    Brownie amaretto  with sprinkles (one scoop)  Tres leche (one scoop ) and key lime (one scoop but under the tree leche)

    We came here for some ice cream. The ice creams were chunky and creamy. They were super nice and chill like before. Tables and chairs are clean. Parking hasn't changed from before. Free and in front but slow down on the ramp into and out of the lot.

    I came here specifically for the elote that I heard amazing things about. It did not disappoint! This was literally the best elote I have ever had! The place was really cute inside as well and there was an option for yellow corn or white corn which was cool. I can't wait to come back to try the icecream!

    All the cute little details. Love the comments box

    Finally tried out this spot that's literally a hidden gem. They were not busy at all when I came in; no one inside sitting down or ordering which was nice (didn't feel sketchy at all tbh). The cashier was still very enthusiastic when I was ordering and although I am fluent in Spanish, sometimes I just want to order in English so I was very happy to find that the cashier was very fluent in English as well. I decided to come in because I reeeally wanted a fresh fruit cup and I really wasn't sure if they served it here but I thought, eh worth a try. So glad I tried it out because they definitely did have fruit. Prices were a little steep but you definitely get a bang for your buck.

    Tarascos is always a hit. They do not skimp out and always have the most amazing flavors. The paletas are all refreshing on a hot day and the snacks look fire! Will definitely be back as usual.

    Cookie Monster and Mangonada

    Very friendly service. They were very helpful with our questions. It's very clean and the decor is nice. We got the Cookie Monster icecream and the mangonada which were both great. My kids just got mexican vanilla icecream on a cone and strawberry icecream on a cone which they enjoyed too. I did not know it was a thing but I also tried the hot Cheetos with warm queso cheese which was actually pretty good too.

    I love Tarascos, it's a hidden gem! My favorite things to get are the churros a la mode and an ice cream cone (try the mocha crunch flavor- it's my favorite thing ever now.) Super relaxed vibe, staff are always nice and chill. Also- the cone in this pic is a medium but it took the combined efforts of me and a friend to finish. Can you imagine how there's an even bigger one offered??? All of this for $9! Love u Tarascossss

    Always a good time at Tarascos. Located in a seedy street center, Tarascos is anything but questionable. Love the huge variety of cream popsicles or icesicles. There are traditional flavors, unique flavors and comfort flavors of a south of the border spin. Tarascos can always be counted on a tasty treat on any day. The staff is quick and efficient and pricing is right where it should be. However their chocolate banana, while one of my favorites, has had its price more than double of the past few years. The place is pretty clean, particularly since they have sugary and sticky treats, its very well maintained. We will always make a stop at Tarascos, maybe you should too.

    Cute little shop with homemade ice cream and paletas. All the flavors tasted so good! I had the passionfruit and condensed milk paleta, and my sister had the coconut. Full of flavor and can't wait to go back and try more flavors! Workers were nice enough to take the time and explain different flavors Seating areas are available Will definitely be back!!!

    Lychee, mango, kiwi strawberry paletas

    My favorite ice cream shop in all of Houston! The workers are kind, efficient, and provide great customer service.

    I came in on a Friday afternoon. Overall, the atmosphere was cute, and I love the ambiance of the room. There was only one worker that I met, and it was a slow afternoon. She recommended the tres leches flavor ice cream to go with my "Churros a la mode" order, and that flavor was delicious. The only downside was the restrooms. They are located in the back, and the hallways to get back to them were dark, and cramped. But it didn't put me down in the slightest. Overall, if I can, I would love to come back here again..

    It's too risky to be tarascy.

    Now because of COVID all I see are lots of MASK HOS Used to hit on all of them now I can barely ASK HOS For their numbers, COVID makes me not up to the TASK HOS So instead I grab a Guava Lolly at TARASCOS Went to San Sebastian and met a lot of BASQUE HOS Walked around with alcohol like all these other FLASK HOS I can't yelp while drinking I'm not like those MULTITASK HOS But for Paletas I head directly to TARASCOS! WHAT! This is a really amazing local ice cream shop that has all kinds of incredible Latin and international flavours. My fave is the sensational Guava Paleta, made with big chunks of fruit like most of the real and authentic homemade Paletas here, but their ice cream is popular, is tropical, and is well worth a try too. They do a really amazing job of making their products exciting and delicious and fun, and they have been thrilling the Westchase Community for quite a long time. Definitely one of the better ice cream shops in the Greater Houston area, and also extremely original and impressive. Down in Houston, the Rockets are "The Team" But desserts here aren't always as good as they seem Yet I know a Latin treats place that tastes like a dream Come and get some at Tarasco's Ice Cream! Five stars is the score that I will duly deem Suitable for your Queen and Prince Naseem Tastes so yummy they should come up with a Meme About the perfect flavours of Tarasco's Ice Cream! WHAT!

