La Michoacana Chicago - Best ice cream ever!!! - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

See all

This is a great ice cream place that serves a lot of unique flavors. The servings are large and the price is great. You should definitely try the pine nut ice cream, the strawberry cheesecake, as well as the blueberry cream cheese ice cream. The staff is very friendly and explain the flavors to you if you ask them about it (like we did, since many of the flavors are written in Spanish rather than English). There is also a good amount of seating area. All in all, this is a good place to come have some dessert with a few friends. read more

Plenty of unique ice cream flavors and I'm sure for little kids the bright colors is very enticing...however, I find it a little over priced..service can be either good or you may get a less than friendly server...who will not be very accomodating when asking for a taste sample.. although it's better than baskin robbins...in terms of selection....i like there are water based ice cream because the milk based tend to be extremely sweet.. read more

Great! Their mangoneada is delish! Ordered for delivery and it came fast as well. Will definitely ordered again

This is by far the best ice cream I have had in chicago! Huge portion, great flavor and reasonable price! read more

La Michoacana Chicago - Best ever had! - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

This place is always full! The yogurt with frutas is the bomb! The have a great variations of ice cream and the best nachos

So delicious! I love the paletas - go for the coconut and you won't be disappointed. One of my favorite dessert spots in all of Chicago. It's colorful, authentic, affordable, and sweet! read more

Rude staff, only came here because their hours are later, but their business hours are not followed. Their quality is sub-par compared to the Michocana on Fullerton and Lotus. read more

Excellent ice cream and Tortas. Just need to speed up the service hire more employees.

My husband turns into a child here. You have never seen someone get so excited about paletas and that salty tamarind syrup. Nice staff and great ice cream. read more

Great ice cream - made onsite. The cookies and cream is superb. I believe they use real Oreos in the recipe. This may even be better than Homers. read more

My husband and I were looking for some great ice cream in our area and came across this! Best adventure ever. The staff member went through some of the flavors which were not in English and explained other options . Were ordered a shake, elotes and a mangoneada. We had never even heard of a mangoneada but it was by far the best ice cream we've ever had. Sweet and spicy with a kick . Just so many flavors to choose from. Overall , the establishment was nice, staff were great and prices were a plus. We'll be back soon ....a hidden gem indeed! read more

La Michoacana Chicago - Shake, elote and mangoneada - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Some of the most hard working people, this place is always busy and the employees are always polite and quick, without rushing you. A neighborhood staple! read more

I love this ice cream shop. The ice cream so so creamy and delicious! They have a Maria cookies flavor that is to die for!

The ice cream is absolutely amazing in quality (heavy cream content vs. air) and variety-- they have a crazy number of flavors--some unusual. Their ice cream is probably some of the best I've had anywhere in the country. The only reason I didn't give them 5 stars has to do with the store and not the ice cream. It smells bad. Like some type of strong cleaner. I've been there many times and it always has this smell. If you can tolerate it while waiting in line (and there's almost always a line) then buy your ice cream and head home to enjoy it. read more

Tasty food. But staff are very rude. I arrived home and noticed my order was wrong. I came back to La Michoacana and told the lady that she gave me the order wrong. She responded with an attitude saying that I did order what she gave me. (Natural Yogurt with Strawberries, Apple, Grapes) I said I didn't like Strawberries and that I even asked my bro if I ordered strawberries before going to the place. We both agreed that my order was wrong. The lady was very rude saying that why until now I came to get my order fixed. Well I just noticed! I went home to eat, then when i was gonna eat my yogurt, i noticed the mistake. She started saying that I should've noticed on my way home. That how I didn't differentiate the strawberries etc. How was I gonna notice it? If my bro was the one holding them While i was driving. It was her mistake. I even spoke to the person in charge and she told me I was rude. Rude? Rude your employee, I went and told her in a good way, she was the one rude.. if it bothered her that i asked her to fix my order, why she working there. This place need to make sure who they hiring. Is crazy that the employees be arguing with the customers. Customers always right No matter what, thats on every job. If she made a mistake, why being rude? Just fix it and don't argue. I will speak with the Manager, I will come back and speak with the Sir, THE MAIN MANAGER. Employees shouldn't be rude to the customers. Thanks to us, they get paid. Why having people like that working there?! read more

Amazing! This place is fantastic. The lines are extremely long, maybe get more workers or work faster? The food is totally worth, the weight. I've always gotten the elotes! read more

The food is good and super authentic Mexican, but the line was ridiculously long both times I went and they were out of the elotes I wanted. Also no one there speaks English so if you don't speak Spanish it can be really hard to order. That being said the mango preparado is delicious! read more

I have been wanting to go here since I moved in the area..The BEST ice cream I have ever had!! Their Ice cream is soooooo good and they have many different flavors. Oh and they also have our favorites 'Elote' read more

I randomly yelped this place since we were in the area. It has amazing variety of flavors to choose from. Bunch of seating! And it's very safe! Absolutely loved their flavors! We ended up getting chocolate chip icecream read more

Very good food but the wait honestly is too long. They only have 2 people working the fucking line and I had to wait 30 fucking minutes or probably an hr. My tip to this place is get more workers that way it would be slow af. Had mf waiting literally for am hr plus. Rather get outside than wait here for too long. Also waiting in the fucking heat was horrible. Left without nothing because the wait is too long. read more

I love coming to this place. Delicious, refreshing paletas and ice cream. The best part, for my family at least, is that there are lots of "de agua" options which are vegan and "de leche" options too. Interesting flavors (mamey, tamarind, guayaba) in addition to mango, strawberry and coconut. Plus a very interesting mango with chili (your sweeter option) or chili with mango (your spicier option). read more

