There is ALWAYS atleast 5 cars waiting in line during the summer. If you have the misfortune of being in the Valley(it’s hot!!!) during the summer and need something to cool off, go here. There are a ton of Raspa(shaved ice, snow cone) stands everywhere but none are as good as Popeye’s. You have to try it to understand. The place has its quirks(a weird«U» turn you have to do to get to the drive through, you order through the passenger side window, they collect your money with a fish net.) but it’s worth it. Try anything. it’s good.

In Dallas, they called it shaved ice. At home in the Valley, it’s a raspal Either way, it’s freaking delicious. This is a little taste of home complete with signature flavors I have yet to find anywhere else. With crazy combinations like a picadilly(a raspa with pickle shavings and a chili-kool aid powder) and deluxe(coconut and almonds, yum!), Popeye’s is the original raspa in the RGV. They have lots of little quirks like funky names, a fishnet to grab your money, and the same other things that they sell that nobody buys. Airheads, anybody? There’s always a line a mile long but stick it out, it’s worth it! Cherry picadilly, I miss you!

I love that they are open year round but closed on Sunday! They have saved ice and great flavors

This place is the BOMB! They’ve been open for 30 years or something crazy like that. The BEST as far as I’m concerned. They close early like 8 P.M. and there’s usually a line. Totally worth it… Mango Raspa Deluxe — Mango sno-cone topped w/Coconut, sliced almonds, fresh mango, and whipped cream. OMGSOOOOOOGOOD!
