    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!

    This was a cute diner style restaurant. The staff was nice and the food was crazy good. A very nice…read morespot easily overlooked but locals know to come here. I added jalopeno for free to my burger (~13$ for burger) and it gave it such a nice kick. My bf said the food was bussin. The strawberry smoothie (~6$) took awhile but they did warn us and gave us water while they make it. The chili cheese fries were perfect, the fries texture was great and the chili cheese was nicely seasoned. Everything was delicious!

    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.

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.
