Ummm I'd like to apologize in advance, but this is just my opinion; I ordered the mango and strawberry ice cream and I'm not impressed at all. Idk if it's just a cultural thing, but this is not the type of ice cream I'm used to. The mango tasted like it was blended then froze it without adding any cream to it. Also, the strawberry was alright, but they could've added more of the fruit to it to add that tangy taste. Maybe their other flavors are good like the coffee, cookies n ,cream, and pistachios. Maybe I just ordered the wrong flavor. They are clean and they understood some English. Not sure if I'm coming back. We all have a definition of what is "good." read more

La Michoacana - Mango and strawberry ice cream - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - North Chesterfield, Virginia

Holy crap, I'm eating queso ice cream. I had NO idea this is even a thing but it's strangely amazing. What's better is that below the queso ice cream is a layer of key lime pie. I don't ever want normal ice creams again. I bet you're wondering what queso ice cream tastes like. To me, it kind of tasted like cottage cheese but creamier. I don't know, you'll have to try it. The key lime was very flavorful with not graham crackers per say but almost a softer texture. It was very creamy. My son got cookies and cream. His had hints of cinnamon and maybe nutmeg? It was a very layered flavor and unlike anything I've had before. There were so many flavors, it was hard to choose one (or two!). They had tres leches, gummy bear, mango, all kinds of flavors. Plus they had paletas (popsicles) that looked amazing too. When I get home I'm going to Yelp Mexican ice cream. For real. read more

La Michoacana - Pineapple and coconut - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - North Chesterfield, Virginia

"GET THAT CORN OUTTA MY FACE!!"-Nacho to Eskeleto in Nacho Libre movie. I simply cannot eat corn on a cob without thinking of that movie scene. Folks, LA MICHOACANA is also the absolute best ice cream in Richmond for many reasons, some which I'll mention. Did you know they make their own? All the wonderful myriad of flavors of ice cream and fro-yo are all homemade. While I couldn't have possibly tasted them all, the ones I've tried are incredible. Their paletas or pops are also delicious. I LOVE the coconut one, and one day live on the edge and try their tres leches or the one with the 2 oreos embedded within. I chose the corn on this day because I recently turned on a co-worker to their ice cream and he raved about the corn or "elote." You DO NOT have to speak Spanish as one reviewer stated with 1-star. Had they been patient, used google translate, made an effort, (as one oftentimes has to when travelling abroad), they would have been well rewarded. Go here for the amazing ice cream, paletas, and venture in to the savory land of their delicious street elote. read more

Perfect ice cream in unused flavors like Soursop, Key lime pie, and tres leches; all of which were amazing. Flavors were fresh and natural. The ice cream was creamy and not overly sweet. No wonder the place was packed at 9:30pm! Don't be intimidated if you don't speak Spanish, it wasn't a problem. Price was reasonable too. Highly recommended. read more

A little out there but really good! Soo many flavors that are a bit different. The service is friendly and ready to let you try flavors and suggest flavors. The scoops are generous. I got pine nut flavor (with a lot of pine nuts) and the Tiger Tail. One flavor I didn't care for was the pistachio, and just had the sample so no harm done. The place is in a strip mall and pretty plain inside. They also sell ice pops of the different flavors and some sort of drinks. If the place is out of the way I suggest doubling up and going to either Chicken Fiesta the street over, Korean Garden, or Dixie Chicken (8 minutes away). They might be cash only. read more

Fantastic family ice cream shop. The service is really attentive, the ice cream is great, and the popsicles are extraordinarily unique and delicious. I'm so glad I don't live in Richmond or I'd be here again and again. One of my favorite ice cream and paleta places ever. read more

What a hidden gem! The absolute BEST ice cream in RVA... Blows Brewster's out of the water (side note it doesn't melt all over you before you eat it) fresh ingredients and way too many flavors to even count. The coconut was out of this world. All fresh real ingredients and the most reasonable prices ever. Don't let the location deter you (plaza is run down) it is our new go to place! read more

i'm only visiting Virginia and i was craving something spicy (as always) but i was also craving some fresh fruit.... i came across this place that my girlfriend told me about and im glad she brought me here. she got some ice cream and i got this spicy fruit drink it was amazing ! read more

