This was a great little find. It was open on Christmas Eve so their selection was a bit limited. The food we got was delicious and the staff was very friendly.

Wow! This place is amazing! The paletas are some of the best that I have ever had, but they have so much more! The ice cream is very unique, the chocolate covered bananas are huge, and the prices can't be beat!

Fast and friendly service! The frito pie was perfect, and they packed it with everything separate so I could assemble it at home, and it wouldn't get soggy. The fruit drink was the best thing I have had all summer!

Very cool mix of a Mexican ice cream shop that also serves what I can only refer to as Mexican themed carnival snacks. Some amazing-looking nachos, savory snacks and ice cream treats that I've never even heard of before! I highly recommend stopping in after you have dinner across the street at the Western View Steakhouse.
