ALEBRIJE NEVERIA TREAT YOURSELF Since 2018, Phoenix’s family-owned and -operated Alebrije Neveria has been putting a unique spin on traditional Mexican raspados. These shaved ice desserts are sweetened with condensed milk, syrups, and/or ice cream, and then topped with your choice of fresh fruit, spices, and other ingredients. They’re often giant, and perhaps more of a meal than a snack. They can be made super sweet, hearty and savory, spicy, or even a combination of these flavors. However, at Alebrije Neveria, you’ll find flavor combinations you won’t find anywhere else, and you can turn these unique creations into milkshakes, blended drinks, and other delectable treats. One of the most popular items is the Cookie Monster Milkshake, a blue milkshake made with Oreo and chocolate chip cookies. During the summer months, regulars love the Mangoton—a mango slushy with Mexican chamoy sauce and Tajín chili-lime seasoning, all topped with Japanese-style peanuts, tamarind candy, and fresh mango slices. Alebrije Neveria also serves elote! Try the Flamin’ Hot Cheetos elote bowl, with cooked corn kernels topped with mayonnaise, butter, Cotija cheese, and crushed crunchy Flamin’ Hot Cheetos. Bowls can also be made with Takis Fuego, Doritos, and other chip choices. Because the menu is so fruit-driven, vegetarians and vegans love raspados as a sweet treat option over a traditional ice cream shop. Winner of Best Raspados from The Phoenix New Times, Alebrije Neveria was designed with photo sharing in mind. The interior is bright, chic, and Instagram-friendly. So get that phone out before your raspado melts! They are located at 19th Avenue and Peoria, and are open daily from noon to 8pm. 10171 N. 19TH AVE., PHOENIX ALEBRIJEPHX.COM | 602.577.0036 EAT 2022 | PHOENIX NEW TIMES | MAY 19TH - MAY 25TH 11
