I'm honestly surprised by some of the reviews because my experience at Paleteria La Reyna de Michoacán was fantastic! I ordered a medium strawberry agua fresca and a turkey torta, and both were absolutely delicious. The manager was incredibly sweet and welcoming. My torta was loaded with turkey, cheese, jalapeños, tomatoes, lettuce, and avocado, and it was perfectly toasted. Every bite was packed with flavor, and the ingredients tasted fresh. The strawberry agua fresca was refreshing, flavorful, and the perfect complement to my meal. Great food, great service, and a wonderful experience overall. I'll definitely be back, and I highly recommend that everyone stop by and give this place a try! read more

Amazing customer service! Great conversation, food was also super good and fresh !!! The vibe of the place was great and very welcoming.

Came over to pick up some bionico. There is plenty of parking spaces available. The server made it after we ordered it. We got a small box of it, and it costed $25.99. This is pretty pricy. I was hoping that it tastes good. I took it to go, and ate it as dessert after dinner. I was disappointed when I had it. The dressing was very watery. The fruits were not sweet except for the apple. The bionico was not worth the money I spent here. Probably will not be back. read more

Aguas frescas tasted like old fruit, lady at the front I think is the owner was on a call on speaker the whole time didn't speak to us only when I said we didn't like the water bc it tasted old, instead we got a raspado (shaved ice) vanilla flavored, was still nasty and she said thank you and went back to speaking on the phone. As a business owner I think she should be more professional and learn some manners. I've came here a few times and the same treatment was given I was hoping it'd be different this time but I guess not, disgusting food and disgusting behavior. read more

I was in town and wanted a fresh veggie juice. The customer service was okay, the vibe didn't feel very welcoming. I still decided to order because I was already there, and this wasn't my first visit. Other times I've visited I tried their banana split, esquimal, pistachio ice cream and diablitos. This visit I purchased the "jugo verde" the flavor was good, but the juice was a little too warm for my liking. read more

The Worst ice cream I had in my life . I ordered 3 scope but they didn't even give me full scope but they charge near $12. I feel ice cream was really not fresh. I think the one who handle the store has to more carefully. So we can have good ice cream. I never stop to eat ice cream in my life. But I swear to god today I just taste the ice cream and throw to trash. Please change to quality of your ice cream because you are nearest ice cream place to my home. I was so sad today. I will try your ice cream again 1 months later. And if you guys have good ice cream this time I will change my comment and my review. I hope you guys can change the ice cream quality so I can have good ice cream. read more

Lovely place, lovely food, lovely people! I highly recommend this place. The ice cream is made fresh.

Highly recommend! Ate coconut dairy lactose free paleta! It was delicious! Reasonable price and short walk from Progress on Main. Amazing brewery! Highly recommend that too!great Mezcal cocktail read more

What's not to like about authentic paletas? To be honest, I enjoy any paleta from anywhere, so I'm not a connoisseur of these things since I didn't grow up with it, but every flavor I've gotten has been great. Honestly, the paleteria (any place) has been a staple of mine for the past few months. Probably should lay off of them though a little lol read more

Ordene tosti locos, y los tuve que regresar porque el Pepino y los cuernitos sabían echados a perder. Cundo los regrese la dueña oh encargada se porto muy agresiva. Save your money there's a lot of more places around the area that will sell you better quality. I ordered tosti Locos and the cucumber and pork skin taste it roten. When I tried to return them the owner or person in charge there was very aggressive about returning my money back. read more

Delicious paletas; the service is always on point; and the options are very vast; reminds me a lot of a traditional paleteria.

I came here since I was in the mood for some paletas. I got Strawberry and cream ($2.75), Strawberry ($2.25), and mango con chili. Their milk based paletas are $2.75 and their juice based are $2.25. I really like the strawberry and cream the most out of the three. They also sell sandwiches, nachos, bionicos, agua frescas, and tostilocos from what I saw people buy when I ate there. The girl who helped me was nice. $0.50 charge to use mastercard and visa. read more

I've lived in this neighborhood for over two decades and I've just now came into this local shop. Oh, if it wasn't for Yelp I don't think I'll ever realize there was an awesome Mexican ice cream shop here. I've bookmarked Paleteria for so long, but still didn't make the trip until now. It was a warm Sunday afternoon and I mentioned to my sister, who was driving, that we should stop by since it's on the way home. Shop also makes all the typical Mexican deli, tacos, and etc. besides ice cream pops, chamango and other desserts. There are table seating and an arcade area for the kids to play. Strawberries and Cream: Not too sweet; just the right amount of strawberries. We also got the blueberry and chili mango, but haven't tried it yet. It's still in the fridge waiting for me to take a bite into it. :D Price average $2.50-3.00 - kind of expensive for an ice cream bar, but everything is pretty expensive these days for dessert. The ice cream sandwiches from Cool Haus or Cookies & Cream are roughly $4, so it's just about the right. Definitely, a nice cold treat for a warm day in the SGV! Enjoy. read more

