Love stopping by la michoacana on a warm sunny day!! Stopped in at 5PM, there was no wait compared to evening 15-20 min wait times. They have weekly specials so I got my mangonada for $2 off!! For the large option, you can choose up to 4 flavors of ice cream but I stuck to mango and tamarind. So yummy and refreshing read more

Whole staff needs to be replaced, they have lines out the door on a daily basis just to take forever to do orders, what about the people who just want to buy single items or hot Cheetos in cheese, takes literally a minute or two to pull off, there should be no way in heck that clearing a line of 15 people takes over an hour, it's ridiculous. The staff move slow and they're very unprofessional and overall rude. read more

This is the best ice cream in the area. I love the popsicles and often buy multiple to take home. They also offer mango with chamoy lime and spice. Service is impeccable. Atmosphere is clean. Many flavor options. Highly recommend read more

Super unprofessional. Signs say 10 pm closing time on sundays, obviously this is a sign that today wasn't a good day. "Monica" tried to say they were closed, and yet all the doors were unlocked. We walked in and all the workers went straight to the back as if we hadn't. She tried taking out all the garbage bags after removing us from the store with well over ten minutes left. Understandable had it been 10 pm already, but we showed up during business hours with intention of spending good money. Prices here can get hefty, not very understandable why they weren't ready to conduct business. read more

Really tasty ice cream but the staff is turtle slow. Every time more slower than the previous. They need to replace whole staff with faster ppl. Should not take 30 min to get 1 ice cream. Big reason we don't come more often. Also they need a separate line for fruit. read more

Ice cream was okay, the lady who sells us is not friendly. It was our first time there and she rush us and didn't really want to answer any questions whatsoever. I got a terrible stomach bug and diarrhea afterward. It's not worth it. read more

My daughter (5) dropped her ice cream and instead of offering a new one she said you can buy one! Like they can't take one ice cream as a write off what a shame I will never stop here again !

Back in my hometown for a quick trip and had to stop at one of my favorite places for one of my favorite foods - homemade ice cream. Normally I go to the location on Mannheim Road which is nearer to the airport but when I stopped there the selection this time looked like they melted and got hard again as if something had been wrong with there freezer. Then the one in Mt. Prospect had ice crystals on it like they had freezer issues as well. So I opted for this one instead even tho it was a little out of my way. It was on point! It looks newer and bigger than the other two locations. A disappointing worked out for the better. A few different selections as well which was a bonus. I get to try something new. I had to have my all time favorite classic Rum Raisin. This time I paired it with a newbie which was Ferrero Rocher mixed with Nutella. They also have it without the Nutella which I like at the Mannheim location, ice cream tastes like the candy with candy pieces in it. This one was vanilla based ice cream with pieces of the candy in it. The flavor was a bit bland for me. I'm not a big fan of Nutella but mixed with Ferrero Rocher was a pretty tasty combo and paired well with my Rum Raisin. I always get my ice cream in there waffle cone as it very tasty and with a nice crunch to it. Customer Service was good. He was patient in telling me some of the flavors I didn't recognize and giving samples. Price was reasonable. A great visit and I'll surely return when I'm in town again. I highly recommend you try it too. read more

We were craving desserts this evening and ended up here. La Michoacana is very lively and vibrant inside with a variety of treats to select from. Fresh fruit is used for popsicles and drinks. Several different non traditional ice cream flavors are offered amongst many other snacks. Kids would love it here because almost everything here is a sweet treat made with sugar. Most of products are listed in Spanish so be prepared to ask for a translation if you don't speak Spanish. I had two scoops of ice cream on a waffle cone. The price was reasonable as well as the quality of the ice cream. The ice cream was on the light and airy side and I would have preferred for it to be a little more dense. The two scoops of caramel and fudge definitely satisfied my craving for sweets. read more

5 stars. By far, my favorite ice cream shop! I appreciate how friendly the staff is and how willing to answer questions. Some of the menu items are new to me and so I ask questions. My favorite flavor is nuez... it's chocked full of pecans! So yummy. I also like the pina colada... it's a perfect blend of coconut and pineapples. I put it in my banana spilt! I've tried soooo many flavors! The Nutella is delicious. The Ferraro Roche is fantastic. The tequila is interesting, not my absolute fav tho. The coconut is creamy & cool. So many, I can't even remember them all right now. And they pretty much have a popsicle to match each ice cream flavor. Speaking of...they have a daily special that will save you a few bucks. I think Wednesday is the banana split. I love the fruit waters! The mango, lime with chia, and watermelon are my favorites. Buy the large - you can thank me later! Best nachos in the county! Ask for peppers! The very best part is how clean this shop is! I've never seen it in disarray - even on a busy summer day. Everyone takes time to clean up behind themselves and ensure it looks pristine for the customer. I can only imagine that is the case in the kitchen where we can't see, as well. Be sure to join their new rewards program! Gosh, I really want some RIGHT NOW! read more

