I have been coming here since 2012 and just recently this year (2015) The product has change they must be under a new management. So some reviewers pictures might be misleading. Like some mentioned they used to have smoother shaved ice. Now its shaved a lot more less fine so if you let it sit there for a few mins it turns into a semi block of ice. They still have lots items on the board but the portions size have been reduced. Yes they do have some ethnic items on the menu well no blankety blank blank sherlocks it was mostly oriented for that certain type demographic type of customer so don't go being racist It's pretty obvious it has lot of Latin foods inspired foods. Enough said about that. They are your quick snack food cheating diet killer place. They do take cards but theres a 5 minimum Oh and they use the iPhone to take your debit card In oppinion Im pretty leery of that form of payment better to use some cash And I didn't even get a receipt? read more

I DO NOT recommend. Way too pricey for what they give . Ordered 2 raspas and they tasted too artificial and sweet. The ice did no have a great texture. And the elotes are flavorless . read more

Shaved Ice Cabana - Strawberries w/ cream $6 - Shaved Ice Near Me - Houston, Texas

Expensive, Flavorless snow-cones :( The mangonada did not have enough flavor and the inside of the cone was white ice. The cream on the banana and cream snow cone overpowered the flavor of the banana. read more

Well, that was disappointing. I should have just thrown the $15 for 2 medium and 1 small sno-cones out the window. The flavors were completely overpowered by the taste of old grease. Yes, the ice tasted like old used grease. It only took about 20 minutes of sitting in line (3 deep) to only not be "greeted" by the woman that obviously didn't want to be there. Oh well. I can mark this one off my list. Now I'm off the brush my teeth to get that taste out of my mouth. read more

This place is cute. They have a patio in which you can enjoy your sugar ice. It boasts tons of flavors and add ons. I ordered wedding cake and silver fox. It was delicious! We will definitely come back again (and again and again). Also, lots of carnival sort of food options. They have tons of flavors and some special flavors (red hot and pumpkin pie). Go to their website for full listing of flavors. read more

I've came here for over a year, maybe almost 2 (or maybe 3.......)? I loveD the concept of this place, shaved ice with a variety of flavors and fair food desserts. Notice the "loveD"? I came back here last week and the menu was revamped. The neon "open" sign wasn't on, but my boyfriend and I tried to see if it was open anyway. All the doors to the "house" was open and what do you know? There was a woman a the window waiting to take our order. So story: The "house" (I like to call it) was built by the man originally naming this place "Fun foods factory." He made it all and he said it was to be featured on "Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives" when it FIRST opened. He built it! It was awesome to talk to him and he tried some things to get more people out. Such as having a movie night (animated movies) to get families out and he was going to put bean bags and such for people to watch (this was in the summer). Fast forward: This woman who took our order was older. If you ever visited, it was usually the man who owned the "house" or younger kids (circling the age of 16-18) to take our order. The whole menu had changed, they served different foods (more latino based -- if I'm mistaken, I'm sorry) and the name...CHANGED. She told us that she partnered up and they changed the menu. This is VERY exciting! Of course I still LOVE it! I was a fan of the chamoyada (with extra chili) when it was just Fun Foods Factory, and now, BAM! It's one of their specialties. I also ordered the mangonada and it was so delicious! With mango pieces! I love this place, but in this cold weather, I might need to stay in! read more

We waited a really long time in the drive thru just to get NO funnel cake. DO NOT GO HERE.

This hit the spot! I have been craving a Piccadilly and chamoy and this place nailed it. Fast service and large portions. Highly highly recommend!! read more

really terrible. The shaved ice is way icier than it should be, it's more of a bad sno-cone than shaved ice. The syrups taste mostly similar and were unevenly applied. The churros is okay, the funnel cake is the worst I have ever had. It was covered in uncooked flour, tasted slightly raw, and had no whip cream or other accompaniments. Never again. read more

They have poor customer service and hire teenagers who can't even tell you the price of an item.

