This was my first time visiting and although there was a line that wrapped around the outside and it was cold, that did not discourage my endeavor to try this spin on mangonadas.
Waited about 45 minutes in line. My companion placed our order as I managed to grab a table. You definitely need a buddy here! I had my hopes on trying the spicy dole whip but the machine was broken. That was a bummer.
My companion and I ordered mangonadas (mango slushy with tajin and chamoy) with a mango swirl. If you are not familiar with tajin or chamoy, they can be an acquired taste. The tajin is a chile/lime spice mixture and chamoy sort of tastes like sweet and sour sauce. You can order the drinks without these condiments if you prefer. We also ordered the Hot Cheeto Chilotes.
The mangonadas were good. I think the sweetness of the mango slushy is what makes it. The mango swirls add an event of texture to the icy drink.
The Hot Cheeto Chilotes I had my reservations about. It sounded like way too much going on. I mean we are talking corn, mayo, Cotija cheese, melted cheese, AND Hot Cheetos! But somehow, it works. At first the Hot Cheetos were a bit too powdery but once you mix them in it's bomb.com! I may try it next time sans Cheetos just to taste the difference.
Overall, I like the idea of the place but there is some serious lack of organization. There is not enough staff or blenders to keep up with the demand. They tried to get me to take an order of corn that had been sitting there since before I ordered. Then the young lady takes it away and brings it back as if it were fresh. I may return once staff is trained and demand has eased up.
