    Long line. 2 employees, always.
    Carol M.

    Always , always a long wait. 2 employees. 15 customers. I only come get the aguas frescas and the wait is 30 minutes. Definitely my last time here for that.

    40 min waiting time on sunday! Estuvimos esperando 40 min para ordenar parados haciendo fila en domingo en la tarde! Sugerencia: Cobren primero, asi la gente se podría sentar , convivir en familia mientras uno espera la orden, su personal puede concentrarse en preparar e ir llamando por numeros o por nombre cuando el pedido este listo. Buenos productos pero terrible modus operandi

    This spot is a staple when my friend comes into town. You will never be disappointed giving it a try !

    This place is so generous with their proportions! I always get the Hot Cheetos elotes and mangonada. It's soooo good.

    Have you ever had a salty and sweet drink? Well give that odd but melodious combination a try with a Mexican concoction called 'mangonada'. Perfect for the summer!

    Best Michoacana Ice Cream shop that I have ever been to. They just have such a wide variety of flavors to satisfy any ice cream craving. They have your "normal" flavors such as chocolate, vanilla, starwberry, etc. They also have tropical flavors such as tamarind, mango, and lime. Then, they have all the flavors that you could ever want in a popsicle. If that wasn't enough, they can make fruit cups that are flavored with chamoy, a sweet tamarind sauce. I can go on and on. To top it off they also have elotes on their menu, along with chips smothered in cheese, and chicharon. You can find all sorts of things in this ice cream shop. The restaurant is also very cute inside. Pink, light green, and yellow colors decorate the walls. Its just very inviting and relaxing inside. Makes you really feel like your a kid in a candy shop, frozen candy at that. There are plenty of seats to sit and enjoy your ice cream. They even have a little section catered to kids. That section is decorated with small tables and chairs seated in front of a tv that plays nonstop cartoons. If you are ever craving an ice cold treat, stop on by at La Michoacana!

    The one hour wait to order was worth it! And I rarely believe that. I can't even imagine how long the wait would be if it was the summer time. So first of, the place is spacious, cute, and popping! I can see why everyone wants to hang out and chill there in the summer. Also, it is very clean. I mean this is a big busy place and for them to keep it clean during a rush is impressive. I think it also shows how people respect the workers and the space. The menu is extensive and I love it! I am usually overwhelmed by big menus but this place made me excited. They have all the flavors I miss from my country and new items to try as well. My favorite of course is the mango with chamoy. I did not know you can mix those two together, it is pure genius. Lastly, the paletas was refreshing, sweet, and you know it is fresh made. I want to come back here and try every single thing in the menu. This place is highly recommended!!!

    Experience: This review was completed during the Shelter-in-Place and Covid Pandemic. Business was very compliant with social distancing, which I really appreciate. Staff was very professional and patient. Parking: There is a parking lot located on the side of the business. It has a pink wall with a wired fence. You might miss it if you do not pay attention. There is also paid street parking right in front, but why do that when you can get free parking in their lot. Worth: Oh yes. This is worth a visit. This specific location appears to be larger compared to other Michoacana. I ordered the Strawberry Milkshake (As pictured below) and it surely did not disappoint. We also had an elotes, but we ate that up before I even took a picture lol Overall, their menue has numerous items, that it might take you a while to even choose.

    I'm not too familiar with Mexican desserts but everything I tried was delicious! I love the guava ice cream and the mango pieces with chili powder. You can taste the freshness in all their ice creams. Will definitely be back to try the popsicles! Luckily there wasn't much of a line when I got here but I can see how it could get crowded really fast in the summer.

    4.5 stars... I can totally see why. They make their own ice cream here. It's cold and creamy and just... YUM! I love paletas... I know. I'm never gonna be a skinny girl. But every time I walk into this place I just don't care. I am a simple girl. When I find something I like I stick with it. But not here. I get a different paleta every time I go because I literally wanna try everything. And I'm not afraid because I know I'll just love it... no matter what it is. This is so not me, folks. ^_~ The staff is super friendly. Now... not everyone speaks English and I don't speak Spanish so sometimes it takes a smile and some patience but totally worth it. For real. Eat here. =] =]

    Limon mangoneada
    Rosa J.

