Next time I go to Brooklyn I’ll look for this guy. In Mexico we call them raspados.

That video didn’t work. Click here to watch it on YouTube.

Ben, how cool! In El Paso we (los Mejicanos) call them Raspas. Non-Hispanics call them snow cones. I love these treats. Have you ever had a Pina Colada Raspa? They’re delicious.

Cool cart! I felt sorry for the other vendor though, she didn’t look happy!

When I had raspados in Mexico that came with fruit in them and everything. They were so good, especially in the middle of august. I’ll have to keep an eye out for this in NYC.
