This was my first time trying a Mango & Tamarind Neada, and needless to say this was SOOO refreshing! It's similar to a Mangonada but it's topped with candies and more sorbet. Service was quick and friendly, I was in and out in less than 10 mins (not including the time deciding on which one to try). Anyways, I definitely recommend y'all stop by and grab a dessert to go, they accept credit cards which is definitely a plus! read more

It says they take credit cards but really, they take Zelle. I got 3 of the mangonada ice cream version. It came out to $24. I thought it was expensive for the amount of got. I didn't know if it was because there were 2 other people behind me but I felt like I got less then what I've seen in other pictures. I'll probably try the mangonada next time. The lady who helped me was very nice though. read more

Such a hidden gem. 1. I've never had a mangonada before today and I'm so happy that my first one was from here. 2. Weather was warm and line was long, but the wait wasn't too bad. 3. The mangonada was $5 and it was a pretty hefty amount. 4. I love the mango sherbert/ice cream with the chamoy. The sherbert has a very mellow mango flavor, but is instantly brought out with the chamoy. The texture of it is nice too! Not too icey and not creamy at all. 5. The little pieces of candy are so good too. I love how chewy they are. read more

I was originally looking for a place that served the Mexican fruit cups often with jicama, mango, and pineapple with lime juice and chile powder. Instead, I discovered the mangonada. Not quite a drink unless you let the sorbet on the bottom melt, it is then topped with mango, chamoy sauce, lime, chile, and a tamarind straw. A nice blend of sweet and tart to enjoy on a hot day but be prepare to wait as the line gets long at this small spot in a strip mall (same one as Marita's) that only boasts 2-3 tables. read more

I was craving some ice cream after dinner, so I decided to pay Paleteria El Plebe a visit. One scoop of cookies and cream ice cream was $4, and the scoop was MASSIVE (hence the extra star). But the ice cream itself was not good at all. It tasted like a mix of freezer and Dreyer's ice cream, which I absolutely did not like. I'm pretty certain they don't make their ice cream in house unlike other palaterias. I also arrived at 8:40pm; they took me as their last customer and shut the door afterwards. Their Yelp and hours of operations on their door says they close at 9pm though. From what I'm reading in other reviews, I'm guessing they close and open whenever they want to? read more

So las Locas returned and surprised us with two piña Locas. It was delish! The pineapple was sweet and yummy and it had chunks of watermelon and jicama and a tamarindo stick and lots of chamoy.

Came here on a raining day for a mangonada. Yes ice cream in the cold weather cause it was that much of a craving. The mangonada was good and hit the spot. The ice cream was more icy than creamy which I like but my kids didn't. They have a bottle of chamoy sauce available so you can add more, add as much as you want. There are bits of chewy tamarind candy which is a nice change from other locations I have been to. The service was fast and friendly.

Favorite thing about this place is the big fan at yhe entrance; perfect for this weather. Mangonadas are my favorite they are only $5 and worth every penny of it. I have gone to other places and bought a $5 mangonada as well but the portion from El Plebe is 2 times bigger than other places. Go get your Mangonada now! :) read more

Hubby and I ordered the waffle with ice cream and a hybrid between the mangonada and diablito. It was amazing!!! My husband scarfed down his waffle. In my hybrid, the sorbet was delicious, the mangos were fresh and the tamarind juice was very flavorful. But my favorite part about my experience was the customer service. We actually walked in after closing because the hours on yelp were incorrect and they still took our order. They let us try different ice cream/sorbet flavors and really took time to explain what each item was. Delicious dessert, excellent service, and good prices-I highly recommend this place! read more

