Refresqueria Tampico

If you are the type of person that appreciates concession stand snackies, a Mexican refresqueria is just that. Snowcones, nachos, Frito pie, Flamin' Hot Cheeto pie, dorito pie, churros, licuados (milk shakes), elote in a cup.... There are a few Tampico Refresquerias in town, but I like that this one is along the Eastwood Park hike and bike trail. It's cash only. And no outdoor or indoor seating. Just grab your snacks and move it along...

Quick and good service. I love the elote and my friend got a hot dog with everything! We shared a cotton candy raspa! They have lots of traffic here and a small parking lot.

Cheap and Delicious. I get a watermelon snow cone md size, which is similar to a large drink McDonalds would have. Amazing fun little place, takes long to order when there's a line. They have over 30 flavors. Please give it a shot

Love this refresqueria. I always get a medium watermelon raspa with chamoy, and if I'm hungry, a cheeto pie. Very good and very cheap! Only downside is that none of the waiters speak english so I hope you listened in high school!Also, CASH ONLY!!

This place was bomb! It's like a snack bar store front with tons of lil tasty goodies!

It's cash only so you know it's good.Corn is great, just enough cheese and mayo, they have the chili sauce and lemon juice out for you to add it to taste. They have hot cheeto pie, and while it may look disgusting and it probably does eat the lining in your stomach, it is delicious. Their raspas are pretty trash in my opinion. The flavors taste either watered down or too concentrated, at times.It can also be very ratchet at times, and I don't know if they speak english or not since I always just order in spanish. I would highly recommend this place, though. It is very authentic and cheap.

Affordable Mexican junk food. One of my favorites for Corn in a cup. Trolebús are $2 shlushies that hit the spot. All the staff are women who work hard and try to get your order out right away. Come enjoy a cheap treat!

What an amazing little gem!Located on Harrisburg Blvd and Stiles Street this spot is always popping and the lines are real, but they go fast.While visiting Houston, the heat is no joke so they recommended to come here for a super pleasant refreshment and boy were they right. It seems like this part of town you may find a lot of Hispanic business which means that they folks inside speak the language. Luckily so do so placing my order was not hard at all. They sell shave ice with a menu of about 30 flavors from fruits to even el picosito ( lime juice and chile) but what a delight and the prices are even better! A 32 oz cup filled with ice and sugar for a total of $2.50! What a deal!!!! Not to mention they fill it so much it spills sometimes :) . They staff is a bit older in age but that is what makes this place even better, it makes you feel like is your mom who is giving you a treat during the heatwave. And just in case you're hungry, they also have cheese corn, hot dogs, chicharrones, nachos churros with cajeta and a few other snacks [we] like to eat.I was a amazed by how a small place can have such a great turnaround. They may not have enough parking space nor tables to seat outside, but boy do they have a line that wraps around the small building yet their service is more that efficient is super quick. Again not sure if the staff has already the practice and the sense of urgency that makes their delivery a STAT order. Amazing.Being a tourist I was more than pleased. And I truly want to come back EVERY day but I gotta give it a try to other parts of the city of Houston. Gracias a todas las señoras que andan en friega ayudando con las ordenes y prohebiendo un gran servicio. Todo delicioso.
