Paleteria El Sabor De Mexico - chili mango paleta - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

The store had a wide variety of unique and nostalgic ice cream flavors. Besides ice cream, they also have different fresh postres for sale as well- all very tasty. My favorite was the superman ice cream. Prices are very reasonable. They also offer savory bites, such as tamales, but we didn't get to try those. The service was great! The vibe is vibrant and energic, painted with extremely colorful and eye-catching decor. A good place to come in for a small bite in Pilsen. read more

El Sabor de Mexico- this review is a love letter A note about how your food invites me to the sweetest memories I have from Mexico. As a native New Yorker, and someone who frequents this spot when I'm in town, I can't let go of how good this food is. The small bites and fast food here is made so well. Sometimes I sit here and people watch. This spot brings together locals: kids on scooters/ bikes, elderly with newspapers who sit here for hours chatting up the owner or little ones yearning for their cool summer ice cream. It's a sweet touch to the already poppin' Pilsen community. Personally, I love the Agua de Limon y Chia the most. The flautas are crispy and legit, the elote en baso is *chefs kiss*. These staples are hard to mess up, but you wouldn't believe how many others truly do get it wrong. I hope you stay around forever- and if you're in town- please visit this spot. People watch with me. read more

Paleteria El Sabor De Mexico - Agua Fresca! Limón y Chia - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Wow wow I visited El Sabor De Mexico on my last day and it made me want to stay much longer! I had a paleta de fresa (hay opciones para crema o agua- elegí crema). It was so creamy, fresh, full of real strawberry flavor and I was so happy with my choice! I also bought a mangonada which was equally incredible! It was fresh, sweet and very flavorful. They have so many options of paletas, agua frescas and more- you'll want to keep coming back to try more things (I know I do!). At the register I ended up buying a packet of gorditas de nata and they were incredibly fluffy, sweet and just a perfect treat (I've had a hard time finding them in WA). Can't recommend enough and if I'm in Chicago again I'll be excited to visit again! (: read more

This place is amazing. We walked by exactly when I craved ice cream. It was perfect. The service was perfect, the ice cream was perfect. My first time trying elote corn ice cream - so yumm. Rice with milk was extremely tasty, creamy but not too rich. Rum with raisins was my favorite. The cone was perfectly flavored and crunchy. I could have tried all of their ice cream flavors and rolled out. I highly highly recommend this place and would come back instantly! read more

If you're into Mexican ice cream and paletas this is the place for you. I personally tried a couple of flavors, but there is something different about Mexican ice cream and "American" ice cream that throws me off. So instead, I ordered an esquite since there was a sign that these were now available but this was very very runny. The corn tasted fine, but not quite an esquite, there was not much mayo, and while there were jalapeños for some spice, I would have liked the red chili that comes on these savory snacks. Maybe next time they will have perfected the esquite. The space has a couple of tables so might be a cool spot to hang out in the area. The two girls working were nice though. They do accept card, but just know that there is a little fee if the items you purchase are under $10. (I don't remember what the fee was). read more

Came here one night after getting tacos because I was craving ice cream. They have so many different flavors and it's all pretty cheap! Some were very strange to me, as they had corn flavor, cheese flavor, and others I was too afraid to try! The one I got was delicious, although I don't remember what it was called :( (it was written in Spanish) The place was not very busy when I was there as it was a bit rainy and cold outside. There was no line and the girl who helped us was very friendly. I got to take taste tests of a bunch of flavors. I would definitely stop back here, and I plan on trying some of the other flavors next time I'm in this part of town! read more

I've been here a few times and each time I've gotten the mangonada (small for about $5.00, but they packed on a lot of fruit!). A great place to stumble upon for dessert or a snack! The place has a lot of ice cream and other dessert choices! They have random flavors that you won't find in the stores or ice cream shops. If you are an adventurous dessert eater, I would definitely come here. There's also a juice bar for those who are looking for a health conscious option. On top of that, the prices are very reasonable. They prefer cash if your total bill comes down to $10 or below ($0.50 cent charge for those using debit/credit for a bill below $10). Parking is scarce around the area so you will need to drive around or park a few blocks away if you do find parking. read more

