    a variety of drinks

    Major shoutout to the team at this Paleta bar! I was a full paleta newbie prior to showing up here upon arrival to ABQ, and the team took such great care of my larger order. I needed dessert for a full family and told them just to go nuts and hook me up with eight. They went above and beyond and everything we ordered was DELISH! My personal favorite was the cookies and cream. This is an awesome location right in the heart of the Ventana Ranch region. Make a trip and see them for your paleta needs!

    Love paleta bar , close to our home and the kids love it. With that being said, I stopped in today, got a large Agua Fresca , a small cup of mixed fruit ( watermelon & cantaloupe ) and 2 bags of hot fries , no cheese just plain & it's hard for me to say it's $22 worthy .

    Flavorful goodness lined up & waiting for you.

    Bottom Line: The westside be gettin' their paleta on!! This branch brings the usual line-up of The Paleta Bar treats served up on the far westside of the Duke City from a clean bright storefront by some fine friendly folks. Any further west from here and you'll be gettin' your paleta in Grants, so grab 'em here now. Top Line: On the weekly shopping gauntlet for groceries & other necessities while dodging the current virus villain du jour, I spotted this location of The Paleta Bar in the strip mall on the NE corner of Paradise Blvd NW & Universe Blvd NW. Some balmy winter afternoon weather is close enough to summer for this old guy to use it as a mighty cheap excuse to stoke out on some frozen treats. My K.I.S.S. approach was to slather a stick o' their watermelon chili paleta with dark chocolate and skip the distracting frivolities of sprinkles, fruits, nuts, etc. Keep it to something sweet! Something spicy! And chocolate! Definitely chocolate!! It was as refreshing, satisfying, and soul rejuvenating as could be expected. Winter may be here, corona may be here, but for one shining moment paleta & peace reigned in joyous splendor. Interior of store is bright, clean, & festive. Staff was fun, friendly, and helpful. Attentive & courteous. Definitely a repeat trip is required to further reinforce the certainty that summer is on its way and the Duke City be standing square in the crosshairs of that inevitability. I'll see y'all there.

    It's June and things are already starting to heat up in Albuquerque. Paleta Bar is the perfect place to cool down. Your paleta treat is completely customizable with several topping options like sprinkles and funky Fruity Pebbles. The choice is yours when it comes to toppings. They also offer fruits cups and agua frescas. Their service is sweet and the shop is clean clean clean. I ordered their delicious Street elote and my niece loved their bubble gum paleta dipped in chocolate and sprinkled with fruity pebbles. Definitely kid approved!!

    Five stars for customer service! Tried the mango and strawberry paletas and they weren't all that fruity. Strawberry tasted like frozen Yoplait strawberry yogurt and the mango was a bit icy. Each paleta comes with a dip in dark, white, or milk chocolate and a topping (nuts, cookie crumbles, cereal). Fruit topping is available for an extra charge. This is sort of a paleta/frozen yogurt bar hybrid. I'd like to come back to try their agua frescas- they had about six when I stopped by.

    Who doesn't like some paleta bars? Even better when they are covered in chocolate and some nuts or candies. My friend and I visited this place a few times now and it has been great! The place is clean and the staff is friendly. The service is quick. They also offer to-do boxes for different orders. The aqua fresca is also tasty. We tried the blueberry lemonade; it was well balanced between berries and lemonade. We plan to go back for some more soon!

    This ice cream spot deserves nothing else but 5 stars! What a wonderful place to try out smal batch…read morehome made ice cream from this shop! The owners/staff were so friendly and helpful. They even let me sample some flavors that I was deciding between as well. I meant..it was just so hard to decide which ones to get...since I only have limited spacec in my stomach..but so many more enticing flavors to choose from! I settled with a double scoop: a green chile pinon scoop and a cran (berry rose)mary scoop. Dang..the scoops were big and generous..and the taste were so wonderful! I especially loved the green chile pinon. It does have some spicy kick to it..but wow...so unique and I loved it so much that the next time I'm going to have this scoop and try another wonderful flavor! Lots of parking in the lot. The space was clean ans welcoming! I just cannot wait to stop by again. Even today..I debated whether I should stop by for the second day in a row..but..hey..I have to try to be good and not have lots of awesome icecream when my new year's resolution (which I will likely fail) is to have more self restraint on eating yummy food!

    Cottonwood Creamery is an adorable local ice cream shop with offerings that highlight delicious New…read moreMexican flavors. My favorite part was probably the house-made waffle cones, which come in a vanilla bean and blue corn variety. The store packs a lot of treats into a small space, and there is ample outside seating.
