    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!

    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

    Same Yogurt. Prices are equivalent to other Froyo places. But, as of June, 2026, they no longer…read morehave a rewards system.

    972 Admiral Callaghan Ln, Ste G Vallejo, CA 94591…read more "Froyo Max" is a small self-service, pay by weight, frozen yogurt shop in the Target Shopping Center. It has free parking, and is located next door to the Panda Express. Now, based upon the floor layout of Froyo Max, I will guess this used to be a Menchie's Frozen Yogurt location. As a Yelper, I have reviewed 35-40 fro-yo places in the SF Bay Region, and have been to 4 Menchie's. I visited Froyo Max on a Saturday during Labor Day weekend. Temps were hovering around 90*F with no wind. It was 5pm, and the place was busy. Lots of people inside, so I got in line. Observations: - two ladies working behind the counter - all the cups are the same size - hand sanitizer available - six machines, but only five are working - standard dry,wet, and liquid toppings. Nothing special. - they have pre-packed products to go. - only 2 tables inside, no tables outside. - NO SAMPLES Froyo Max had all my favorite flavors....Pineapple, mango, Lemonade, Strawberry, and Passion Fruit/ Guava. I topped it with jelly balls and caramel syrup. Aug 2025: Price per Ounce is 84 cents/oz. The frozen yogurt was very good, and top quality. It stood up well against 90*F heat for at least 5-10 minutes. Very good flavor, icy cold, and no chalky after taste. I really liked the Strawberry fro-yo. It was super creamy like soft serve ice cream. Rich creamy texture! Big negative, they don't open until 1pm?! I will agree with the other reviewer, it's not cool to open so late. Most fro-yo places open by 12 noon. Other negs, limited seating and no sampling. But, you have very good frozen yogurt, and I will return if I'm in the area.
