La Colmena

The service is pretty slow, but I’ve never had a bad experience with how the food tastes. The employees are not extremely nice, but they aren’t rude either. 3 stars customer service. 5 stars on the food.

I wish I could give them a –10 to this place. Bad service. Its crazy how you ask them to take a second look at your food because it smells kinda funky and they swear its good. The cheese for the corn smelled like it was months past its overdue date. They couldn’t even give me the money back or give me another one. I don’t recommend anyone to come here.

Is this place trash? Does a bear shit in the woods?! Yess it does. Service is slow as hell, just for a damn snowcone

WORST SERVICE EVER
it takes 30 minutes for them to take your order
And another 20 for them to make it.
They hire rude people who obviously don’t want to work there.
The food is mediocre and nothing amazing

I took one sip of the banana milk shake and decided it would be my last because it tasted horrible. They probably use old bananas. The fajita nachos were nothing special. The Raspas are very good though!

The only thing I’ve ordered here are the snow cones.
But they are the most delicious snow cones ever. Seriously. I love this place. I will try there food one of these days. It looks really good.
Also they speak nothing but Spanish, just a FYI.
And sometimes the ladies taking your order can make you feel a bit awkward, there not so friends. But it doesn’t bother me too much cause I’m not either.
But yeah I do recommend this place :)

Amazing food creations, excellent wine pairings. Would recommend Chef’s tasting menu with the wine pairings. Definitely make reservations.

Terrible terrible customer service, and the product is not nearly good enough to ignore the serious lack of decent service. We waited one hour for 2 snow cones!!! The women behind the counter loves sluggishly and were rude and dismissive and were seen standing around talking and joking when there were 20+ people waiting for their food. I will not ever go back and do not recommend anyone else be subjected to such ridiculousness.

Great food but terrible customer service! They don’t know the meaning of politeness. They just look at you with an unfriendly face, take your order, walk away & give you delicious food without acknowleding a thank you. 5 on food
star on service

This is a great place to enjoy lunch or dinner with the kids on a cool sunny day! Great food and snacks for after your meal and it’s very reasonably priced! Definitely recommend!

The wait wasn’t that long. From the outside the place looks pretty clean and well kept. I ordered a mangonada it was good jut a little too much chili out in it for me. It was the slush not the cup like I’m used to.

Great fajita tacos here! Toppings included: grilled onions, I’m not sure what the green sauce is, and cheese.
There is not many taco places with drive throughs

Love the tacos perfect tastes and customer service, defiantly be coming back

Great tortas! I love when they arent greedy with the meats!
The GREATEST and freshest lemonade EVER! Perfect place for the Spring and Summer… but then again its Houston LOL

Their customer service is HORRIBLE. I decided to leave and not order anything after waiting for them to assist me, I was craving a nice cold blue coconut snow cone, but those people saw me standing there and heard me knocking on their window and instead were walking around and eating. THEY LITERALLY IGNORED US. How RUDE! My friend and I waited five minutes because we wanted to see really how long were they going to keep us waiting. NOT GOING BACK.
El servicio está MUY MAL. No les importa que alguien espere mucho tiempo. Hasta se ponen a comer sabiendo que estamos esperando y hasta tocamos la ventanita, yo se que me escucharon pero seguían ignorando. Mi amiga y yo esperamos 5 minutos, y las persona que trabajan allí que eran como unas 3, NINGUNA se molesto para tomar nuestra orden. Nos fuimos impresionadas de que tan mal es el servicio de este lugar. MUY MAL.

(free song parady with review) Like a flower with primary colors, this place drew me in like a bee.
Quick review: Gorditas were very good, and so was fresh lemonade.
Slow review:
The place is a frescaria and a taqueria, with a variety of each. Snowcones must be popular here, judging by the prominence and variety of flavors.
One person services the window in front and the drive-​through, so you may have to wait for someone to show up. And, they do not speak English. So, it helps to know un poco Español (and to point).
I went on the porch, to look at the menu, which is painted on a board that must be 15 feet long, but only a 2 feet high. There I was looking left for what to drink, and looking right for what to eat (that reminds me of a song… see the end).
See picture of the Gorditas, which came as a sandwich with quarter-​inch thick (and somewhat soft), masa buns. This was so very good, and so was the lemonade, although it was a bit too sweet.
A song dedicated to the menu at La Colmena:
Well I don’t know what to order tonight,
I got the feeling that something ain’t right,
I’m so scared I’ll order the wrong thing,
And I’m wondering what’s too fattening,
Juices to the left of me,
Tacos to the right,
Here I am,
Stuck in the middle menu.
Yes I’m stuck on what to order for food,
And no counter help borders on rude,
It’s so hard to pick what might be good,
When the menu board is higher than it should,
Snowcones to the left of me,
Gorditas to the right,
Here I am,
Stuck in the middle menu.
Well you started out with nothing,
And you’re proud that you found this cool place,
But your friends, they’re impatient,
Slap you on the back and say,
Please… Please… ORDER!
Trying to make some sense of it all,
But I can see that it makes no sense at all,
I ordered Gorditas and fresh Lemonade,
I wait five minutes before it is made
Now there’s food to the left of me,
Drink to the right,
Here I am, stuck in the middle of food.
Well you started out hungry,
But you ate your lunch real slow,
But your friends, they all gobbled down,
Slap you on the back and say,
Please… Please… LET’S GO!
Well I don’t know why I came here with them,
They ordered Coke instead of a juice fresca,
I’m so scared lemonade had real sugar,
And I’m wondering about Gordita calories,
Fat on the left of me,
More fat on the right,
Here comes more,
Stuck-​on from the middle menu.
