Treats of Mexico

I had just eaten at Monchys tacos across the street and wanted to take my kids for some ice cream. Not a Baskin Robbins fan but a place called Treats of Mexico definitely sounds like my kind of place. This place doesn't have your average "vanilla" flavors. They have choices like chocolate abuelita, arroz con Leche, and the Concha sandwich. Its exactly what you think it is. Its a concha (Mexican pastry) with your flavor of ice cream inside the concha. I did try 3 flavors of ice cream. Chocolate abuelita, fresas con crema and galletas ( cookies and cream). Each scoop came with a wafer cookie that pairs with your ice cream. I love to support local establishments. Treats of Mexico is an awesome ,and affordable ice cream shop. Go pay them a visit and show some Htown love.

I really liked the unique and authentic snacks available. It was small and cute. I had the elote which was ok, not the best or worst. The ice cream was fun to eat as they had creative flavors like rose and hot chocolate. I would go there again to show a friend a unique part of Houston and for the ice cream .

We're from California and we lucky enough to find this gem. Picked up goodies for the road.

I don't normally write same-day reviews but I had to do this one. It was a particularly hot day today and my crew and I went to an event that required us standing in line in the heat for a couple hours. All I could think of was getting a cold, refreshing mangonada. I yelped it and found a Taste of Mexico. We almost missed it and had to drive around the building a couple times. When we found it I was so excited! We walked it and the inside was very assuming but also charming and filled with authentic Mexican clothing, sweets and trinkets.We requested three large Mangonadas. The man at the counter ran around the corner and came back in about 5mins, we paid and left. I couldn't wait to get in the car and tear into the beauty that was the Mangonada. It did not disappoint! So cold and refreshing. The sweet, salty and spicy flavors went together so well and it was the PERFECT treat for such a hot day. We'll be back.

My first time having a conchas, and also my first time having chips with corn, cheese, and hot sauce. They were both delicious, and I will definitely come back. The staff was really nice, they speak English and Spanish, they also offered to let me sample the ice cream. They make their own ice cream and salsas. Cute little store, outdoor seating only.

In love with this adorable little spot. Probably because it's basically a shop that sells my childhood. From the paleta payaso to the mazapan, Treats of Mexico had an amazing selection of, well, treats of Mexico! It's not all packaged goodies though. What brought me to Treats of Mexico was the concha ice cream sandwich. For a delicious, Houston heat-friendly version of an old breakfast classic, order your concha with coffee or chocolate abuelita flavored ice cream. I had mine with chocolate abuelita ice cream and it.was.awesome. If you like lighter flavors, they have other intriguing ice creams like rose petal, which sounds lovely. If you're not an ice cream person, have yourself a mangonada! Or maybe some chicharrones.The shop itself is little but adorable. Most of the interior is taken up by candies and toys and other delights. There are two tables outside and two inside. When I came in one of these was taken by a little girl studying. Pretty sure she was the owners' daughter. This place is clearly a family operation and it made my day to enjoy one of their delicious treats!

Cute little shop in the East End that's been on my radar for far too long. I don't have much of a sweet tooth - as much as their frozen treats and candies of my childhood sound attractive... but what brought me in was their handmade facemasks imported from various parts of Mexico. I dropped in to show my support during Latinx Heritage Month, and also buy a gift for my mom (and myself).When I dropped in, they were under renovation with plans to expand to the adjacent suite. Best wishes on the expansion. I'll pop in the next time I'm craving a paleta, dulces, or ice cream concha!

Definitely my favorite place to go to. I've brought several of my friends here to try the ice cream and find all the traditional candy in store. My favorite ice cream has to be the chocolate abuelita flavor (not pictured here). Also, staff is super friendly. Gracias por su servicio!

Mangonada is very delicious, perfect for a hot day, they have it in small and large size. We got a large, enough to share for two, $8.66. It's a cute tiny little shop, they also have a variety of Mexican candies, ice cream, elote. If you are in the neighborhood (super close to U of H), stop by and grab a snack. There's also a antique shop and bakery next door.

Such a friendly owner and the treats are delicious! Highly recommend!! He has a lot of fun candy options too.