    Rum and raisins

    This place is so yummy! Their tres leches ice cream is one of the best I've ever had. It's a small place but it makes up for it in flavor. I'm definitely a fan!

    Took my grandkids here and they absolutely loved it! They could not finish it all in their tiny 1 scoop bowl I got a split scoop absolutely wonderful! And Homemade Palettes

    Tres Leches ice cream--soooooo freaking good!!

That alone made the experience feel thoughtful and welcoming. They are also open late, which I loved. I had already dined in the area, so this ended up being the perfect post dinner treat. I have been here before, but it had been a long time, and it was great to return and enjoy it again. The ambience was warm and inviting, and the overall environment made it easy to relax and enjoy the moment. I ordered a kid's cup, and it was honestly the perfect amount. Anything larger would have been too much for me, so the price point felt very fair for the portion and quality. I also tried the macaron and the tea. Both were fine but nothing standout for me. I have had better macarons and better tea elsewhere, and as someone who really appreciates good tea, it was decent but not something I would go back for specifically. That said, the gelato alone is absolutely worth returning for and even making a drive for. The space itself is very small and cozy, more of a boutique style spot. It is ideal for individuals, couples, or very small groups. Larger groups may prefer to enjoy their treats outdoors around the plaza and then move along, as this is more of a grab and go or short stay kind of place. Overall, I would definitely be back. The gelato is truly the star here and well worth it.

Consequently, Yelpers should not be surprised the…read moreparking is mostly in paid lots, just like in every major city in the US--Cocos does not deserve to lose a star for this as in some reviews that brought down their average. You may order online, in shop through a tablet, or with a person at the register. We used the register because we did not see the tablet and did not want to order ahead online. The ladies who helped us on our visit were very nice. You get a number and they call it when your made to order food is ready. We did not have to wait long. There was medium to low noisy ambiance. It was deserted when we arrived, but they have relatively loud background music. While we were eating it got pretty crowded. Mostly a lot of young people in the middle of the day on a Monday. The inside is small, seating both inside and outside are limited and close together. One lady was studying with her laptop, but there are no plugs. The breakfast sandwich is customizable. We got it on a croissant and with sausage. The eggs had a unique texture and the sandwich a unique flavor that we could not place, but both were very tasty. We also wanted a crepe, but we split the sandwich and it was sufficient. We also got a small mocha and a decaf, both were ok to good. We would definitely come back again and recommend that you give them a try for a crepe or sandwich. It is sad that a few Yelpers brought down their average to 3.8 stars due to petty and unjustified complaints such as having to pay for parking downtown. Other complaints are not the business' fault such as periodic homelessness--it is a downtown area in the US, other cities have far worse homelessness than Midtown Houston and we saw none on this visit. Additionally, complaints about takeout orders are mostly petty. Takeout is never as good as eating at the restaurant and so customers should adjust their expectations rather than dock the business stars. Nearly every recent Yelp review for this who ate at the restaurant gave 4-5 stars for food quality and customer service. Like most of the restaurants in this area it is a pretentious yuppy style place with specialized food. Although not usually our type of place (we like down to earth hole in the wall places with good food or taco truck type restaurants), Coco's is a solid 4 star restaurant for the type of place they are and they offered a 5 star experience on our visit. Again, recommend you give them a try if you are in the mood for crepes or sandwiches.

This was my first time coming here so my girlfriend and I ordered a fee items to get the full experience. We both ordered a beverage, i ordered a Vanilla Chai and she had the Caramel Cococcino. Both were very good. As for food, we ordered a Chicken Breakfast Sandwich(pictured), Cinnamon Roll Crepe (Pictured), Dulce De Leche Crepe with Almonds and Strawberries (pictured), and a strawberry cheesecake crepe (not pictured but looked like a normal crepe with powdered sugar). My favorites were the strawberry cheesecake and the cinnamon roll. My girlfriend's favorite was the Dulce De Leche and the strawberry cheesecake. Neither one of us cared for the breakfast sandwich too much, not sure if it was the wheat bread or the flavorless chicken. A couple of days ago we came back to try a couple of white mocha's and the breakfast sandwich again but with the Moroccan Sausage. We have determined-the breakfast sandwich will not be ordered anymore. But again the drinks were good. Overall, we will be back. The staff is nice, the drinks are good and so are the Crepes.