Not only did they raise the price on the snow cones, but they also pour little to nothing of flavor. The snow cone was white ice towards the bottom and middle. Flavor was only at the top part lol wow. Make sure to check for flavor towards middle before you leave. read more

I believe the management because the whole entire menu changed and everything on the menu has a whole "Mexican" vibe. I asked what she suggested and she said the mangonado is very popular. So I chose it. The mangonado is a no go for me! The mango is good but the spicy part is just weird for me. Ehhhh read more

Got overcharged by the old guy in the drive thru, basically scammed me by by saying prices went up when I'm a regular to this place and already knew the price.. Food was cold..Use to like this place but lost my business.. read more

POOR CUSTOMER SERVICE from the actual business owner LESLIE HERREA. She hires teenagers who can't understand English or tell you what the price of anything is. My order was incorrect and I was over charged.. instead of the owner apologizing and fixing the mistake she gets very disrespectful and aggressive. Please take your money somewhere else. They do not deserve it. read more

I was craving some shaved ice, and one of my friends told me about this place. OMG, it is amazing! There are over 300 flavors of shaved ice to choose from, and as the name states, they have all sorts of fun foods too. Now, I'm sad to say that I'm addicted to fried Oreos. I didn't think you could get much worse than an Oreo healthwise, but you can.. and it is DIVINE! Pros: Delicious, Wide Variety of flavors and fun foods, they take credit/debit cards! Cons: My sure to expand waistline after finding this place! read more

Ugh. Disappointment! Went to go get a snow cone, and after confirming they had my favorites flavor of choice (tigers blood), we walk to the window. First thing we notice- these prices are crazy high for a snow cone. We order and several minutes later, presented with said cone. It wasn't the good ice. It was more the hard shaved ice, not the soft snow ice. Taste- tasted like cherry. So we knock on the window, and he remakes it, comes back confirming that yes it did taste like cherry, perhaps marked wrong. Second one tasted exactly the same. Ugh. They gave us a refund. Sad day. Also- they need some shade!! read more

So I wouldn't consider myself a shaved ice aficionado, but my inner child knows what he likes. Obviously it's shaved ice slathered in different flavors. I was having a stressful week at work, and I pass by this place all the time. Well the heavens aligned, and something (my lack of self control) forced me to pull in. I can tell you, I have been to this place... cough... 3 times... cough... this week. They have standard flavors, what appear to be some creamy flavors, special mixes, south of the border flavors, and a multitude of other options. I doubt you will have trouble finding a flavor or option you will like. So far my personal favorite is the Diablito (Tamarind, Lime, and Chile). It's not pretty to look at, but it tastes good. It also appears that they have fun foods, shakes, and a multitude of other things available if that's your bag. I saw a bunch of people ordering different things, so it's obviously a draw. Be honest with yourself if you are in the area... Who doesn't like some shaved ice? Take your kids, your family, a date (maybe, I am not the one to ask for relationship advice), a group of friends, or shoot just hit up the drive thru after having a rough day at work. It'll make you feel great. read more

They don't know the difference between shaved ice and snow cone. Flavors are not good either, and not the shaved ice flavors. These are more like chunky New Orleans style with Mexican flavors mixed in. If you like real shaved ice, don't go here! read more

Very RUDE STAFF. We kept calling to ask if they were still open because we weren't sure due to the fact that google and yelp have different business hours for this establishment. So when I would call they would answer and hang up. We still went to go see what's up and pull up to the window. The employee doesn't even greet us. She just stared at us with a stank face waiting for us to place an order. She looked like a high school girl with attitude problems. read more

I used to come to this spot years ago when I lived on the northwest side of Houston. It's great to see they are still open and doing well. After dinner decided to stop by this stand for a snow cone. They have a variety of flavors to choose from as well as roasted corn and some other snack foods. I ordered the mangonada it was pretty good. They add a good amount of chili so if you prefer the mango part ask for little or no chili. I enjoyed it . My friend got strawberry and it was good. I will be back if I'm ever on the NW side again. Great spot for a cool treat on a hot summer day. read more

Okay so let me start by saying, How disgusting and gross my order was I ordered a classic Raspada Fresa as soon as I got it in my hands I smelled the top , Strong Strong Strong !!!! Smell of grease and oil . It smelled so bad that I thought maybe it could've just been that it was next to the grease fryer. But no as soon as I went for a bite Ewwwwww it was so horrible I felt like someone had dumped and whole gallon of oil in my Raspada it had no flavor at all , but a Very very slight dead flair of strawberry and a Big flavor of Oil . Okay and that wasn't it I also got a Mango Ice cream and that even smelled like Oil to . I mean it was decent but it was such a weird and bad smell the Raspada I just threw it out the window I couldn't Stand it , Sorry but if y'all had a 1/2 star I would give it even 0 . Bad place Nasty not worth your Time guys and your money read more

