    Best shaved ice! I was craving something sweet, and this hit the spot. The drive thru is convenient, and the staff was friendly and had lots of suggestions. I got the mango shaved ice and the infamous strawberries con creme with signature pink sauce. It was fresh and sweet and reminded me of yogurt. The mango shaved ice was fresh. I just wish I had more cream.

    Best shaved ice I've had, I highly recommend the chili and cheese nacho, it's really really good, you can always ask the chili on the side to avoid saggy. Customer service here is outstanding, very welcoming and friendly. Definitely will be back.

    So disappointed to see that after driving 30 minutes from my home due to a late pregnancy craving that this place was closed abruptly. Anytime I go I check their instagram to make sure they are open! I did and of course nothing was posted. I messaged the instagram and was not even given an apology which shows their lack of care for their customers. I love supporting small businesses and was proud to support Latino owned businesses but this was incredibly rude. After I messaged them, they posted a vague "emergency left early" post on instagram. Luckily Tony's roasted corn 10 minutes away was open (way cheaper) and delicious.

    first time visit! delicious elote and shaved ice flavors. drive thru only and they offer punch cards to earn free rewards like small elote or medium mangonada. friendly staff and great service made the first visit even better

    Drove here on a weekday and was surprised to see a long line. It moved pretty quickly though. I ordered an elote en vaso, blue raspberry & green apple snowcone, and an all natural mango snowcone. The elote was good and made well balanced. Wasn't a fan of the snowcone, it wasn't very flavorful. I really liked the blue raspberry one though. Wasn't overbearingly sweet as some snow ones can be. Next time I'll try something else. They have a variety of yummy Mexican treats. Service was awesome though, the lady that took our order was very nice and attentive. My only gripe is they are on the price side for raspas.

    I have came here since high school and 10 years liters is still as good! The owners are super friendly and fast! In n out as soon as you order, the only thing long is the wait bc it's only drive thru but it's bc it's so good it's packed!! I ordered elote and 2 shaved ice cups! Recommend tigers blood and watermelon my kids loved it!

    Service is good, they're fast. I got the fully loaded king mango slices. Based on the picture in the menu it should have come with tamarind bites however my order did not come with it. I also think it's a little overpriced.

    I've been coming here for soooo long! The family who owns this little shop is amazing, they're nice, fast and their snacks are delicious!! It's a little taste of Mexico in our backyard. When I come visit my parents this is a MUST stop. Highly recommend this place, they have the best raspas (shaved ice) so smooth and slushy feeling with GREAT natural and artificial flavors. Their corn and nachos are so delicious. I first came for the snacks & drinks but the family is what kept me coming back.

    Looking for a great place for snow cones, come check out Texas Shaved I e Express they have Great service, love the punch card ideas, I will definitely come back.

    If you're looking for a good raspa you need to try this spot out. Staff is super friendly

    Fresh creamy corn!
    Luis S.

    This place is amazing. They started out in a smaller mobile shaved ice location that's in the parking lot. They recently moved to a permanent spot that has a drive thru. It's a little hidden if you're not looking out for it but this place is definitely worth it. There's two main window people and they are both super nice and generous, always deliver great service. Now to the good stuff.. they have very great tasting shave ice. My favorite is the fresh strawberry with condensed milk, flavor is fn awesome. The corn in a cup is the star here. Their corn is juicy but not soggy and has a fresh taste to it. Other places are either soggy or the corn is dry and stale. This place is so good, I recommend getting the corn with the hot Cheetos on top!

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.
