If you have never tried a Paleta (mexican ice cream/fruit bar) take a moment a visit Paleteria Azteca. Unbelievable assortment of cream/milk and water/juice bars, You will be surprised by the flavors and unique combinations (Tequila Almond -WOW!) , and ice cream 2! and compared to other ice cream shops in the area, you know who i am talking about ;-), this place is a bargain! The only issue is parking, park in the shopping center behind where Taco Factory is on Newport Ave and you should be good! And if you want to be prepared, bring a ice chest, you wont be disappointed! read more

This place is a hidden gem! The most delicious assortment of ice cream and popsicles, and the kindest family run business! Everything is hand made at the store and with great craft and care. The mom, brother and sister were in the front when we were there and very patient and kind with our two overly excited young boys. We will be going back regularly!!! read more

See all

I love this place, so many wonderful paletas to choose from, they have a wide variety of ice creams, and the best are the tostilocos. Sometimes I just get cut up pepino and jicama with chile, limon and salt, so good. It's very refreshing and nice service. read more

Lots of different flavors and service is always amazing! Each bar is about $2, and it's just a very nice simple, summer treat.

Amazing!!! So glad we found this place. They offer so many different treats from water base to milk base. They even have an horchata flavored paleta which I really love. This place is fairly new and all family operated. I would recommend this place if you want a mexican treat and great service. read more

Must try this place. We went for the paletas (popsicles). They have a great selection of water based and milk based Popsicles. We tried Strawberries and cream, caramel, guava, and avocado milk based ones. All were good and not overly sweet. For just over $2 each, it's quite a bargain. Service could be slow though. read more

Omg! Best Paletas everrrrr!!! I've been here twice and the second time I had to being a cooler and take some to my family because they were delicious! read more

This family run shop has become my go-to dessert destination. If you like spice, I would recommend all the chile flavors! Pineapple chile, mango chile and the cucumber with chamoy are my favorite paleta flavors. I'll definitely be visiting more often come summer! read more

My go-to paleteria! Love the nuez paletas and mangonadas! They have water and milk based paletas with so many different flavors.

Wow!! I really love paletas. They're so refreshing. This place makes beautiful and delicious paletas. The flavor assortment is mind blowing. They also have amazing ice cream ready to scoop and eat alone, in a sundae, or even a banana split. And, of course, the mangonada... with the spice powder (sorry, don't know what it's called).. as good as it gets. My big family ordered an assortment of paletas, ice cream, and mangonada. Then, we sat on the sidewalk on an August evening experiencing the ideal summer evening in southern CA. Tamarind ice cream is amazing! The coffee ice cream is also delicious. Cucumber, pistachio, strawberries and cream paletas all so beautiful and refreshing. Definitely coming back for more! read more

Everything about this mom and pop(sicle) shop is five star. Anyone with $2 in their pocket CAN buy happiness on a stick. Bring your family. Bring your friends. We need businesses like this to thrive. I hope they take over the world - one popsicle at a time... Rum raisin rocked my world. read more

Great paletería! The prices are a little high but I can't say it's overpriced considering the wide variety of paletas and ice cream made with natural fresh fruits. This family owned business is always maintained clean and are happy to describe the different flavors to ensure you are happy with your purchase. I'm always a happy camper after visiting this yummy place! read more

I am a strong supporter of small business. I have the highest respect for those who start their own businesses. I have come to really admire those that work day in and day out to provide a quality product. This family business is a jewel. The young lady helping me was so helpful and so informative. She knew all about the process the beginning and everything beyond. She was a breath of fresh air as she took her time going over the menu and the ingredients used. Most people barely want to greet you with a hello. She was very engaging and so nice. These palentas were so refreshing and had real fruit and were not overly sweet. The balance was perfect. We will be back as this was pleasant surprise. Your parents and grandpa should be so proud of you Five stars also for how super clean this business is considering the outside needs some help.^__^ read more

