Love this place for a quick, fun treat! I tried the fried Oreos and they came out hot and perfectly crispy! A little sad they no longer have the mini tacos. They were delicious.

I love this place. The energy, the music, the service, and the food!! They have it all!! This is the best fruit stand I've come across. They offer such unique creations of shaved ice, mixed with fruit mix with gummy's mixed with Tajin. They offer every kind of concession stand food one can dream of. I love concession stand food. They make the best mangonada and add anything extra one can dream of. They sell large, juicy pickles, corn in a cup, nachos, banana splits, burgers, hotdogs, etc. and I've probably had most of that stuff. It's just a festive, happy place. It's the best spot on a super hot day to get some thing cool and refreshing. They have tons of picnic tables to just sit down and enjoy with your family while lively music is playing or you can take anything to go. The service is always extremely friendly and I have never been disappointed with anything I've selected. I'll be back there soon.

We love a good Tex-Mex snack! They have a good amount of variety, but I like to come here for the elote, mango, and Hot Cheetos with cheese. Only thing to note is that the wait is a little long.

This was such a cool little place to pull into to get a snack. There was outside seating but it was under a tarp so it provides a lot of shade. The picnic tables were very clean so this added to the outside experience. My kids had the cookies and cream banana split on top of a funnel cake. First of all the funnel cake was the best funnel cake I ever had, so yes I had some, someone had to finish it! It was extremely large. I had a Mango Dilly and it was very good, I would definitely get it again and my wife had a strawberry Mango getti belt nada. We had the cup of corn and chili cheese Fries which was good as well.

I love Tropic Express and try to go there often, or any time I'm on that side of town. I've yet to bite into an overly ripe piece of fruit or a piece of pineapple core and their fruit cups seem to be the perfect size, nicely sprinkled with lime and chile powder throughout the entire cup. You'll find grapes, watermelon, mango, pineapple, and strawberry slices for you to nibble on. My other half likes the mango cup or mango on a stick (too messy) but really anything you get on the menu is going to be delectable, especially if you get the funnel cake banana split or an Oreo cookie shake; omg don't even get me started! Lines tend to get long during summer months but it's definitely worth the wait!
