Nestled in Yuma, Raspados Pinguino at 2101 W 8th St offers a vibrant and flavor-packed menu that blends traditional Mexican treats with refreshing delights. Their specialty lies in raspados, finely shaved ice drenched in rich, homemade syrups like mango, tamarind, and chamoy, delivering an explosion of sweet, tangy, and spicy flavors.
For those craving a heartier bite, their elote preparado is a must-try, featuring grilled corn slathered in mayo, cheese, and chili powder, offering the perfect mix of creamy, smoky, and spicy. The tostilocos are another standout, combining tortilla chips with cueritos, peanuts, jicama, and drizzled in a zesty chamoy sauce, creating a crunchy, tangy, and addictively bold snack.
When it comes to indulgence, their banana split is a crowd-pleaser, featuring fresh bananas, velvety ice cream, chocolate syrup, and a generous topping of whipped cream. If you're in the mood for something fruitier, the bionicos deliver a refreshing mix of chopped fruits, drizzled with crema, granola, and coconut for a creamy yet wholesome treat.
Their aguas frescas selection is another highlight, offering vibrant, house-made drinks in flavors like horchata, Jamaica, and piña that perfectly complement the bold flavors of their snacks. The chamoyadas, a frozen mango slush mixed with chamoy and Tajín, provide the ideal balance of sweet and spicy, perfect for cooling off in the desert heat.
For a more filling option, the hot Cheetos nachos take a unique twist, layering the fiery chips with melted cheese and jalapeños for a crunchy, cheesy delight. Meanwhile, their esquites, a cup of warm, buttery corn mixed with cheese, lime, and chili powder, make for a perfect on-the-go snack.
