| - I was craving a chamango, and I stumbled upon this place on yelp. So glad to have found it! It's a Mexican dessert spot where they incorporate a lot of fruit into their desserts, but they also serve nachos, elotes, and esquites. All the workers here are Spanish speaking ladies, but don't be intimidated if you can't speak Spanish. They're really nice and helpful.
My buddy ended up getting what's called the pepinos lokos, which literally translates into "crazy cucumbers." It's cucumbers stuffed with Chaka Chaka and Japanese peanuts, and it's drizzled with chamoy and tamarind and some squeezed lime. I tried some of it, and it was freakin intense! If you have sensitive and weak teeth, this item might not be appropriate for you. My buddy also said that pepinos lokos are a very popular snack in Mexico.
I got a mango that was sliced into the shape of a rose topped with chamoy and tamarind, and it's pretty much a chamango served on a stick. It was really tasty and aesthetically pleasing! I also tried their Horchato, and it was one of the better ones I've had, with strong accents of cinnamon.
I will definitely be back to try some of their other items.
