    [[HIGHLIGHT]]La Mexicana is a beautiful and rich homage to the color and culture of Mexico. The shop has such a fantastic Artesania or Mexican Folk art. The distinctive handcrafted Talavera table setting are extravagant and decorated with handcrafted vases and hand-woven roses[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The decor is bold and energetic. The vibrant colors contribute to the cheery vibes of the place.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]The place looks and smells very fresh and clean.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] They have milk shakes, Smoothies, frappuccinos, Aguas Frescas, ice cream, paletas or popsicles, shaved ice with syrup puree, Fresas con crema, Bionico, and more. In addition to many delicious savory snacks. I ordered Bionico. It had fresh fruits like sweet mango, fresh banana, strawberries and apples mixed with creamy, rich and sweet condensed milk and finally topped with granola and shredded coconut. The amount was huge. Honestly, their Bionico was the bomb! I also got Esquite. My goodness! It was delicious, rich, creamy mixed with fresh smoky elote. It was happiness in a cup! The lady who served us, was very nice. The service was top notch. I am very excited to go back and try their ice cream, aguas frescas, and more.

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]Parking on the side and lots and lots of seating (outside too)![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We walked in and saw soo many flavors of popsicles and ice cream to choose from. One scoop is $3 and we got the pistachio. It was good! [[HIGHLIGHT]]I loved how colorful the decor and inside painted walls were.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The person who took our order was very friendly too. I would come back to try their popsicle.

    Didn't enjoy the nachos, the cheese was kind cold and it was missing beans. I ended up throwing more than half away...

    Came for the ice cream but the food was AMAZING!!! Service was quick and prompt. All of the staff is incredibly friendly and warm. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Ambiance is lively and the decor transports you to Mexico with the vibrant colors.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] My family and I got: - Mocha frappe ice cream - Pistachio ice cream - Esquite - Tostiesquite (Tostitos Esquite) - Ceviche de camaron - Cucumber Agua Fresca Ice cream is velvety. Esquite is fresh. Agua fresca was refreshing. And the ceviche was flavorful!

    Came here for a refreshment with my daughter. They only had pineapple, watermelon, or lime agua frescas but my daughter requested strawberry to me and they heard her. They offered to make her a fresh cup! So nice of them! They also take Apple Pay.

    Give me your fried ice cream, got the coconut ice cream. It's super creamy and delicious, thick and natural coconut flavor! They are also very friendly! [[HIGHLIGHT]]Very nice interior decor,[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] and a single scoop is $3, very good prices! Parking is in the back, we look forward to coming the next time!

    This hidden gem at the corner of Badillo and Rimsdale offers parking on the side. From the moment you step inside, you're struck by how clean it is, with an atmosphere that feels like a small piece of Mexico. The staff are incredibly welcoming, and the service is friendly and attentive. We tried the esquites, mango chamoy ice cream, and Takis, and everything was exceptionally well-maintained, from the kitchen to the ice cream display. Now, about the taste--the esquites were fantastic: the corn was fresh, warm, and clearly cut straight from the cob, with a seasoning that was delicious and mouthwatering. The mango chamoy ice cream was just as impressive, with the perfect balance of sweetness and savory. This is definitely a must-visit spot for your ice cream, esquite, or tostiloco cravings. We're sure we'll be back very soon!

    We were greeted by a very friendly guy who let us sample different ice cream flavors and answered our raspado questions. They have a good selection of bar and scoop type ice cream flavors. Place is clean and there's a beauty salon in the same spot. It smells like a mixture of hair products and ice cream flavors. Not bad but confusing.

    Piña colada ice cream
    Jessica A.

    A lovely ice cream place! They have such a variety of flavors such as pina colada. Such a clean place and very nice customer service. They have smoothies, snacks, and fruit bowls. A little hidden gem right on the corner. Looking forward to trying other items.

    cookies and cream frappe
    Christine M.

    strawberry milkshake, vanilla raspado, corn on the cob, esquite, and oreo ice cream. I would definitely recommend the strawberry milkshake it tasted super fresh as if you were actually biting into a strawberry !! the oreo ice cream is super rich and tastes exactly like an oreo !

