"Great prices! Is the reason I continue to come back. Their specialty raspas are such great prices compared to anywhere else. Their sizes are bigger than most places, too. They're pretty quick. They don't have much space for cars to line up, but you never stay in line for long. The staff is always polite. The establisent looks clean and inviting. Only thing that is a small complaint is they close too early. By 7pm is closing time M - Sat and 6pm Sun and summer time the sun sets at almost 9pm! so that sucks a bit."
