I saw this on Instagram and had to try it! I got the Pop Spicy that included mango pop with chamoy drizzle, tajin spicy mangos. It was good, but a little expensive for a popsicle. We also had a cookies n' cream with 1/2 chocolate dip and Oreo crumbs. We went in the middle of the day and it wasn't busy. Inside is decorated super cute read more

Stopped by in the middle of the day, so it wasn't very busy. The place is quite spacious inside and offers lots of dip and add-on options. I got the Chammango on a stick with chamoy on one side, and it was really delicious. That said, it felt pretty expensive for a paleta, and I'm not sure it was worth the price, more reasonable pricing would definitely help. read more

So so yummy! You pick out your main ice cream pop flavor and either have it as it is OR! There is also a topping bar where you can customize it however you like. Wide selection of flavors and toppings so you can really get creative with it. The store was clean and so cutely decorated! There is some seating including low tables and high tops, but definitely feels more like a grab-and-go type of place! Plus they give you a little paper boat to rest your paleta in so you can actually set it down if you need to. read more

Service was fast and friendly but I was not a fan of the watermelon. It tasted pretty sweet, but the green part of the base was so bitter. The people in front of me were ordering the milky based paletas so I'd probably get one of those next time. read more

It was good, but not $10 a pop good! SMH one pop half dipped in chocolate and one topping wth

I have never had a paleta before, never mind a loaded paleta, but I am so glad we were able to try Holy Paleta today! They have a large variety of different paletas, including fruit bars, fruit bars with milk/creamy base, and more dessert-like bars with condensed milk or coconut milk. We decided to try 4 of their paletas: - mango dragonfruit ($6) - chamango ($9) - strawberry cheesecake ($6) -tres leches ($10) All of the paletas we tried were absolutely DELICIOUS & super refreshing ! They were all so good. They are a bit pricey but well worth the price. A regular, as-is paleta is $6, whereas a loaded paleta is about $10. This is the perfect dessert for after dinner or just to have on a nice summer day. Staff was also nice and helpful. I am so happy I discovered paletas & grateful to have had such a lovely experience. I look forward to trying more flavors! read more

Happen to come across this spot cruising on yelp for deserts because you know.... Why not? Gave us a chance to travel down to little Italy for the first time. I think there's a couple spots that do similar things but this place was legit for these pop bars. They have a huge selection of flavors, flavor toppings to customize your pop, dry toppings, milk white chocolate sauces and the like. We each got a bar that was as it is no frills and 2 that had the works. I got the strawberry cheesecake and it was very clean not overly sweet with bits of cheesecake / graham bits flavoring. I also got the chamango bar, with chimoy and tajin and just yummy drizzle. The lady got tres leches and mango dragonfruits The dragon fruit bar was good not overly sweet and you could taste the dragonfruit. The tres leches has so much on top and it was in that pool of tres leches sauce. Enjoyable, good space and clean setting. The servers were great and had suggestions and made the experience good read more

Ice cream was ok - bland. I wanted to try the ice cream without all the toppings to see how good the ice cream taste. but you need the toppings to make the ice cream better! And I got 2 different ice creams. read more

Stumbled into this Holy Paleta place after walking around little Italy with a group of family and friends. They had so much paleta flavors and many toppings you can choose from. I ordered a strawberry paleta dipped in chocolate, covered with nuts, cinnamon toasted and topped with chocolate drizzle. So tasty! 10 out of 10! Ingredients are fresh. A bit pricey but it was so worth it! Staff were accommodating, helpful and friendly. The shop is super clean with modern beautiful decor. Plenty of tables and seats for you to enjoy your dessert. read more

Interesting concept for frozen fruit juice, ice cream and toppings. I like the concept but location is not well managed and consequently I was disappointed being their customer. Menu offered is old and outdated. Tables are dirty and one of them is broken, and at $7.5 for basic guava pop sickle I feel their prices are pushing premium ice cream territory - which this is clearly not. read more

