    Nieve de limón
    Tita L.

    I ordered a nieve de limón and taste is delicious but the serving size was ridiculous.

    Popsicle Selections

    Holy Moly how did I not know there was a Holy Paleta location in Bonita. We always go to the one in Little Italy which is quite far. I was driving in Bonita and saw the sign and was floored. Came back tonight for a popsicle. Will be coming back often. The young lady behind the counter was very patient with us as we couldn't make up our minds. I always love to get the peanut butter cup. There are a few chairs outside to sit.

    I visited the store recently and had a very positive experience. The paleta was prepared as I requested. Elisabeth did a great job serving us and chatting with us as we asked a few questions. Highly recommend her. It makes a difference to get great service.

    Update: I still enjoy going to this location. I got a photo on our most recent visit last week. My husband loves the spicy dole whip which he gets every time we go. Service is always friendly and quick!

    If you're looking for some delicious gourmet paletas and ice cream, this is your place! They have a great range of flavors, both sweet and refreshing. Adding toppings to a classic paleta is interesting and the strawberry paleta with the milk chocolate was an amazing combo. These are a bit on the pricier side as you pay around $5 for the paleta and it's extra for toppings but the service is great and I would come back to support a local business.

    Watermelon Tajin Chamoy

    Pricey once you add toppings. Two popsicles with toppings came out to ~17.00 You pick a flavor and they ask you if you want toppings. No crowds at 8pm. There's no where to sit inside, but there are three chairs outside with a view of the parking lot and intersection if you want to eat it here. I would skip the toppings next time. The popsicles are pretty delicious as is. Pistachio 1.00 Chamoy .50 Tajin .50 Chocolate 1.25 Coconut flakes 1.00

    Hidden Gem in Bonita! I lived in San Diego in 2020- military brought us here and I yelped a bunch of places, this one being on my list but never wanting to go because I thought it was only in the city area. Military moves us back to SD and find this Bonita location, which I'm so happy! In my opinion the hype is real. The flavors are spot on for the flavors we've tried: pistachio , Mexican hot chocolate, mazapan ice cream, tre leches.. I will say the Dubai chocolate bar ice cream is looks wise hype but the flavor doesn't remind me of the chocolate bar. It's really heavy and the crunchies inside get chewy and soft. They should just add the crunchies on top and drizzle the pistachio cream that would really make it good! It's a small shop, some chairs outside . But a great after dinner treat! Or even after school! Would come back again, employees are nice as well!

    The arroz con leche flavor was 10/10. Best Paleta I have had in years. Recommended by the person working, she was great. Super quick. We will be back tomorrow!

    We love indulging in the super yummy Paletas! My daughter loves the yummy topping and my son can't get enough of the mazapán paleta.

    La Original Concha

    I am so grateful for trying this place after having tacos with our friends. This place was so good and the perfect dessert after Taco Tuesday! My husband and I got a key lime paleta drizzled with dark chocolate and a concha ice cream sandwich. The concha ice cream sandwich was *chef's kiss* we've never had anything like it- the bread was warm which paired very well with the ice cream and other flavorings that were in it. We came on a Tuesday, so the service was fast. Props to the girl behind the counter; there was a party of 4 ahead of us and there was 6 of us as well. She was very fast not only making our paletas and concha ice cream sandwich, but our friend also ordered a Mexican chocolate float as well. It honestly looked like she was the only one behind the counter and I'm very impressed by her efficiency and fast service to all of us! This place is right next to us Taco Machin and it's a pretty small place. If I were to do an event, I would definitely hire Holy Paleta at an event for a birthday, wedding, bridal shower, etc. Eating at Holy Paleta was a perfect way to conclude the night with friends!

    Not your basic paleta. So If you basic keep your basic self at home cause these paletas are absolutely over the top deliciousness! I ask myself why?! Why did I wait so long come here? Don't be like me and just try this place already! Had the choco banana today and it was like having chocolate abuelita with banana in it. I added a small drizzle of condensed Milk to it with nuts. Trust me get the toppings! They definitely do not skimp on the toppings and pour them on there as much as you like! Love that this place is right next to one of my favorite taco spots, Taco Machin. You can come to Holy Paleta right after tacos. Are you kidding me? Go, and you can thank me laters!

