What could be more satisfying on a hot summer day than a good old-fashioned icey-cold snow cone? Even a Popsicle doesn’t come close to satisfying our parched palates. And it isn’t a snow cone unless the ice is shaved, giving it a snow-like texture. That’s where Manuel Hernandez comes in. His MC’s Snow Cones are perfection. The small, cash-only hut off Highway 183 in Irving serves 30 flavors, ranging from simple cherry and grape to tiger’s blood and amaretto. Want to beat the heat with a real treat? Order the Knock Out: vanilla ice cream topped with the shaved ice of your choice. We take no responsibility for brain freeze. 1103 W. Airport Fwy., Irving. 972-252-9914.
