Some Flavors
Winn H.

Came here for two scoops of ice cream, and wow was it delicious! Michoacana has so many desserts available that I'll need to return to try all the others... and there are so many flavors, too! On this visit, I had the pistachio and strawberry shortcake. Eating it was a tad messy, though, as the ice cream somehow melted to the outside of the cup, perhaps through the lid not sealing well. Of course, they also have numerous paletas with unique flavors (eg avocado) and that barely even scratches the surface of their more, larger, dessert items to share with friends. Service was quick, and seating (and space) was plentiful. The line conveniently wraps around all the freezers, so you won't be able to miss any of their items. Definitely worth a visit!

Bionico
Jason Y.

If you are craving desserts past 11pm there are very little options in the area. Michoacana closes at midnight every day so this would be a good option. They serve ice cream, ice cream bars, crepes, funnel cake, bionicos and many more items. They have over 30 different ice cream flavors to choose from and their small size allows you to pick 2 flavors. I tried to bionico today since I wanted a healthy alternative. It was yogurt with apples, bananas, pineapples with raisins and coconut on top. The fruit was tangy and sweet and paired well with the yogurt. Their prices are comparable to places around the area. Small ice cream was $6.99 and the bionico was about $12.

Terrible!

I was very disappointed with my esquite. They only put mayo on the side of the cup and none at the top. There was only a small dash of cheese. Their fresa agua fresca was good but overpriced.

Had to come back for their churro and a mano paleta because I got their funnel cake last time. They were busy, but we were greeted and thanked for our patience. I must say, I was highly disappointed in the churro and it wasn't worth $3.99 imho. It wasn't fresh like their funnel cake. I bit into it thinking it would be fluffy , but it felt like I bit into a hard shelled candy. I enjoyed the paleta way more and their funnel cake. Their shakes were great from what my husband and friend told me. They had flavors that other dessert shops dont have. Such as abuelita and mascapone? I will be back to try their agua frescas next time and maybe another dessert. Plus, hopefully I will remember to show them this review.

Menu options

Food was amazing and quick service, would definitely come back. Wide variety of choices. Nice music inside and nice staff.

This was so cute! I love the variety of the place, and the freshness of the food. The server was super attentive, and very friendly. She recommended ice cream and I am lowkey regretting not listening. There was a lot of variety and really yummy treats listed. I loved the catchy music in the air while you wait, which wasn't long! I definitely enjoyed it. Can't wait to come back and try the churros.

Came here got great food and absolutely the best out there

Got here and received a great deal at a very fair price. The staff was friendly, professional, and made the whole process easy and stress-free. They went above and beyond to make sure I was satisfied and answered all of my questions. I never felt pressured, and they took the time to explain everything clearly. Excellent customer service, great value, and an overall outstanding experience. I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for quality service and a great price.

It was the monster mash ice cream.

Service was good. This place has many ice cream flavors . This is my second time here, I went with their funnel cake and vanilla flavors. It was really good! Best location I've gone to

My eldest daughter and I were at Monty's Alhambra getting some of their amazingly delicious fried chicken and waffle. While we were waiting for our order, we walked over to La Michoacana + Mexican Foods right next door. I know they sell ice cream, snacks, and drinks, but first time seeing them paired with Mexican foods. It's actually a great combo! It's probably the largest La Michoacana that I've ever been to. Lots of inside seating. They have a good number of ice cream flavors in milk-based and water-based. I prefer the milk-based more because of the creaminess of the ice cream. The water-based is probably healthier though. They also had milk and water-based ice cream bars plus agua frescas. There were other snack items, too. I didn't check out the Mexican foods section... maybe next time I will. Staff was really nice and pleasant. The young lady said I could try all the flavors if I wanted to. I said cool, but I didn't. I sampled about 5 to 6 ice cream flavors and a couple agua frescas flavors. It's great to be able to try flavors before deciding on what I want to buy. Thank you! After all my samplings, I went with two small cups each with two ice cream flavors... one with strawberry cheesecake and oreo milk-based, the other one with jamaica and watermelon water-based. I also got two small cups of agua frescas... one with cucumber lime, the other one with watermelon. I enjoyed the milk-based ice cream very much. So sweet and yummy! For some reason, the water-based ones didn't taste as good as the sampling. Oh well. Both agua frescas were refreshing and delightful. Cucumber lime is the best out of the two! Prices are very reasonable. Parking is limited because they share the parking lot with other businesses on a small corner lot. Try to come here during non-peak hours. There may be street parking adjacent to the lot, but not 100% sure. Please check for signs. We'll definitely be back here whenever we're picking up fried chicken and waffles. If you're a La Michoacana fan or a potential fan in waiting, wait no longer. This place is the one for you! See you here!!

Had the pleasure of speaking with management and I agreed to give them another try so I returned yesterday. And this visit was a way better experience than the first. Parking was tough this time but I heard some good music as I was approaching the entrance. Immediately I was greeted or acknowledged by everyone. The employees were very joyful and enthused to assist me with whatever I needed. Good and positive energy indeed. Decided to just go with the traditional way of how they make their funnel cakes and also some more queso Birria tacos. Can't forget the concome... The service was phenomenal !!! Not only did our orders come out fresh and hot but we also had the pleasure of having good conversations with Kevin and Ana while we waited. They really are some great people. The food came out better than expected. Food looked and smelled so amazing. Had to sample the funnel cake before pulling off lol. The tacos were so good. Should've ordered more than 3. I was very pleased with everything though. No complaints at all. I really enjoyed the experience from the moment I entered to when I left. I will be returning. I definitely recommend stopping by if you're ever in the area. I don't stay close but I can definitely see myself taking a drive just to come here for the phenomenal customer service and food. Thank you. I appreciate it.

Paletas n raspado

Fast service and delicious treats! Everythimg tasted great. Yummy! It was perfect for after award ceremony.

Freshly made to order funnel cake! (It came with fresh strawberries  but we opted out this time!) sooo yummy!
Steph G.

Overall great experience at this location! 10/10 would recommend and I'm absolutely coming back for more items on their menu!

Carnitas Tacos: The warm corn tortillas contain chopped pork shoulder that has been crisped up on the flattop. The simple dressing of a pickled jalapeno and pickled carrots with cilantro allows you to focus on the flavor of the carnitas. The meat is tender, rich and juicy, while also crispy. Carnitas Mulitas Aporkalypse: If you are really hungry, a mulitas will always hit the spot. Two large tortillas are covered in cheese to form a thin, crispy, cheesy crust that extends past the edges. More gooey cheese is filled between the tortillas, along onions, cilantro, and carnitas. If you select the Aporkalypse, you are signing up for an explosion of flavor that is provided by all the meats. There is an incredible assortment of pork butt, pork belly, pork skin, and burnt ends. The spectrum of textures is unrivaled from soft and succulent to crunchy and shattering. The slow cooking respects the ingredients and offers up the fullest expression of pork flavor. Parking: This location has a large parking lot.

I picked chorizo as my protein option. I also, of course, had to also add the smoky grilled poblano chile for $1.25. It was SO good and FLAVORFUL - it didn't even need the salsas. Although, I will note that both the salsas were lovely. The flour tortilla was clearly freshly made. Also, it was a massive portion. I don't know what I was expecting.