This is the ultimate place to go for dessert if you're looking for something new, delicious, and interesting. I'm so tired of ColdStone and the rest. The staff here are very nice. Their flavors are absolutely impressive. Parking is ample no matter what time of day or night. Hope to see them do very well in the future. read more

This place is a hidden GEM. Thank you to YELP for leading me to this place and their sweet delicious glory pops and ice cream. It's located in the Buford Shopping Center right next to Chicken Fiesta (Do NOT turn into the Chicken Fiesta lot). The place can easily be confused by another business just a few stores down with a very similar name. This place sells, paletas, which is the Spanish version of American popsicles. If you have never had one please check this place out. I promise you will never go back to the traditional Popsicles again. Most paletas or helados are milk based and are super creamy, rich and full of flavor. They have a crazy amount of ice cream flavors here including: coffee, mango and chili, pistachio, oreo, coconut etc along with your staple ice cream flavors. As for their Paletas, they had some flavors including: lime, strawberry, dry fruit, pineapple, tamarind, soursop, and Jicama to name a few The place was initially "closed" when we arrived but the open sigh was still lit but the owner arrived a couple of mins later so I am glad we stuck around. We initially had trouble picking out a flavor and the worker had trouble understanding us since we were trying to figure out some of the flavors like tigers tail. But I finally decided on the paleta class which was the strawberry and cream with fruit in the middle and my gf got the Tres Leches ice cream. My paleta was heavenly and tasted great. It had kiwi, cherry, and strawberry in the middle and possibly pineapple as well. I enjoyed the tres leches ice cream but I really liked mine more. I will definitely be back to try some more adventurous flavors and glad this place is only 5 minutes from where I work! read more

This place has amazing ice cream 'popsicles' with incredible flavors, like coffee, kiwi, egg nog, strawberrry cream, egg nog with fresh fruit, ETC. And they are beautiful to look at, as well. I highly rec getting many of these for a party -- they are so beautiful and tasty, your guests will be impressed, and will have to know where you got them. I go get some every time I'm in Richmond. read more

La Michoacana - Yummy, creamy ice cream pops from La Michoacana. Love this place! All of the pops are so good. - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - North Chesterfield, Virginia

I love this place. I was craving ice cream one day and stumbled upon this place hidden away in a small shopping area. I'd never had mexican ice cream until this place and I am pleasantly surprised. The fruit pops are what I highly recommend. They're thick and creamy, with a touch of whatever flavor you choose. I love fruits so I had to get the "fruit and yogurt" one and it was so good. I loved the pop of kiwi in the middle of the frozen yogurt. My favorite has to be the strawberries and cream. The cream kind of taste the same as the yogurt in the fruit and yogurt one but I just love the occasional frozen strawberry you get in your mouth. The best part is the price. They're about $2-$2.50 for each and it's definitely worth it! I recommend this place and I will definitely be coming back! read more

Not cash only. They take credit. This is really the best value and best ice cream in town. My kids and I found this by accident today and absolutely loved it. Service was nice and our only regret was not trying more flavors! Try the pine nut ice cream! read more

La Michoacana - Best ice cream in town. - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - North Chesterfield, Virginia

