Tampico Refresqueria No 3

The corn in a cup had a spicy kick that I loved. It had the right amount of mayo, heat, and cheese. The Frito pie was also good. It had chili cheese and beans in it. Lastly, the churros were freshly made and delicious with a caramel filling. You can get a lot for your buck here. I highly recommend this place.

Came here for a snack of some mangonada and elote. Friend had talked about this place a few times during our visit to Houston so we had to come here on our last day in Houston. This location specifically does not have indoor seating but has seating outside and a drive thru. We decided to park and walk up to the place so we ordered through the window. Mangonada is 16oz at $3.00. Mangonada was super frozen, topped off with the chamoy sauce. We had gotten the mangonada at about 01:45PM. Let's say it wasn't "drinkable" until like 05:00PM after being left in the car on a hot day. We tried digging into it with the plastic spoon and barely got some out to eat. The elote was $2.50 for a bowl of cut corn topped w/ mayo, hot sauce, and cheese. Typically, the elote i've tried in the past, uses cayenne pepper. This is the first place i've been to that uses hot sauce. Overall, not bad though. I liked it. and it was cheap. Could use a bit more cheese, which is an option for an additional $0.50. Weather was nice this day we came so sitting outside on the bench tables with shade was decent. Wished their mangonada was not so frozen though....

One of my friends love this place so he took us here when we were visiting. We got elote, or what they call elote. It's not a corn on the cob but in a bowl, which is even better right? Less of a mess. They have the usual toppings on the elote: mayo, cheese, etc. The only difference is that instead of using a chili powder, they use hot sauce. It made the taste a little weird because the hot sauce they used was a bit tangy. We also got a mangonada with all the toppings. Buuuuutttt the thing was frozen to the core. I think they just have these ready in the freezer to go whenever someone ordered it. It took four hours or so to fully melt and by then, I had a few sips and was done. Everything is pretty cheap. For the elote and magonada, it was less than $6 and that's including tax. There is no indoor seating, only outdoor seating. I think it's nice to get a cold treat here on a hot summer's day. If I do come back another time, I might try their drinks instead.

I came to buy 2 ice cones and 2 corns but my ice cones had flies. I regret coming here for ice cones.

My go to place for elote, hot Cheetos pie, aguas, and raspas. They have a drive through, which is a plus. If u order a lot, they shove them into makeshift boxes. Occasionally, the ladies taking my order doesn't understand questions I have, but they are really nice, so I just research the names of stuff on google.Area is kinda dirty though. I dislike sitting at their tables.Prices are really decent and the snacks are pretty much as expected.We drive out of our way to come here even though there are places closer.

If Peter Gabriel owned it, it'd be Tamp-biko. If Mr. Suave owned it, it'd be Tamp-Rico. And if I flashed all the customers, it'd be Tampeepshow. It's none of those things, and perhaps I'd like it even more if it was.Delicious snacks and treats of the icy kind, and all kinds of amazing Mexican desserts. Definitely one of the highlights of the north part of the city, and there's several locations of this place and all of them have been excellent to us.

Love the fresh shaved ice, corn in a cup, drinks, etc. All the items are tasty and great.

Super delicious. Their house chamoy sauce is scrumptious! I ordered the tamarindo raspa with their famous chamoy sauce and I had to get a second one. It was absolutely orgasmic!

I wouldn't recommend the place for service. Drinks are good. But let me tell you something that, felt it was needed to be left for review because it didn't sit right with me at all. So I had this lady take my order, she took my order and got my drinks and she forgot my frito pie that I asked for too, so she went to go make it and ask with jalapeños? I said no, no jalapeños she comes back with a hot Cheetos pie & I told her I order a frito pie & no jalapeño because I didn't want nothing spicy for my kid & she gets frustrated trying to say I said Cheeto pie & well so now she has an attitude because she has to do it again, & I totally get it they was busy.. but for her to tell me I said something else than what I said, piss me off because shes acting like it's my fault or I'm trying to make her do all this extra stuff when I just wanted my order right. And then when she gave me the total I gave her the amount and got my change but no receipt but I only ask for receipt because I was going to give it to my friend that paid. Like I don't know if she had a bad day or some but for them to say no you order this than what you actually did order, was rude. In other words if it was other people that don't take that slightly, I think they would've told her off. I did this review as soon as possible so she knows her attitude is ugly & she knows which customer it was specifically.

I went to get a smoothie and snow cone and I accidentally dropped my smoothie totally my fault but I wish they treated me like and said I see you dropped your smoothie let me replace it for free and made me feel valued but they didn't. I get it, it was my fault and it's cheap enough that I can just get another one but feeling not valued made me feel gross and unimportant and made me not want to go back again. Not going to be a repeated customer.
