After grabbing dinner at Kaizen Shabu Shabu nearby, my date and I came to La Michocana Express for desserts. I have to say, it was a bit hot and muggy inside considering this is an ice cream shop. There was no other customers in front of us, so service was quick and helpful. We decided to share a Double Scoop ($6) with Soursop and Pistachio... and in retrospect this was too big, even for two people to share. The texture was on the melty side even as they just scooped it and handed it to us. It also melted quickly as it was exposed to the elements. I don't really like my ice cream too melted. They have some tables outside, but they are dirty, sticky and not well kept. I had my trusty wet wipes with me to wipe down the table we decided to sit down at and even after the first swipe, you can see the wet wipe turn black. Super gross. On the positive side, I really like seeing soursop on the menu, as it is a rare fruit only available in areas with tropical weather. Since my family came from Vietnam, it is one of the native fruits that brings nostalgia to me. And the pistachio tasted like there were real pistachio in the ice cream. Taste is fine but the texture kills me. We were unable to finish the ice cream. Based on desserts in the area or even similar Michocanas, I feel like this one is below par. I would not be interested in coming back in the future.

Unbelievable $4 for 1 paleta.

Unbelievable $4 for 1 paleta. The girl first asked me if I was paying cash or card which made me ask her how much and she said cash $4. + 0 customer skills

Agua de jamaica

Normalmente no acostumbro a escribir reviews pero la semana pasada fui 2 veces a la michoacana. El jueves compre 4 aguas frescas de limón y estaban deliciosas. El viernes regresé a comprar 3 pero no había de limón así que compre de fresa de leche y cuando la probamos están echadas a perder. aparentemente las aguas frescas no son frescas como que ya tenías muchos días ahí. La jamaica no es roja es café y de tanto hielo ya no sabe a nada. Del costumer service ni hablar Que parese Que los empleados están de mal humor.

We love this spot!! We always come here for yummy treats we all love. Fresas con crema, esquite, hoy cheetos con queso, and all the different paletas!!! Such a cute place and always clean! Love that they have a patio area to come and sit.

I hate that the pistachio ice cream didn't taste as I wanted it too! Waaaaaa I absolutely hate when they fuck with the taste of my favorite ice cream. I mean it was good but it had an off taste to it. The hot Cheeto esquites were dank tho! I want some more if anything

Cauldron is amazing!…read more Used to enjoy the San Diego location frequently but they went out of business a few years ago. Was in the area this evening after a kids event and grabbed some Cauldron. Still fantastic! Made fresh, super creamy and delicious! My wife got the Puffle with Milk & Cereal flavor, enjoyed it a ton. Kids and I all got mint chocolate chip, VERY creamy with big chunks of chocolate. Wish we had one closer to home! Highly recommend.

From the ads and pictures everything seemed cool. The way they make ice cream is unique and I'll…read moregive it that. So let's get to it. We ordered three things; mint chocolate chip, rose, and milk and cereal. All with a bubble waffle cone. The service was disappointing, the guy who worked there seemed like he didn't care and it was just another job. No life to him and was just rude about asking the code for the bathroom. The mint and chip is basic. Nothing too much about it. My kids like it, so I got it. Average 3/5. The rose ice cream tasted like a rose, it was pretty good and very floral. The disappointing part is I was hoping the ice cream would be shaped like a rose as depicted on the picture. Nope, just a scoop and left it as is. 5/5 for taste and 0/5 for presentation. The milk and cereal one was actually pretty good. Especially with Frosted Flakes in it. It literally taste like cereal. 5/5. I would give it a higher star if the service complimented it and th presentation of the rose ice cream did.

Milk & cereal! Since it's made fresh to order with liquid nitrogen, it takes forever to melt!..unlike at that other place..

This. Place. Is. Adorable!…read more We specifically drove here after a staycation in Newport Beach and we so were glad we did! Upon entering, we were greeted right away and were asked if we had any questions. My daughter immediately saw the cat and said she wanted that one. She chose the Milk & Oreo gelato as the base and asked if she could get it in a cone. Within minutes, it was in her hand and was devoured minutes after that and I was only able to get a small bite! It was definitely tasty! Will have to get one for myself next time. When we went, there were so many families coming into the store and everyone got a warm welcome. The locals love this place and so do we.

I stopped by and had to try the "Alien Baby" (Baby Yoda) cone, and it did not disappoint! The shop is famous for its handcrafted character scoops. Seeing the staff transform a regular scoop of gelato into a masterpiece with ears and eyes in just a few minutes is like watching edible art come to life.  I went with a green base to keep the Baby Yoda theme authentic. They offer a few great green options like:  * Pistachio * Matcha I went with pandan it's a coconut flavor and the prices are amazing $5.50

Food: Okay, you cannot go wrong with Handel's! There are so many flavors to choose from! My…read morefavorites are the Brownie Dough and S'mores! No matter what flavors you're into, there will definitely be an ice cream here you'll enjoy. On Tuesdays, ice cream is 50% off, and I highly recommend you try the four-scoop sampler, as for a little over $7, you get four scoops of ice cream. Great to share with friends! Service: The Handel's servers are crowded, even in times of high crowds. Also, please don't leave after seeing a long line, as the line moves quickly! Ambiance: This is your classic ice cream shop with no tables to sit inside. However, Handel's is located in a larger shopping complex, so there are tables right outside of Handel's, and at night, they turn on their heaters. This is a great spot to hang out with your friends and share a four-scoop sampler!

The quality across all flavors--notably Blue Monster, Taro, Pistachio, and Birthday Cake--was exceptional. The sampler format is highly recommended for groups seeking a comprehensive tasting experience. I would like to formally recognize NATHAN for his outstanding service. He conducted himself with a high degree of professionalism, exhibiting patience and a personable demeanor that significantly enhanced our visit. It is evident that he is a dedicated member of the team, and his performance was truly memorable. Service Rating: 5/5 - NATHAN is a significant asset to this location and should be recognized for his contributions to customer satisfaction. Product Rating: 5/5 - Excellent consistency and flavor profile. Expansion Potential: There is a clear market opportunity for this brand in the San Francisco area. This location maintains high standards for both product and personnel. I intend to return during my next visit and will continue to recommend Handel's to others.
