Tampico Refresqueria

Such a good spot for a hot Houston day. Grab something then get back in the A/C!

I've been coming here for a very long time. Probably since I was like eight or nine years old. Whenever I'm in the area I remember to stop by and give them a try. This place is been here for a very long time serving up the local neighborhood. Every time you pass by there's a long line but it moves fast. They do a really good job here. We have been coming here for many years and we continue to support them.Food: I've got a number of their treats here. I can't even count or tell you how many I've gotten but as of late we've tried some of their snowcones. Nachos, hot dogs, etc. I really cannot go wrong with any of their snowcones. Flavors and I really enjoy them. They have a very extensive menu from corn, to snow cold to nachos the sodas the popcorn, candy, you name it they have it. Service is fast and friendly and they do practice social distancing which is good. Parking is a little tight. But the line moves fast to the parking close. If you haven't been here I suggested giving it a try. I really like this please I am barely reviewing it.

Ran across this spot on the way to buy dessert from a bakery and had to stop. I am a sucker for snow cones and wanted to give this a try. The ice isn't the smoothest ever, but it's good. The syrup could also be stronger. However - I think these snow cones are perfect for the price. I haven't found a snow cone this size, with this level of flavor, for under $2. My 4 star review is largely based on the price, because I do believe you get more than what you pay for here.

Amazing spot to cool off or if your craving any late night snacks! The raspa is my go to! The staff is super friendly, some speak limited English but they do their damn best to help you out! Try the elote in a cup! It's gooood!

Been coming here for years, the best elote ever! Highly recommend getting it with extra cheese. Also, the mango smoothie is super yum!

If you don't know come here. CASH ONLY. The food gets your craving out the way! Service is quick and easy but depends when you go they may be a lot of people. Things are freshly made. Not many seating outside but worth the drive

My wife and I ordered 2 raspa ( wild cherry and sugar free strawberry), and 2 Frito pies with chili cheese. I can tell you everything was really good. I ordered my SF strawberry with crema (.50 add on) but totally worth it. The Frito pies were amazing with the chili cheese. What stood out was the beans in the chili . It sounds like a bit much but it was really good. Yes, they used name brand Fritos . So good.....What I think stood out was the stations set up for all the orders (shaved ice station, toppings, etc). They had plenty of people to handle the line! It was pretty warm outside but they did have some covered shade. Unpacked parking lot and no drive thru! FYI.This is pretty much my new spot. Check them out!

Was hoping to get a mangonada as this establishment came up on Yelp when searching, but they didn't have any. I ended up ordering a mango raspa with chamoy. Unfortunately, it didn't taste all that great and left me seeking my original request - a mangonada.

They accept ALL FORMS OF PAYMENTS, always have . They have amazing staff and are not stingy with the ingredients. I always get the ELOTE and the NACHOS with chilli and cheese. 10/10 highly recommend.

all the lady's that work there are so mean expect for the African American lady that speaks spanish the reason why they are so bad for their service is because they didn't serve a lady with 2 kids that came from far but the calendar says they close at 11 but they actually close at 10:30 and when the lady got there the sign that says closed wasn't flipped it still said open but they did not want to serve her and the poor lady was crying. I would not recommend coming to this place
