Freshito

First time coming here since we were getting food next door and it was super good considering I've never really had this kind of dessert before. We got elote and fresas con crema and both were really good. The elote came in a medium sized container definitely with the price and the cup of fresas con crema was full of strawberries. Will be coming back next time I'm in the area

3/1/2023 - lunch date with my seaSTAR.On our way to grab a fat burrito at El Farolito, we passed by Freshito and what caught our eyes were the sign that said "Elote."I've had my fair share of Elote from street vendors and SJ's flea market, but never have I ever had Elote elevated with a bed of Mexican-brand Tostitos. Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaat? Where have I been all these years? I must have been living under a rock to never have tried "Tosti Elote."Crispy-crunchity (I know it's not a word, but it's my word that I like to use) Tostitos adds not only texture but saltiness that married harmoniously with the creamy and cheesy Elote. Dabs of "Veronica" sauce, chili powder and tajin added a slight kick (needed more chili powder). The only ingredient they didn't add was freshly squeezed lime juice. Thank goodness we had some from our burrito run. Although it's delicious, without the freshly squeezed lime juice, it's too heavy to eat. Portions are huge. I'm so spoiled with having my Elote made with freshly cut sweet corn so it came as a slight disappointment because Freshito seems to use frozen corn. It didn't have enough sweetness nor tenderness, neither did it have the burst of corn juiciness that you'd get from fresh corn. It would have been an easy 5 stars if they did use fresh vs. frozen. Sweet, salty, spicy, tender, juicy, crunchy, cheesy, creamy and acidic. This is what makes a fantastic Elote! Although it missed some marks, it still hit the spot.

Sometimes you just need a mangonada. OK, maybe you don't need one, but I do. Even after a hefty lunch down Mission. Even after promising myself I'd watch my calorie intake before trundling my way home. But alas, Freshito beckoned at my weakest moment with their sidewalk sandwich board (photo: https://bit.ly/3NWjrXN). There was a highly visible picture of a mangonada, so of course, I peeked inside and was impressed to discover 26 similar treats on their menu. But number one with a bullet was......the $6.75 Medium Mangonada. The staff was chatting away at a booth, so I waved hesitantly at them for service. A woman constructed my mangonada with ease..,a big scoop of mango sorbet, chunks of fresh mango, chamoy, tajin chili powder, jabalina candy, and more chili powder (photo: https://bit.ly/3JkigxK). It was the right combination of sweet and spicy, and I sat myself on the sole plastic chair at the entryway. Back on my Excelsior journey. Oh dear, I forgot to input the calories into the MyFitnessPal app...or did I?MANGONADA - 4 stars...traditional mix of sweet and spicy,..could've used more sorbetAMBIANCE - 4 stars...yep, it's an ice cream parlorSERVICE - 4 stars....she didn't skimp on the serving sizeTOTAL - 4 stars...mangonada on my mindRELATED - Exploring the Excelsior? Here's a collection of places I've visited and reviewed: https://bit.ly/37B1acE

What can I say, except yum yum yum. I got their crema con fresas (a complex strawberries and cream. It uses sour cream with evaporated and condensed milk which gives it a slight tang and is utterly addictive), and mangonadas. I liked the mangonadas slightly less because they used shaved ice that was quite coarse, but the flavor was on point

If you're looking for a delicious snack or quick bite, come check this place out! I was craving esquites and my boyfriend came across this place on Yelp. Its located on Mission, next to El Farolito. We walked in and were greeted by the nice two ladies who were working. We ordered two esquites and a small fresas con crema, total came out to $17ish which is not too bad! They offer dine-in, so we sat and enjoyed our food. They really hook you up with the corn and they are not skimpy on the seasoning and toppings. I couldn't even finish mine and ended up getting so full after. For $5.50 you really get your moneys worth. As for the fresas con crema, the fruit was fresh and not too tart. I just wish they added more granola, but overall super tasty and not to sweet. Cravings were definitely satisfied! Cant wait to come back for more :)

Got a raspado and a fresas con crema. First I tried ordering raspados mango, then strawberry, but they were out of both. I settled for pineapple. This is the first time I've had this -- the ice was too chunky, but flavor was good (if a bit on the sweet side). Light, fruity and refreshing. Like a snow cone but much more natural tasting with some fruit bits. 4/5Fresas con crema: my friend ordered this, I didn't taste it. Feedback was that sauce was a little thin, and there were too many strawberries (?? I don't understand that one, who orders strawberries and cream and then complains of too much strawberry? Weirdo.)Menu was easy to follow, guy behind the counter was nice, prices reasonable. Parking in this area is impossible, btw. I'd come here again if I happen to be on foot and in the vicinity.

A stroll through the neighborhood and their catchy name and sign posted of desserts caught my eye. They offer juices, crepes, elotes, ice cream, mangonadas, and fresh cut fruit. Yum. I've been here a couple of times and the last time being yesterday. The same man greeted us and took our order. They do practice social distancing and safety procedures. We chose the Fresas con Crema (strawberries w/ cream), Mangonada, and some fresh strawberry juice. You pick and choose which fruits you want in your fruit bowl and they'll chop them up in front of you. What I love about this place is not only their service but the freshness of the fruits and ingredients they use. Flavorful and delicious.

Newly opened in the Outer mission area. Roomy inside with your usual suspects of Antojitos. Supporting local businesses during these time of pandemic. Currently cash only so maybe sure you have cash on hand and tip well too.

Been passing by this place until I saw their sign outside with the fresas con crema.Service is great. Had a real mom & pop vibe. I'm glad they've opened up within my area.Came solely for the fresas con crema and was no disappointed. Super happy I don't have to drive down to San Mateo for fresas con crema now.The lady did not skimp at all on anything.Completely ecstatic that they've opened up. This place is great. Gonna keep coming back for that fresas con crema!!

The esquite is absolutely delicious! The crepes too, so yummy! I definitely recommend :)
