Daily Shavies at Burrito Express

There are some daily rituals that only apply to certain seasons. This Summer, why not add daily Shavies to your Summer ritual?

Starting June 1, Burrito Express will be selling its cool concoctions everyday, so there’s no need to wait for Friday or Saturday to get your dose of Shavies.

The month of May saw the annual return of Shavies, though it was only offered during Fridays 5:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. and Saturdays from 12:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m.

This June til the end of Summer, however, Shavies will be a daily delight from 5:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. on weekdays, and from 12:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. on Saturdays.

For those not yet enlightened by the miracle of Shavies, Burrito Express owner Wil Orozco explains, “Well, we take a block of ice and shave it to a soft snow consistency that just melts in your mouth,” says Orozco.

“There’s ice cream at the bottom and we have 23 syrup flavors to pour onto the ice. Top it off with one of our toppings and you have an amazing treat,” he adds.

Shavies come in 23 flavors, “three of which are sugar-free” says Orozco.

But unlike some other flavored shaved ice vendors, “what we do is we put ice cream at the bottom of the shaved ice. We put that at the bottom of the cup and then shaved ice on top and then we put the flavored syrup on the ice itself,” says Orozco.

There are four ice cream flavors available – coconut pineapple, vanilla, strawberry and chocolate – and together with the 23 flavors of syrup, the flavor possibilities are endless.

Customers can then choose to top it all off with sour powder or sweetened condensed milk.

If mixing and matching is not your thing, Burrito Express also has set Shavie flavors such as Nani’s Revenge and Root Beer Float for your convenience.
