My girls love coming to La michoacana! The customer service is amazing! We come at least once a week!

Horrible service, the girls are too comfortable brushing their hair and just being rude, I was trying to pay with tap and she said "nada más ponle crédito" I speak Spanish but didn't know what that meant since I was doing tap. But she decided to correct me very rude. Just left, it's dirty and overprice Girl with glasses needs to get humble by someone other than me . read more

There was this ginger lady who did not acknowledge us when we entered, we made eye contact too. Instead, she heard a conversation in the back of the business and went to join. No communication what so ever of "I'll be right back" or "one moment please". We waited for 5 minutes standing and she did not come out. Super unprofessional customer service from this lady who knows if her hair is still ginger her black roots were coming out. Every other time has been better service. read more

The service is good friendly nice and fast service . The area is okay there is alit is homeless walking outside but that's not the stores fault , just a note for the late night snackers. read more

I came in @7:30, they close at 9:30 mind you .. when we walked in the girls behind the counter didn't welcome us just continued to talk to each other .. when I order my esquite I asked for extra chili from the start and there was barely any .. so I asked again for more .. she barely put any more .. so when I went to pay, I asked for MORE chili , and then she charged me .50 cents for extra chili?!? And kept staring down at me rudely.. so very rude and horrible customer service... read more

Been to this place a few times and have never encounter such rude customer service as today. Employee by the name of Reyna not sure if she gave me her real name since she hesitated should not be dealing with customers. Ordered esquite she put no mayo so my daughter told her she did not want it she complained and was very rude with her response. Losing a customer and risking a bad review over an esquite & a scoop of mayo is crazy to me. I understand we all have bad days but when at work you have to learn how to control your emotions especially if your name ain't out on that sign in front. read more

Came here on a Friday night to get some ice cream and was very disappointed. The workers here have the worst attitude. Would not come again.

Located on Chicago Ave & University Ave in the Dollar Tree Shopping Center with plenty of parking. We stopped here on Wednesday night after dinner looking for an appetizing dessert, so we were glad to see this Michoacana still open as it was shortly before 9 PM. I couldn't decide between a scoop of ice cream or a "Fresas con Crema," so I ordered both lol. I tried their "Chicle" flavored Ice-Cream which translates to bubble gum, it tasted exactly like it. Their "Fresas con Crema" (which is a cup filled with fresh cut Strawberries with sweet cream) were just as good! Both desserts were fresh, delicious, and very satisfying. They have such a huge variety of treats, such as Tostilocos, Aguas Frescas, Bionicos, Mangoneadas, Nachos, Paletas, Milkshakes, Tejuino, Elotes, Churros and so much more depending on your cravings. Service was friendly and efficient. The lobby is not spot clean, but it was acceptable during our visit. Overall, we had a good experience at this location. read more

Located at the plaza on University Ave/Chicago Ave, this is hands down our favorite spot for Mexican ice cream! We typically go for their popsicles (paletas) rather than ordering customized items like their fruit platters (sandia loca), or milkshakes (malteadas). The place can get pretty busy, and the lines can be a bit confusing. The popsicle line is near the entrance, while orders for other items need to be placed at the back of the store. The speed of service can be on the slower side, but trust me, the wait is worth it. They offer a great variety, and almost every flavor we've tried (and we've tried almost all of them!) tastes fantastic. The ambiance is a bit basic, so we typically take our items to-go and enjoy them later. In short, no day at the pool is complete without a stop here for their amazing ice cream. Highly recommend! read more

We went in first time at this location, the woman helping us was very stand off ish we asked a question for the difference of Oreo and Cookie Monster ice cream reply was "they are just different" although it's just a question we expected the real difference . no smile no nothing she seemed irritated more then anything. Wasn't answering questions felt more pushed off then anything felt as if she was just over helping us. over all ice cream and aqua Fresca de piña was ok we where in and out in 15 min ice cream has fully melted by the time we got to our car most likely won't come back not only for bad service and experience but for quality of the fast melting ice cream. read more

long waiting. Also I asked the lady if the elote entero was the Mexican style one instead of the sweeter one and she said "yes", which in fact it was not. read more

Ordered a diablito and the ladies handed me a cup not fully filled and hardly any pieces of mango which was disappointing considering I paid full price for a drink not properly made or proportioned. read more

My favorite Mexican ice cream place in Riverside. Some of my favorites are the pistachio and bubble gum in a waffle cone. The mangonadas with mango ice cream are delicious! They have the perfect about of chamoy and chili. Make sure to get fresh mango on top! Lastly, I really love the frozen bananas dipped in chocolate with peanuts on them. I get a few to go and put them in my freezer for after-work snacks. read more

I love coming to this place. My favorite is the vanilla with the chocolate / walnuts (or pecans not sure) The workers are are really nice and quick read more

Came here yesterday and the customer service is so bad! I felt very rushed to order.. food was alright. I got two drinks and a munchie.