    There are many Hispanic Neverias in Albany Park. Similarly, they all have mangoneada. Who has the best-tasting chili sauce? I voted La Michoacan Premium! I had the limon-flavored mangoneada. That probably would be my favorite kind of Mexican snack. I love limon and I cannot lie...Oops, I think I've used this lyrical line way too many times so far. Hubby concurred with my evaluation on the chili sauce as well. He had the regular, mango-flavored mangoneada. We were chatting about mangoneada on the way like two (2) nerds discussing the molecular structure of sodium benzoate. There are many choices of pelatas, Aguas frescas, ice creams, and seven (7) or eight (8) different flavors of mangoneada. I don't think everything I named on the previous sentence is exhaustive. They have a plenty of seating, with restrooms for patrons onsite. Hence, it's a comfortable place to hang out and to enjoy your treats. The closet public transportation is the CTA 81 (Lawrence) bus. However, if you wanna explore Albany Park for fun, utilize the CTA Kedzie Brown Line station. Once you exit the station, head north on Kedzie until reaching Lawrence. Then turn east on Lawrence.

It was pricey but enough for 2 people to share. Metered parking on a weekend evening was easy. My only complaint is that it had a strange, unpleasant smell inside (we were there in the evening during the weekend of April 25th). Also, when I came a few years ago, it had a really cozy, welcoming vibe packed with comfy couches. Now, it just looks like basic tables and plastic chairs, lacking comfort, character, and charm. I'm hoping to return to try the sweet potato latte and the other shaved ices, but I hope they do something about the smell and make the space feel more cozy and inviting.

And so it was that we found ourselves inside this location of Ghirardelli during our Chicago trip. I wound up ordering what I always order, the World Famous Hot Fudge Sundae ("Vanilla ice cream and handmade hot fudge topped with whipped cream, diced almonds, a cherry, and a Milk Chocolate Caramel Square"). It was ready within minutes and of course it's terrific. All the components work so well together, and that hot fudge sauce remains one of my favorite things ever. (Do I wish they had included more of it? Yes, absolutely.) Don't ever change, Ghirardelli. You're great. (And please come to Canada some day!)

    While visiting Chicago lately and wanting to warm up with a nice, warm beverage, my friend and I…read morecame across the Chicago Ghirardelli Ice Cream & Chocolate Shop on Michigan Avenue, and we immediately went inside and upstairs to place an order for hot chocolate. And we certainly are glad we did...it was delicious!! While Ghirardelli Chocolate was founded in San Francisco in 1852, Chicago is fortunate to have a vibrant and welcoming shop where any visitors can indulge in the ultimate chocolate experience whether purchasing chocolate gifts or placing an order at their made in-house restaurant upstairs. They make decadent hot fudge sundaes with handmade hot fudge made fresh daily from Ghirardelli Chocolate along with a sample signature chocolate square. This particular store is open on Monday through Thursday from 11 AM to 9 PM, Friday from 11 AM to 10 PM, Saturday from 10 AM to 11 PM, and Sunday from 10 AM to 9 PM. I jumped at ordering a Classic Hot Cocoa, which offers a luxuriously deep chocolate flavor that comes through their beverage while topped with whipped cream and dusted with cocoa powder. It was served with a milk chocolate caramel Ghirardelli square. They also served shakes, coffee drinks, and more along with their huge chocolate Pick & Mix selection (where you choose your own flavors), chocolate gifts, chocolate bars, and chocolate gift bags. Go to their website (https://www.ghirardelli.com) and sign up for their e-mail newsletter to receive 15% off an order while also receiving e-mails with special offers. Another deal is that you can get free standard shipping on orders of $75 or more. I'm already dreaming of my next Ghirardelli made in-house beverage and chocolate square. Yum!!!

I found it interesting that the hot fudge was served on the side, but it's actually pretty smart because you get control how much (or how little) sauce you get. The ice cream is the highlight. It's creamy and rich, and it's got a really nice flavor, too. The hot fudge was less impressive, but that might be because I had already eaten a Ghirardelli sundae earlier in the day and their hot fudge just can't be beat. The service was super friendly and the atmosphere was kitschy and fun. It's a cool place.