My first experience was good enough for me to come pack and try it again. This time there was two boy, one of them with a bad attitude and when I told him my order didn't taste like the flavor I asked for he gave me another cup with Nothing but ice and no flavor. SMH I just wanted a shaved ice how any Hispanic person lives there shaved ice flavor I'm so sad. This was the highlight of my day and I was ruined by a boy with a bad attitude. Came to the store to add flavor to me cup of ice. read more

Drive thru shaved ice and carnival fried goodies? Don't mind if I do! The menu is crazy with a million different flavors so we went a little crazy too. Tres Leches - not interested, it was just weird Tamarind - delightfullly yum!!! Def ordering it again Ninja Turtle for the kids - kids enjoyed it and so did I Rainbow for the kids - too much going on Funnel cake - pretty good Don't mind stopping by when I'm in the area especially because it's so freakin hot!!! read more

This place is horrible. It tasted nothing like tigers blood or sour apple. They used so little flavor that the ice was still mostly white. 15 dollars for two medium one tigers blood/sour apple shaved ice, and one coconut raspado, and one frito pie?! No prices listed anywhere so we don't even know what cost what. But, obviously everything is over priced here. The ice was so hard we needed an ice pick not a spoon. We threw everything away after one taste. We won't be going back here. read more

Your first thought on seeing this place when you first lay eyes on it is that it is a dive, and should be ignored. Push aside this inhibition and order a shaved ice. Great even in cold weather. Godsends in the unholy heat of summer. Other than making a pilgrimage to New Orleans this is the place for top grade shaved ice. Oh, one caveat. When they have 'sour' before a flavor, this does not mean a minor zing. You will pucker. Your eyes will water. And you won't be able to stop eating. read more

I was kind of questioning if this place would be any good but it was seriously delish. I'm not a huge fan of shaved ice but this was insanely good !The mangonada's flavor was spot on. And the churro was perfectly cooked ! Will definitely be going back ! read more

We always saw this so today decided to stop by. We got the churros locos and coctel de fruta. Total $12.93. Absolutely loved the churros locos and will definitely try it again. Coctel de fruta was also good, but not something to die for. Will be back to try other things also. Great service as well! read more

If you are looking for fun carnival did without the carnival, great service and a chill atmosphere, this is the place for you!

It's closed, I went there and the map took me to the wrong place to start with. Then when we figured out where it was, closed. Not sure if the was today or permanent. I would call first...my kids were disappointed. read more

The product we received looked nothing like the pictures online. I had no cone nor dome nor anything on my shaved ice it was just kinda flat. The flavors weren't that great and the ice wasn't what I expect shaved ice to be. The corn had some kind of chili sauce on it that was not that great. Our churros were extra crunchy. I was also disappointed that they didn't have licuados. I'm used to always ordering licuados at other snowcone places. The pictures online showed funnel cakes, but they apparently don't sell them. For someone that hasn't really experienced other snowcone places, they may like this place. It's just hard for me to like it considering I've had better. read more

My friends and I came here almost 2-3 times a week during summer and felt like little kids again. We would always double fist too. Diablito and Chamoyata are my two favorites because ever since I was a little girl, I always loved Mexican candy with chamoy, tamarind and chili powder. Now on a snowcone? *faints* All the other flavors my friends and I have tried were VERY delicious. Even the eggnog flavor! read more

Carnival food + lots of snowcone ideas! Mexican themed. This is awesome because they are hard to find. They have chamoy (not sure how to spell it). Try the "natural snowcones". So yumm. read more

This place used to be the BEST and now some Hispanics bought it and now there is only Hispanic food. They should've kept the old stuff they would profit way more. Miss the funnel cake and carnival foods. Don't get me wrong it isn't THAT bad but it totally downgraded from what it used to be. Bought some corn the other day WAAAY to much mayo I think I have a clogged artery now. read more

no no no no. I've come here 6 times and every single time my order is messed up. Either they don't put the condensed milk/cream on when I order they forget 1 out of the 3 snowcones I order and when we have to pull off to the side and wait for our order it still takes about 20 minutes for two(supposed to be three!) snowcow they hand us the snow cones and tell us the wrong flavors! I really feel like it isn't hard to write on the snowcone what the order is with a sharpie or something. did I mention they always, always always forget to add the condensed milk AND cream? I'm so bummed that I love all their food but the service isn't good. I know they are in a little weird shop in a parking lot but you have got to get these employees up to shape and stop messing up orders! ALSO they close at random times. So don't belive what you see as their hours! read more
