Armadillo Snow Cones

Awesome little raspas spot that has a large menu, seasonal decor and friendly service. They offer a large variety of flavours, snacks, drinks and their own merch with many different toppings to choose from. The elote and watermelon aguas frescas were my favorite! I will definitely be returning! 🥤🌽 🍨

WORST SNOWBALL I EVERRRR HAD!! horrible! im from new orleans so baby i know how a snowball supposed to taste .. ice was hard and crunchy. flavors were VERY MUCH off brand and gave off a lil sour tangy taste. so i purchased a medium wedding cake stuffed w. icecream topped with condensed milk with extra juice it was verryyyyy SOUR TO BE WEDDING CAKE. so i expressed that to the woman and asked for a fruity flavor she was like they dont do refunds or exchanges w. a lil attitude. soo she made my new snowball watermelon the same way. w VERY LITTLE JUICE and jus had a lil scoop of icecream on top like no baby .. MORAL OF THE STORY THEY NOT GOOD .. and unprofessional!!

MUST TRY! This place offers unique raspa flavors! For example, I tried their unique raspa special "Texas Pecan" The raspa was good and not too sweet. It had pieces of pecan and top with caramel syrup. All leading to a refreshing and sweet treat. However, I was hungry as well so I ordered their other special "el especial." Street corn combined with hot cheetos and Mexican chips. This snack hit the spot on flavor and fulfilling. A must in Houston!

I sent them a message on Instagram and they replied immediately. I love that about any establishment. I asked about hours for Sunday they said open till 7pm. I asked if they take cash or card. They take both and add a .50 cent charge. I also asked if they had Leche and Leche quemada. They said they had pink and white Leche flavor. These raspas (snowcones) are identical to the ones from the valley. It's been a journey looking for something as good but I've finally found one. JACKPOT!!!!!!! AMAZING cozy little spot.

We decided to try a new snow cone place and we went here. It was a great experience! We're a fan of shaved ice and this shaved ice was sooo soft. The service was also great. They have a good variety of snow cones and other snacks. It was a bit hard to find since they have no sign, but we called and the employee helped us locate it. We're definitely planning on coming back. Although I have a go to snow cone place, I'm glad I explored this place

New to area! Came from Rosenberg Tx and haven't been able to find a good affordable snow cone place.. But let me tell you the price was affordable the lady & husband or very nice and friendly!! The ice is amazing 👏 😍 flavor everything blends together ❤️... It is very hard to find a good quality snow cone place with soft ice, too. Enjoy the taste

Great customer service (girl at window that takes orders was patient while waiting for my kids to decide on what to get.) It was close to closing time and it wasn't that busy so we got our stuff promptly. I was reluctant to get their CheetoCorn (it's just corn and Cheetos, right?) They were so ******* good

Yummy snow cones. Maybe a little too sweet, but definitely a great deal for the price. $2.50 (just right), $3.50 (too big), $6 (huge)

Such great snow cones and service here! Has a covered patio with tables and chairs that you can sit at while you eat ur snacks. Plenty of parking. They have so many flavor options, and other types of refreshing snacks and beverages available. My favorite is a mango flavored snow cone with chamoy and pickles. Perfect Sunday funday activity.

This is one of my favorite spots in the summer! They have a great price and you really get your money's worth! The service is good and the staff is friendly! If you're in need of an ice cold treat to beat the Texas heat, why not stop at our state mammals favorite spot!

Authentic Mexican raspas!!!! Yes!! It's a small stand, but they make the most delicious snow cones. They are Mexican owned and have other items on the menu besides snow cones, like elote and aguas frescas. I got the medium size, half blue raspberry, half blue coconut, and it was only $2.50! Perfect for a hot day. Note: it is just a stand with only outside seating area. Plan to eat in your car or take it to go. Good prices and good snacks. 10/10 recommend

Why have a business if y'all are never open!! I love the snowcones and everything else from here but dang it's always a hit or miss coming and the houston heat ain't no joke, no where else around here does shaved ice like yall i just wish the business hours were updated on the maps.

The best snow cone I have ever had. I don't like snow cones because of the messy nature of them but here the ice is so fine that it's like eating a slushy. They also make sure to have flavoring throughout the whole snow cone rather than just the top. Over all service was great the place is clean and presentable, just a 10/10. I'm happy I went

Houston heat had us grumpy and we needed to cool off! Being close to home I barely discovered. The shaved ice is so soft and in the heat a little to soft. I had a pineapple snocone with pickle dust or so; definitely tasty. The Tostitos chips with corn and cheese decent but not a must have. A little pricey for your buck. A try here and there is worth it.

The snow cones was good, the smell outside was terrible. I feel like that it was the sewer , however I had to walk on the opposite side away from the smell until my order was complete. The only thing we didn't like was how they made their elote. The hot Cheetos that's usually on the very top was under the corn. Never seen it done that way and it didn't taste that great. The service was cool, they were very patient and nice .

AMAZING SNOWCONES, unlike anything I've ever had before. You will be disappointed if you don't get the crema on top. I had the Wedding Cake and White Leche which was pretty great but the Root Beer and White Leche my mom ordered was even better. You cannot go wrong here as a small is only $2.50 and fills you up like a medium. I recommend 2 flavors and the crema or condensed milk on top. Most of my family ordered Medium sized snow cones and destroyed them. I will be going back!!!

