Best experience ever ! I’m so glad they finally open I was waiting for a long time and now is finally here and I have to say it was everything I expected !! Ice creams and popsicles are really good and have a lot of flavors to choose from! I got the tostiesquites and mangonada and it was bomb, next time I’m trying the fresas con crema looked delicious! The store it’s really pretty full of colors and a kid zone for the childrens to play! Mi favorite thing was the girl in the paperwall so original and cute I 100% recommend this place!

Super cute place, employees were very helpful and offered samples on their ice cream and Aguas Frescas. Lots of different ice cream and popsicle flavors, I tried the "Aguacate" flavor and it was pretty good! They had about 6 flavors of the Aguas Frescas, I tried the Limon and Passion Fruit Agua, both were very good with true flavor, not overly sweet. The Limon had chia seeds at the bottom which I didn't care for but it tasted perfect. They offer nachos, papas, mangonadas, corn in a cup or full corn and you can add flaming hot cheetos to it! The corn in a cup was a decent size for the price. They have a small kids zone for the kiddos to play in while you enjoy your treats. Plenty of seating and colorful wall art to snap pics of. You also get about a 5% discount if you pay with Cash! Highly recommend you visit!

While visiting El Paso, Texas, I found the perfect spot to satisfy a serious snack craving, and let me just say… omggg, this place had everything. From the moment I walked in, I knew I was in the right place. They offer a wide variety of classic Mexican snacks like elote, refreshing aguas frescas, chicharrón (durito, as some places call it), fresas con crema, and so much more. Honestly, it felt like a one-stop snack heaven. And of course, for those moments when you want to pretend you’re being healthy, there are lighter options too so no guilt, lol. The place itself is huge, colorful, and full of life, which makes the experience even better. One thing I really loved is that they even have a small children’s playground area. It’s not big, but it’s perfect if you’re visiting with kids and want them to have a little fun while you enjoy your snacks. What truly made the visit special was the staff. The ladies who run the place (las que atienden el negocio) are incredibly friendly and welcoming, making you feel comfortable right away. Add to that some good music playing in the background and tables available if you want to sit and eat there, and you’ve got the perfect vibe. If you’re ever in El Paso and craving snacks, this place is a must-visit.

Banana split time!!!! I got mamey, chocolate, and vanilla ice cream for my choices. The usual whipped cream and cherry and added chocolate drizzle. It was the most delicious combo I have tried there, yet! Hard to decide, yet super friendly and patient customer service! Till next time, my friends.

Definitely a place I would come back to many times over and I got to try their unreleased menu item called “La Mixta” where you’re served nachos, corn, chicharrón and papas locas in a big plate if you’re undecided on what to eat. It was so good and it’s more of a share plate but I finished the whole thing because it had everything I love. The workers there said they would release it on the menu down the line but everything else is so good.
