I love love this paleteria! It's my go to place every time I go down to California, it has become tradition. The staff are always so friendly and helpful. The ice cream, paletas, esquite, and tostilocos are the best! My favorite combo Ferrero Rocher and aroz con leche ice cream with an agua de horchata. Just makes my mouth water I've tried other places closer to home but they just don't do it like this paleteria. Service is amazing, place is so clean, with so many choices that it's hard not to hit that sweet spot just right!

I really coming here, close to home and the people are amazing. Today my experience was not good, new guy, wearing a black hat turn backwards, darker skin, he seemed like he didn't care, didn't even a good bionico. I will still come back cause the other people are great but this guy just wasn't good

Came on a Friday afternoon and they were quite busy, however the line moved fast! They have an immense variety of ice creams, paletas, and other snacks to choose from. I love that their menu has pictures considering maybe not everyone is familiar with these foods. My friend and I ordered the hot Cheetos with nacho cheese and jalapeños. Let me tell you they are NOT stingy with the cheese and each chip was deliciously coated in the cheesy goodness. We also ordered pepinos locos. Now these are quite a concoction! The cucumbers are fresh and crunchy with a mouth watering chamoy and chili rim and topped with sweet mango, refreshing jicama and tangy tamarindo candy bits. On the side there was cueritos and Japanese peanuts. All of this drizzled with chamoy and Tajín. It's was sooo good yet a little messy to eat but very very worth it!

Thanks Diana for the wonderful yummy recommendations! I had the Duros and crepes! It was delicious. It really hit the spot. Felt like I was a kid again when the Elote man would pass by my home and I would buy Duros. Can't wait to come back and try something else.

Good service, great ice cream, good prices, store was fully stocked and clean and the store was PACKED! The sign of a popular business especially with this current heat wave we are all experiencing here in So Cal