How did it take me so long to visit?? This place surpassed all expectations and is my new favorite after just one visit. I got a perfect pina colada snow cone (with soft ice that both required no spoon stabbing and didn't melt immediately in the Texas heat) and elote en vaso. Definitely the best elote I have EVER had in Houston! Dang, maybe I'll go back tomorrow! The logo is cute too- maybe next time I'll see if they have t-shirts or hats....

I'm mad that it has taken me so long to get over here. This place has alllllll the snacks. I love their remix to the traditional elote. They add mozzarella to it, which definitely gives it an extra layer of flavor and dimension. I also tried this thing with hot Cheetos, pickles, and chamoy. Can't recall the name of it, but it's awesome!! Spicy but very awesome. There's also these gummy candies in mango, watermelon, and pineapple, all with chili on them. Soo good. Reminded me of growing up and eating Lucas on the school bus. Lol. The snow cone was good too. It was tamarindo with coconut. The guy suggested it, and was spot on. If you try it, ask for the cream on top. The guy (I think his name is arnold.) was super nice and allowed me to sample some stuff before I made my selections. This place is pretty good. I plan to return soon. I only have on suggestion, all of the candies should come in a ziploc or some plastic wrap, instead of a styrofoam cup.

the elotes are great they use fresh corn and not the canned corn most trucks i been to use for their elotes , the snow cones are good too. Nice people only thing is im scared of bees and it was a few out there (not their fault) just watch out for bees if your scary like me during the day

Customer service was spectacular. I love a good smile. Both the snocones we got with crema went hard hard if you know what I mean. I got the tigers blood and the flavors were so on point. My favorite tigers blood I've ever gotten and I get it everywhere. The other one we got was pretty shmackable too, piña colada and pink lemonade w/ tigers blood that one we put cream and the spicy salt on. Overall 10/10 experience. Check out my recent post on Instagram @SPACECITYSHMACKS. DEFINITELY APPROVED!!!!!

I had the pink leche with cream on top. The ice was super soft and the flavor was creamy and refreshing!!

Snow Cones are so soft and juicy!!! Only thing that made me give it 4 out of 5 is the fact that there's no restroom.

Best corn in a cup, hands down. If you love cheesy elotes, this is the spot to go. No need to ask for extra cheese! On top of that, their customer service is great, definitely recommend.

Yum! This place is fantastic. What is better than a tasty sweet snowcone on a hot Houston day?! Maybe nothing. Yummy spicy cheesy elote too. Will be back very soon.

I've been trying to come here for the past 4 years of living here. But never had the opportunity to try it. Finally did last month and it is my go to place. Really nice people and amazing raspas and elote. Their elote is so cheesy an gooood! I always get a half pickle half tamarind raspas or half mango. It's really good. I would recommend this place for anyone and it's really great kids.

Stopped by this evening. Had an amazing experience. Blue Raspberry snow ball was amazing. And huge in size, and only 3.50. Then I added nachos, which were nostalgic and good too. Customer service was A1, and the young lady at the counter was so kind. I'd have pictures if I hadn't demolished on the way home.

Honestly... best snow cones in Houston. Customer service is an 11/10 every single time. Super family friendly and they always make you feel welcomed. And on top of that, every single item that I've ordered is delicious and comes out amazing. Plus it's pet friendly and a cool place to hang out. Y'all should stop by ASAP

They're pretty good and they accept credit cards, which is rare in the hood, but they're never open! It's pretty frustrating and I usually end up at the refresqueria on Harrisburg because they have consistent hours.

Best snow cones in Houston! I'm from Louisiana so I have high standards for snow cones and Armadillo's are the best. Their ice is soft and the flavors really shine. They have lots of snow cone flavors and great frito pie, elote, and agua frescas. I always get the Tigers Blood with cream OR stuffed with vanilla ice cream.

Great snow cones ! Super soft ice ! I literally passed by here so many times over the last 5 years and had no idea it was here . Glad I noticed it and stopped . The elote is so good ! Super cheesy . I added chamoy to my strawberry snow cone and it was bomb !

Best snow cones in East side! Super soft ice, with awesome flavors! Accepts debit and cash. Elote is with the mozzarella!!

YUM! The snowcones are delish! Perfect treat on a hot day. Soooo Good! Inexpensive field trip for kids and adults. 3.00 for a large 2-flavor with cream on top, 2.00 for a medium. They are .50 less without the cream, but why wouldn't you splurge? Try them!

The Best SnoCone place everr, the quality and texture of the ice was to die for, personally think it was better than Bahama Bucks! I had the Tigers Blood...honestly So Yumm! Definitely recommend the Mango, my friend got it and let me tell you, it was Oh-Soo-Good & very refreshing on this Sunny day!! Tried some of the Pink Léche and I was not disappointed, the Blue Raspberry of course was amazing! They had Excellent Service; Very Welcoming, Extremely Nice & last but not least, Super Quick!!! Will definitely be coming here again.....Very Soon!

I've been getting snow cones from here since I was around 7 years old, I've always enjoyed just about every product they had, mango snow cone being my favorite or bubble gum. Prices are very fair.

I grew up eating raspas at this place. I was bummed that they little Mickey Mouse sign was taken down recently but the quality of the snow cone is still the same. I moved away from Houston 25 years ago and came back a couple of years ago and as soon as I got back, I headed over to this little stand and found myself feeling all of the feeling of my childhood. I used to ride in the back of the stationwagon or truck of my neighbors every week and we would head over to grab a raspa to ease the day. I always get the Mango with Crema. Love it!!!
