These frosty delights are now being served regularly! Dive into this guide to discover the best snow cones in Irving. Get ready to chill out and treat your taste buds!
Bodacious Cones
2431 E Shady Grove Rd
At Bodacious Cones, expect a unique snow cone experience topped with sweet treats. Add creams, fruits, cookies, or other blends for a towering delight. This local hotspot boasts a big following and is often touted as one of the best in town. I'm loving their Artisan Snow Cone Creations, like the Almond Joy, made with toasted coconut syrup, Hershey’s chocolate sauce, and a hefty serving of whipped cream. You can even add a scoop of ice cream to your snow cone. Everyone in the family will find something to love here. Facebook | Menu
Sno Motion
115 N Story Rd
Beat the heat and try something uniquely refreshing! Help me welcome the newest snow cone stand to Irving. Located just north of Rock Island, the Sno Motion shaved ice truck offers over 24 shaved ice flavors that can be CBD-infused upon request. Sugar-free options include cherry, grape, and blue coconut. This fun new hut is open Wednesday through Sunday from 2-9 p.m. and accepts cash or credit cards.
Unicorndog
3048 N Belt Line Rd
Enjoy a shaved ice cup with a side of dinner at Unicorndog. Why not? This Korean fast food is so quirky and fun. Unicorndogs fans are always singing their praises. If you haven't tried them yet, head on over! They offer four shaved ice cups: Oreo, wild berry, mango, and Unicorn Latte with Honeycomb crunch. Which one will you try first? Facebook | Menu
Pika Rico
2930 W Irving Blvd, Suite 130
Just looking at their menu, I want to try one of everything! The fresas con crema is a favorite at Pika Rico. They also have something called Sandia Loca, which I must try ASAP! Their snow cones come in small, medium, and HUGE sizes, topped with a thicker cream that I love. Fresh juices and flavors are a big draw here. Facebook | Instagram | Menu
Tastee-Ice
1711 N. Story Rd.
Tastee-Ice is another local favorite. People claim their ice is finer and a bit cheaper compared to others. Their Piccadilly and Chamoya toppings attract patrons from other cities. Don't forget to sample their custom-made flavors before you decide. This is a cash-only stand, so come prepared! Facebook | Menu
MC Snow Cones
1103 W Airport Freeway
This parking lot snow cone hut offers dozens of flavors, including sugar-free options. At MC Snow Cones, order small because their servings are HUGE! If you're into super-smooth ice, this is your spot. Don't be deterred by long lines; they move fast with two drive-thru windows and friendly staff. Don't forget your scoop of ice cream on top—they twirl them to look like roses. Facebook | Menu
El Minutero Shaved Ice
3303 W. Rochelle
Each summer, this stop is packed. Fans rave about the friendly staff and unique creations. For example, try "The So Nasty" with coco rayado from El Minutero. It's extra sweet and a definite favorite! You'll want to give it a try when you visit—it's drool-worthy. While you're there, grab a spiralized mango with their yummy seasoning. Instagram
Try them all and report back on your favorites at the end of the season! Don't forget to tag your delicious snow cone pics with #VisitIrving on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram.
Happy summertime, y'all! Make it a good one and may all your snow cone dreams come true.