Unfortunately I was not impressed with this place. The menu's were not updated (from what the staff told us), one staff member didn't know how to explain their food product and the place was pretty dirty! I can let something's pass but an empty dirty restaurant I can't! The two staff members I saw went and stayed in the back after I ordered... I was so grossed out by the dirt around me I couldn't even finish my overly sweet popsicle. read more

Whenever I have family in town they always beg me to bring them back here. Parking is horrible as expected in this part of town. This place always overwhelms me with so many awesome choices. Everything can get something they love no matter their food preference or dietary restrictions. For sure will be back! read more

Now this is what i'm talking about, Holy Paleta understood the assignment when it comes to delivering Paletas for all tastes.. Not only do some of these flavors take me back to my childhood days, but the ingredients are quality and I love the variety across the board. I highly recommend getting a 12 pack to-go and get both sweet and savory .. The strawberry cheesecake, mazapan, keylime, chamango, strawberry basil, sandia takin were my favorites!! read more

Absolutely delicious! Got the blue vanilla which had a great flavor and was blue !! Stunning!!!

Only issue is that chocolate is $1.75 more and toppings are $.75, otherwise 10/10! read more

Sooooo delicious and the staff are incredibly nice and helpful! Everything looked amazing.

Loved the refreshing nature of the cucumbers mixed with the spice! Cute seating inside and paid street parking outside. read more

A refreshing & not overly sweet dessert stop! You can chose an already customized paleta off their menu or create your own (choosing your paleta, adding dip & toppings optional). We chose Rainbow Crunch (raspberry lemonade pop + white chocolate + fruity pebbles), strawberry mango pop, and cookies n cream pop. They were all enjoyable but cookies n cream ended up being our fave! It came with a whole oreo embedded in the creaminess of the pop- just as irresistible & satisfying as dipping oreos in a cup of cold milk but in a popsicle form! read more

Amazing treats n atmosphere. The paleta's are so delicious n tasty. Perfect for anytime of day.

It was great, loved the Paletas and toppings! Great service aswell, very nice and quiet place.

Tbh, I'd say 10/5! But for the sake of Yelp we'll go with 5, lol! I was walking down little Italy and stumbled across this paleteria. When I poked my head in I was captured by all the vibrant colors and options available. I was curious and treated myself to the Maria's cookies and cajeta ice cream cone. It was the most delicious ice cream I've had in a very long time! Perfect amount of sweetness and tasted just like the Maria's cookies. I highly recommend you make a stop here if your looking for something sweet. I also seen that they ship their paletas if you are traveling and want to send some home. read more

I thought it was quite overpriced, but the flavor is legit. I would assume the quality of the flavor wouldn't be as good unless they use the good ingredient and I assume that's where the money is going to. Cuz even just the regular mango tastes like real mango fruit and that doesn't always happen in most paleta places. So I will probably come back again cuz the money is worth it. read more

Tons of flavors, helpful service, great space. We ended up visiting twice on a weekend visit. We almost made it a third time. You can get sweet, or not-too-sweet, dairy or non-dairy, straight-paleta or dip it in magic shell chocolate and cover it it cookie crumbs. From strawberry cheesecake to cucumber. And every flavor is really pretty to look at. read more

My partner and I were walking by and saw the pictures out front, had to stop. It was hard to choose from the menu because everything looked great. We ended up getting conchas stuffed with ice cream. WOW it was good - fluffy, brioche like bread filled with the ice cream of your choice and warmed up... delicious. We also got an order of the pancake puff things. Amazing. The girl working at the time was new to making them so it took awhile but she did a GREAT job. read more

Came here recently because their paletas looked so good lol the aesthetics of the shop is adorable. Very eye catching, if you were to just be walking by do they did a great job at that. There were tons of options. At first it was a bit confusing on how to order. We walk in and there was a couple in front of us at the counter but no worker for a while. Everyone looked confused. But on the other side of the room there was another line and people being helped. I asked the one worker where the line was. You basically order at that very first counter as you walk in with all the paletas displayed then go over to the longer counter and add whatever toppings you want. I got a marzapan paleta and decided to have it dipped in milk chocolate. I found that with chocolate it made the peleta too sweet for me and the marzapan flavor didn't come through as much. I ended up peeling all the hardened chocolate off and eating the ice cream on its own. It was wayyy better this way! Not too sweet and the marzapan flavors came through A lot! Would recommend this flavor if you like the marzapan Mexican candy. My paleta came out to a little almost $8 think which I think is a little expensive BUT the ice cream bar is very big and very fresh. We live in OC but if I were nearby I would come back to try other flavors. Their yogurt with fruit looked really good too. read more

