    Nieves De Garrafa is operated from a single family home with a white picket fence in Chula Vista, so driving up I was a little confused until I saw the big signs for scoop pricing. There were lawn games like oversized Jenga and Tetris Tumblr, and places to sit in the shade and also sun. Ordering and being served was pretty quick, I think we were in and out in 5 minutes. I got a double scoop, Limon on top of Mango, topped with tajin, chamoy, and one more thing which I forgot. It was DELICIOUS!!! The consistency was soOooOooo smooth, soft, and silky!! I actually really like this place better than Tocumbo specifically because of the consistency. It's like silky sorbet packed with natural flavors which is perfect for these hot summer days. If they were closer to where I live I would be back daily in a heartbeat. Highly recommend this spot!!

    I love this place. It's at their house. Ice cream made of just fruit and sugar. I love the mango, the lemon, watermelon, and the orange.

    Such a cute set up. Very fresh and flavorful. Not full of nasty additives. Great customer service. Support your local small business!

    I looooveee nieve de garrafa! I was so happy to find a place in SD that offers many flavors. A lot of the fruterias either don't have nieve de garrafa or only have mango or lime. Once I got here, I just messaged them on IG and placed my order. If you know you're coming here in advance I'd recommend msging them before so they have it ready when you come. They have good flavors and don't taste overly sweetened. Their prices are affordable and not overpriced at all. They take multiple forms of payment and also do events as well. I look forward to when they will have guava!! The small 1 cup is perfect for small kids or to sample different flavors! I appreciated them giving extra spoons/napkins/chamoy when you order pints/liters! Definitely will be ordering more once I go through my liter of mango!

    I was looking for some ice cream in the later evening and happened to find this place online. Honestly, I'm super that happy I did b/c it was so good. Ice cream: The texture of the ice cream was smooth, it wasn't overly sweet and the flavors were spot on, I felt like I was in Mexico. We ordered a single scoop of Jamaica and then a double scoop with the pepino w/ lime and watermelon diablito style. I wish I ordered a pint instead! Service: the young man who took our order was friendly and we got our order pretty quickly. I do recommend checking out their IG page before hand for instructions on how to order btw, just so it's easier. Atmosphere: there are a couple tables and seats outside. The set up is cute and fun. I definitely want to come earlier next time b/c they have giant games like cross 4, guess who, etc. so you can play with family or friends. This place is definitely worth the visit and I can't wait to come back!

    Nieve de garrafa de tamarindo. Didn't wait to take a photo before eating some of it.

    A gem tucked away. If you love a good authentic nieve de garrafa this is your spot. The nieve is so refreshing, you can tell it's natural and none of the artificial or syrup flavorings. I've tried the tamarindo, limón, and Jamaica and all were delishhhhhh! I even bought a pint of the limón and after I stored it in the freezer and let it thaw for 20-30 min (as instructed), it was almost like it was just freshly made.