Yummy authentic Mexican ice cream and snacks. It was definitely popping on Friday night. While the wait times are a bit on the long side, the staff is courteous and helpful in explaining the different options available. Fruit and ice cream options are ample and look super fresh. The shop is as clean and well kept as can be! We got a couple paletas (ice cream bars) and they were both super delicious and affordable. Will come back to try more options for sure! read more

Great place, and I'm not sure why it took us so long to try, except for the novelty of it and all of the American ice cream competition.   On a pleasant summer evening, they were quite popular, duh.  We pass by here regularly and don't ever see much going on in the daytime, but yowsa there were non-stop customers lined up on this evening anyway. They have 53 flavors, many exotic looking, and the value here is quite good.  There's no website, so no studying of the flavors beforehand except via reading some Yelp reviews.  Also, the pricing was slightly cryptic as their e-board menu pricing is in Spanish, and there are no other posted cone prices.  Anyway, wife and I both got their 1.5 scoop waffle cone that the lady said would be about $4.  Wife got mango atop coconut scoops.  I got pecan atop Mexican chocolate.  It turned out the 1.5 scoop waffle cone was only $3.10 pre-tax, nice!  Both were delectable, with mine being maybe on the sweeter side than your typical American ice cream, and with a fresh waffle cone t'was a great deal.  We shall definitely return to try some other flavors.  There's no seating currently, so everyone took their servings back to their cars.  There is an adequately sized stripmall parking lot here so that's convenient.  A lot of customers tonight were also buying for their relatives and friends as there were many multiple item orders. I knocked back one star due to a culmination of a few little factors.  Though there were 3 attendants, service was on slower side tonight, as some more laborious fruity orders took a little time.  Cone pricing as mentioned was not clear.  There are a lot of flavors and it would be nice to have something out there either on a menu or on a website describing the Mexican flavors.  One doesn't want to ask or sample much when there are 20 people in line behind you. Also, in my tasty pecan scoop, there were some tiny but hard pieces (shell remnants?), so just watch your teeth on those.   Little things, but this place could easily be 5 stars. read more

First time here and I already think way better family ice cream chain than Baskin Robbins! Awesome variety of popsicles, ice cream, Mexican drinks like horchata, agua fresca, etc. There's clearly food coloring, flavors are on the cheaper side but you can taste the fruit in the ice cream too. A small cup can fit two big ice cream scoops and is more than adequate for an adult!

Loved this location! I love that they actually display the menu compared to other locations I've been to. Everything looked really clean and service was really friendly. I always get their fresas con crema which is sweet and delicious. They definitely don't skimp out on the strawberries. Price is a little hefty as we got the large size for $9 but oh so good and so filling. Everything at the la Michoacanas are so good. I usually go for their elotes or hot Cheetos with nacho cheese. So healthy!! read more

This location always closes earlier than what is displayed they like to close 20 minutes early and lock doors

I love Michoaccana in general and that's my go to place when I am craving for ice cream (Paleta is my fav). I've been to many locations in the surrounding area and didn't have any issues except for the service in this place. I'd give 5 star for the food but service, I am not sure why but the lady who helped with our order didn't seem to be pleased with our presence in our store and I have no clue why. She gave cold answers and at the end she left our package somewhere on the counter near by(you'd usually expect it to be handed over once the billing is made) and I had to go get it from distance after paying the bill. I don't know if I want to go to this particular store again. read more

Hola, me llamo Tricia y me gusta La Michoacana! Not your run of the mill ice cream shop here! Not only does LM serve fresh fruit popsicles in like 100 varieties (slight overexaggeration), but they have creative Mexican ice cream flavors like Mexican chocolate, arroz con leche, and guayabana. Chips and nacho type creations are also on the menu. I noticed a handful of fun candy flavors like colored M&M, Ferrero Rocher, and Snickers too. Each time I come in, I try a different flavor, but I definitely recommend the Mexican chocolate with its warm spices and twist on the traditional choc. A small size is 2.5 scoops of ice cream, and you can mix 2 flavors, which'll run you $4 and some change. It's a hearty serving! read more

My first time at La Michoacana. Pros: I loved the variety of ice creams and fruit drinks and snacks! A few of us in my family were curious about the Mangonada. We tried it and it was good. If you like chile on fruits and tamarindo syrup on top of your ice cream/sherbet (you have a choice of 3 different flavors or you can choose just one), the mangonada is for you! Cons: The price was somewhat steep. Long lines and not too many employees to handle the crowd. Long wait. read more

Good variety and good ice cream. Unfortunately, all that goodness is not worth when you only get air. The employees fill up the cups with lots of gaps and when asked to fill those huge gaps they said the owner would not allow them to. That is outrageous!

Overall this place is pretty good. The palettes never disappoint but the elotes are def a hit or miss. The first time it was a party in my mouth but the last couple times it just didn't hit like the first time did. read more

Any time I come here I buy elotes for me and my family. The paletas and churned ice cream are also very delicious. My experience is always pleasant and they are quick and efficient.

