Chamango
Jennifer L.

Love getting their chamangos! It's sweet, spicy and hint of sour. They give you a decent portion too. It even comes with a tamarindo straw. It's a perfect dessert if you're craving something sweet and sour.

chamango

I was staying in El Monte and got recommended this gem by my friend who's a local. I knew I had to try it immediately and that's what my boyfriend and I did. Store was small and service was great. My boyfriend got the chamango with mango and pineapple ice cream. This is probably the best chamango I've ever had in my life. It took me back to my childhood where I would always get a chamango with my friends after school. The ice cream was not too sweet and there were also mango chunks at the bottom which were divine. I got the elote in a cup which was really good. It had tons of butter and cheese. I'd love to come back whenever I can but I recommend anyone who's in the area to try this place if they haven't.

Ice cream flavors

Cash preferred to avoid $1 charge on card transactions. I've been coming here for almost a decade and it's still great. I mainly come here for their Chamango, they let you chose as many flavors of sorbet you want. They don't recommend milk based flavors as it will curdle when they squeeze lime over top. If you just want regular scoops of ice cream, they're extremely affordable. $1 per scoop but minimum of 2 scoops.

Mango ice cream

The ice cream is good in my opinion and the people working there are always kind. My family and I always come here after coming from the park or a winning soccer game.

$1 per scoop

What a cool hidden gem/neighborhood spot! I think I stumbled upon this place via TikTok (thank you to the creator for putting me on!). They are so sweet and friendly here! The prices are insanely good - $1 per scoop of ice cream! I got the Mango and Guava with chamoy topping for only $2! I wanna come back to try the other items on their menu, I was a bit intimidated by the menu as a non-Spanish speaker tbh, but I'm sure they'll be happy to give you recommendations!

Medium Mangonada

Located inside a plaza on Garvey Ave, a couple of stores down from Mr. Baguette is a hidden gem. I use to come here after school with my aunt. Our way home, we would always get their mangonada. Glad to see they're still in business after all these years. They charge $1 if you use credit/debit, so being cash if you don't want the charge! Staff were attentive and friendly. When it comes to mangonada, this place probably one of the best! Their ice cream is smooth and it doesn't taste water down compared to other places.

I have been coming to Garcia's since I was in the third grade. I'm now 22 and I'm still going strong. The ice cream is a constant craving for me, I always feel welcome when I go so the service is good, and I just all around love the vibe of the place. Th smell specifically takes me back to when I was a kid. I love this place so much

Chamango

I have been enjoying Garcia's fruits since they started out of the of their truck & years later they still don't disappoint. I love their chamango but even just the nieve by itself is amazing! The line is almost always long but it moves very quickly, but even if it doesn't trust me they are worth the wait!! The inside seating area is very small and is usually packed with people waiting to order so I always get my order to go. Everyone there is very nice and they will let you sample the ice cream if you're unsure of what to order. It's the perfect treat on those hot Cali days!

Menu

Ahh I love this place. I been hooked since day one. Their raspados are so good and you have the option to add a scoop of ice cream! Yummm! The esquite is SO good. It's fresh corn!! Not canned corn. The ice cream is so good and taste so fresh. So refreshing during summer time. The diablitos are one of my favorites. You can pick different flavors for it. I have tried the mango, vanilla, watermelon, lemon, guava. All so good. The fresas con crema are okay, just depends on how you like the cream because it was not runny. It was more of a thicker consistency. I think their ice creams are a decent price. We paid 40$ for all this and I think it was the fresas and esquite that were the most pricey. The service is good. I've gone on a busier day too and they are nice, never rude. Definitely recommend!