    Hmmm these paletas are sooo good. Up to you on whether or not it's worth the price! Definitely not a cheap dessert but it is infinitely customizable for a cost ;) and you get all your fav toppings and combos. They have a lot of choices to choose from!

    No line tonight so walked right in. There are times I see 5-6 outside waiting. Wife wanted their pallets so off we went. She had Horchata popsicle dipped in chocolate. It was very good. I had the cucumber and pineapple popsicle with tajin and chamoy. It was refreshing and would be so more on a hot afternoon. Could have done without the tajin. Will definitely return to try paletas with milk and dipped in chocolate.

The last time I came, they were out of most of the popular flavors, and two young men working the counter were laughing and having a great time while the line was long. That experience alone made me decide not to come back--until today... which was a mistake. There's currently a heat wave in San Diego, it was around 6:30 PM, and the place was packed both inside and out. I came with my younger daughters and ordered six cups total. First disappointment--no strawberry. Second--no vanilla. Third--no chocolate. We had to make do with the very limited flavors available. Plain, Pistachio, Oreo and Mango. When I got to the counter, there was only one young man working. I asked if he was running the whole shop alone, and he said yes and apologized. I told him not to apologize because this is clearly a management issue, not his fault. He was actually exceptional and very kind despite being overwhelmed, and he deserves recognition for that. However, the owner or manager of this location should be present or ensure proper staffing, especially during peak hours and extreme weather. Having one employee handle a packed store is completely unacceptable and reflects very poor management. I'm really disappointed to say I won't be returning. But give this young man a break. Too bad I didn't catch his name.

    Our first time coming into this Handel's for my son's school fundraiser!…read more Nevertheless, I do like the flavors they offer and by far my favorite one I've been to as the ice cream consistency is a bit better here. Smooth, milky and a little thick. I asked if they split the flavors in scoops but nope lol. Tried my bf's milkshake and not to my liking cause it was more milky than thick. I love how there's ample outside seating with umbrellas for shade. Definitely in busy traffic so make sure the kids are not running around. Although the outside is spacious for seats, the inside is just as big but not used enough? The pricing and sizes are on one side of the store (on your right when you enter) and the line does get pretty long but everyone is on one side. The other half of the store is pretty empty to wait for your ice cream. My only one request is to have spoons and napkins available to guests ~ or give some at purchase? I don't recall being given any and I had to wait to ask for napkins at the counter.

Talk about deep rich chocolate flavor. Not only was the ice cream super creamy and smooth, but it was also deep in chocolate flavor. If the dark chocolate ice was not enough, the chocolate chips in the ice were great too, and offered an additional burst of chocolate in the mouth. If you are a chocolate lover like me, this one is for you. The hospitality was good. The you lady at the counter, although a little shy, she was very soft spoken and very nice. This location offers a couple of metal benches inside and a good amount of tables outside.

I'd like to also address some of the bad reviews about the customer service how some people are upset they don't get greeted right away at a FROZEN YOGURT place. Haha!

You can't come to a YOGURT place in the barrio & expect Red Carpet service, some of you Yelpers are so extra it's funny, what do you want a high five & hug with your Yogurt too? Look all I want is a clean toppings & Yogurt bar, clean store & take my money with a smile & they do that here. I love their prices, the amount I get at Nuyo I pay about $11 when here it's only about $8. That's a big difference when you got 2 teenage girls with friends. I'm saving $3 a cup. They have a few tables inside but we usually take it to go. We go next door to Pho Cow 7 a lot so while we wait to get seated when it's busy we come here real quick to get a cup to share with my girls & it's great. I do live in Chula Vista but I would & have gone out my way to come here if I feel like driving & want to save a few bucks & get better flavors.