It's definitely a different kind of ice cream establishment with healthy choices. The staff is incredible and speaks English and Spanish. A great concept that is spreading all over the midwest. Endless flavors at a great price. Very affordable. I can for sure say most people have not been here. Check it out! Highly Recommended read more

La Michoacana brings me back to childhood! I grew up in a largely hispanic area, waving down paletas from the guys walking around with their carts and bells. I'm happy to see how much more accessible these treats have become. Prices have definitely inflated but still palatable at $2.15 a pop. There are more ice cream (on stick) flavor varieties than I even knew and also agua frescas, scoop ice cream, smoothies, fruits, elote, and more. My personal faves are: coconut (water & milk,) strawberry (milk,) chocolate (milk,) oreo, mango (milk.) Elote with everything is also a must. I've been to other La Michoacana locations, and this one is always clean and well-stocked. read more

Was being helped by BLANCA kindly asked her to change her gloves because we had an allergen and responded that we should've told her BEFORE! Keep in mind we did ask for second order of the same thing!Went around and again did not change her gloves! Things like this should be taken very very serious she clearly did not care! read more

I love love love this place! They have all of Mexican street snacks and desserts all in one place. What I've tried so far: Elotes: authentic flavor with lots of mayo, lots of liquid butter, and lots of cheese.. It's probably not good to have it too often but it sure brings me joy. Elotes with hot cheetos: absolutely amazing!! Doritos with chicharones: this was not what I expected, I thought chicharones only came deep fried. Chicharones in this is jelly like texture and served cold. Not my cup of tea. Fresh strawberries with creme: I never thought this would be good but.. It is! Fresh strawberry milkshake: best strawberry milkshake I've ever had! Rice pudding ice cream bar: if you like rice pudding, definitely a must. Pine nuts ice cream bar: taste kind of like butter pecan ice cream. Considering how expensive pine nuts are, this is such a great deal. They also have many different ice cream flavors. The price is very reasonable so I always try several flavors. read more

I love this restaurant as they have the best Ice Cream in town and a great selection. However, they will not see me as a customer for a while! Went in yesterday to buy my favorite ice cream and was refused to be serviced, because I had no face covering. In Illinois there is NO mandate for face covering at the moment and ALL other restaurants are completely open and do not require any face covering. I explained this to the guy, but he was adamant that I could not be served this way, so I had no choice but to leave. I understand that while there was a state-wide mandate earlier they had to have this policy in place, but right now there is no mandate. I guess they don't mind to loose customers... Very sad! read more

Awesome! Extremely helpful staff, delicious juices + shakes + ice creams! They've finally labeled the ice cream flavors, making it a lot easier to choose what we want. We had a pina colada, and Fererro Rocher shake... absolutely delicious! The shake was thick, creamy and tasted like a ferrero chocolate! It was nothing like the chocolate milk-like thing we were served last time. We also had the Cheetos w/cheese... it was good but i felt sick afterwards, prob cos it was so heavy lol Customer service was top-notch like last time. I'm glad they listened to their customers! Def my new ice cream place :) read more

Honestly, this place looks more than it is! Sadly, I was super excited to come here since I always pass it by on my way to and from my parents house but when I actually tried it I was disappointed to find that the ice cream literally tastes like Beyers from the Jewel down the street. Their selections didn't really look fresh either. And their menus didn't make full sense (but that might've just been me). Also it's not super clean, it looks kind of outdated but still kind of like a mom and pop shop. I would tell newcomers to definitely give it at least one try, but as for myself, I highly doubt I'm goin back there again! read more

Excellent paletas, aguas frescas, ice cream, and fruit yogurt parfaits. Fun savory snacks as well. Similar menu as other La Michoacana locations, but this one is very spacious with plenty of seating. Glad to have a location closer to home now! read more

we love love love this place. I'm not used to all the flavours but asking for samples is easy, basically once you make it to the front of the line, the clerk who helps you stays with you nearly the entire time, putting together all parts of your order. note that fresh-fruit flavours may have wonderful chunks of real fruit mixed in, but also very real seeds and pits from the fruits! delicious and ... crunchy?? XD if you're looking for something really different, try the mangonada ice cream! it's mango-orange and chile-red swirled together in a salty-spicy-cold treat. very far from your typical vanilla! it's mango with a chamoy (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chamoy) swirl. reminded me of the cold salty lassi I once tried. not going to be in my top ten ice cream flavours, but very smooth and interesting on its own. the staff has been super nice every time, and the last time we were there, there was a fast-moving line and the folks in line were easy to chat with! really affordable, well-made treats - for 4 of us it was less than $12 w/o tip - much cheaper than a comparable 'premium' ice cream shop. if there was one thing I would change it would be to put some fresh paint on the walls and refresh the tables and chairs, maybe put small bistro sets outside for additonal seating. already looking forward to our next visit! read more