It gives off such a welcoming, community-centered vibe -- like they genuinely want people to come in, enjoy good food and drinks, hang out, relax, and just have a good time. I was indecisive while ordering because there's just too many goodies to choose from and IK that can be annoying, but we had great service because the guy that took our order was patient and seen that my struggles was most definitely real . We ordered mozzarella sticks, popcorn chicken, curly fries, and two large Thai teas -- one with green apple jelly topping, which paired sooo well to me hehe. We don't eat out much because we cook at home nowadays, so when we do, we wanna enjoy the classics lol. It's actually really cool seeing how the place has evolved over the years. The very first time we came, the back area looked like this cute little library/study hall/tutoring/game/hangout room. Then a couple years into the COVID days, it turned into a unique snack and gift shop vibe. Now it's this awesome mini arcade/lounge setup with comfy seating, sports on TV, and really great food (savory & sweets) and drinks. And the food is SOLID. Even on my last mozzarella stick, I still had a cheese pull -- and it had already been at least like 20-30 minutes. That says a lot on the quality. What also makes this place stand out is the little acts of kindness. Part of their service is while we were already getting busy, grubbing, they randomly offered us a complimentary yummy, soft, and fluffy eggette on a stick with their condensed milk sauce, which gave me that feeling like how a love one would just randomly give something very sweet just because. I don't go out much anymore, but if I'm craving for some outside sweets and treats oh and almost forgot to mention how pretty affordable for the quality and portions we got for our meal, I'm def bringing my nieces n nephews here when they visit! I love the different chairs, décor, games, ambiance, food, and drinks! They keep everything so clean, neat, and organized at the station from where you sanitize your hands, grab your napkins, straws and condiments-- it genuinely feels like there's something here for everyone.

It made the world of difference as the ice cream was smooth and creamy, a mix of the cheesecake 'crust' with strawberries and bits of the cheesecake filling. I would get this again. Being a huge Magic shell fan, it wasn't enough and I didn't want to walk back to get another squirt of two for my remaining ice cream. Might be better with the more liquid or dry toppings. With summer almost upon us, this is a welcome addition to the Saturday market especially on the balmy warm Saturdays. Big thanks to Demetri for showing me the ropes and sharing their background with me. Will be back as the weather warms.

We got some produce and all of it looked good, not wilted or sad, so I was very impressed. We took the fish home and it was so much better than we've had at other places. It was crispy, salted perfectly and it was really good. Pretty sure we found our go-to for fried fish!

It gives off such a welcoming, community-centered vibe -- like they genuinely want people to come in, enjoy good food and drinks, hang out, relax, and just have a good time. I was indecisive while ordering because there's just too many goodies to choose from and IK that can be annoying, but we had great service because the guy that took our order was patient and seen that my struggles was most definitely real . We ordered mozzarella sticks, popcorn chicken, curly fries, and two large Thai teas -- one with green apple jelly topping, which paired sooo well to me hehe. We don't eat out much because we cook at home nowadays, so when we do, we wanna enjoy the classics lol. It's actually really cool seeing how the place has evolved over the years. The very first time we came, the back area looked like this cute little library/study hall/tutoring/game/hangout room. Then a couple years into the COVID days, it turned into a unique snack and gift shop vibe. Now it's this awesome mini arcade/lounge setup with comfy seating, sports on TV, and really great food (savory & sweets) and drinks. And the food is SOLID. Even on my last mozzarella stick, I still had a cheese pull -- and it had already been at least like 20-30 minutes. That says a lot on the quality. What also makes this place stand out is the little acts of kindness. Part of their service is while we were already getting busy, grubbing, they randomly offered us a complimentary yummy, soft, and fluffy eggette on a stick with their condensed milk sauce, which gave me that feeling like how a love one would just randomly give something very sweet just because. I don't go out much anymore, but if I'm craving for some outside sweets and treats oh and almost forgot to mention how pretty affordable for the quality and portions we got for our meal, I'm def bringing my nieces n nephews here when they visit! I love the different chairs, décor, games, ambiance, food, and drinks! They keep everything so clean, neat, and organized at the station from where you sanitize your hands, grab your napkins, straws and condiments-- it genuinely feels like there's something here for everyone. You HAVE to find at least one thing you'll enjoy here!
