    They have good service good food and the cashews were super nice and the wait was super fast

    Music for customers to listen to while they enjoy their treats
    Victoria V.

    I'm a Latina that married into a huge Mexican family that has taught me how to eat and enjoy all Mexican food and their so called "sweets" (candy, pastries, chips, and fruit concoctions) It's like they add CHILE (spicy powder/liquid) to everything. So here's what I can tell you... First of all, foods and sweets vary depending on the region they're from, in this case, EL ZALATE is a small city in Sinaloa (from what I was told) So everyone makes these fruit concoctions differently. Second, the names to half of their desserts don't describe what you're ordering or what they have but THANKFULLY this small spot has large colorful posters all over their restaurant for you to get a visual of what you're ordering and what's in it. You can always ask them what's exactly in them, and they don't mind leaving things out if you ask. Lastly, the place is perfect for kids and families to enjoy an evening or after school snack. It's always clean, the employees are very polite and willing to explain all of their items on the Menu. They've been pretty spot-on with the things they advise (say you don't like peanuts, chile, or a specific fruit) but it's definitely not your typical ice cream spot. This is a place that will hook it up and there's definitely something on the Menu for everyone. My husband and I tried their juices and they were too sweet for our liking for being freshly made... Hibiscus [Jamaica] juice and Horchata. Lots of places in the valley that make them differently; heck, if you go next door to the Pupusa restaurant and try THEIR Salvadoran Horchata, you'll see what a HUGE difference there is considering it's from a completely different country. I highly recommend this to everyone and anyone with a sweet tooth wanting to try something different than your typical ice cream and yogurt spot. Sitting area is big enough for small groups. In a sketchy neighborhood but trust me, there's plenty of traffic in the area, you should be okay. We got out of the bike trail headed to the University of Phoenix stadium to get a quick refresher and were sold on the first visit. Authentic Mexican desserts, snacks, and everything in between.

    Love that this is so close to church so I can get my Mango Loco fix that much quicker. The place is very clean and has several tables to accommodate customers. It's super helpful that they have posters of the various menu items so you can have an idea of what you're getting. BONUS: They carry Thrifty's ice cream!! Yippee!

    Best raspados in town! Place is always clean and inviting. I'm addicted to the lemon raspados, the fresas con crema, and the tosti-cheviche!

    Mango Loco

    My favorite place for snacking. Mango Loco has everything but the kitchen sink, yumm! Their elotes are huge and awesomely delicious.

    Great tasting Diablitos!!! I always come here for a Diablito because they make it exactly how I like it. I recommend coming in the morning/afternoon and when it's not so busy because that is when they make it absolutely perfect. The only thing I don't like is that they are a bit rude. I know little Spanish and the little Spanish I do know I try to use and explain what I want. The cashier just looked at me ugly and told me "que?" Not even bothering to help me out or speak even one word in English for me. Other than that the food and drinks are great

    mangoneada, a real mango popsicle made churrumais style with lemon and chili. So yum.

    Delicious fresh fruit frozen treats in a well air conditioned shop. I got the mangoneada, a homemade mango popsicle made churrumais style w/ lemon and chili. Perfect for the heat of Arizona summers.

My friends and I stopped in for dessert around 8pm on a Tuesday, and it wasn't very busy. There were a few different seating areas inside and some outside too. There are three ice cream flavors (vanilla, mixed or chocolate) to choose from, then different toppings depending on what you order, one size only. After studying the menu I decided to try the Fluffynutter'n which has peanut butter, banana and marshmallows. It was delicious!!! I think this place also does breakfast/brunch which would be fun to check out. I can't wait to come back and try all the other options!

Ultimately this doesn't matter to me as I just want the ice cream. Today I was on my way to work and decided to treat myself to a coffee. Knowing that they're vegan, I thought non-dairy milk would be included. Nowhere was I able to find which milk was included in the price- so I asked for oat milk. I was charged NINTEY CENTS (.90) for an upcharge. Rather than saying oh it comes with soy milk, or hey it's a .90 cent upcharge, the barista just added it on no questions asked. I had reviewed the menu online and in the extras it does not include oat milk, which is why I assumed it came with it. My coffee ultimately came out to $9.16. What a joke. I will definitely not be coming back here for anything besides ice cream from here on out and even that is a hard maybe. I wish more places had pricing integrity- their website doesn't reflect it and neither did the barista. *edit to add the coffee is extremely sweet and milky, tastes more like sweet milk than a latte :(

I considered several options in Phoenix area to review, but I decided to go with the iconic Sugar Bowl in Old Town Scottsdale. It's been in business since the 1950's and has been a staple for 7 decades in Old Town. The inside is 1890's decor of pink & white wallpaper/decor like an old fashioned ice cream parlor. They have a bar area and standard seating. I remember I first went here when I was in high school in late 90's/early 2000's. Ice cream was always top notch. I used to get the Buster Brownie, which was this big brownie sundae with vanilla ice cream, goeey marshmallow topping, whipped cream, & cherry on top. It was awesome! I loved that way back then. I got lunch there once or twice; pretty good sandwiches, but the real highlight is the ice cream. My most recent visit was in Jan. 2022 with my dad. We decided to pop in for ice cream. It was as delicious as I remembered.

The old pink diner set up is everything my parents experienced in their childhood. There is even a little arcade with rides in the back. I stopped in just for ice cream. They offered me a seat at the counter with some water while I chose my flavor. This turned into looking at a menu and ordering a lunch. However, ice cream first. I mean it was 104° outside. I had pecan ice cream and it hit the spot. I ordered a turkey BLT and it was really good. I brought it back to my hotel and nibbled on it for the next two days. I was shocked the bread was still decent. The lettuce bacon and turkey all held up as well. It looked just as fresh. I will definitely stop here again.
