    I've been coming to La Michoacana regularly for a long time and have always enjoyed their ice cream, pan dulce, and other items. I've never had an issue until this visit, which is why I feel the need to share this experience. This was my first time purchasing a cake from here, and unfortunately it was extremely disappointing and concerning. When we cut into the cake at home, we noticed odd gray/green discoloration inside the cake, uneven texture, and areas that looked wet and broken down. It also had this awful smell and the appearance alone was enough to make us stop eating it immediately. This does not look like normal cake coloration or texture, and it raised serious food safety concerns. Cakes, especially those with moisture, fillings, or cream, should be closely monitored, and it seems like this one may have sat on display far too long. This is not just about taste or quality; someone could genuinely get sick from consuming something like this. What's disappointing is that I genuinely like this place and come here often, which makes this experience even more frustrating. I really hope management takes this seriously and re-evaluates how long cakes are kept on display before being discarded. Freshness and safety should never be compromised. I'm sharing this not to bash the business, but because I believe they can and should do better, especially since many families shop here regularly.

    The best paletas in Vallejo. Get the pan dulce early in the morning when it's fresh and thank me later. Staff is always friendly and welcoming.

    After moving around this area, my fiancé and I are still on the hunt to try new foods in Vallejo. This was definitely a worthy visit! The store is across the street from La Tapatia where we also buy some of our carne asada or grilled chicken. From the reviews, I thought they only served paletas and I was amazed to see how many different flavors there were! But they also had cakes, mangonadas, drinks, tortas, and all different kinds of bakery breads. I got to try out the strawberry cream paleta and it was so refreshing and tasty! It was flavored well-balanced, not too sweet and not bland. My fiancé ordered the oreo paleta and it was also very flavorful. We were also curious of the horchata fresca. We had to try it! And it tasted like tasty strawberry milk. All of it was delicious and we can't wait to come back and try more paletas and their other foods!

    We love coming here for pan before school and for a sweet treat after school. The marzipan ice cream is my personal favorite, but I love the rest of the options too! The staff is always friendly and attentive.

    I purchased another Tres Leches Cake for a wonderful lady friend who reached the wonderful age of 97 on June 1. The cake was beautiful and most delicious. Thank you La Michoacana for being a part of celebrating Libby's blessed and happy birthday.

    You. Need. To. Come. Here. This place is DELICIOUS. I have visited a few times to have their paletas and haheimpressed every single time. Their paletas are handmade and come in a huuuge variety of flavors. There's one for everyone's taste!! I haven't tried anything else but will definitely go back specifically to do so soon. The service is friendly, the dessert is tasty, and the prices are unbeatable. Check them out! Protip: the strawberries and cream paleta is my favorite!

    Best Rosca de Reyes I've tried freshly baked still warm when we ate it. Also recommend paleta de fresas con crema.

    Looking for some fresh paletas?? La Michoacana is your spot! But wait! They don't only sell delicious, fresh paletas! They also have baked goods, other desserts, and food! I have yet to try their torta (mexican sandwich). I only go here for their paletas, because it's super quick and convenient to me! They have a great variety of flavors! I do wish for them to make a horchata paleta!! Anywho, my favorites are the cookies & cream, strawberries & cream, and mamey! Trust me when I say "fresh!" I love how the paletas do not taste "heavy." They will for sure fulfill your cravings for something sweet, creamy, and fresh! Totes perfect for the summer ...perfect for everyday, actually! Located on a corner on Broadway St., so parking on the street is your best bet. Sure, their location doesn't look promising, but I promise you after one visit here, you'll be back for more! You're going to WANT to try their other ice cream and/or paleta flavors! And eat other things they have to offer! Their prices are oh so reasonable! Each paleta was about $2-$3! So if you plan on having family and friends over, this is a great and affordable dessert! Service here is always family friendly. So if you are ever driving pass Vallejo, I do recommend making a quick stop here!

