Some places just take you right back to your childhood… 🇲🇽❤️
And Raspado Xpress in Pacoima is one of those places for me.
I remember getting out of school in Mexico and wanting to grab a snack before my parents picked me up to go home and do homework.
Those little moments might not have seemed like much back then, but man… they’re some of the memories I cherish the most.
And now, being able to bring my own kids somewhere that reminds me of those days is pretty special.
That’s exactly how I feel every time we stop by Raspado Xpress.
If you’ve never been, here’s what you need to know…
✅ Raspados – I like to call them the Mexican ICEE 😂 but the big difference is the delicious natural fruit flavors. If you grew up eating these, you already know!
✅ Esquites – Mexican street corn in a cup. One of those snacks that always hits the spot.
✅ Nachos with cheese – Because sometimes that’s exactly what you’re craving!
✅ Crepes, coffee & so much more – Seriously, there’s something for everyone in the family.
But what I love most isn’t just the food.
It’s being able to share a little piece of my childhood with my kids.
And that’s something I really appreciate about living here in the San Fernando Valley.
We have so many amazing small businesses that bring our culture, traditions, and childhood memories to life.
And the people behind them make these places even better.
If you’re ever in Pacoima, stop by and ask for my friends Oscar and Blanca. They’ll definitely take good care of you!