The Story of Garcia Fruits

Best Chamango in LA, great home made ice cream too with low prices and friendly service to boot. Whether on a hot day or cool day, there's something at Garcia's for you. I am hooked on the Chamango flavor profile so that is my go too. The large Chamango here is only $7.50 plus tax and that has 5 scoops of sherbet in it with a tamarind stick (which I decline). I prefer the mango and pineapple sherbets but there are many to choose from They will let you sample ice creams and gave generous size samples. I don't like cherry flavored desserts (because it reminds me of cough syrup) but was given a sample of the black cherry ice cream today and it was really good. Like , I may buy it next time good. The coffee ice cream was also very good. Paying cash is preferred.

strawberry and mango

Visitation Rights: Been here a handful of times. Credit Cards: They're accepted, but they tack on a surcharge fee. Use cash to bypass the fee. Restroom: No restroom available Wait Time: Lines can be long, but eventually you'll be able to get your mexican ice cream/sorbet/drink cravings satisfied. Location/Parking: Located inside a plaza between Adelia Ave. and Potrero Ave.. Plenty of parking in the shared lot. Ambiance/Decor: Alright ambiance. Most of the patrons mostly get it to go. There are couple of tables outside for you to sit and enjoy. Service: Service is pretty good. Staffers are friendly, offer great suggestions, and doesn't take long to get your purchase. Garcias Fruit Of Choice: I mostly get their: 1) Pina aguas frescas with no ice ($5 for a large) to maximize on liquid consumption. Very fresh, refreshing, and made to order. 2) Chamango is quite satisfying to consume. I usually order with less chamoy sauce, because I don't really like the spicy taste much. 3) Strawberry and Mango Shorbet: Once in a while, I do like to treat myself to a strawberry and mango shorbet ($4 cup). It is quite solid. 4) Elote in a cup: It's alright, but the corn they use is a bit hard. I do like the concept of having the corn kernals cut from the cobb, because it eliminates the mess and not having the corn get stuck between your teeth when you bite into it is a WIN for me. Garcias Fruit For Thought: Definitely don't mind patronizing this shop.

Chamango

Discovered this spot a couple years ago and it's been my go-to for Chamango!! It's a pretty small shop that sells snacks of all sorts. Their service is pretty decent as I've personally haven't had a bad encounter yet. It's honestly the best during the summer since mangos are sweet and ripe. I tend to come here less in the colder seasons since the mangos are too hard and kind of raw, but hey, that's a personal preference!

BY GOLLY do i love this place. Not only do they have the most amazing desserts, they also close…read morereally late (12AM). My favorite late night dessert spot for sure. The mangoes they have here are amazing. Mango heaven. I be craving this place its crazy. There are so many things on the menu so theres always something new to try. If you like asian flavors this is the spot to go. Tofu dessert, grass jelly, lychee, mango, durian, taro, this is the asian dessert heaven. FOOD: Price: Pretty good ~$5-10 per dessert Mango Sweet Rolls - $7.25 (5/5) Yo this is so good. The lil jelly paper over the mango & whip cream taste so good in my mouth. It taste like what it looks like so yummy. Strawberry Waffle w/ Strawberry Ice Cream - $10.99 (3/5) There was a lot for how much it is. I like brick toast but its not the best ive tried at all. It was almost overly sweet with a lot of syrup. Couldnt finish!! It was pretty good but toast coulda been made better ok tbh i came here so many times i dont even remember what i got. But whenever I do, it is a surprise. Choose out of the many menu options to your hearts desire. Only comment ill say is that sometimes the combos may not be that sweet so read thru the ingredients to make sure it aligns with your taste buds. Half of the items are slush and half pudding. I love pudding VIBES: The seating inside is plenty, parking outside is plenty. I ONLY ever come here at night and yes it may be a lil sketchy but its not sketchy. It was a little hard to find this place but its chill. Staff was very nice although there may be a language barrier sometimes. Food came out really fast always. Great place come here al the tiem recommend :)

After getting some nearby spa services, I thought I would close out the evening with a sweet treat…read more They have a huge menu with large variety of sweet and savory options. They close at 12 am, and we walked in around 11:30 pm. We tried to order a few of their fried items and were told that the oil was shut down already. That was a major bummer. I ordered the Mango Snow Sweet Tofu Pudding. I'm not sure if there was any "snow" or not since I couldn't tell when I opened it up at our hotel. Maybe it melted already? It was disappointing nonetheless. The egg waffle took the longest to make and it came out only okay. It was bit too soft, and that could be because we took it to go and it was steaming up. The pomelo was sour in our other dessert, so that wasn't great. Service - When I walked in, there was a girl on the phone at the register. It was a personal call and she stayed on the phone the whole time we were ordering. She barely acknowledged us and it seemed like we were inconveniencing her. Food was a miss and service was a miss. Would I go back? No.