I love this place! We usually come once a week, especially on hot Summer days. We get mangoniadas, ice cream, and paletas, all in one sitting to store for the week! read more

This place doesn't even deserve one star. I paid $4 for the smallest cup of corn that had no flavor whatsoever it was really a waste of my money read more

Great service, paletas are really good!! creamy, lots of flavors. Mangoneadas are a little different than other places that doesn't mean they're not good they're freaking DELICIOUS!!! And you can never go wrong with tostilocos. Every time we go there they always greet us with a smile that makes us feel very welcome. read more

Super fresh and friendly service. The gansito ice cream and pineapple with chile paleta are a must try!

Best place for Mexican popsicles in town. So many choices. I can't wait to go back to try more flavors. Soooo good.

The paletas here are amazing. They have a lot of water and milk based choices, which their display is beautiful just to even look at. The paletas that I got were very fresh and flavorful. The watermelon with chile paleta was especially good, with a nice kick of spicy to it. The tamarind was the perfect amount of sweet. I also got guava, soursop, passion fruit with kiwi, and mango, which I can't wait to try. The customer service was amazing, and the owners really take their time with you while you are trying to make a choice. I would definitely recommend this place. I will definitely be back again! read more

Popsicles with chunks of real fruit in it! Delicious and not expensive too. What a great find! This has to be the best deal on ice cream in the OC. read more

I was craving hot Cheetos with nacho cheese and this delivered! I felt the nacho cheese was a bit on the watery side though. Also had a fresas con crema paleta. Good but had a slight artificially vanilla flavor in my opinion. Since my favorite paleta joint is almost in la, this place is a good alternative! read more

Delicious treats, we visited 3 times the first week we discovered this place!! :-) Yummy, good prices and the service is very pleasant. My kids would like to visit everyday read more

I order a paleta chongo it was when I purchase it it was melting and it told me that that my hands was worn by thing is the product that I purchase it but thank thankful they change it with no questions asked I don't like this disappointed on a product read more

This place was really cool. ice cream by the scoop and ice cream bars all made in house. with real ingredients all very reasonably priced. Some of the flavors that stuck out to me were Rompope (rum rasin), guave, coconut. Too many to remember but the girl who was working at the counter was really super helpful. She seemed passionate about the product that she is making and selling. Great expierience i would go back. There was one down side which is not a huge deal but there is no seating...... none... like not even one chair haha, so you got to take it to go i guess but still an awesome place. read more

This family run business is amazing. The variety of "paleta" flavors is the best I have seen in Orange County. There is wide assortment of water based and cream based flavors. They also have be best "mangoneadas" in town! I highly recommend multiple visits, so you can try their variety! read more

Kids had mango, grape, we had mango con chilli, tamarind con chilli. Absolutely delicious!!!! Huge selection of popsicles and the place is very clean. There're many ice cream joints in town but this is the one I'll go back again just so I can try other flavours! You must go give this little place a try! read more

Found out about this place a few months ago and we've been coming here ever since. We love trying all the different flavored popsicles and the staff are all so friendly. read more

Found this little gem on the way home today! I ordered a milkshake which was reasonably priced considering it comes with your choice of flavors of 2 VERY generous scoops of ice cream, drizzled chocolate syrup on the rim, and topped with whip cream! Love this place!! read more

There are very few places I can actually say that I'm absolutely returning and this is one... I'm not the biggest fan of Mexican ice cream (probably because no even the real stuff in mexico suites my taste buds) but this place has really got some delicous stuff! I had the tamarindo ice cream and if you like sweet and sour, like pucker sour, this is delicious. They're staff is friendly and willing RI let you try a few flavors before you pick the best one you like. Oh and did I mention they have Popsicles? Omg, there is sooo many to choose from, you won't be dissapointed. I highly recommend this lil place! The only thing that is kind of strange, is they don't have any seating. I didn't mind eating mine on my way home though.... read more

They have actual fresh made ice cream and paletas that make it seem as if it is straight from Mexico
