    Came in early when it was too cold to eat a cold dessert-- to order a bionico. Price was reasonable for the location and size of the dessert. Had various fruit options with the usual fixings. The gentleman serving me was friendly and helpful. Lots of place to sit and I did not feel claustrophobic going in there even though it looked cramped from the outside. Will definitely return for more desserts!

    My favorite thing about Snacks is the fact that they have a mini mangoneada! It's the perfect size for one person and it always hits the spot. The bottom has a sweet icy mango slush with a good amount of chamoy. It is topped with fresh cut mangoes, more chamoy, tajin, and of course a tamarind stick. So good on a warm day in the Bay! And for $5.50, the price can't be beat! The atmosphere gives off a sense of nostalgia and there's always plenty of seating available inside. Service is quick and efficient--my mangoneada is always ready in less than five minutes.

    My second visit. This is one of the placace to get mangonada. It has dessert, food and snack. I came by for the mngonada. It is yummy and served with plenty of fresh mango chunck. Pricewise I think it a bit high but I thinknitvis worth.

    Super Cubana Torta

    Ok hear me out.... I know this place is called Snacks, but DO NOT SLEEP ON THE FOOD. I originally came here looking for paletas for my daughter who has an allergy to dairy and nuts. Normally ice cream is a no-go for her but I'm thankful they had a few flavor paletas (means little stick/ popsicle) that had no major allergens. I haven't had a flavor that I didn't like. But BOOOOOYYY let me tell you about the Super Cubana Torta. That thing is massive. There are so many different flavors going on in that thing that I had savor every bite. Not as greasy as I thought it was going to be. There was Egg, hot dog, tomato, steak, avocado, some kind of chipotle sauce, ham and another kind of deli meat, and ground beef i think?. This might be one of the best Torta's I've ever had. I'll go back anyday for the paletas for my daughter. But that Torta was top tier. My wife had the taco's and she swears they're so good.

    Mango smoothie and mangolado $20 total, very heavy and sweet

    I've had Snacks bookmarked for 7 years! They used to have the counter seats with the big bikini booties but I guess they've remodeled to keep up with the changing times. It was a very hot day and we tried the mango smoothie and mangolado -- total $19.92 Snacks is a very authentic Mexican place at the northern end of downtown San Mateo. Everyone speaks Spanish here and I had to google a lot of the menu items to understand what it was. They were very nice here though and offered to help us decipher after we stood there in front of the menu for 10 minutes -- hahaa The drinks tasted very heavy and maybe not something we're used to. I appreciated the experience though. I'm thinking maybe a coconut popsicle would have been more refreshing on a hot day.

    This place was okay. I was disturbed by the cashier preparing my food without GLOVES. I watched him as he made my mini bionico which tasted delicious...but he kept wiping his hands on his apron and made my food without gloves. Being a chef that bothers me a lot, Very nice guy . But I won't be returning. Worth a try I suppose. Not wearing gloves while touching ready to eat food (cut fruits) is a big red flag for me.

    Mini Mangoneada
    Cheri L.

    Like the name says, the place for Snacks! They have quite a few options but what I really wanted was the mangoneada. I really enjoyed the fact that they have a mini one which is the perfect size if you're too full but still want a little sweet treat. Note though that they use like any icy mango shaved ice instead of an ice cream (I didn't mind). Service was friendly and they have a few indoor seats available if needed.

    Mangoneada

    The mangoneada from Snacks has got to be one of the most bizarre-tasting things I've ever tried. My first impression was "wow this is salty" followed by "wait, it's actually quite sour" followed by "it's kind of spicy too"! That's because this Mexican dessert is a bizarre mix of diced mangoes with scoops of icey mango sorbet (sounds tame so far..), but the fruit is then seasoned with chamoy, a strong-tasting condiment made of dried fruit and ground chile! When I got this dessert, the mango was quite crunchy and flavorless (probably not in season), but the exact thing the dish could've used was a hit of sweet flavor to balance out the other strong components! The cup of fruit was topped off with a tamarind straw, basically a straw coated with a sweet, chewy, candy-like paste made of tamarind! All this being said, Snacks was a really cool, quirky cafe with a bunch of different unique Mexican antojitos, including desserts, savory snacks, and tortas. The mangoneada wasn't cheap for what it was, but I'll definitely be back to try out more of their offerings!

    I have never really had Mexican dessert like this before. Our Valentine's Day plans got canceled by the venue last minute (UGH!) so after dinner, we did a quick search for a dessert place and this one popped up. We ordered the waffle with chocolate chip ice cream and the Pina Loco. Holy crap fruit overload. Everything tasted so fresh -- for the waffle, the ice cream with condensed milk was an excellent touch and the waffle was perfect. It was topped with various fruits which made the entire waffle just.. so wonderful. For the pina, the pineapple juice was refreshing, with the classic Mexican touch of chili pepper on the straw as well as the fruits on it. I had never been exposed to this kind of Mexican style dessert before and I am LOVING IT!

    I always enjoy mangoneadas and the one from Snacks was tasty. This spot was busy on a Thursday evening, so I had to wait awhile for my order to be ready, but it was worth the wait! Plenty of fresh mango and mango ice with all the fixings. The paletas looked delicious as did their other frozen and sweet treats. I look forward to trying other items.

    Great snack. Friendly staff. You can get some good food and delicious desserts in the same place. Summer is coming, get your tostilocos, mangonadas and fresh paletas!

    See all

    OMG this ice cream spot was AMAZING! Such a cute location, especially being so close to the…read moreamusement park--perfect stop for a treat. I loved that we were able to try a bunch of different flavors, and it was awesome that everything was clearly labeled gluten-free and dairy-free friendly. We ended up getting a full sundae with four different flavors, whipped cream, and a cherry on top--so fun! The flavors were all so good, but the watermelon sorbet was definitely my favorite. We also tried rainbow sorbet, cotton candy, and strawberry cheesecake--everything was delicious. Plus, they had the cutest mural inside which made the whole experience even better. Perfect dessert for the beach--seriously SO good. I'd go back in a heartbeat!

    Came back to Livin Sweet in Belmont and I'm happy to say it's still just as good as I remembered,…read moreif not better. This time I went with the double scoop, getting the rice pudding ice cream and Mexican candy flavor. The rice pudding scoop was rich, creamy, and comforting, with that nostalgic cinnamon flavor that really hits. The Mexican candy ice cream was the perfect contrast--sweet, slightly spicy, and packed with bold flavor without being overpowering. Together, the combo worked surprisingly well. Portion sizes were generous, the ice cream was smooth and well balanced, and the staff was friendly and welcoming. You can tell a lot of care goes into both the flavors and the overall experience. Glad I came back. This spot continues to deliver. Definitely will be revisiting again to try more flavors.