Oh wow! I wish I had discovered this sooner! I've been working in our satellite office for about 2-3 years now and today was my first day here! I for sure will tell my co-workers about this place. I bought a bunch of paletas that they gave me one for free (hehe). No regrets here, it's natural and only fruit so it can't be that unhealthy, right?!? I got the famous strawberries and cream, mango with and without chili, coconut, avocado, arroz con leche, and something else. Absolutely delicious and refreshing, especially for our hot LA summer days! I also got an esquite. I love esquite, however I did not love theirs. Their esquite gets a 3-3.5 stars. I have had better. I like my corn more on the al dente side than overcooked. Also, something about the mayo they used was just not to my liking. Of course I still ate it though.... It was not bad, just not great. I can't wait to go back. I wanted to buy more paletas but didn't want to seem like a little piggy! I also will be trying their aguas and their cooked food. I highly recommend this place. Place is clean and the workers are so friendly! And no, they weren't trying to push their fajas on me! read more

PALETAS GALORE! I'm so happy that I found a paleteria that is close by my home. It's a great little shop to stop at on a hot day. They are located inside a shopping plaza close to Papa John's. They make all their paletas fresh. On the hot weekends, sometimes they do sell out of some flavors. I haven't been disappointed in any of the flavors I've tried so far, which are Strawberry with Cream, Coconut, Strawberry, Watermelon, and Mango. They are all about $3/each. The ones with milk are a little more expensive than the ones without milk. I have yet to try other items on their menu other than paletas, but will be definitely continue coming back here! They do accept credit cards and debit cards, but they charge an additional transaction fee, so it's best to bring cash with you. read more

This is my FAVORITE AGUA FRESCA PLACE!!! I love the paletas. I think the tortas are decent. The bionicos are standard. I prefer the elote cart on the streets though. I used to treat myself to this place quite often. read more

My visits here are always a hit or miss. Prices are a little high but for a big cup of elote, it's not bad. I compared it to a few other places and it wasn't the same. This place makes it best, hands down. I tried their smoothie and chamango and was rather disappointed. It was very bland, watered down, and expensive. Personally, it was a waste of money and I will not order those here again. Service is a hit or miss. They always seem understaffed when I come. They charge $1 extra for card. Wide variety of goodies. Location conveniently located. Overall just come back for the ice cream and elote. read more

This is probably the best Ice Cream shop in town. My wife loves the Chamango and kids love the Ice Cream. I enjoy the "paletas", which is a milk based ice cream bar. They are home made and the flavor options are great. They also serve a variety of foods and snacks, such as nachos, sandwiches, hot dogs, etc. They also advertise an "elote bowl", which is corn shaved from the cob and placed into a bowl with chili, cheese and mayo mixed together. Its next on my lists when I revisit the store -- I just need to make sure to save my appetite. Pricing is a bit high, but its made up for in quality. Still one-star in my book :) Note: Credit card transactions is subject to a charge, though I can't remember how much at the moment. read more

Minus one star because it left a funk smell of fried lard on my clothes. Other than that my order was delicious. I ordered the Diablito, which is a tamarindo and chamoy ice blended drink with a tamarindo candy straw. At $4.99 it was a little expensive, but the quality was good. It was a great treat, but I doubt I'll be making a habit out of coming here regularly. read more

I don't think it's fair to give a business one star over a cockroach, it happens, to just about every business at one point. You should have spoken to them directly about the cockroach situation and I'm almost sure they would have given you another one for free or tried to make it right somehow. If they're assholes, or the cockroach shows up in your food multiple times THEN might you consider leaving a low-star review for them. Running a small business is not easy these days, if you have a problem with them speak to them directly instead of taking it to yelp to slander their name. Smh. Oh and by the way, this place has an "A" rating... On to the good shit!! I am a super duper gringa but definitely enjoy everything Hispanic. I happen to loveeee agua frescas (fruit blended with water, watermelon and strawberries with cream are my personal fave) and all of the other DELICIOUS treats they have here! They have sweets, bionicos, jugos, tortas, dirty dogs, and elotes as well- and I have no idea what those are, I'm literally reading them off the sign right now. I have had the corn too and it's sooooo good!! And as I said in beginning, I'm white, 75% of the time when stepping into a Hispanic establishment I'm met with nasty looks and attitude from the people that work there. As someone who is supporting your business THIS I will never understand. So I APPRECIATE the fact that I was met with the same respect and kindness from the employees as the Hispanic customers. Price is right, place is clean, food is delish. What more could you want? read more

Haven't Tried The Whole Menu Yet, But I Did Try A Strawberry Raspado... And It Tasted Nasty ... It Tasted Like Jam/Jelly ... Like That Brand Smukers Or Something ... Literally .. Like If They Got Strawberry Smukers Jam And Ice, Water And Blended It Together. Really Had High Expectations For This Place. But Was Disappointed, Usually Places Like These, Have Bomb Raspados, But Like I Said This Place Disappointed Me. They Didn't Even Bother To Add Any Real Strawberries ... Worse Part, They Don't Do Refunds Or Exchanges. Which Is Lame, Because They Don't Have Saples Either... Anyways, Place Isn't Supper Clean, And Staff Are Okay, Not The Nicest.. So Save Your Dollars And Go Somewhere Else. Like The Original Michoacan, Or Raspado Express. read more

