This means you can choose two flavors for $0.50 more. I chose s'mores and biscoff latte. I think I enjoyed s'mores more because the biscoff latte texture was off for me. The s'mores flavor has bourbon. The biscoff latte had a nice flavor, but the texture was sticky? Not sure how to describe it.. it was thick but not in a creamy way. Anyway, my friend had to ask if someone could clean an outdoor table outside (it was so sticky that a napkin couldn't clean it off), but they didn't clean the other tables around us even though they were also very dirty. It was a hot Thursday night and it people were coming in all night. I thought service inside was great though (we had a different crew than who cleaned the table for us). They explained their offerings and suggested flavors. I wouldn't mind coming back to try their dirty sodas.

They give you a decent amount for the size you ask for, so make Aira you know how much you're getting!! Not sure if it was the cravings of the day/heat but with it being a little shop and there only being a few seats it was hard to fully enjoy the experience in the corner. With so many people visiting (the pictures were taken right before the crowd) I'm sure that's an indicator of how good it is! I will definitely be back to try other flavors or other items on the menu. Hopefully soon!

Just came from this place. Two girls were in front of my fiancé and I in line and the worker helping them was talking to them more than working. He clearly saw us, didn't tell us he would get to us and continued talking to the girls. When he was done checking them out he then proceeded to show them a video on his phone and still didn't help us. After 10 minutes a family and few more people shows up and he's finally done with the two girls and he went ahead and helped the family instead of us. He didn't pay attention to whoever was in the shop, and this has happened a few times that i've been to this place. The workers are not professional and don't seem to have common sense when it comes to working at an ice cream shop. Food is whatever, they have a ton of ice cream choices, but hospitality is #1 when it comes to serving customers and the workers here don't have that. Advice for the store managers, hire workers who don't easily get distracted by attractive people. read more

First of all, I found a nail in my tostilocos. This is the worst La Michoacána I have ever been to. They have the worst employees not to mention that one of them was smoking pot outside the ice cream shop and he was playing obnoxious gang related music. Never coming here again. read more

From a value standpoint it's also pretty good. A small is more than enough for one person. It's a heaping scoop. Favorite flavors include: - Cotton Candy ( with real cotton candy pieces) - Lime The problem here is that the shop setup isn't as good as other La Michoacana stores in north county. Most of the flavors here are not identified, and several flavors were on their last legs. Tip - Alanatural is located in one of Escondido's shady strip malls. You know the drill here, no valuables in car, make sure your insurance is up to date, and put that 1990's "club" on your steering wheel.

The shop itself is tiny with just a few seats inside, but it's cute and cozy. The service was super friendly. We also happened to get a July special that gave us $2 off when buying two drinks, which was a nice bonus. They were out of the ube foam when we visited and were making a fresh batch, but we didn't want to wait, so I ordered the ube smoothie with boba at 50% sweetness instead. It was light and not overly sweet, with a really nice texture and flavor. The boba was especially good and tasted more like it was made in house rather than the packaged kind. My favorite was actually the mango matcha smoothie. It was SO delicious! Such a refreshing little treat, and I'm already looking forward to trying more of their drinks next time.