I love this place! I haven't been here in a while and it made me remember just how much I love it. Their ice cream bars are creamy, delicious and refreshing. Their dips and toppings are always fresh. You can't tell from the photo because it's buried under a layer of Maria's cookie crumbs but my bar tonight had fresh strawberries and bananas on it and that's exactly what they were--super fresh- as in they went to the back to cut them fresh. And the fruit was perfectly ripe and sweet. It completely complemented the ice cream and was such a tasty treat. The most challenging part for me is deciding which flavor and toppings to get. Truly, you can't go wrong--they are all amazing. It's just a matter of "what do I feel like today?" The staff were very friendly and knowledgeable. And the ambiance was a bit Tokyo pop. Very cute and clean. Looking forward to coming back. And yes, parking stinks--it's Little Italy, what do you expect? But if you plan to walk a bit, you can potentially walk off some of the calories, and if you're into Pokemon, there's great catching on the way! read more

The selection of paletas is overwhelming (in a good way) with the variety of paletas to choose from. They have all the paletas right in front where you choose whichever flavor you'd like. Then you choose if you'd like to dip your paleta in chocolate, etc & after you choose your toppings. What was kind of a bummer is the service we received. I was walking around exploring Little Italy & happened to see all of the paletas in the freezer right up front. Out of excitement we popped in to try it out & the energy and body language of the employees working just fell flat. They looked bothered by our presence & questions about the paletas. We weren't planning on staying to eat, but they were helpful to immediately let us know after paying their seating area was closed. We did see other people sitting at the tables inside, but it's all good, it was too hot to sit inside anyway. The taro paleta didn't taste as great as I'd hoped, but I'm down to give it another shot. Hopefully the next experience will be &better. read more

I chosen guava pop. It was delicious, not too sweet, not too hard, creamy and refreshing.

The first time i heard of these guys was at the ice cream festival in north park. Customizable paletas - with a ton of variety as is! Ranging from your milk based to fruit based options. Then you can choose if you want chocolate / toppings. The skies the limit. However, the toppings add up the price FAST. I left with a $7.50 paleta... delicious (I've tried other paleta bars and it doesn't compare) but honestly really hefty just for adding a couple sprinkles of this and that. Kids love it, chicks love, look we like cute and instagrammable read more

Was at Little Italy and saw read some reviews about this place about some upgraded popsicles! We got the arroz con leche and the coffee lechara. the popsicles themselves tasted great. You can also add dips and drizzles as well as other toppings. Staff was really friendly and helped us with our questions . It is really pricey for an upgraded popsicle though. Cool experience i'm glad we tried it ! read more

Holy Paleta - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - San Diego, California

I love me a delicious paleta. They are an incredible cold and refreshing treat that everyone should try. Given they were developed in Mexico, I will usually get a flavor that has a unique Mexican twist. My go to's are horchata, tamarindo or Chamango. I need to try pistachio as that is a favorite flavor of mine. I think it is fun that you can add fun and crazy toppings. I always get the paleta plain so I can truly taste and revel in the flavor. This shop is significantly larger than its counterpart in Bonita. I love how there is ample seating inside to enjoy your paleta with friends or by yourself. Given the location of the store is in the middle of two heavily trafficked streets, I suspect they don't receive many casual pedestrians walking by which is too bad because this place is great. If you are in the Little Italy neighborhood or near the airport, make a point to stop and grab a sweet treat. You won't be disappointed. If you are feeling adventurous, ask if they have the mini size so you can buy more than one so you can try multiple options so you don't get too full. I will be coming by more often when the outside temperatures heat up. read more
