I got the turkey sandwich combo and it was delicious. The ingredients were fresh and the bread was amazing

Food was delicious, service was excellent! We had the strawberry flavored ice cream. It definitely had real strawberries in it.

Mateo's ice cream is a humble shop in a small parking lot, it's easy to walk by if you don't know what you're looking for. That have two small tables inside and a handful of seats in a separate section outside. The selection is vast! They have all kinds of popsicles, frozen bananas, and many many different types of ice cream. We tried several flavors and I got an agua Fresca--I highly recommend the pina-limon flavor but remember the large is extremely large LOL so you better be thirsty. read more

Located in a strip mall, Mateo's Ice Cream and Fruit Bar can be found on the corner with plenty of parking around. There's quite an extensive menu: bionicos, frozen banana, ice cream, paletas, sundaes, etc. After taste testing some of the unique flavors like leche quemada, horchata, passion fruit, etc. I ended up getting the strawberries and cream and cookies and cream for $6. Ice cream was creamy and flavorful. Perfect dessert to beat the summer heat. read more

Excellent array of choices of fruit bars, ice creams,, sandwich combos, sundaes, smoothies, shakes and juices. Very good service as the lines are out the door sometimes. Nice, clean ambiance with only 3 tables each with two seats. Good prices. Liked my chocolate ice cream. read more

Went to Mateo's Ice Cream & Fruit Bars on 1250 S Vermont Ave in Los Angeles, This is the first time that I have come to this location. I usually go to the Culver City location that's on 4929 Sepulveda Blvd. The service was great, the ladies working here had great communication and were quick with their work. I got a leche quemada paleta, and my friend that I came with got leche quemada and coffee ice cream. She wasn't a big fan of the leche quemada, but I thought it tasted pretty good. The Ambiance was pretty great, too. Even though it was in a comfortable atmosphere. They do have a parking lot, and it's free parking. Hope this review helps you guys! read more

Staff was friendly and service was fast. The food was fresh and the store was clean. I had a good experience and would come back again.

Fantastic ice cream locale ala Mexico. The service is fast, the ambiance is well lighted and friendly with very limited seating read more

Never had an issue with Mateo's. I usually go to the one on Crenshaw. Service is always good there. But at this location the employees ignore you and attend the locals first even if you were there first. I walked out. read more

Ice cream was so damn good I I had it twice in the same sitting! So I was out and about with one of my good friends and his 2 lil sons and it was the youngest who doesn't talk much, was craving la paletas! I did have some Mexican style ice cream a while back in Georgia and had an awesome experience so I was all in on going here. Nonetheless when I entered I was immediately loving the flavors and colors and the vibe inside. I managed to get a tasting of the flavors I was curious about and ended up with my usual strawberry and cookies and cream... all I have to say is that ice cream was silky smooth. I couldn't stop eating it. My friend bought bars for his 2 boys and himself. I started eyeing those bars and by the time I was done with my usual, I had to have more !! We did a 2nd round of bars and I had that exotic orange colored fruit bar... it was superb ! Texture and flavor , the mouthfeel and in this heat it was cielo !! Service, of course, with a smile; I saw families coming in and leaving satisfied. Even though there are multiple locations , I'm gonna treat Mateo as my hidden gem the next time I fly in to LA. read more

never going here again. they took so long and they were so rude never again disgusting

The strawberry orange mango smoothie is my go to! The chocobanano with peanuts is also great. The line can get a little long and parking on the weekends is tough. read more

So each time I am conducting business in this Plaza I happen to see a line for this shop always. My curiosity has been sparked. This colorful, small shop serves, as the signage states, ice cream and fruit bars. They are set apart by the fact that they use real fruit and they make their own products, I mean real food here, no hard to pronounce ingredients. I was also told that they sell really amazing delicious tortas/sandwiched, especially the chicken. So I bliged and tried it. It was well made, the baguette - crispy with that baguette smell, you know, there was lettuce, tomatoes and cucumbers so it was not only refreshing, colorful but clean on the palate with the sliced roasted chicken breast. I highly recommend this shop for your sweet tooth and sandwich craving. Oh and they serve milk and water based ice creams and bars, so fantastic. Oh and they serve fresh fruit with the sandwiches. read more

Delicious paletas and ice cream. Can't await to go back and try more flavors. I had the coconut paleta!!!

I ordered the choco banana with peanuts and a paleta de coco. Despite how busy it was, I was attended pretty quickly and the employees were friendly. They were very attentive to see what customers had been attended and which were still waiting to order. which made the line move quicker. The business is pretty small inside, but people came in and out quickly. read more

LECHE QUEMADAAAAAAAAAAA. That's it. That's the whole review. Oh wait. Paletas too. Get them. Sapote negro. Fresa. Chunks of fruit. Sweet, refreshing, delicious. Oh, also other flavors! Rompope. Nuez. Drooling. Gimme a scoop. Or five. Biónicos. Tortas. I guess there was more to the review after all. Everything at every single location of Mateo's is great and they deserve all of your dollars. read more

Great price and delicious items. The staff is always nice and welcoming. It's hard to pick a favorite when everything is so good! read more

If I could give 10 stars, I would. Mateo's is simply wonderful. The line that goes out the door should be proof enough. The flavors are to die for and the plethora of options makes for a fun time ordering. Today, my wife and I each ordered a double scoop with mango and strawberry. Our plan was to drive around while we ate it. Yeah, we barely made it to the car without inhaling. We sat in the car and ate it so fast we had a couple breaks to cure the throat freeze. Go here now. Stop what you're doing and go. read more

Super good and soft! Has lots of flavor! Service is nice and fast! The down side is there isn't much sitting areas and it gets crowded but don't worry like I said fast service. They also offer samples so try all the FLAVORS!! read more

This place is located in a not so great neighborhood and easy to miss but what they offer is worth the trip. Amazing selection of popsicles and ice-cream. Friendly staff and quick service. They were happy to give samples and answered questions for newbies like myself. Totally coming back for other flavors. Smoked milk ice-cream was interesting and a must try if you've never had it before. read more

This place is amazing! The sandwich was delicious and went down great with the green juice. I have recommended it to all my coworkers.

So many paletas and ice creams to choose from!!! The containers that they give you the paletas in is overkill and I wish they ask if you wanted it bc I ate it straight away. Anyhow the rice pudding paleta was delicious and I'm looking forward to trying more flavors from one of their several locations. read more

Their bionicos are great and their chicken sandwich is awesome. Mateo's fruit bars are fantastic as well.

Mateos ice cream & fruit bars offers a great variety of flavors ice cream and Nieves (Spanish for gelato?). Their flavors are unique, refreshing and delicious! I've been a customer since I was 8 when I used to live in the neighborhood. I now reside in San Pedro and yes I do make time to visit them every time I'm around LA. I definitely would choose Mateos over LA MICHOACANA anytime. The only downside at Mateos is their customer service (why I gave this review 4 out of 5 stars) Do not expect to find your high delighted ambiance that you get at Starbucks or Jamba Juice. Their staff at all their locations just seem very vague and neutral. Having that said their ice cream bars compensate for that. I definitely recommend Mateos ice cream bars! :) read more
