/10 - it was perfect in every way. Bits of cheesecake, granola, strawberries and a drizzle of honey. This bowl alone could feed two people and three wouldn't be a stretch. I also had a strawberry vanilla soda type drink that I wish I got a larger size of because it was so good. Think a float without the thickness, it was refreshing and unique. Caramel Pecan Dream - wow 10/10 - it was so RICH and the consistency was amazing. The little bits of pecans were the perfect contrast to the creaminess of the shake itself. Burger and sweet potatoes fries - 10/10 - they do classics well too, no real notes but it was delicious.

Their cheese cake strawberry cheesecake ice cream is nothing short then delicious omg !it's…read moreperfect. They have yummy sorts of concession stand food. Everything they have is yummy. It pretty pricey The parking pavement is a a disaster full of deep pot holes uneven pavement. It tough on cars. Maybe trucks can get away with it. It run by young kids. Pretty friendly staff, the inside has a retro vibe. Give it a shot

There is plenty of seating both inside and out. I remember there used to be some interesting paintings/murals on the walls years ago, but they've since painted over these, and I think that was an excellent choice The staff were exceptionally friendly. They have two counters open for orders so waits are never too long. The menu can be seen in bright lettering over these counters so you can make your choices as you wait. You will receive a number and the staff will bring your food to you. They also bus the tables The menu is extensive with entrees, salads, soups, pressed and regular sandwiches. I've always been impressed that this place offers sandwiches you can't find in just any cafe like French dips, Reuben's, Monte cristo's, Cubans, and many others One of the main draws is their bakery. They have so many cakes, pies, and cookies to choose from. Many of their confectioneries are displayed in a case at the register The portions are hearty and the flavors are on point. I always have a great time Some tips: Their cowboy and seven layer bars are incredible, but most people go for the red velvet cookies. I have tried many dishes here, and I've never been disappointed, but for years and probably for ever I will continue to choose the Saint Charles. It's phenomenal. Also, they cater, so, consider them for work events and parties Cheers!!

I picked the Italian Cream, and OH MY GOOOODDDDDNESSS, this might have been one of the best cupcakes I have every had (and I have had way too many cupcakes in my lifetime). But, I was surprised to see they have more than these sweet treats. That should have been obvious because of all the savory smells when I walked in (although a little confusing in a cupcake shop). They offer chicken salad, both as a sandwich or in a small container. But there is so much more than that. They offer grab & go meals that I believe change daily; some examples that we saw on the board that day - bacon fried cabbage with sausage, creamy chicken Alfredo tortellini soup, poblano southwest pimiento cheese, Chicken and Dumplings, Homemade Chicken Spaghetti, and several other options. There are also keto options available. Tried both the original and the Harvest Chicken Salad. The Harvest mix was excellent, will get it again. But the original was meh for me, I just didn't enjoy it. So my hint is, ask if you can sample it before you buy one of the chicken salads so you can find the ones that are best for you. And, do NOT leave without a cupcake - you will thank me later.