    My fave (maybe not so underrated) ice cream shop in Vallejo, and that's on that. Prices are still super reasonable- under $2 for a paleta without the choco dip, and under $3 for a choco dip + nuts. You can't beat that in most parts of the East Bay! They also have various ice cream flavors (available in scoop, milkshake, or sundae form) that are reasonably priced, and in flavors similar to what you'd find in the state of Michoacan in Mexico- and Mexico in general ex: chongos, jamaica, etc. They've also got other desserts, fruits, and baked goods that are self-serve, and the ladies working over the counter are very helpful! Stay cool, La Michoacana!

    Two stars because the ladies were nice but they said it wasn't the same place on yelp which I showed them the name and photos showing it was a match anyway I took a picture of the name and they didn't have the cupcakes that they display on the photos, so waste of time and gas

It definitely makes me want to come back and try more of their menu!

    Taco Jalisco has been one of my favorite places to get Mexican food in Vallejo for the past 20…read moreyears, so I figured it was finally time to give them a review! Over the years, I've watched this place go through a few upgrades. One of the biggest changes is the menu that used to be painted on the wall is now displayed on digital display. It looks pretty cool, although I do miss the old painted menu because it was part of what I remembered about this place. But with prices changing over the years, I can definitely understand why going digital makes more sense than having to repaint the wall every time something changes. Prices have gone up over the years too, but that's understandable. One thing that hasn't changed is the service. The staff has always been nice, welcoming, and hospitable. I've never had any problems with the customer service here. This time I ordered a super burrito and two street tacos. Taco Jalisco has always had some of my favorite carne asada. The steak is flavorful and honestly some of the best carne asada I've had in a Mexican dish. The street tacos were simple and good. Carne Asada and chicken with , cilantro, onions, and their hot sauce on top. And I have to mention their hot sauce! It has been one of my favorite things about Taco Jalisco for years. It adds so much flavor without taking away from the food. The super burrito was good too, although it was on the smaller side compared to super burritos I've gotten at other places. Still, the flavor was there. The seasoned steak, rice, and house sauce all blend together really well. Their rice especially seems to soak up some of that sauce, and when you get everything together in one bite, it makes for a really flavorful burrito. After 20 years, Taco Jalisco is still one of my favorite places in Vallejo to grab a burrito and some tacos. I wouldn't necessarily call it the best anymore, especially with so many other good Mexican spots around Vallejo now, but it will always be one of my favorites and a place I'll continue coming back to.

My favorite was their chicken tinga, which reminded me of the chicken burritos I used to get back in my hometown across the bridge. I immediately told myself I'd have to come back and order a chicken tinga burrito. A few weeks later, I finally returned on a Sunday while they were serving their World Cup Sunday brunch. I ordered a chicken tinga super burrito and a California burrito to take home. I was really excited to dig in, but when I opened the bag, the "super" burrito looked more like a regular burrito. The flavors were still great, but the filling was disappointing. There was barely any chicken or sour cream, and I had to eat more than halfway through before I finally got a decent balance of meat, rice, and beans. I even had to add my own sour cream because there was so little inside. As for the California burrito, it was just okay. The fries were stale, and there wasn't enough sour cream or guacamole, which made the burrito pretty dry. It honestly reminded me more of a breakfast burrito than a California burrito, and I wasn't a fan. Overall, the flavors are definitely there, and it's clear the food has potential. However, the portions felt skimpy for the price, making the burritos feel overpriced. I'll give Sol y Sazon another chance because I know they're capable of making delicious food, but if my next experience is like this one, they'll likely lose me as a customer.

The line was considerably long around 7:30 p.m. so it took a while for us to order and receive our food. I like that the tacos here are single tortilla -- as opposed to double tortillas, so the filling to tortilla ratio feels a lot more balanced. For both tacos, the meat is incredibly tender and flavorful. Although a bunch of sauces and garnishes are provided, the taco was good enough on its own. Of the sauces we received, my favorites to add was a squeeze of lime and the red sauce, which had a nice smokey Chipotle flavor and wasn't overly spicy. My friend ordered a quesadilla and it was absolutely massive! I definitely would only recommending ordering a quesadilla if you're sharing it, or if you're coming with a massive appetite. Overall, Tacos El Sazón Oaxaqueño was a nice gem we randomly stumbled upon while routing to In-N-Out for burgers.