This one is a 3.5 for me. The ice cream is excellent, except for the mamey. Mamey is my favorite flavor, some of you might know it is sapote, it's somewhat akin to papaya, but without the vomit-like aftertaste and scent, ha! However, the mamey here is icy, and I couldn't get with it. Ice cream must be smooooth and creamy. I actually didn't go back for a whole year because of my first try being less than satisfactory with that mamey. After one of my students convinced me, I went back. This time, I tried the butter and strawberry. It was SoO deliciously creamy and flavorful! The price was very reasonable, about $3 for two scoops (why I got two is beyond me...I don't even eat two at home.) I took a peak at that mamey, and it was still not looking creamy to me. Everything else looked great. My ice cream was fresh, creamy, and everything ice cream should be, but not overly sweet. There was a great variety of ice cream flavors and homemade pops. There was even a variety of big sizes to buy for home. Why 3.5 stars? SANITATION! I was not seeing gloves, I was, however, seeing cruddy finger nails. That does not make me too happy. It makes me hesitant. read more

super yum, nice atmosphere. would recommend to anyone looking for authentic desserts:)

Delicious Mexican ice cream! If you haven't tried it then you're missing out! The only issue I have with it is that I think it can be a little pricey. Flavor wise it's delicious! read more

So I have this condition called a sweet tooth and this place satisfies that condition. The ice cream here is very gelato like, very creamy. The portions are huge and the price is cheap. They also have more than 31 flavors, some odd ones that I'll try the next time around but this time I got good ole butter pecan. The butter pecan was rich n buttery and full of pecans. While enjoying my treat I noticed some hot sauce near the register and asked the cashier what it was used for as I didn't see anything but desserts on the menu, she pointed at a large tub of chicharones. The next time I'm coming here I gotta get some of those pork rinds and top it off with some dreamy ice cream. Forget that this shopping center looks sketchy n get you some ice cream. read more

I have passed this place endless times and it's never peaked my interest until yesterday. The location itself is just a store front in a shopping center. It's very modest and no bells and whistles....just amazing ice cream. I ordered the pistachio ice cream which was rich, loaded with pistachios, creamy and really the best pistachio ice cream I've ever had. My little one ordered Oreo ice cream and the vanilla was infused with cinnamon & vanilla. Just so DELISH. It was inexpensive & the portions were generous. I can't wait to go back this summer! Moral of the story: don't judge an ice cream place by it's cover! read more

Love it ! So many different unique flavors and fresh ice cream. There are other sweets available as well like tres leches. They have fruit with chile on it. Elote loco. Very authentic and staff was friendly. I got coconut pineapple ice cream. Yogurt with strawberry. read more

Staying in Richmond for a few days. I thought I'd look up a cool ice cream place and wow did we discover a gem! I can honestly say this is the best ice cream I have ever had. Totally handmade, creative and just delightful!!! We plan on going back everyday we're here! Key lime pie, coconut and pineapple. Just amazing! Recommend this 100%!!! read more

Sweet frozen treats that include fresh fruit, REAL chocolate (none of that chalky stuff!), and surprising flavor combinations! I had a chocolate covered coconut cream pop. Please note that every ingredient used in this item was REAL. No fake chocolate, real cream, and tons of shredded coconut. It was so darn good! My family also enjoyed a strawberries and cream pop and a fruit medley. Both were lovely and chock full of fruit. Was very impressed and look forward to trying the ice creams and whatever it is they use the hot sauce for! I think they offer some hot foods as well. If it's as good as the pops, it'll be well worth the trip to the South Side. read more

This place kicks ass. I love to eat some ice cream, and they have a million flavors. I have a thing for the key lime pie, and I have to get it almost every time. It has bits of graham cracker crust in it that adds that pleasant texture and bite to your cone. If you like a bunch of weird flavors, they have those too. I have a hard time trying the spicy ones, but it's nice to have friends get those, so you can taste theirs just get the key lime pie flavor. It sucks that it's out on Midlothian, but the trip is worth it. The prices are cheap and the shop is...cute (I hate using that word). So get a treat, take a seat, watch some telemundo and get out of the heat. read more

