Raspados Loly’s

Unfortunately, they’d rather give you a knock off version of «raspados» and give you crushed ice instead of actual shaved ice.
In fact, he refused to do so even after we asked nicely for the true version that used to make raspado lolys so great. So sad to see the customer service here go down the drain, don’t know if I’ll be back.

The raspado relleno is heaven in a cup. That is if you don’t die from diabetis. I’m not someone with much of a sweet tooth; however, if you want a dessert that is epic in every way, this is the place to indulge.

I was upset with my Nicaraguan friends for not informing me about this place sooner! The perfect dessert!

The reason for my review is not for the quality of the «raspados», but for the poor quality of customer service and the lack of respect for a paying customer.
First of all, there is a credit card minimum of $ 10.00, yes, TEN DOLLARS, if the products they sell average $ 5, why put a minimum? when it is against the credit card companies policy to have a minimum, so what happens if you just want to buy a $ 5 raspado? well, they will impose a $ 1 penalty fee for using your credit card because you are such an inconvenience for them and they need to get somehow the 2.5% back that the merchant account charges them for using a credit card. Ridiculous, ludicrous or simply robbing you? That is complain number one. So 2 stars down for that. YOU NEED TO UPDATE YOUR POLICY BRENDA GUATEMALA (The owner).
Now for the second complain: i bought 4 large size raspados, that’s $ 24, the girl try to put all 4 cups into a mid-​size paper bag, when i asked her to put them on 2 separate bags she had the audacity to tell me that she had to charge me for the second bag? i’m WHAT?! i am buying 4 NOT 1, FOUR LARGE RASPADOS for crying out loud, and i am taking them home in my car, why should i pay for an extra bag to have them packed? after complaining about it and threatening to cancel the whole order (mind you the raspados were already made and ready to go), the girl comes out with a 4-​drink tray (McDonald’s style), so my question is: why did she have to force me to complain and go through the whole hassle to demand this tray, are these trays only for a special occasion or secret customers that we don’t know about? like seriously, what type of poor customer service is this? Once again BRENDA GUATEMALA, you need to UPDATE YOUR TRAINING and provide better service, since you are making a dollar extra for credit card paying customers, well let me rephrase that: BRENDA GUATEMALA YOU ARE STEALING MONEY FROM PAYING CUSTOMERS FOR USING THEIR CREDIT CARDS, why charge for packing supplies on top of that? not only its wrong but its also INSULTING.
Yes you have a top notch product, but don’t forget that customer service comes before anything else, do not lose customers and let us post this type of poor reviews for stupid stuff that could’ve easily been fixed and wouldn’t have cost you a dime.
I am Nicaraguan, and i am ASHAMED that my people when it comes to the restaurant and service business are the worst, they are cheap and will not provide good service. Please learn from the service that LA PULPERIA and EL MADROÑO provide, they are the exception to the rule, top notch service.
So this message is exclusively to the owner of Raspado’s Lolys BRENDA GUATEMALA, it is time to update those cheap policies and put your customers before the price of a paper bag or credit card fees. Hence my 2 stars, next time i go i will document my experience and based on what happens i will decide whether you have deserved more stars or i will just call the credit card companies and place a complain and let them know what you’re doing, which in a way it is also ilegal. And i hope you read this, or anyone close to you so you can be aware of the situation. This happened Saturday Oct. 17^th at 8:50pm.

Raspados is great but keeps getting pricier every visit. The owners are extremely rude to say the least. Apparently, they are too busy to greet their customers except with a nod or a look that’s supposed to mean «go ahead with your order». Anyway, they no longer shave the ice completely! Half the raspado is frozen hard ice from a machine and when you get past half your cup it’s too hard to eat. When I told the woman behind the counter that I wanted shaved ice for the entire raspado and not ice from a machine she said she was tired!!! Just wow. Disappointed customer.

This place used to be the first place I’d go on my trips to miami. Unfortunately they have started using a machine to do half the shaved ice now which gives you clumps of ice or quick melting ice.
If they stop using the machine and shave all the ice by hand like they used to this will go back to being a 5 star location. If you go here insist they shave all the ice by hand that is what makes the respado good and the reason for so many great reviews before.
The flavors of are all delicious

Los raspados mas horribles del planeta y carisimos… Medi uno de tamarindo eso fue puro azucar quemado con hielo Y dos «pepas» de tamarindo… Que perdida de dinero… HORRIBLE lo bote a la basura de lo malo que estaba…

The «relleno» is so so delish, I live about 45 minuts away from this place but I don’t mind the long drive just because this is so delicious!!!

Raspado relleno es una delicia. Pero no cuenten las calorías porque eso tiene unas cuantas.

Delicious Raspados, I haven’t had these since I was in Managua visiting my aunts and uncles, delicious. Well Worth it.

I tried their dulce de leche raspado… too sweet and nothing special. Not planning on going back any time soon.

I had the relleno and if you are a dulce de leche lover this will definitely be one place you wouldn’t want to miss. Will definitely return and I highly recommend them!

Very authentic according to my Nicaraguan friends.
This place is unique for their raspado relleno.

Its not bad, but I don’t get it. Maybe its a «I was raised on this kind of stuff» nostalgia piece that I’m missing. I got the Strawberry and my friends got the full on Relleno with dulce de leche and poundcake. I was cool with both but I wouldn’t travel out of my way to get this. If my friends wanted to do I’d be fine going again.
Short Story Shorter: If you ate this stuff growing up you’ll love it, if not, get some shaved ice and jam and call it a day.

