Pick from a tempting array of flavors, many with a creative twist. Standouts include Tequila Almond and other spirited options, alongside timeless favorites. View the tubs, grab a sample, then enjoy your choice in a cone or cup.


Paletas


These refreshing popsicles burst with authentic Mexican flair. Go classic with strawberry or coconut, or try something adventurous like butter, bubblegum, or fruit-forward picks such as maracuya, nance, mamey, or tamarindo.

Multiple outposts make it easy to stop by, but the main location in El Centro on Blvd. Melchor Ocampo offers the biggest selection and most spacious setup. Smaller spots deliver the same great flavors when you’re on the go.