I usually come here while I'm doing laundry next door. Usually it's okay service and good Ice cream. Normally would give this overall 3 or 4 stars, But today the service was okay and the "fresh fruit" was alright but the watermelon had gone bad/old . My mom wouldn't eat it and I was ready to toss it, but $10 is $10. I was hoping I'd go back and they would replace the rotten watermelon with the pineapple or cucumber maybe mango, since 80% of the fruit is the watermelon that she kept throwing out. So I went back But the girl at the counter justified it by going to the back and grabbing a fresh piece, eating it and saying it tasted fine. I didn't want to argue with her, I asked her if she was going to do anything to help, but said if it (her piece) had been rotten she would. I wouldn't have came back if it (mine) tasted good. I didn't even eat over half the serving as she claimed, Very disappointed she wasn't willing to replace the bad tasting fruit. Sorry but never coming back here, just terrible service I was always willing to look past because the ice cream is actually decent tasting. read more

7/3/25 at around 5pm One of the worst experiences I have had so far there was only a few people in the ice cream shop took a while to get to us the server that was helping did not listen to anything kept having to repeat the order and I ordered a vanilla milkshake only and yet she came out with a chocolate swirl milkshake at this point I just wanted to leave so I said whatever then she gave me a broken cookie straw then looked at me mad and gave attitude because I didn't leave a tip. Will not be going back here ever again. read more

Churro $3.50 ,in 2024, warmed up from frozen then made whiter because of too much sugar granules. Still cold in the middle. Not piping hot and not a joy to eat. Worker didn't do it right. Worker needs coaching by pros. read more

Went to the Michoacana bought Horchata & got a fresh water not so fresh . The milk tasted spoiled & one of the employee said it was extra vanilla like if you can't tell a difference to expired milk . Then I explained I didn't want to get sick/diarrhea & the older employee lady said that it wouldn't do me wrong . Very wrong , very rude . read more

I've literally never had a Mangonada this big! Maria was as sweet as the ice cream was; she was patient and went out of her way to ask if she could accommodate for this special request I was charged for two Mangonadas, the cup said it was $12 and I assumed I'd pay like maybe $5 for the extra toppings but was charged $24 for this monstrosity of a Mangonada It felt a little excessive but it was definitely an experience 9/10 would overpay again read more

Hi, I do not normally do this but let me explain why I gave this a 2 star! my dad and I LOVEEEE to go to the michoacana however today he went alone and purchased two agua frescas! The drinks were placed in a cardboard drink carrier that obviously had a handle to carry them easy... as soon as my dad got off the car the handle ripped.. he did not want to call because my dad does not like to cause any inconvenience but he called; a worker picked up and clearly told him "that was your fault and not our fault because you did not drop them at the store" and then automatically hung up like no please do not disrespect my father like that when it was not his fault. That was the absolute worst customer service anyone has ever given him/us. There was absolutely no reason to disrespect my father like that. Unfortunately we did not get a name but I hope something is done about this. read more

Sweets- house made icecream in quite a few delicious flavors, house made water ice that they use for the mangonadoes. Then the star the 50 different flavors of palenta icecream bars!

If I could put a negative star I WOULD!. I walked in around 8pm and there was a group of ladies working who seemed like they just got hired. One particular young lady who helped us was extremely slow to bring out our orders and still made them terribly. We had ordered a bionico which normally comes with mixed fruits but it was just cantaloupe and like three strawberries. I had to toss it out which really upset me since considering I spent more than 25 dollars for three items. We had also ordered a chocolate milkshake requesting for it to be thick and it tasted like watered down milk, absolutely disgusting. She was rationalizing everything as if it would come out of her paycheck! read more

I can here craving for some elote and I got what I wanted. I ordered a small esquire y takis but when it came out, I was hoping for some more mayo or some cheese inside. The only mayo it has was on top and it was just a drizzle. I do like the fact that they put a lot of takis on top and in the middle which was good. Overall I would give this place a 3/5. read more

La Michoacana Ice Cream - Café ice cream. Sorry for this picture and that the ice cream was melting, but it's that delicious!!! - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Riverside, California

Definitely a great place to stop by if your trying to beat the Riverside heat! I usually only come here for their paletas as their cheap, delicious and refreshing! Pro tip: you can skip the main line if you're only there to get paletas/popsicles which is what I always do since the line during hot days are usually a long one. I actually really enjoy their water/juice-based paletas as they're the ones that come in fruit flavors and they may even have some frozen fruit in them! They also have very interesting ice cream flavors that maybe one day I'll get to try. Additionally, they serve a variety of other Mexican desserts and snacks as well. One particularly popular one is their mangonada. I've never really like them from other places but theirs is the perfect balance that I actually enjoyed! Definitely a fun place to drop by for something refreshing and tasty! Very close to UCR with super affordable prices. read more

Came here last Saturday and Sunday. On Saturday my boyfriend and I got a scoop of the snickers ice cream and the Starbucks ice cream. Snickers ice cream was good but it was definitely very sweet. It's consistency is very creamy. The Starbucks ice cream tasted basically like bits of coffee grinds mixed in it. It wasn't bad because it was sweet enough to counter the bitter but it was just interesting feeling the little pieces when you ate it lol On Sunday I got a mangonada with lime and mango water based ice cream. Very yummy but I wish they had added just a little bit more of the chamoy. Overall the ice cream was good so no complaints on my end. I'm just surprised that there's a huge rave about their selection because so far there hasn't been anything that has stood out to me about them. But hey, maybe I just need to try more stuff lol read more

