Mamita’s Ices

They sell Mamita’s in my local grocery store. Have only gotten the Tamarind/​tamarindo so far and it was excellent. Not super sweet. Thought he packaging is a bit difficult.

Maybe I’m being presumptuous because I only had one flavor (batata) but these ice pops r seriously good. Being from the Midwest I had never seen them and I stumbled on them at a quick mart and I’m hooked. The batata flavor is like good homemade vanilla ice cream or a better yet frozen condensed milk. The texture is a combo of icy & creamy at the same time. I recently found some of the other Flavors and will be trying them ASAP.

These Ices are surprisingly good given the crappy sleeve packaging.
They had them once (but no longer) in a box of multiples in the freezer aile of my local supermarket. I was able to try the batata cream, guava, mango, and coconut flavors. My favorite, the batata, tastes so creamy with notes of dulce de leche and vanilla. The guava, my second favorite, tastes exactly like guava only caramelized in sugar syrup. I wish they had sapote «mamey». One serious complaint is their marketing of their brand as all natural products when some of their ices contain artificial flavors and dyes.

I’m currently eating a mango cream flavored one right now… Clearly I was inspired to write an awesome review. Mamita’s Ices are NOT your typical flavored ice pops that kids are in love with. These are creamy, healthy, REAL INGREDIENT ice cream that is frozen into a pop shape (and they are wayyy bigger than typical pops, but believe me you’ll be tempted to finish it all)… I love it! The mango cream is the second flavor I’ve tried, and the coconut was the first. You can literally taste the fruit in the ice. It’s fulfilling, cold, and delicious. My goal is to try every flavor which isn’t hard– they’re pretty much in every bodega and supermarket in inner-​city neighborhoods. I’m disappointed I didn’t try them sooner!

We found these at the deli tonight… we’ve never heard of them before. We were so glad we found them!
We tried the passion and the raspberry cream flavors. The ice was flavorful and creamy. It tasted SO good. The ices are quite big also… no puny portion here!
I can’t wait to try other flavors. Our bodega doesn’t have all the flavors listed but whatever they do have, I’m gonna try!

Hands down the best ices money can buy. Its available in most delis and corner stores in queens and Brooklyn. The flavors range from tamarind and coconut to more exotic things like batata which I think is sweet potato.
Family owned and operated its very authentic and extremely tasty.

It’s official, I’m hopped.

These ices are Puerto Rico flavors in a pouch. Mango, tamarindo and coconut are my faves.

I’ve lost count of how many people I’ve gotten hooked on these ices. It feels like just yesterday when I had to skim bodegas to find them, and now they’re EVERYWHERE! The coconut cream flavor will always be my favorite, although the other flavors are quite yummy too.

For the past few years I’ve noticed a growing trend in Washington Heights in the summer: Denizens walking around looking sated, cooled and refreshed on humid summer days. How could they be so happy and contended despite a pronounced smell of urine and «1» train delays? Men and women, young and old, presenting a cacophony of «Aahh“s while they all sucked at curious over sized cylinders wrapped daintily in a deli napkin. «What were those cylinders?», I would ask myself over and over again, weeping, as my sweat and tears pooled in my boots.
Then, one particularly unbearable day, I noticed the sound of children laughing and music playing from the freezer of my local bodega. When I opened the door, my jaw dropped and my face went aghast. Children were playing with a radio in the freezer of a bodega. After I collected myself after seeing the sight, I noticed a box of white cylinders, resting gingerly in a cardboard box. Smiling at me. These were the very frozen monoliths those happy denizens must have been eating…
Curious, I picked up one of these frozen anomalies. How strange and alien. I rushed to a hardware store to buy a large pair of shears and quickly opened the top of the treat. I began to eat it.
The silky smoothness of the coconut cream treat stopped time. It was the perfect combination of silky, creamy, sweet and cold. My gasps of glee were met with awkward glances in the hardware store, but I didn’t care. I was hooked. And I was happy.
I only pray you have the faculties to obtain these treats. Go from store to store until you find these. You will not be disappointed.

i love batata one, it’s just awesome. i eat like 3 times a day, mmmm…

It’s my last night here in Williamsburg, and I needed milk. I went to a bodega down the street to buy some, and saw these multicoloured freezer pops, and my curiosity got the best of me, and I bought a few. I even tried the Batata flavour, thinking (as Talia S. above me) that it would be horrible. But I actually REALLY enjoyed all of the flavours. I’m definitely buying these again, recommending them to friends… I might buy some for my movers, tomorrow! Haha.

It’s officially springtime. and with it I woke up from a drunken night to find this coconut icy pop in my freezer (from a late night trip to bodega — on the corner of Eldridge St and Broome– on my way home). My friend Eric insisted we buy some… The coconut cream pop is AMAZINGLY good! And, according to their website, lowfat! Delicious creamy, sweet coconut ice. look for it at a bodega near you.