First the lady was nice. That was the only pleasant experience. Now, I ordered 3 chicken tamales $2.50 each. She put them in the microwave. The under side was hard. I ordered the Oreo parfait. It was $5 and made of mousse and a table spoon of cake. The corn in a cup was $5 had more mayo than corn. The 12 oz Jarrito was $5 as well. I dined in didn't get not one napkin and no restroom. I paid $23 for a horrible experience. Never again. read more

Service was great. Nice cozy dining area with reasonably priced food. I had two scoops of snickers and cookies ice cream for $5.46. I got to taste some homemade ice cream while listening to some nice hip hop music! Definitely will return. read more

i guess i walked in with expectation of some fancy local ethnic icecream place on this hot 94 degree Chicago day with the whole family in tow. As the kids and i walked in, some strange smell of cleaning supplies greeted us. i skeptically went ahead since i had to beg my husband to drive us there :) the long lines took another 15 minutes and then it was our turn. The kiddos got strawberry and lime bars and i got their famous yogurt with fruit. It was ok but not something i would go back for. read more

This place always had amazing foods, snacks and treats. Me and my boyfriends favorite spot nearby where we live. We come so much to this place and the lady there who always serves us is so sweet and so nice. read more

I had been here once before but since I didn't live in the area I had not come back until now and trust me this is going to be my place to come from now on, we just recently moved back to the area and the only other paleteria we had been too was La Michoacana on Blue Island but it is always packed and I think it's overrated and over priced but then again that's just me... So this time we had agua fresca de sandia, cheese fries, nieve de arroz con leche, nieve de cajeta and a nieve de limón so everything was sooo good but the ice cream OMG!!!! They where really really good anyone you try, they have a corn one and it was so good but the kiddos didn't want that one, they also have the corn on the cob(elote) with the flaming hot Cheetos on it don't know how it taste yet but that will be on my list... if you are in the area give this place a try you won't regret it read more

Pretty good ice cream shop with lots of flavours, a lot of authentic Mexican ones too (some tropical fruit like mamay, Mexican cheesecake like candy, etc). Really liked the mamay one. The corn flavor was ok. They also have a lot of fresh fruit made popicles. read more

Stumbled upon this joint after some jibarito on a very hit day and it did not disappoint. The service was great and they have so many options. I tried a spicy salty and sweet dessert and it was pretty good. They also have many ice cream flavors. read more

This place is very cute! It has many different and exotic ice cream flavors that are actually very tasty. It has ice cream flavors like elotes corn ice cream ( my favorite), rice water ice cream (very tasty), cheese ice cream (taste like cheese cake), etc. it also has Mexican style made yogurt with different varieties of topping. Chile mango with sorbet is by far my best dessert. read more

Stopped by while riding our bikes through Pilsen last weekend. I had a paleta de cajeta and my partner got a scoop of coffee ice cream in a waffle come. Service was good and so were our treats. The ice cream was not too sweet and the cajeta flavor was rich and mellow. We saw many families come through and leave happy with all kinda of snacks from ice cream to mangoneadas (a spicy, sour, sweet mango drink) to your classic takis and hot cheese. A sweet little place to stop for a snack. read more

Very mediocre. I had a torta and requested a lot of things off of it and when I got it back and it was wrong they said I didn't tell them what I wanted off that therefore they couldn't remake it but, they did end up remaking it and it was still wrong..I ate it anyways and picked off what I didn't want but, the chicken was very dry and flavorless the only good thing on there was the cheese. I would probably not go back here again. The only thing I will say was good was the fruit water. I should've gotten ice cream and maybe I would consider going back here again. read more

This place is awesome. Really easy to order!! Pics of all the food and the Popsicles are labeled by flavor in the freezers :-)