Terrible customer service at this location. There was two young women at the counter and when my boyfriend and I got close to order they walked away from us. Then as soon as a big group came in they completely overlooked us. I'm glad though because we left and found La Tropicana. It was a little bit of a drive but the customer service was so much better than this place read more

Found this place on yelp for a quick after-lunch dessert and wow! Thought I was coming for the cream paletas but when I entered, I smelled ...CORN!! Could it be elotes? Yes! Was pleasantly surprised as I thought this was just a dessert place. Had to get me one and even though I was so full from lunch, and it did not disappoint. Service was quick and friendly and the pink walls were a cute touch. I will definitely be coming back! read more

Nieves, helados, y paletas, ¡oh, my! I felt like I was off to see the wizard, the Wonderful Wizard of Ice Cream---that is! I've seen photos and heard about the delicious frozen treats that La Michoacana offered from bionicos, to mangoneada drinks, and a plethora of ice cream including Patron-flavored ice cream! I knew I had to come here! :-) LOCATION/PARKING Let's just say that La Michoacana Ice Cream is in a sketchy plaza located on University and Chicago, just a few blocks down from UCR. Since it neighbors other businesses, be sure to take the first parking spot you see. And be careful... the parking spaces are pretty narrow so if you're driving a nice vehicle, just be cautious. INTERIOR/ATMOSPHERE The lines are expectedly long especially now that the weather is starting to warm up. A deceivingly short line can also mean a long wait time so make sure to plan accordingly as guests will sample different ice cream flavors and/or will be indecisive, which generally will add to the long wait time. Also, this place needs more lighting; brightening up the place will probably make guests want to eat their dessert here. And the "line begins here" sign is placed inconspicuously near the back wall, which you'll only notice as the line moves up. It actually needs to be closer to the door, IMO. PRICE I think the reason why this place is packed is because the prices are great compared to franchise ice cream locations. PRODUCTS Savory and sweet treats... you'll just have to come and see for yourself! I really love the fruity paletas and ice cream, especially anything with pineapple! Take advantage of some of their specials, such as "Buy 12 paletas + get 1 free!", and stock them in your freezer until the next time you come back. What's great about their products is they make them with or without milk, such as their paletas and nieves, so there's something for everyone (lactose or not). SERVICE Although the lines were long, the employees were patient and were very helpful, with a 1:1 employee-to-customer ratio. La Michoacana is also up-to-date with their transactions, such as their iPad register, for card transactions. Overall, it's a decent frozen treat place with good service and generous pricing. ¡Muy bien, La Michoacana... hasta luego! read more

I stumbled in here on a hot and sticky Riverside day. I was surprised by the large and clean space awaiting me inside. La Michoacana has water-based ice cream, cream-based ice cream, fresh-looking popsicles, snacks, and aguas frescas. It's kinda like a lot of Mexican ice cream shops I've been to but bigger and badder and with better-tasting ice cream. The workers will let you sample the ice cream. Your eyes will kind of dart to all the interesting flavors they have and the fresh cuts of fruits inside the ice cream popsicles. I really liked the pistachio and loved the Ferrero Rocher! So rich in flavor and so smoothly creamy. However, I go crazy for the watermelon popsicle. It tastes like fresh watermelon and is so refreshing. I also love how it looks like a watermelon! The green part on the bottom is actually lime. An interesting combo when you take a bite of that and the watermelon. There is plenty of seating and napkin dispensers everywhere! A large scoop of ice cream and a popsicle came out to $3 something! So affordable and so worth it. This place makes the ice cream feel like a steal. We are trapped in a heat wave and the economy is projected to not fare so well in the next year, so spend your money wisely by coming here to sample some amazing and affordable ice cream. read more

I am a sucker for mangoneadas!! Especially if they taste as good as these!! - - s i z e - - I got the small ($3.99) which came with two scoops of sorbet (perfect size in my opinion). They also have an extra small, medium, and large all $1 less from the next size. - - f l a v o r s - - I personally love just the mango, but you can always get two different flavors of sorbet if you prefer. I have tried the soursop which was surprisingly a nice complement to the mango. But again, I prefer just mango. Which has a very strong sweet mango flavor and the texture of the sorbet is just so smooth. I have had some that are on the icy side, but this sorbet is the right amount of creamy. Their mangoneada is drizzled with chamoy all around cup and on top. They also give a nice squeeze of lime on top and add a tamarind stick to finish off the perfect dessert. This would be extra refreshing during the scorching hot summers in Riverside. - - l o c a t i o n - - This is the second? location. The original is in Moreno Valley, which is where all of their ingredients are made. This one is located in the same plaza as Rite Aid. It's a bit smaller than the original, so there was a bit of a line even though I came late at night on a random Wednesday night. Lowkey glad I don't live near here only because staying in shape would almost be impossible if these mangoneadas were easily accessible. read more
