The staff makes it even more enjoyable. They are nice and very attentive to what you want and how you want it. Any questions about the things on their menu, theyll gladly tell you. Everything Ive tried so far is delicious.

Fast service, I love their extensive options. The mini pancakes were delicious! Nice and fluffy. I like that they are generous in the portions. I give four stars because my sister got the cherry Italian ice and it didnt taste like much. Just kinda sweetened but not necessarily any distinct cherry flavor. Would visit again to try more!

This is your one stop shop for great corn in a cup, mangonadas, shaved ice, ice cream, fruit and so much more. What I like most is the quality of the products. The staff takes their time to make sure everything is served to perfection. The line is a bit slow, but I understand the time it takes for preparation. My favorite is corn in a cup with Hot Cheetos. The bomb!!😋

Great snack variety as well as great customer service! Hands down the best place in San Antonio to get fresh fresca’s, the best mini pancakes around and the chips with cheese is great bud it’s even better when you add diced pickles into that mix, you’ll thank me later hahahaDustin R

If I could give 10 starts I would. This place is YUMMY.They have a large menu with interesting specialty items. This is what we had..Mini pancakes with bananas, strawberries, and sweet cream. The pancakes are freshly made and very fluffy. The combo of flavors is sooo good.Pineapple Strawberry Explosion. Layered shaved ice (half pineapple, half strawberry), vanilla ice cream, more shaved ice, and coveted with fresh pineapple chunks & strawberries.Agua fresca, watermelon flavor. Im a auga fresca diva. Must be fresh, with real fruit, and not crazy sweet. This checks all those boxes

Aloha is the best place to get a sweet treat. My favorite is the mini pancakes topped with banana, Stawberry, and ice cream. There Fresh made lemonade is so good too.

My girlfriend showed me this place on tictok and was very skeptical if thats how they made there special ice cream designs. When we arrived there were lots of people but they managed the line really nice so people have a way to have there orders ready. We tried the mini pankackes and they were soo good. Overall it was worth the drive to get there and waiting in line. Definitely go check it out.

Ordered the mini pancakes and a strawberry explosion. Delish on both fronts. They have lots of standards for fruterias but a lot of their own twists on the classics. We will be back.

I got a Tigers blood Shaved ice with cream and my mom got a Fresca mangonada. They both looked really good but they didnt taste good. My shaved Ive had no flavor whatsoever and the mangonada was warm and also had no flavor. They had great service and presentation, but really need to look into different sweeteners. I took the picture before we tried it.

Super cool business with fresh ideas on snacks and desserts based on American and Spanish favorites. Better get to this place early because there usually is a line out the door for all of the amazing treats and eats that they offer. I got the Brownie Blast and had to split it with my niece, we loved it.

Review №18

Ordered a fresas con crema, a strawberry pineapple explosion, tigers blood with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, nachos with jalapeños, and Fritos with jalapeños. Everything was delicious and exactly what we wanted. The only exception was the fresas con crema. For $7.99 I expected a little more crema with the fruit. A little busy but the service was good and fast.

Theres so many different options here. I love el Takis con queso and the vanilla milkshake. Also, la fruta, los pepinos con tajin, the chocolate milkshakes, the chocolate covered strawberries. They have a mouthwatering variety of ice cream as well! You must come to this place! YOU MUST!

We absolutely love Aloha! Everything Ive ordered from here is delicious and it is definitely the best spot in San Antonio for snacks. The employees are always kind and they always seem to be busy doing their jobs. Ive never overheard gossip. Parking can be kind of tricky and because of Covid they have had to get rid of their tables inside. Hopefully they will bring the tables back soon.

The place is fantastic. Everything Ive tried is great so far (those mini pancakes especially), but you can also be confident that everything is done right. Everything is clean, individually contained, and socially distanced. Id be there more often if it werent a ways away from me, but rest assured Ill find any excuse to swing by!

This place has large portion sizes and tons of options. Im not sure why its called Aloha though, I went there expecting to see options and flavors typical to Hawaii but its just a paleteria.

Review №33

Amazing treats! MINI PANCAKES! Who would have thought they would be so popular!? I noticed when people receive their order they almost always take a picture of it. 😁🍦🍨 Theyre very nice and the service is excellent. The wait line can get kinda long on the weekends so be prepared, but its worth it!

Review №34

Very friendly staff and clean location. Large selection of flavors for shaved ice. This is the very fine, soft ice, not a regular snow cone. They have the usual flavors and also Mexican delicacy flavors and treats (Piccadilly, etc). Family friendly environment. Will definitely visit again.

My Dad and I went for the first time and it was amazing! We both got a Strawberry and Pineapple Explosion. He also got the Pineapple Aguas Frescas. Excellent Customer Service! We were greeted as soon as we came in and the gentlemen at the cash register was so nice and and asked us if we had any questions since it was our first time there! We will for sure be back! Worth every penny!

Review №47

Fear. Fear. Fear. It is ridiculous in there, the rope and tables in front of the containers. No where to sit. Its insanity and we refuse to subscribe to it. So sad, because this used to be our favorite place. We will be going else where from here on out, as they so politely tell their customers who leave negative reviews.

Just delicious!! Super good here!!!! They need a bigger place with more registers and more blenders and a bigger prep area to handle the exceedingly long lines... But for now its worth it

Review №52

THIS IS THE BEST MILKSHAKE IVE EVER HAD!!! You can mix ice cream flavors, so I ordered Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough with Chocolate ice cream, and I dont regret it. I chose not to have whipped cream on top, but it was offered. The workers were so friendly and I was in there for less than 5 minutes. Prices are fantastic. I would definitely recommend.

Nice local shaved ice and ice cream shop. Friendly service. Cold front blew in and I started craving a snow cone. Had a coconut shaved ice. It was very tasty. The ice is very smooth and finely shaved. I recommend stopping in.

Review №55

Im so disappointed in the service I received on April 10th. I drive all the way from Bulverde, TX, as we love the mini pancakes. While waiting in line for an hour, one of the ladies behind the counters had the audacity to shout across the room to tell me to keep my 5-year-old kids in line because they were walking around the tables. Keep in mind, you can’t hear from across the room with the music playing, so she pulled down her mask and said it louder. A place that prides itself on “Customer Care is our #1 Priority!” should encourage its employees to demonstrate those values. I value supporting small businesses, but not when treated poorly. I wont be returning for the lack of customer service.

Review №63

Not good, when I am outside, my daughter accidentally spilt her drink and my girlfriend advised me one of the employees was yelling at my daughter about the spill that was an accident. The employee embarrassed my daughter who was crying, because the spill was an accident, and now she doesnt ever want to go back. It was our first time there and we were looking forward to it. Im just glad I was not inside when this happened, I would of lost my cool with the employee. It really sad this happened, but whats worse, when your daughter ask to never go there again. So I dont and wont ever advise anyone to go to this place that has no problem yelling at the customer for an accident, especially if it is a child.

Best Mangonadas in the Alamo City!My wife and I discovered these delicious Mangonadas at the Fiesta Fiesta event at Hemisphere this year. They were so good that we bought two more before leaving the event later that night. I recently visited the actual location, friendly/colorful atmosphere and awesome treats! Highly recommended!

First time there odered the strawberry. Filled with strawberry shaved ice with straberry flavor, vanilla ice cream, and strawberries and cream on top. It was very flavorful. Staff and establishment serve items with covid safety in mind. Prompt and courteous service. I would go back for more, while Im in town.

The reason why this place is becoming so popular is because of their unique, creative treats.
