Rafael Alvarez, Nom Noms Mexican Grill & Chill co-owner, said business is thriving in McKinney, and last year restaurant has surpassed its expected earnings by more than 60 percent. Nom Noms Mexican Grill & Chill has also sold its ice cream to a few other local restaurants as well, Alvarez said he is focusing efforts to sell his ice cream to local grocers and expand the catering side of his business, which began in summer 2015 and has continued to increase popularity.

Alvarez said he started the restaurant with a few traditional, and sometimes unusual, flavors of Mexican ice cream such as sweet potato and corn.

His business has grown, and with the opening of the McKinney store in June 2014, Nom Noms Mexican Grill & Chill now offers hot food and an expanded menu of homemade sorbets, sherbets and ice creams.

The family started selling food offerings to keep business strong through the winter months when cold treats are not as popular, Alvarez said. Customers can order burritos, salads and nachos in five different meat and vegetarian options among other items on the menu.