The gelato is velvety & soft with prominent flavor profiles. It's tasty. (Important Note: Bring cash. Card has a small additional fee, about 3.5% extra. Also, there's no flavor sampling.) I arrived at Il Gusto (West Covina) on Monday (around 7:29pm). This location shares the busy parking plaza by 85 Degrees (West Covina). Fortunately, it was easy to find parking this evening. Staff is professional and helpful. Staff worked quickly, and staff answered all my questions. Line went very fast despite a group being ahead of me. As mentioned, I ordered the Medium Cup (2 Scoops - $8). I selected a milk chocolate scoop and a cookies-flavored scoop. Portion sizes are fair and adequate for its quality. The flavors are delicious. The milk chocolate scoop reminded me of rich, dark chocolate milk. Its consistency felt very velvety, and its strong chocolate flavor almost teetered towards chocolate brownie territory. The cookie-flavored scoop was very tasty as well. This scoop flowed smoothly, and I happily enjoyed the soft cookie chunks within. This had a milder taste, but it felt very satisfying. This gelato was not icy; rather, it had delightful flavors while flowing like chilled silk. Concerning ambiance, Il Gusto (West Covina) shows genuine effort. The location is very clean and well-ventilated (refreshingly chill). I also enjoyed the Elvis Presley music. However, the music was occasionally drowned out from the loud electronic buzzing/humming sounds from the kitchen's containers. Also, some portions of the walls and floors looked scuffed with black marks. Il Gusto (West Covina) is also fairly small. It has three reflective tables inside; customer-only restroom; and three nearby shaded tables outside. Overall, I had a pleasant experience at Il Gusto (West Covina). Its prices are adequate, the gelato is a good quality, and the staff is hardworking & helpful. If nearby, I recommend. 4.6 out of 5

Third there is also a craft beer counter serving craft beer and wine along with beer and wine floats using the homemade ice cream. What is better than two of the best things in the world beer on tap and homemade crafted gourmet ice cream!!!! I scream for both! This ice cream artist has taken it up on flavors and has come up with some super delish unique items some that include a little beer in them to make them extra creamy and some non dairy made with coconut milk. You can taste your heart out as every flavor is temping and made of fresh natural ingredients. Definitely one of the best ice cream shops that i have come across and probably I think the best in SoCal. This place makes Handels look like baskin Robbin's and makes others like after and salt & straw look commercialized. Because this guy is crafting the ice cream that he knows the people want and takes ultra pride in his product. A must visit place - located at the end of old town Covina that is also worth a visit to dine at and walk around. I'm coming back for a beer float on their patio and to pick up one of their cool tshirts. They also sell by the pint. This is ice cream heaven at its best!

During my most recent visit, the outdoor temperature in my area was 103 degrees (like most areas), so this was my justification for loading up. I visited one of my favorite ice cream shops, La Michoacana. This shop is large, offers many of my favorite yogurt bars made with real fruit, has affordable prices, and the service from any of the employees is always top-notch. The overall atmosphere is cool and relaxed. Tip: When you buy five ice cream/yogurt bars of any flavor, you receive an extra bar for free. During my recent visit, I purchased one pistachio bar made with yogurt and pistachios, one walnut bar made with yogurt and walnuts, and my favorite of all, a yogurt bar with a slice of strawberry, kiwi, and mango.

This time I got a dragon fruit agua fresca that tasted like vacation in a cup, and my sister got strawberries with Nutella that looked way too good not to steal a bite from. Everything is fresh, sweet, and hits exactly how you want it to. I love that you can grab ice cream, paletas, or take-home treats depending on your mood. And yes, they take Apple Pay which is perfect for people like me who never carry cash but always crave dessert. It's one of those spots that never misses...the kind of place you stop at "just for a minute" and walk out with three things you didn't plan to buy. Five stars all the way.

They let me know all the different desserts and options. They also explained pricing and availability to me. They showed me all the different toppings that they have for not just ice cream and sundaes, but crêpes as well. Considering I walked in here, thinking that this was strictly an ice cream place, they have a very large menu. One thing that I remember very fondly about my visit here was not that there were a lot of people here, but the people that were dining in, they were mostly families with children. That may not seem like an important thing, but to me, seeing that is precious More often than not, you see children, their parents, and even their parents parents. So sometimes you get a small group of people, but really you have three generations. Quality time like that is absolutely precious and to see them so engaged in conversation with one another and laughing the entire time and sharing dessert, that was so awesome. Sharing ice cream with my dad at an ice cream parlor near our home is a very fond memory for me. So I guess that's why I paid attention to this while we died at scoop Street. When I took a moment to take a step back and look at our little family, we also were there in our lil three generational group: me, my kiddo & my Mom. The prices here are more than reasonable. The ice cream that is used for their desserts is from thrifty. The waffle cones are made in house and smell amazing.
