Recently, one of my co-workers asked me if I had ever eaten Mexican elote. Elote, which directly translates to corn on the cob, is corn on the cob that has been roasted or grilled and then slathered in a delicious combination of butter, mayonnaise, queso fresco (a crumbly Mexican cheese), and ground chili powder or cayenne pepper to taste. I couldn't help to finish his question with my reply, "YES! Yes, I have, duh!" A popular street food, I love it! One of my favorite street foods to be honest. After leaving work, I had to stop and get one. Definitely not the best healthy snack but definitely a tasty snack that will fill you up. This place does it right! Environment is clean. Staff is friendly. Parking is easy. read more

I would usually give this place a 5 because there is a sweet Hispanic lady Patricia who is kind and always makes my order to perfection. And I went in this afternoon for a 4 scoop mangoneada- the lady assisting me was giving mediocre scoops and gave me the saddest looking Mangoneada I've ever had from this location. I paid $12.50 for a Grande Mangoneada and I didn't tip because of the end product I received. As I was walking out she had the nerve to tell her coworker "No Tip" in ear shot of me. It was rude and left a bad taste in my mouth for a location I really like. I'll only go now when I see Patricia working- and avoid this place when this lady is there. read more

My child accidentally dropped an ice creamer in the shop today and the customer service person refused to replace it. Last time at this place and will recommend my highland HOA friends to never come here again read more

I love my Mexican-style popsicles, especially the creamy kind. This place has a huge selection and nails the strawberry cream ones 100%. Tried their coconut ice cream and they've got that perfected, too! However - two negatives, one more easily addressed than the other. First, no visible prices anywhere. I deeply dislike making a "mystery order," with the mystery being the price. In fact I'll often not buy things rather than have to ask, especially when nothing is priced. It's one thing if an item is accidentally not marked, yet another when nothing is. Secondly, no matter how good, they're vastly overpriced. There are numerous places I could name - not specific ice cream places - where you can buy great quality for easily 60% of their cost. Lower the prices and they might triple their sales. For flavor and quality they're a "10!" read more

Super nice women working tonight. They were patient as my husband and I tried a couple of flavors before making our decision what to order. We both ordered double scoops. They even explained the difference between the ice creams and the water and ice based frozen treats. A man came in and ordered the corn and it sure smelled good. We'll have to try it another time. Very good flavors and so refreshing on a warm night. It's really worth a visit. read more

I really like this place, paletas are really good and the place is nice and clean, my fav are the nut one and the Doritos with nacho cheese and corn, it was amazing, next time I'll try the churros rellenos :) read more

Always super clean & friendly staff. Everything is always very delicious and fresh! I live 20 minutes away and always make the drive to this location because of the great service. read more

My absolute favorite ice cream and snack place! They are so generous with the servings. My boyfriend and I have a running joke of craving their ice cream RIGHT before they're about to close, and our fav girl Samantha even jokes with us that she checks the parking lot for our car around 8:50pm to see if she'll need to turn on the oil for us (to make some DELICIOUS churros). I love coming here! The customer service is the best and they make the yummiest treats (some of my favorite ice cream flavors are Ferrero, Mazapan, and Gansito). read more

Francisco and daisy where nice and friendly. Made me a real good smoothie also I love the ice cream here. read more

Stopped in the other day to grab a mangonada and an ice cream bar, and the flavors of the ice cream and fresh mangos were amazing, ice cream is super soft and creamy, definitely a first choice when craving a mangonada read more

I wanted to fulfill an ice cream craving so I came here wanting to get a milk-based ice cream. Like most Michoacana ice cream place (which I really feel like is taking over SoCal's dessert game), they offer ice cream (milk and juice based), paletas (popsicles), and Mexicans snacks like nachos and tostilocos. The shop is very clean and colorful, with a good number of tables to enjoy your sweet and/ savory treats. I wanted to sample some ice creams, so I started with the milk based ones such as snickers, coffee, and the mazapan. As I sampled, you can tell that the lady helping me seemed impatient, so I went ahead and ordered two scoops of the Snickers and the Nescafe ice cream. The amount you get is very big, and the price is very good. However, the ice cream was WAY too sweet and too rich. I did not finish it. I should have went ahead and got my usual fruit-based ice cream and paletas. Overall, I had an okay experience. I wasn't a fan of the customer service nor the ice cream, but I would try it again for a fruit based frozen treat. read more

This ice cream joint is pretty good. The ice cream feels creamier than regular ice cream. The flavors do taste a little different then regular ice cream but not in a bad way. They have a lot of flavor options. And not just ice cream. There's fruit and chips and elote treats. The prices are decent and the customer service is always great. It's kept clean. Nothing has stood out to be my fav so far so I try something different each time. read more

They have a one scoop deal for kids, but it is a LOT of ice cream. Its really good and finally one close to home!