The raspado relleno is to die for… And that could be literal. After consuming it you may die of a sugar overdose.
The raspado relleno was featured in Andrew Zimmern which is how i got to trying it. It is a snow cone but not your usual snow cone; a snow cone with a twist. It was shaved ice, which they shave in front of you from a huge block of ice; pound cake and dulce de leche– a Latino caramel. It was amazing.
When you get it, it is topped with so much dulce de leche that it is all you see. You dig deeper and you get the shaved ice. So the first 10 bites or so is shaved ice with dulce de leche. Eventually you hit the mother load: pound cake! Pound cake with dulce de leche and shaved ice. You eat that and then you start to notice that all the dulce de leche is gone and all you see is shaved ice. It feels so disappointing that this epic foodie adventure is over but wait! You dig a little deeper with your spoon and realize there is a happy ending! Things can’t get any better. You finish with more pound cake and more dulce de leche.
It’s a must try experience!

What would you think if I told you shaved ice can also be combined with puns cake and dulce de leche?! Crazy? Genius!
Had a very different treat here and really enjoy the whole experience. Greeted by the owner and treated as family, this was a first for this Venezuelan foodie.
The «Raspado» as we know it in Venezuela, consists of shaved ice (done by a machine now a days) flavored with various fruit syrups and then topped sometimes with sweet condensed milk.
Another story here at Raspados Loly’s! A Nicaraguan establishment with more than 10 years here in miami.
Had to try the classic one that consist of:
— 1 layer of diced pound cake (yes vanilla classic pound cake)
— 1 Layer of dulce de leche (one of the best I’ve had here)
— 1 Layer of diced of pound cake (again)
— 1 Layer of dulce de leche (yes again)
— shaved ice (shaved by hand as ordered)
— and finally the last layer of dulce de leche
OMG!!! And I thought I liked super sweet stuff! This is crazy sweet but crazy enough to be super interesting and good!
No wonder Travel Channel «Bizarre foods» show was here a couple of years ago!

I love raspados Lolys, but today I went and ordered what I usually do: pineapple and dulce de leche. I was really disappointed, they cut the pineapple by big chunks, that way the flavor doesn’t spread all over the shaving ice, and the dulce de leche wasn’t as good as always either. What a shame

After months of attempting to try the famous Relleno, today was the d-​day.
We arrived and were corteusly greeted by the gent in charge. Knowing what we would have, we ordered two rellenos and glanced at the menu while ice was shaved, placed into a cup sauced with dulce the leche. Then some pound cake (bizcocho) pieces went in, topped with more shaved ice, and final smother of dulce de leche.
My suggestion to eat it: grab the spoon and stir until everything blends. This will make the thick DdL loosen up and blend with the ice and pound cake. Once this occurs, dig in and enjoy.

You can’t go wrong with Raspados Loly. Very nice guy who takes his time to make you the best raspados in Miami! We had the dulce de leche with yellow cheeries! I was glad I made a stop here during my short trip to Miami.

If you want a dessert that is simply breathtaking and memorable than try a raspado loly, relleno de dulce de leche. I’ve been coming here since I was little & the raspados are consistently delicious. There is nothing like them anywhere else. It’s amazing. Remember the relleno de dulce de leche is the best. It has dulce and some pound cake in it with shaved ice… simply delicious!!! One of my favorite desserts.

This Nicaraguan place is a little hole in the wall in an old little strip plaza but who cares you’re here for the shaved ice with dulce de leche and pound cake they call a «relleno» right?!? I came here after seeing it on the Miami episode of Andrew Zimmern on Travel Channel and it’s just as good as he said it was! I’d much rather spend close to $ 5 here on a large than the same for some Starbucks iced mocha whatever and it’s something you don’t really see just anywhere else, at least I never have which is funny cus it’s a fairly simple dessert but totally worth it. They sell some other sweets but I always walk in and out with nothing but the relleno on my mind.
PS. I haven’t tried it yet but the food at the Nicaraguan place next doors looks pretty good too.

Wow Where have you been these 14 years in Miami!
Its shaved ice with pound cake and Dulce De leche! What is there not to Like!
This mom and pop store has been open and in the same spot for over 25 years.
Small store located in a small strip mall on Flagler. Surround by Nicaraguan restaurants and meat markets.
They offer several flavors of shaved ice but I prefer the one with Dulce De leche and pound cake! Its Da Bomb!
They start off with pound cake then Dulce de leche and then shaved ice. They repeat this step 2 times then they top off the shaved ice with a Good helping of Dulce de Leche! What is there not to like!

ok first of all you need to have a taste of these delicious raspados and ice cream desserts they are delicious especially dulce de leche ummm esta pero delicioso this is way better than ice cream trucks. it well worth it not a dollar but its so good that u will want more and more till u full. They all sorts of ice cream and deserts and i say that if u love raspados u a candy lover haha. the only reason that i give it 4 stars and not 5 is because the place looks super old their is no ice cream music to go with ur flavor and ur enjoyment of ice cream. so if u up for an icream cone or raspado, snow cones and more than this is the place for you.

Mui dulce. Too much dulce de leche.
