Pretty sure it's a franchise with locations all over, and I gotta say, I'm a fan every time! It's an ice cream shop but they have basically every mexican treat you can imagine, from elotes, to hot dogs, to candy, and even tamales. Even though we just had dinner, we couldn't resist ordering a hot dog. You can opt to have this bacon wrapped or not, and its just as good as any late night dirty dog cart you hit up after the club. IYKYK haha They have a ton of ice creams to choose from and they do give a couple samples as well. But if you don't want a cup or cone, they also have hella paletas to choose from! Paletas are so nostalgic for me.. they just remind me of my childhood with the paleta man ringing his cart. Ice cream scoops are generous, a single is still a really good serving but you only get one flavor! The workers may have limited English but it still shouldn't be too hard to communicate. They're nice and helpful, and the store is clean with a good amount of seating. They take CC and Apple Pay so that's always a plus! Open late enough for a little snack or treat to end the night! read more

Hubby and I wanted to stop by to get some ice cream and saw this place on Yelp so we decided to give it a try! We were looking around and saw that they had a variety of sweet and savory items to choose from. We ended up ordering 2 tamales, a crepe with ice cream, their gummies chamoy and their hot Cheetos elote. Service was super fast and the person who helped us was very patient with us as we were looking at the menu and figuring out what we wanted to get. The Hot Cheetos elote was amazing! It has to be one of the best elote that Hubby and I have had in a very long time! The crepe with ice cream was delicious as well and their gummies chamoy was so good! Dining area was very spacious and open. Definitely will be coming back here when we come visit again! read more

We drove from Paso Robles (40 mins away) just to buy from this store. Our agua de Sandia didn't have much flavor it felt watered down (we didn't drink much) When my husband asked the young man Fabian for a different flavor he went to go ask the other girl in charge and she said no. He gave him a sample and said it tasted fine. He also said that his boss is strict and couldn't do much. We wont be coming back this far anymore. read more

I think this place puts a lot of pride into the ice cream it taste almost homemade. ;) Plus I like to relax sometimes so sharing a cone or cup with friends and family here is a really nice treat. Tbh I was at Menchie's before coming here but they didn't have the NSA flavors I like so I thought I'd I'm going to have sugar I'd rather it be here at La Michoacana they have really awesome flavors! The pitaya is my summer favorite but see me later in the fall I might get something different. The have clean restrooms and offer a few other things besides just ice cream. Like tamales, nachos, crepes, churros, fresh fruit, shakes, frescas and more. read more

DIABOLICAL. Paid $22 for these two items and they're disgusting. The dubai strawberries don't taste like pistachio cream whatsoever. I've had dubai strawberries at other locations and this doesn't come close to tasting even similar. No clue what their "pistachio cream" consists of. Looks like a lime cream sauce. Not to mention their "chocolate" is nutella, and their strawberries are browning/going bad. DONT GET ME STARTED ON THE "street corn." Taco Bell could've pulled this off better. It is nacho cheese WITH some corn. Diabolicalll. Couldn't even look at it without wanting to ...... Employees don't wear gloves which also just makes this establishment more concerning. Overall, I left hungry, nauseous, and wasted $. read more

My boyfriend and I used to love coming here, we would go to the one in Santa Maria and we were excited when they put this one in Grover since we loved sharing banana splits. Over the years obviously the price has increased, 11, 12, 13, however now it's 14.50 just for a banana split and unfortunately they give less ice cream and toppings. We went last night and the employee even gave us wrong ice cream but no big deal and then we went to pay, almost 15 for a small banana split is outrageous. We loved this place for years, it's just no longer worth it. McConnells is a far better deal and cheaper, just as good ice cream too. Azteca is just too expensive now. read more

We stopped by for some ice cream after dinner and it did not disappoint. So many flavors to choose from it was difficult deciding on 1! They also offer smoothies, boba, churros, fresh fruit, fruit bars, you name it. Staff was friendly and helpful. I believe 1 scoop in a cup is $5, 2 scoops for $8.50 in a cup but they also had waffle cones and waffle cups. My son opted for 2 scoops, oreo and mint chocolate chip. My daughter and I both chose caramel (cajeta), and hubs got rocky road. Scoops were a good size and the ice cream was very creamy. We all enjoyed it. They also let us try whatever flavors we were debating ob which was nice. Great find. read more

I've been there a couple times where someone helping me doesn't speak English, but it's not too difficult to figure out what they have to offer. I love being able to pick up a strawberries and cream paleta or getting an agua fresca. They also have savory snacks like esquites/corn, loaded with butter, mayo, cheese, and hot sauce.

Nicely curated and has a very quaint feel to the shop. Ordered a crab salad sandwich and a hot meatball sub from the deli. The crab salad would have benefited from toasting the bread as the soft bread with a soft filling and cold cheese wasn't a very appealing texture. The hot meatball sub was better done with a strong Italian seasoning and Parmesan flavor to the meatballs. Nice and convienient if you're staying in the area although prices are a bit on the high side.

We were walking by The Scoop and saw that the door was still open and the "open" sign was still on, even though it was 8:40 so decided to go in and ask if they were still serving, which they were! We got a few kid scoops to go around. Even though they are kid portions, the scoop portion was actually quite sizable and enough even for an adult to enjoy. The ice cream was basic, but made for a refreshing treat. If you pay with cash, you pay the face value of the prices listed. However, if you pay with card, there is a surcharge.
