Big Ice Raspados

I found this little gem of a place because I happened to be a few doors down at the laundromat. It was a blistering hot day and the humidity was killing us all. One of the kids in the laundromat was running around with what looked to be a little slice of heaven in the form of a reddish Raspado. I asked his parents where he got it from and she directed me to doors down to Big Ice.
My daughter and I took a stroll down there while our clothes were still washing. We were excited to see that they had everything from chamangos to elotes to Fresas con Crema (One of my all-​time favorite treats). I hopped on the Fresas while my daughter got herself a strawberry Raspado.
My strawberry concoction was absolutely perfect. The strawberries were clearly fresh and crisp. The cream that they were Mixtown was not too thin and not to Dick, perfect for scooping out with the spoon. On top of that the serving size was downright big, although for six dollars, it was pretty much what I was expecting.
My daughter stomped out her strawberry Raspado so fast that they gave her brain freeze and I was unable to take a picture of it. When she stopped wincing in pain from the brain freeze she was able to tell me that she absolutely loved it :-)
The only downside to this place is that it’s located very much Tucked away in this little strip mall that houses El Super, AutoZone and Fallas Paredes. It’s tough to find but definitely worth the effort.

This place is BOMB! Their chamangos and champinas are so delicious! Keeps you cool during the summer heat.

The best chamango drinks as well as the chamarindo, and chamoyada drink!!! We drive all the way from Chino Hills for these drinks. They’re the best!!!

Got the chamango, it was okay the lady that made it barely put any mango chunks in it hence the 3 stars, overall it was okay I’ve definitely had better.

I give it an A (like a 95%)
I love the chamango, and more recently, really fell for the Diablito. Like seriously, it’s delicious! Salty, sweet, spicy, and sour all combined to make a tangy and satisfying drink. Diablito is my personal choice all the way! It’s a lot more chamoy than the other drinks here FYI. Actually, it’s mostly chamoy with tamarind at the bottom. It’s awesome.
The only thing that holds me back from giving this place 100% is (1) cash only and (2) the fact that they put way to much ice in the drinks. Half of the drink is ice and I usually dump it out in order to get to the fruit at the bottom. Besides these two details, the actual drinks are addicting. I have it at least once a week and it’s kind of a new tradition at work: Chamango Fridays… which somehow transitioned to Chamango Tuesdays and Thursday’s…we obviously have an obsession that seems to be growing lol. Oh and also, the majority of drinks are $ 5, which for some may be a little pricey, but I think it’s totally worth it!

Probably one of the better spots in the area for chamangos! Great service, friendly staff, and amazing drinks!!! Cash only as well! If you don’t have cash you can get change from the market next door. And it’s technically healthy since it’s all fresh fruit… lol. Also, the address on Unilocal is wrong. It’s in the same place where church’s chicken is at, between the 99 cents only store and the market! Hope that helps finding the place lol.

Soooo refreshing & delicious!!!
Don’t give up when you don’t see it right away… keep walking towards the back & it’s worth every step!!!

So yummy and cheap!

I would walk 500 miles then I would walk 500 more! I love this place such a treat on a hot day. It has its busy times and the staff is pure business no small talk but who cares? I will take a pico de gallo raspado please!

I go here every weekend. One of the best authentic raspados locations around. Other places use syrup that’s too sweet or watered down. Vanilla /​strawberry raspado is the best

Love this place! Been coming here for a while, my mom introduced me this place. They have great authentic Mexican raspados and treats! I have tried the pineapple, coconut, pecan, and vanilla raspados and they have always been delicious. I recently barely tried their famous chamango and it’s good! I ask for not too much chamoy, because it can get overwhelming. They have tostilocos, nachos, churritos, and bionicos. They also have strawberries and cream and a few coffee drinks.
The ladies that run this place are very friendly. I always get good service when I go.
On summer weekends this place sure knows how to get crowded! But even then, you don’t wait too long for your drink. Oh and this place is cash only so leave your card at home!

Love This Place!
Each time I’m in the 626 area it’s a must stop !!
Chamango & strawberry Raspado are my favorite!!!

Great place to come for shave ice. Been coming since 2004. I love how you walk in and you can smell the fresh fruit.

I have been a loyal customer since 2006… BIG ice is the spot!
Extra Lechera? feel free do so…

I found this place back in 2012 and ever since I loved it !
My favorite is chamango!
I’ve taken several people to this place to try and they always end up liking it and going back ! The first time I tried chamangos and churros was at Mexico and nothing ever compared to them but this place really knows how ! So delicious! I highly recommend this place !

If you’re coming to try a chamango, it’s not worth it. Too icy (like a snow cone), too much chamoy and the wait is too long. It’s also a bit over priced. The other stuff on the menu look pretty good though, so those might be worth it.

It was a struggle to find this place but so worth it once we did. The address listed on Unilocal is incorrect and takes you to a residential area. Luckily another Unilocaler posted the correct address and we were able to find it. For those who don’t know it’s:
14 131 Ramona Blvd, Baldwin Park.
On to the deliciousness, we ordered a chamango, melon raspado, and elote. Everything was really good. Perfect amount of sweetness and spice.
You know when you taste something and it’s so good you just know you’re going to be craving it again. Unfortunately I was just visiting but will make it a point to stop by when I’m in the area again.

I got my first chamango here. It was pretty good but there were a lot of hard mango fibers that I couldn’t chew/​drink down. I was also really thirsty afterward. There was only one lady working the day I went and I was probably the 3^rd person in line. The wait felt like forever but I was determined to get my chamango. Luckily there’s a TV on the side so I entertained myself by trying to translate the Spanish news. Not sure if I’ll come back anytime soon but I’ll try something different next time.

When I originally went to try to look for this place using the address listed on Unilocal,it lead me to a residential area, with no stores anywhere near the area. And since there’s no phone number, I was hugely disappointed.
I so badly wanted to try a chamango from this place, so I did some searching, and found that the correct address is:
14 131 Ramona Blvd, Baldwin Park, CA
**Word of caution — it is located between the 99 cent store and Rite Aid, in that little walkway, so it can easily be missed. It’s the store all the way in the back too, so parking in the back of the alley is much closer than parking in the main plaza area.**
I’ve had a mangoeda before from E. LA, and this place is legit! My bf and I got the chamango and chamoyada and they were both delicious! The chamoyada is a bit spicier though. Looking forward to trying other flavors on my next visit!

I’ve been coming here for a few years now; ever since my old coworkers introduced it to me. If I’m in the area I will always go in for a strawberry raspados, especially on a hot day. Chunks of strawberry mixed in with that syrup and topped with condensed milk goodness. There is usually a line when I come here. It is in the little alley in the middle of the plaza, kind of hidden. I went there last weekend and there were some closed up shops next door and for a second I thought they closed down… i almost had a mini heart attack =\
