Bionicos Yahualica — Restaurant in Richmond

I was very excited to try this spot, as they had a variety of options from smoothies to helados and raspados. I ended up getting the mangonada de raspado.

Service was decent, the workers didn’t speak very fluent English but got by ordering ok, only waited 5 minutes or so for my order.

We ordered the Strawberries Agua Frescas (SAF) and Mangonada. The SAF was pretty good; a little different from the usual. They blended the fruits with other ingredients. It was more like a well-blended smoothie. The Mangonada was better than most that we have had. We'll come back to try other drinks on the...