I first discovered La Michocacana in the dead of winter but that did not take away the amazing experience of eating this ice cream. The texture is somewhere between traditional american ice cream and gelato. It is slightly chewy, not overly sweet, and perfectly flavored. Fear not if you are less than familiar with traditional latin american flavors as you will be offered samples from the moment you walk up to the counter until you make your decision. I favor the cherries and cream (sweet cream ice cream with maraschino cherries) and my fiance fancies the chocolate chip (intensely butter flavored ice cream with dark chocolate flakes). We've tried many other flavors as well and have yet to come across one that disappoints. If you are not the ice cream fanatic that I am their paletas are just as fantastic. Both milk and water based paletas are available. Most are loaded with fresh fruit so just know ahead of time that you will never again be able to enjoy the popcicles from the grocery store. Everything La Michoacana offers is cravable and I wholeheartedly beleive it is the best ice cream in Richmond. If the taste isn't enough to bring you back -- and please see a doctor... your tastebuds are broken-- the prices will. read more

This is worth the trip. Located in a nondescript, somewhat run down strip mall, the ice cream is a-mazing. My favorite is the blackberries and cheese. The servings are HUGE, my daughter and I get a small and 2 cups total are only $4.51 with tax. Wide variety of flavors like rice, tequila, coconut, strawberry as well as kid pleasing flavors like chocolate chip and gummy bear. Besides ice cream they offer pops (called paletas) in dairy and non-dairy flavors. There are a few tables inside. It's cash only. Service is good, employees are very friendly. Make a trip and hit up my other faves, Chicken Fiesta and La Sobrasita pretty much right next door. read more

I have been hesitant to write a review, because I hate it when hole in the wall places blow up and stop being as good/raise their prices, and if that happens here, I will cry. However, I've kinda been telling everyone I meet--even strangers at bars-- about how this is pretty much the best place ever. First off, double scoop, in a waffle cone, for 3.25$. Not a typo. Second off, real good. Real real real good. Also, fun&adventurous flavors and generous with the samples and so so so good. read more

Definitely worth it! A ton of different flavors sure to satisfy all tastes! The ice cream is so smooth and flavorful. Did I mention that it is very inexpensive? I had the coffee and the angel kiss ice cream. Both were very good and I was allowed to sample the angel kiss ice cream before ordering it. I also saw that the offered tamales. I will have to ask next time if they offer any other types of food as all the tables had a container of forks and a huge bottle of hot sauce on them. Highly recommended!

La Michoacana - One scoop of coffee and one scoop of angel kiss ice cream! So yummy and cheap! Will definitely be back again! - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - North Chesterfield, Virginia

The ice cream was pretty good - not too sweet and good texture. My friends and I went in and bought a single scoop on a cone each trying vanilla, strawberries and cream and dulce de leche. I'm reserve one star for bad service, one star for portion and one star for expensive price. The cashier served customers who came in AFTER us and it annoyed the heck out of me. We were ready to order but he took other customers who walked in after us. Frankly I was about to start speaking Spanish sonI could get better service. For one skimpy scoop, one cone came out to almost $4. I felt ripped off. It was ridiculous because the portion was less than one of those drumstick ice creams you can buy from the grocery store. I won't be coming back and will eat hagaan dazs over this. read more

This place is awesome - and there are so many colors! Lots of really inventive flavors, like mango with ginger, but also a lot of traditional flavors for the less adventurous. The staff is extremely knowledgeable, as well - I have a nut allergy, and after asking if a flavor had nuts in it, the girl behind the counter gave me samples of at least 10 flavors that were nut free. I'm excited to go back and try one of their popsicles or have a glass of agua fresca. read more

Delicious paletas ! Customer service was a bit meh the first time I went but it didn't stop me from returning lol. It was lovely.

Delicious ice cream! Made in house with lots of different styles to pick from. Pro tip: go with the Rum Raisin.

Tequila ice cream! Yep, it's true...these guys have it. They also have a lot of other flavors that are so unique compared to the other ice cream shops. It's great quality too. I don't know the process that goes into making ice cream for commercial places but this shop makes a nice and creamy ice cream that has a bite to it -- I think that's a sign of a higher cream content than air but don't hold me to it. They're in a strip mall so you do need to look for them but they are well-priced and seem to keep long hours. Great place to stop for a break from the heat! read more
