Reviews

"I like this spot and it's pretty refreshing like it's namesake. They have soo many colorful fruit flavors here and various ice cream as well. Wanting something savory or salty?..Refresqueria has that as well! Pickles, corn in a cup, nachos, and all that jazz. I have tried the mangonada here and it's one of my favorites. They add plenty of toppings and chamoy as well. I love the addition of gummy candies and you can top your drinks with other blended fruits as well. Honestly y'all, this is a good corner spot for some cravings. This Refresqueria spot feels like home in Rice Village. Before that, this corner used to be a coffee shoppe but I am so glad that Refresqueria is here. It is colorful, vibrant and definitely brings joy on these hot summer days. I recommend trying it during these stretched heated days that call for a juicy and fruity blended beverage. It's a great hangout spot to bring family and friends. They have a few games as well as a retro arcade game as well. Anyway, until next time!"
