FOOD INSTAGRAM: @northtx.gemz •••• 🍒 WHAT THEY’RE KNOWN FOR: 5 locations across Texas! According to their website, it seems to be a family business that has grown from Mexico. They sell elotes and tons of Mexican street snacks using only fresh ingredients (no canned corn here). 🍒 THE VIBE: very colorful, sweet employees. 🍒 PRICE: ~$20 🍒 WOULD I COME BACK? Yes! •••• Overall Rating: 9.5/10 If you know me, I am obsessed with anything with chamoy and tajin so this place was up my alley! I find that other palaterias can be really dirty (dirty places have the best food too tho lol) but this one was not too dirty but had an organized menu which I liked. I loved how they had a separate salsa station and toppings too for you to customize and add more to your snacks. The manzana loca is something I highly recommend. The chamoy on the apples were so perfect and it’s was so good my mouth is literally watering typing this. I will say I wish they cut out the core/seeds of the apple. The small fruit box was the perfect portion. Can someone tell me what fruit that is purple in the middle? It tasted so familiar but I couldn’t put my finger on it. I will say the Elote was okay, maybe because I didn’t put the right salsa, but it was missing fresh lime juice. They don’t have any limes here which I found really strange. Overall, go visit a place near you! They have a great menu to...
Read moreThis was my first and LAST time coming here. You have 4 people working (2 teenagers and 2 adults) and no one cares to do anything. I ordered 3 items on the kiosk, and it took over 30 minutes. I would have walked out, but I had already paid on the kiosk. This is the worst run business ever, and I am sure they don’t care because most of the reviews are about the same. You can’t take people’s money for your overpriced items and then don’t even serve it on time. Every one just go to Fruit Net instead about 5 minutes away. I’m sure the response from the owner on here will be like “I don’t have 2 teenagers working” like the other responses lol.
[Thank you for your reply…]
RESPONSE: El problema fue que habia 4 personas (2 adultos y 2 muchachitas) que no estaban atendiendo bien. Yo espere media hora para que me den 3 cosas que ordene. No habia clientela esperando por eso me dio coraje tener que esperar...
Read moreThis place is over hyped for no reason. The food does not match the price. This place is very expensive. We spend $40 for 6 items. The small drinks are $5.00. The elotes are $6 (over priced) The elote plate is $7.50 - againOver priced. I bough chocolate covered strawberries and the strawberries were old and squishy. The seats almost gave me a heart attack when I sat down. It’s like when you miss a step and you get that scary feeling. They need new seats for the amount of money they’re making in one day. The food is over priced by 50% of the market. I’m going to stick with my elote lady off of webchappel and forest lane, directly in front of the chicken/taco place, next to the gas station. You will never have to worry about asking for cheese (like I did at fannys) we wanted to just go check it out and we had our experience, to each their own. Knock...
