Large open area, They had many fresh fruits and deserts. We had the ice cream which was amazingly plentiful for a two scoop and you can mix and match. They even let you sample different flavors. We enjoyed the many options they had to offer. We would come back again.

This place is absolutely amazing. They handled Covid so well! I felt very safe as they are SO CLEAN. The food is so good, it’s hard for me not to order everything on their menu. They have the best ice cream in Kansas City, you will not find better trust me!! 10/10 I always have a great experience here

Been here several times for the juice!! They make it fresh, right in front of you and its sooooo good! Havent tried the food yet, but it looks really good too and the facility is kept clean. They also have a unique selection of ice cream, including cactus. Fresh fruit, smoothies etc. And prices are better than other juicers in KC.

Was a little bit of a wait because they make everything fresh. The ladies behind the counter were nice. I had the Fruit Coctail cup and a Doritoelotes. It was all really good! There’s so much on the menu. I will be back again.

This is coming from a 14 year old the funnel cake is good but yesterday my mom came back crying cause the manager of that place screamed at her for asking the cook if he want to work part time we’re she worked at cause he was a good cook mind you they pay way more at my moms job than this trash anyways my mom canceled her order and she was crying for 2 hours straight until I cuddled with her and made her laugh her eyes were red but I just can’t believe it :(

This is a great place to grab some ice cream. Lots of interesting and sometimes unique flavors. Lots of ways to enjoy those flavors. The biggest problem here is that English is a distant second language. Flavors can be hard to determine and local tradition seems to favor standing directly in front of the ice cream flavors so it can be hard to see what is on offer. Stay are friendly and helpful.

The food here is great. When ordering by phone I would think my food would be ready by the time I picked it up, they did not , when I heard my order with my name I assumed it was ready but no, they put it on the side of the counter as if something was missing from it, it was about 25min waiting there and the lady looked at me and said did you need anything else. I was like yeah my food, Ive been waiting. There were 4 women in the kitchen talking instead of helping customers.

In a word this place is AMAZING. It is so good and everything I had from the juice to the hamburgers and the funnel cakes were made to order right in front of you. And the staff were so helpful and kind I will come back and I will bring my friends this is a place for the books. And dont even get me started on the ice cream which was some of the best Ive had.

This is starting to be my new favorite Mexican snack shop. The fried banana was good, the flautas were amazing and the strawberries and cream was good. I used Door Dash normally but was in the area and stopped by. Im not disappointed

Review №33

If I could give a 0 star I would. Customer service is trash! The ladys will roll their eyes at you and talk bad about you in front of you. As a Mexican American I am embarrassed to see this hispanic business have terrible service and procedures. Health and Safety/ Customer Service is the most important thing when presenting to your customers.

Review №34

Always fantastic food, it may be helpful when you go there to be Spanish-speaking or to know some Spanish because the majority of the staff do not speak English. But they are always friendly and try to help you navigate through the menu the best they can.

Every time I go to this place me and my friends get served very poorly and they have really bad attitudes. They always get annoyed when I order more than two things. Their costumer service is bad, if the owner isn’t there they aren’t friendly.

Home made icecream Id say very similar to gelato I think they said they have around 50 flavors very reasonably priced good food and stuffed churros who can say no to that

Review №68

Excellent! Pleasant-ish staff (need to smile more though), willing to describe the ice cream flavors (need labels) and a fairly well-lighted, open space to enjoy your treats.Willing to give samples and since they had some unusual flavors (avocado, corn, one Ive forgotten) it was appreciated; the avocado was really good.Got my semi-usual ronpope (eggnog with raisins) & it was delicious. Not crystalized or gooey like it gets when its old or thaws & refreezes.Looking forward to trying an elote or the chilaquiles upon my return, which will be soon.Id like to give 4.5 but cant do 5 until its tightened up a bit. Didnt like seeing the freezers off to one side & the entrance is confusing. Get the staff to smile & at least ACT like theyre happy to wait on you.

Came here to tried out some new food and ice cream with my close friends and fam! Great open space and plenty of seating. Staff are friendly and the food is serve fresh. Like the Mexican hot dog. Yumm!I do like the their pistachio ice cream! Very tasty and one single scoop is just enough for me. If you order a kid size, it comes in a cute cardboard truck and great for the kids to play with once they are done with their ice cream.Their mangoneda is good with mango ice cream, mango bits, chamoy, tajin, and a straw filled with tamarind. But it is overwhelming with the chamoy sauce, I think I would ask a little of it next time.And lastly, the Elotes is just as good as Tropicana. Good amount of cheese, corn, and tajin. Definitely would go back for that.
