Padillas Raspados

I discovered this place last summer looking for food spots. I was new to working in the area and stumbled upon it. I ended up having fruit for lunch which was quite refreshing. Today was my second time at this establishment and I see they are serving more than fruit and shaved ice. I had a Carne asada burrito. I was hoping since it was a small place the food would be done quickly but it took up most of my lunch break and I had to take it to go. Although the wait was long I have to admit I’d go back for lunch again. (Calling it in ahead of time, of course). The burrito was simple. Meat, beans, rice, onion, cilantro… the salsa they give, now that was Good. I always have a hard time finding good salsa to compliment my food. This place could use a bit of an interior upgrade. The seating is not very comfortable. Faster service and comfortable seating and I would’ve given them 5 stars. Service was friendly so what more can you ask for.

This is a small family run business serving a variety of Mexican themed fruit based drinks. The menu had many varieties of Raspados (fresh fruit with shaved ice), natural pressed juices, smoothies, fruit flavors waters, etc., and lots of beautiful carved fruits filled with fruit. I went in looking for a Chamango. The Chamango is mango, tamarindo, and chamoy mixed with shaved ice. It’s kInd of difficult to describe this tangy drink. They have a Facebook page that displays photos of their fruit drinks and dishes. The kind lady at the counter said they make menudo and pozole on the weekend. They have been open five months, I explained to the nice lady, that she had to get on Unilocal to stay in business. because Unilocalers will help keep you in business.
