About Arctic MotMot Shaved Ice

The name MotMot honors El Salvador’s national bird, celebrating our heritage while adding our own unique twist. In El Salvador, shaved ice—known as minutas—is a beloved treat that brings families and communities together. Arctic MotMot pays tribute to those roots while creating a one-of-a-kind experience that’s uniquely ours. Just like the colorful MotMot bird, we hope every cup brings a little joy, comfort and great experience to help cool off from the Houston heat! At Arctic MotMot, we believe shaved ice should be anything but ordinary. That’s why we use industry leading equipment and filtered water to create an incredibly soft, snow like texture that melts effortlessly in your mouth. Every flavor is handcrafted in-house using premium concentrates and 100% pure cane sugar no high-fructose corn syrups are gluten free. Our tropical-inspired creations, every cup is thoughtfully crafted and finished with premium toppings. The result is bold, refreshing flavor in every bite. Whether you’re cooling off on a hot day, celebrating a special occasion, or making sweet memories with family and friends, we’re proud to serve a premium shaved ice experience that’s made with heart, inspired by tradition, and enjoyed by everyone. Book us for your next event! We are available to cater in Houston and surrounding areas

When to Book

Recommended lead time
15–30 days before your event

That said, shorter timelines work too—we book events just days out all the time. You'll just have fewer options to choose from.

Busy seasons: Spring and Fall are our most popular times in Houston, so booking early gives you the best selection.
