Mango Island Refresqueria

Try this place!!! It doesn’t look like much, but it was one of the best snow cones I’ve ever had!

very slow service and it was not even busy…
Employees not friendly at all not even a smile
They don’t take credit cards WOW who doesn’t take credit cards, hello 2016 is here, since they took a long time to get my order ready I ask them if they had a phone number to call and place my order in advanced and what a surprise no phone number
What kind of business is this.

The BEST CORN IN A CUP in Houston so far! Deliciously unhealthy and flavorful in every way! Limey, Spicy, creamy, mmmmmmmmmm. Come on, who eats corn in a cup on a diet! ;P
I believe it is cash only, that is the only catch.

Super fast service! Great elotes and mangonadas! Prices are very reasonable as well. The mangonada is so refreshing and full of chunks of mango.

It was so yummy I love love love love the mangonada it was delicious!!! The fruit bowl was very very yummy too but I wish there was more mango. I also love their elote it was really yummy at first the cheese smell so bad then once u mix it everything tastes so good so that don’t really matter. Over all I love the food so much. Just wish there is somewhere to sit.

Literally at the corner of Gessner and Whiteside. When it’s hot and you know you’re going to be stuck in traffic by Memorial, it’s the best place to stop by. I always get the mangonada and nothing else. It’s fruity, refreshing, and more snow cone like.

I’m so glad I’ve found this amazing place. Recommend: Mangonada and Cocktail de mango
Try these 2 before trying anything else. You won’t be disappointed

Love the fact they are open during the winter. The mangonada has real pieces of mango as do their Pina and strawberry. Real fruit, delicious and just perfect. The corn in the cup with everything is also good. A must try place. Try anything or everything you won’t be disappointed.

This place has the best mangonadas in town!
I’m giving it four stars because the first thing I tried here was the Lucas-​bomb and it was so salty! I’m sure it raised my blood pressure! I couldn’t even eat half of it and was forced to toss the rest. The salt was unbearable! However, the next time I came I got the mangonada and it was so delicious!
I will definitely be returning!

Yummy mangonadas all the way around! Hands down the best in the area. Expect a slight wait in line though. I’ve come at different times of different days and there’s ALWAYS a line. Totally worth the wait!

I’ve discovered this place when I moved to the Spring Branch area and was craving something cool during the hot summer. Skeptical pulling up to an older house converted into a food business with a serve up counter.
I’ve had a few mangonadas around Houston, and this is by far the BEST I’ve ever had. The soft shaved ice, the natural mango flavor from the purée, the lucas and chili spices, and chamoy comes together perfectly. When ordering, I recommend getting it in the next size up to avoid spillage. For example, just say I want a small mangonada in a medium cup.
I’ve also tried the elotes (corn in a cup) with butter, mayo, cheese, and chili sauce. Good, but not the best I’ve had.
A knock on this place is that the ice has become a little more chunky over time and not as shaved as soft like the first summer I’ve had it. However, still good.
This place is cash only and doesn’t accommodate parking very well. It gets hot during the day as the sun beats down on you while you wait for your drink. If there’s a line, it could be a long wait too.

This place is the dessert highlight of my summer. I am so glad I found it!!! I’m trying to try every item on the menu, but so far I’ve had the Mangonada (A++++) and Chamoyada. The mangonada is better for my taste buds because I personally cannot handle a whole cup of chamoyada because it’s a lot lot tangier than I’d imagined. I have a sensitive stomach as well… but if I could I would eat the entire thing because it’s great. One time I mixed the chamoyada with cherry and omg it’s BOMB af.
I was literally dying trying to order a snow cone but after one bite I felt like yeezus.

I love this place. Mangonadas r so good. They have small medium and large size. Remember to ask for a stamp card. I think it’s buy 7 get 1 free. If u want something stronger get the Chamoynada. But it can get a little spicy. But still soo good especially when it’s 90 degrees in H town

THE CHAMOYADA IS MY NEW FAVORITE. End of story. (Has more chamoy syrup of course and a lot more tangier)

SO DELICIOUS!
This is the best place to get mangonadas in Houston. I’ve tried other places and it doesn’t even compare to this place.

If you’re willing to wait for the Mangonadas then you’re in for a good ass snack. The wait is long but it’s always worth it.

I have no idea what people are raving about.
I feel cheated.
People should be warned that the «mangonada» HERE is just ice blended with barely any mango. There were barely any mango flavor in it. I’ve eaten many mangonada and I can tell you I won’t be coming back here for that. I’ve had mangonada in Dallas and there’s this one place that was legit and so good! Too bad I can’t say the same for here.
I’m still going on a hunt for the real deal in Houston.
Anyone know a better place feel free to hit me up :)

Delicious treats! I tried the Mangonada and corn in a cup, both were great! The Mangonada has fresh mangoes and the chamoy straw brought it all together. Love the amount of spices on it. Very filling and service was quick. Staff was friendly and answered any questions I had.
This place is located on a corner lot and is attached to a residence. Parking is almost non existent. It’s just a walk up window so it’s meant for you to grab and go. They have a big variety of concession stand type foods so you are likely to find something you like.
Pro: great food, decent prices, quick service, friendly staff
Con: parking stinks, awkward parking, CASH only

OMG this place is really good thank you « Unilocal» I haven’t had one of this in years and they where really good I have to say it was not spicy at all so if you don’t like spicy treats this is good for you as well, they also have corns with mayo, cheese with lime and we also had a raspa or raspados with fresh strawberries and lots of condense milk if you ask for extra they will charge you but is totally worth it will be back if I don’t find one closer to me since it was a long drive but while trying to get to know the city it was great to discover this little gem just look for the sing that says mr. natural and is right next to it.
I’m so happy right now.

Snow cones are a blessing on a hot summer Houston day!
Found this place on Unilocal after getting out if the pool… Pictures of the mangonada made is go here.
We ordered a mangonada, mango bomb (same thing as a mangonada with more chili powder), lemon lime snow cone, horchata snow cone, limon raspa (natural), and a chili cheese hot Cheetos.
Snow comes are great… Not shaved ice but it’s got nice texture! Flavors are also really good! No complaints here.
Chili cheese hot Cheetos were good snack food… Pretty spicy.
Easy to miss so when you see the smiling mango slow down!!! Parking is limited and beware of people walking around! Bring cash they only accept cash!