The ice cream is delicious , not the best depending on what flavor you get but it's good, the elote here is amazing ! But depending on who makes it for you it could have too much chili powder as well as an excess amount of cheese. I came in for ice creams and elote with some friends and our experiences was decent but I felt as if the young teen girls had a slight attitude . Not rude just felt as if they didn't even wanna be there at all nor cared to service us . read more

i highly recommend this place! My husband and I used to take our son to Baskin Robins, but since this pace came around, we don't go there anymore. This place is much better than any other place in town! It beats La Michoacana BY FAR. I tried the Elote in a cup and the Cheese and Cheetos for the first time here, so good! And I'm excited to try more of the Mexican goodies they have available, but i can only eat so much lol The staff is super friendly, which is a huge plus. The ice creams are true to their flavors/names. My husband got Abuelita's Hot Chocolate ice cream with an extra scoop of the Masa Pan ice cream. It was heavenly. I got coconut and my son got bubble gum. They all had a true flavor to their names. We also got some popsicles to go which i am excited to try later. I highly recommend this place. Give it a try, you won't be disappointed. read more

I'm so glad they opened this place so close to home. Going out for ice cream can be a little more expensive but I'm happy to support Mom and Pop shops! They have great flavors, Abuelita is our favorite!! read more

At least once a week now my wife picks up bionicos. Absolutely loves it. She prefers it without any melon so they just add more of the other fruit. Creamy, sweet and delicious read more

It's always a hit or miss with our elotes. One lady knows exactly how we like it, there's another who puts way too much butter (like today), and one that doesn't put quite enough. Going to just walk in when we see the lady who does it the best!! read more

I've been wanting to try this place for a while and a recent rainy night seemed like the perfect time! We sampled the snickers and limon and they were both delicious! I got a 2 scoop agua de fresa/limón and my husband got limón/piña. The limón was super tart and so refreshing. The piña was literally like biting into a pineapple! The fresa was super fresh! We also went home with 6 paletas because, really, how could we not? We got piña, limón, jamaica, tamarindo, chocolate, and uva. I had jamaica tonight and it was super refreshing, my hubby had the piña and it was amazing! Definitely going back to get more! read more

This place is great! Totally happy and satisfied with the snacks we had. (Dorilocos & Large Corn Cup with Hot Cheetos- YUMM!) The wonderfully sweet and awesome girl that helped us could use some help as right after we entered an empty establishment customers began to pour in, poor girl! Customers shouldn't have to wait so long..anyhow food and ice cream is worth the visit. So Owners, please add an extra person behind the counter!! Other than that this place is awesome! read more

This is basically my favorite place to go! I love all of the ice creams i get and the corn in the cup is perfection. I always try and get my husband to go and I've never left here unhappy. I need to try a fruit cup next. If you haven't been then you're missing out of a delicious treat! read more

Mmmm.!! Mmuuuuy rrica. The ice cream was literally overflowing from the cone. The flavor of the cheesecake and fresas is so sugary, as in mexi-cane sugar. It is a softer, sweeter ice cream, not as hard and ice like as other traditional American style, correcto? Definitely something to savor, sabor authentico y riquisima. read more

I'm a new to this style of ice cream so I can't compare it to other Mexican ice cream stores. That being said I really enjoyed everything we tried. I first had the Mangolanada(sp) and it was really good. Got the medium and it was really a lot to eat. My wife had a couple of scoops of ice one being pistachio. She said she would rather of had Baskins and Robbins. The popsicle selection is huge. I have always liked Mexican popsicles and thought these were great. The people behind the counter were so nice and willing to take the time to educate us on all they have offer. Highly recommend this establishment. read more

Staff is awesome always friendly and helpful , love that they have Splenda Option for some of the popsicles and good food options.

I've been here about 4 times now since I moved to highland and my first 2 visits have been good but my last 2 visits one being today around 7:40pm have been not adequate. The food was good of course but the girl taking down orders was just rude and seemed to be in a hurry to hide away in the back. I don't know what happened to the last ones that were very nice. This girl kept rushing us to order and was rude when I asked for no ice on my aqua fresca. I still got ice in it but I didn't want to hear her make more comments so I left it as it is. Ill probably just go to the other michoacanas. read more

The ice cream here is good (mexican style) and there is a lot of choices but they never have enough help. The service has really taken a hit in a such a short time. I took my family on Sunday around 830 pm and the worker was rushing us out!! I asked her what the rush was and she rudely said, " we close at 9pm". According to my watch, we still had 30 mins. I will try this place again but if the rude service continues or they don't staff their store properly, I will take my $ elsewhere. BTW when I called to talk to the manager or owner, the worker said they are never there. read more

Always receive great service and great tasting aguas frescas, palletas, elote and churros.

Love the chia lemonade here! Miriam was great super polite and accurate with our order.
