Blanca's Snow Cones is a snow cone van that you can usually find during the summer months in the…read moreNoVA area. We found them in the Home Depot parking lot late in the summer, in front of the laundromat, and we decided to give them a try.
The flavors that they offer are: strawberry, peach, pineapple, cherry, grape, orange, lime, mint, blueberry, banana, Tiger's Blood, cotton candy, fuzzy navel, blue Hawaii, coconut, passion fruit, bubble gum, green apple, vanilla, mango, guava, and cashew apples. You can also get 'toppings,' which are tamarind or condensed milk drizzles.
We tried a combination of blueberry, lime, and Tiger's Blood, with a condensed milk drizzle. They definitely give you a large portion, stuffed to the max and stacked in a styrofoam cup! The taste was fine, but I'd probably stick with 1 or 2 flavors the next time. They do put a lot of syrup in it, but I wasn't really a fan of the condensed milk, which seems to be a popular topping of choice.
There was a huge line, and the van seems to be a popular and favorite choice for the locals.
There are no seats, but most people just stand around to enjoy it or take it to go.