Perfect place if your in mood for paleta..They have EVERY kind. They also have tons of other goodies on the menu. My favorite is the yogurt. They put all the fruit in it mix it and add toppings. I go there AT LEAST TWICE a week for this. The small is 3.50 and it looks like a medium so the price is right. Only thing I don't like is they have a minimum of $7 to use credit card. Most of the time I don't buy more then my yogurt. I had to buy extra in order to use my card cause I had no cash. But I will still go there with my 3.50 for the yogurt every week. They also have fruit waters which are VERY GOOD. read more

0 stars. Item was not what I expected and the lady who took my order didn't even tell me there was a sale on my item. I repeat 0 stars.

I really enjoyed coming to this place to get my green juice and others. I love the Chile con mango. The variety in this place is insane they even have avocado ice cream tequila ice cream I tried mostly all and I'm not so much of a sherbet person but the bubble gum is pretty good. This place is spacious enough to eat in nice and cool in there on hot days and warm in the cold days, it's been there for a while, their cheese fries with jalapeños are the bomb their flaming hot Cheeto with cheese yummy. They also sell tortas, Haven't tried but I will when I gets cooler. read more

The ice cream is amazing--I tried the corn ice cream with my doubts and it was delicious! I brought a group of kids and they were extremely accommodating, sharing their many dairy-free options for the child with allergies (water-based ice cream which was great in addition to popsicles which the kids liked less). They went out of their way to be patient with picky young children. So affordable, too! Giant scoop of the best ice cream I've had in a waffle cone for $2.50. I don't live anywhere near but I'll be back! read more

I had been wanting to explore Pilsen for quite some time and this place was on my list. For one, it's a very chill environment and I'd love to go back here and just sit down in the summertime. I love all their flavors (they have quite a few). I'm picky about paletas (I'm Mexican, I grew up eating homemade ones and they were very good)...so trust me when I say these are tasty. I also loved the service...there were some flavors I had never tried before and the lady was very nice about letting me sample/explaining the tastes and giving her recommendations. That definitely set a tone for me in terms of service. Definitely go here if you want to try new flavors and leave your comfort zone! And even if you like to stick to your comfort zone they offer small cups (which allow for one scoop I'd say) for $1.50, not a bad price for encouraging you to venture out. I like more sour types so I got the mango with chile, but I also got to sample the mamey and it was quite flavorful. My friend tried the eggnog and he loved it (rompope-- tastes just like the drink). read more

Had some gelato here with a group of friends after having lunch at El Jibarito. I thought it was super cute and awesome that the paletas are all hand made and the flavors are all hand written on the popsicle sticks. My friends said the paletas were all delicious and the sorbet was also supposedly delicious. The gelato was amazing as well. It is definitely a no frills place, similar to el jibarito, but definitely good and worth trying out :) read more

The owner is super friendly and welcoming! Everything I've ever had from here has been great! The paletas, nachos, elotes, tortas, yogurt, green juices, and fresh waters. Currently obsessed with their lime, cucumber, and chia agua fresca! Prices are very reasonable! read more

I love this place! I have tried many things off their menu. My favorite is the natural yogurt and the watermelon water. Probably the best yogurt I have tasted. The restaurant is really clean and the staff is really polite. read more

The place is super clean and looks newly updated and painted. The mangollada was very tasty with a nice blend of sweet and spicy. The small is $5, but was a good portion with a lot of fresh sweet mangos. My children said that the ice cream and palettas were also good. It was $15 for 2 small Mangolladas, 1 paletta, 1 scoop of ice cream, and 1 mini cone. read more

I go here every Tuesdays and sometimes Mondays .. Not gonna lie it's pretty good, but today Monday 5/9/2016 12:00pm forgot to bring money with me and asked if I could pay tomorrow (Tuesday),they said they can't do that even though they know I go there a lot and don't trust me.. Im sorry but don't think I'm going back there again... read more