I loved it. They have a variety of different ice cream flavors including ferrero rocher! Which is absolutely delicious. They also have other interesting ice cream flavors such as Gansito ice cream. The best part is that you can sample as many ice cream flavors as you want before making your final purchase. They also have water base ice creams such as mango with chile. The ice cream is soooooo creamy and it's also at a affordable price which is why it deserves 5 stars. read more

seriously this place cant get any better . theres so many pros to this ice cream shop that im not even sure where to begin... the girls that work there are kind and very helpful and patient. they let you try any ice cream flavor as well as yogurts... they have so many flavors in ice cream and paletas that when you try them you dont even know what to choose!! the place is always clean which is a plus and their open pretty late too. read more

Unacceptable having to wait 45-75 min every time. This place needs to hire more staff to attend its customers. Great business idea lacking staffing. Even with 5 people in line, expect to wait 25-30 min. read more

La Michoacana Chicago - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Paleta (popsicle) heaven with unique ice cream flavors too! While there are other decadent savory street foods, we go for the pops and the ice cream. The paletas have fresh pieces of fruit densely packed in every bite. You can get a serving made with water, milk, or yogurt. Exotic flavors like cucumber and chile, guava, tamarind, and watermelon. Ice cream favorites include pine nut, coconut, abuelita chocolate, and blackberry and cheese. If the desserts weren't sweet enough, the staff is patient and aim to please. Their precision in making certain creations, like the giant tortas and mangoneadas, is most impressive. Yummm! read more

Love this place. The paletas are amazing. They are made in house and the flavors are so vibrant. My spouse loves the Mangonadas too.

Love this place! They have such a huge variety of paletas and I have a personal goal to try every flavor!! The staff was very friendly and fast. There is a spacious seating area and there were two couples eating each other's faces but I didn't stay so it's all good. read more

Waited in a long line, but it was definitely worth it. We got 3 ice cream bars for $7.50 which is very reasonable. The chocolate covered banana was a little plain, but the vanilla ice cream covered in coconut and chocolate was to die for. I could live off of those. We also got a blackberry paleta, complete with a whole blackberry for decoration. Very tasty, plenty of seating room, and a great summer spot. read more

La Michoacana Chicago - Blackberry paleta, complete with a whole, fresh blackberry for a cute decoration - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

I stood at the counter like an idiot without being acknowledged. I left after 10 minutes.

This is a good place to go to if you want to try different types of food they have ice cream and tortas and the drinks they make are great they are also very clean read more

Our family has been coming here for years. The food itself and price is 5 Stars!! Great variety and I can always try something new. I have to knock off two stars because for a while now, the place has been severely understaffed which causes some issues. We often have to wait 45mins to an hour for a line that really isn't that long. On top of that, there is nobody to clean the tables so I always have to come prepared to clean my own. If the line can move faster again and the atmosphere would by more clean, I would be more than happy to rate this place 5 stars. read more

We made a last minute late night run for something sweet. We got two agua frescas...refreshing! Huge bucket of mangos with chili and lime, a funnel cake and a mango sorbet with chili. I was in heaven. You can't go in here and just get one thing. They also had so many different flavors of ice creams that I've never heard of, but sounded so delicious and so many choices of popsicle flavors too. read more

Super yummy, family friendly, and a unanimous choice for our new favorite bike ride in the neighborhood

This place has the worst employees I've ever seen. They just stand around talking to each other I stood in line for 30 minutes and the lady didn't even call us up. She was socializing with a customer. And then she called someone and talked to them for 10 minutes. Worst fucking service I've ever seen. read more

My favorites are the Ferra Rocher ice cream and the cream with blackberry. Great place to meet people, have a family gathering, or just a quick pop in. They also let me practice speaking Spanish. :) (They need to add Mexican hot chocolate to the winter menu to keep up with the other paleterias in the hood.) read more

This place is amazing! So many flavors and things to try. The ice-cream is creamy, the flavors intriguing and the antiojitos, eye-opening. I love to come and try something new every time because there are just so many different things to try. It can get busy on the weekends in the summer, so, plan accordingly. When less busy, staff are great at answering questions and letting you try different flavors before making your final selection. Portion sizes are large so err on the side or ordering smaller rather than larger. Disfrute lo! read more

I have been here since 6 20 pm is already 714pm almost an hr and just the lack of employees is ridiculous 3 people are only serving at the front and there is a long line from the restroom to the entrance. Management need to hire more people to work on the weekends for sure. But, overall their deserts are pretty good and the people are kind. read more

This place is sweet! (See what I did there?) They have a variety of flavors and different types of ice creams... Popsicles... Mangonadas... Funnel cakes... Loaded chips.. Fruits... Smoothies.. Just to name a few. There is no possible way I can list it all, you just have to trust me and go try it out for yourself! The interior is painted nice and bright, so the kids love coming here. In addition to the sweets, they have board games and the TV is always on so you have something to watch while indulging in the goodies that they have to offer. They have a ton of tables, including kiddo sized, so I haven't had to stand (yet) to eat my ice cream. They have a ton of workers so serve you, so there isn't much of a wait time, and they're always so friendly and helpful. They do offer taste sampling so that you can try all of the flavors before committing to any 1 flavor. The prices are very reasonable, I would even go to say some things were on the cheap (inexpensive) side. We had a funnel cake, ice cream scoop, topped with whip and cherries for under $5-fed 3 of us! Can't. Beat. That! read more

The Jeni's of Albany Park. Fresh, homemade ice cream, and they do it really well. I like the coffee flavor. My wife got something that had strawberry and chocolate cake stirred in. Real good. I'll be back! read more
