Tostitos

“If you’re craving something refreshing and full of flavor, Raspados El Puesto is absolutely worth a visit. From the moment you walk up, the vibrant atmosphere sets the tone—bright colors, friendly service, and the irresistible scent of sweet syrups and fresh fruit. Their raspados (shaved ice treats) are the real highlight: perfectly fluffy ice drenched in bold, authentic flavors like tamarind, mango, and strawberry. You can customize your order with extras like condensed milk, chamoy, or fresh fruit, which takes everything to the next level. What really stands out is the balance of sweetness and freshness. Nothing tastes artificial or overly sugary—it’s clear they care about quality. Portions are generous, prices are reasonable, and the staff is welcoming and patient, especially if it’s your first time trying a raspado. Whether you’re cooling off on a hot day or just looking for something different from typical ice cream, Raspados El Puesto delivers a fun and delicious experience. Highly recommend trying a classic flavor first, then getting adventurous on your next visit.“

“I love Culvers burgers and their fries, eat there for lunch once a week. it was cold out today and I thought a bowl of chili would be good. Ordered the chili supreme, paid for extra onions, cheese and sour creme, no sour creme on the tray, they told me they were out of it. you could have let me know before hand, I would have skipped that part of the order. $10.54 for a little bowl of chili, hardly any meat in it, fries and a drink, what a disappointing meal.“
