This place is located in the Hispanic area of Brooklyn. I had a mango chamoyada at Smorgasburg during my last visit to NYC, but the vendor (La Newyorkina) wasn't there this time around. My brother really wanted to try one, so I began my search for a place that sells them in Brooklyn. I came across Nieves Tia Mimi and decided to check it out. They sell a variety of Mexican ice, fruit (with or without lots of chili), and some other Spanish goodies. It's a small stored located on a busy street filled with Spanish businesses.
We ordered a medium mango chamoyada, which consists of mango Mexican ice slushy, chili, and tamarind candy. The combination is deliciously sweet and spicy. Chamoyadas are pretty hard to come across, so I get excited whenever I have the opportunity to indulge in one!
The one issue was price!! One medium chamoyada came out to be a whopping $12! I thought hole in the walls were suppose to be inexpensive
Cash only.
Super friendly staff who are very humble and take pride in what they do. I watched as one of the women crafted our icy drink in a beautiful, fruity and artistic way, while having a smile.
I realized it was cash only after we ordered but luckily there is an ATM inside a bodega closeby.
They have small, medium and large sizes. They do not list their prices in the store but be sure to ask them first. The regular-sized chamoyadas and mangoneadas were between $10-$15. Most of the customers appear to be from the neighborhood and are frequent regulars. There are only about three tables with limited seating, but most of the customers appeared to be in and out.
We finished our icy drinks, ice cream and tamarind straw sticks. I had a temporary brain freeze and craved a hot drink. I saw in the back that they had a coffee maker and perhaps tea.
The back area was also selling Baby Jesus figures which surprised us at first but we got used to it.
Love these one of a kind Mexican drinks!
