It's awesome to get traditional corn all the way and great ice cream for my grand babies
Sweet, juicy and delicious everything! The cashier was super nice too. The restaurant was refreshing too. Everything was priced good too. It definitely had a homey feel, and felt very authentic.
Freshest fruit bowl I've ever had! Ordered in the morning for 3 pm and it was ready/waiting when I went by. Still the best for fresh fruit cups & fruit bars! Kostoryz location is the best!
went to get a pickledilly here and it was amazing loved it !! there was a situation there that was happening but the staff handled it pretty well. one rude customer though
The Spot: Its got that "old market" feel, i.e., dated feel and look. But, its clean and they have a good selection of treats. Seating: Very small, only sits about (my guess) 12-16 people. Best to order and go. Parking: Small. Space for about 13 cars, but there a property next door that I'm sure you can sneak in for a quick to-go order. Service: What can I say, good and welcoming service seems to be a dying business practice. I give it a 5, just because of the "dryness." In other words, they aren't rude (maybe not intentionally), they just don't smile or make small gestures of kind service (e.g., Welcome, Thanks for stopping in, or Hello). What we had: DELISH! A Mangonada and Elote en Baso. Let's just say, we were in Corpus for three months and we stopped in SEVERAL times for these treats while we were there. As for anything else they carry, all I can say is, the place always had customers ordering all sorts of goodies that struck my interest. Unfortunately, I'm a creature of habit and stuck to my Manoganada and Elote en Baso. :-D
Got a copa de todo and it was so good!! Definitely had a better experience this time than last! Don't get the Frescas con creama because they don't put any strawberries in it! But the fruit cup was awesome!!! Just sucks that they changed the size.... what use to be a large is now considered an extra large! But other than that is was good!
They have all of the delicious Hispanic treats you grew up with. My favorite place to go when I'm feeling nostalgic or really craving a mango ice cream bar.
