La Michoacana

Ever since la Michocana opened it is everyone’s favorite Hispanic snack place! Their business is growing so much it’s about time we had a place like this open. I see them everywhere in different town now. They have so much to offer from corn with mayonnaise and cheese (elotes), hot Cheetos with cheese, fruit mixes, mangoneadas, we always come once a month for those snack cravings. My son loves it he call it the i team place because they have a lot of awesome ice creams you wouldn’t think off. I tried the avacado ice cream sounded very weird but I’m open to try things n OMG! It was very good. I always get hot Cheetos with cheese and corn. In summer I get more ice cream. I also live walking distance so in the summer I always go with my little guy.
I will always be a loyal customer to them service is always good can get busy at times but it’s worth it the wait is not forever.

I wanted to try some new ice cream place rather than run of the mill Baskin Robbins and found this place on Unilocal.Not too many reviews but the Unilocal picture of mango ice cream with tamarind looked too good to not try.
Some older reviews said service was not friendly. That’s definitely changed. All three employees where very friendly and patient considering I didn’t know what half of the ice creams were made out of. They let you taste until you find a flavor you like, but everything I tried was awesome. I decided not to change my mind from getting the mango with tamarind sauce (delicious!) but after tasting several samples, I’m definitely coming back to try the others. Next on my list is guava and the black one (they only knew the Spanish name and didn’t know if there was an English translation). Lots of great extras to put in the ice cream too for a Mexican style sundae. Did I mention I’m coming back? :)

By far the best guava and mango ice cream.

I am giving this location 5 stars because I’ve seen the improvement it’s had in the last year! :) I am from Michoacan, Mexico & When I found out that they would have a «Michoacana» near my house. I got extremely EXCITED!
The ice cream is INCREDIBLY good & flavorful. I’ve never had better anywhere else, But their staff… Was never friendly about a year ago. They would never great, & were kind of rude. That is what lead me to go from being a regular, to stop coming for over a year.
I gave it a shot today & as soon as I walked in through the door, two ladies (Shorter & in their 40’s) happily greeted me :) Not going to lie, that’s not what I expected. They conversated with me throughout the whole time I was in there. They even helped me pick & match ice creams.
I got Cajeta, Oreos, Coffe, Walnuts, «pistaches» & a corn on the cup for my mom, grandma and I. Everything was great & delicious. Thanks a lot for a great experience and great ice cream: D I will lucky return again!

Great tasting ice creams. U get to try before buyung. They have many shakes, popsicles, nachos, corn and other great tasting food. Had avocado ice cream, it tasted great. Not too sweet. Small sitting area 16 to 20 chairs with tables, comfy enough.

Yum… must do the mangoneada! Fresh homemade icecreams. Agua frescas and ice cream bars too. If you enjoy cheese and Chile corn and nachos in a bag they have those too. Admit it were all a little mexican on the inside.

Best homemade icecream in town! Fanastic traditional hispanic treats to try amd indulge in. Let me remind you everything is homemade with real fresh indregients, all ice cream and Paletas (popsicles). This place would be appreciated by those who have grown up in or around the city, not for the pretencious suburbanotes. Staff are friendly and respectable, no complaints. Have been here ocer a dozen times in last two years. Prices are great, and beats any basken robins or dairy queen around. Worth trying and supporting

The sprawling suburbs of the second city proved to be overwhelming for someone fresh off the Uhaul. When that profound sense of displacement hits, it’s natural to look for something familiar: La Michoacana everywhere are run by the wonderful folks from the Mexican state of Michoacán, home to many traditional Mexican recipes (thanks for letting me know, Sofia) and I am a huge fan for their paletas (ice pops) – just what a muggy afternoon called for.
Guided by Unilocal and GPS, I drove to one of the nearest La Michoacanas – the sole one-​star review didn’t deter me – only to find a dental office at the address. Somebody had a wicked sense of humor I guess, as La Michoacana is known for its decadent frozen treats. But seeing that the area is dotted with Hispanic businesses, I pressed on, and found it two lots over ( Unilocal originally listed the street number as 2071 not 2103).
I went inside and was greeted by the familiar sight of a variety of paletas as well as ice cream in open chest freezers. A lady came to help me but I soon realized the language barrier was bigger than what I experienced before. I looked up and decided to rely on the list of flavors (in both English and Spanish) though it didn’t seem complete. With my funny pronunciation (hey, I can barely speak English, let alone Spanish), I was able to ask for a few flavors (some new and some familiar), and got a horchata, which, as a Unilocal friend put it, you should always be drinking, to go. She was very kind to show me the coffee and the tamarind side by side so I could tell the color difference. There appeared to be two different prices for the paletas, depending on whether it’s cream based or water based, but the price difference is negligible (a dime a piece I think?).
I finished those paletas in the next few days. Strawberry and cream was fabulous; coffee was good. These are basically ice cream on a stick (a big stick I may add).
I love pineapple but won’t get the pineapple flavor again, because it’s just frozen pineapple pieces and the pineapple was not fully ripened so it was just bland; the tamarind flavor was way too tart for me.
It pains me to give a La Michoacana less than four stars as I am a fan but the flavors of water-​based paletas were quite underwhelming, plus I didn’t see my favorite prune flavor…