The ladies there are very rude. We went there to get a smoothie and a biónico. When they were preparing our food We saw that the 2 very rude women whispered something to each other and the one that was cutting the fruit pointed at something she was cutting and they both looked at us and laughed. We ignored it. Then we saw that the other lady doing our smoothie, We had asked for vanilla but because she was so distracted with the other workers comment she gave us chocolate. We told her that we had told her a VANILLA SMOOTHIE and she gave us this nasty look denying it. Whatever we left we didn't want to make a big deal out of it but then we got home and found a strawberry that was ready to go to the trash. Smh never going back because of how shitty the service is. Im sure that they were talking about that strawberry when they were whispering and that's why they laughed when they put it in there. Hell no i think they even over charged me :/ read more

Came here around 7:30 pm for the first time. The place was empty and service was fast and good. The lady recommended the Agua Fresca de Frutas , it was really good. Refreshing and not too sweet. We got a paleta de Sandia con chile y limón - we voted it to be the best paleta. We also got a paleta de Fresas con crema and paleta de fresa covered in chocolate and nuts. Everything was really good- we would definitely be coming back read more

We just bought popsicles here...and there was a frozen cockaroach stuck to one. I do not recommend this place. read more

I am kicking myself for not having stopped by earlier even though I drive by it all the time to get to the 10 Freeway. They have a HUGE assortment of homemade popsicles and each one of them was delicious. Pistachio, coconut, rice pudding, and strawberries and cream. I could have eaten my way through the freezer section. Service was pretty nice, a helpful teenager stored my popsicles in the freezer so that we could keep them cold as we ate them. I can't comment on their other items including agua frescas and raspados but I'll be back, often, to get my affordable ice cream fix (about 2 bucks). read more

Can't believe this place doesn't have more reviews. It's your basic mom and pops snack/ice cream shop but the thing that makes it amazing is their Popsicle sticks or paletas. So many flavors and they are all fresh made in the shop! Lactose people will also be happy since they make a "water" and "milk" version of all their flavors. We tried: -guayaba/ guava (water) - tastes just like fresh guavas, my boyfriend's favorite. We want to try the milk version next time. -mango (water) - again tastes like fresh, ripe mangos. Lots of mango chunks inside and yes we want to try the milk version of this too -fresas con crema/ strawberries and cream - so good! The creamy part is so decadent and rich and the large strawberry chunks are a really nice, tart contrast It's located in a strip mall near the 10 freeway. If you see Alberto's, it's in the same plaza. read more

The place: So I was craving some chamango and decided to yelp for nearby places that has it. I came across this place and saw a picture of their strawberry and cream bars. It looked really good so I decided to swing by and give it a try. The place was not hard to find at all. There are plenty of parking since it's located in a plaza. I really liked the atmosphere of the place.They let you take your time and doesn't rush you into it. I took my time to look at all the ice cream bars. The food: They had a lot of variety and flavors. I then decided to settle for a chamango and two strawberry cream bars (one for me and one for my boyfriend). I was really hoping that I would like it because from the look of it I wanted to come back often since it's so convenient and on the way home. However, I was really disappointed. The CHAMANGO was really icy. I can crunch on the ice. The flavor of the chamango is just mediocre. Since I was disappointed with the chamango, I was hoping I would like the STRAWBERRY AND CREAM BARS since everyone is raving about it in their reviews. It was very sweet...it tasted like condense milk, but on a stick. The strawberries was hard and sour. Not at all like I imagined it would taste like. The chamango cost about $5 and their strawberry and cream bars cost $2.75. Overall: I gave the place two stars because the food was a little below average, but I would come back to give it a second chance and try other flavors since they have a lot of varieties. If you want to give this place a try, bring cash. I paid with cash but notice that they charge an extra 50 cents for using cards. read more

This place is off the hizzes. Where have agua frescas been all my life!! So delicious and so refreshing.. The paletas come in milk flavor with fruit, or just fruit and water.I ordered the milk paleta with strawberry and oh my, it was creamy and delish. I also got the strawberry ice one and that was super as well! The agua fresca I got was combination and I thought I did over kill so I got a small and when I got home I regretted not super sizing it. I cant wait to be here again! Taste: 5/5 Ambiance: 4/5 Cost: 4/5 read more

I wish they had one of these near my place. I really like how fresh and flavorful everything is here. They have a wide variety of flavors. We tried the cookies and cream paleta and the black berry paleta and both were deliciously refreshing. Very pleased and excited to come back to try their other flavors :) They also serve hot meals here... Didn't try them but maybe for the next visit. read more
