Sweet Frida Artisan Italian Ice — Restaurant in Austin

After years of chasing them down lol I finally was able to eat some. I’m not joking about chasing them down either, last time I tried to get to them they left the event early and we were literally trying to follow them while I was writing the owner that we see them driving off 🤣🤣 And let me tell you OMG IT WAS AWESOOOOOOME!! I ordered cotton candy, watermelon and mango. These helados were soooooooo gooooood. Reminded me of back home in 🇵🇷. But these were so flavorful the flavors were so great you can actually taste the actual flavors. The mango had little pieces of mango in them too, soooooo soooooo good. I was literally about to start licking the cup if my love didn’t take it away from me🤣🤣 Thanks to my love for remembering how much I wanted this and he took me to get some. These are not store bought either, they make it themselves. If you’re in the Austin area you have to go!!!!! They have 2 locations: 2906 Fruth St and 4101 S 1st St. oh and 2 new flavors: passion fruit and horchata 🤤 @dulcefridaatx thank you for your great service and delicious helados. Your son Jesus...

Francesco and Rosie were so very accommodating being that it was our 1st time. They welcomed sampling to ensure we got what we liked. There are some limited time flavors like lemon or mango+tajin/chamoy and pineapple. It was the smoothest and most flavorful Italian ice I’ve ever had!!! There’s no comparison with store bought (not to be confused with shaved ice).

With 1 scoop starting at $5 and XL w/6 scoops going up to $16 — I got a small with 3 scoops; pineapple, peach and cherry. the mixed so well together and tasted exactly like the iced version of the fruit, it was such a treat 😋

Next time, I’m plotting on passionfruit, coconut +strawberry w/a refreshing...
