So I have frequented the Paleta bars in Abq numerous times over the last couple years and I love it so much! My go to is always the strawberry cheesecake paleta with white chocolate drizzle, graham cracker and Piñon toppings. However; today I decided to try the limited time viral Dubai chocolate strawberry dessert and it was absolutely exquisite! I ordered a small it was $14. It was pretty pricey but thedesert itself could have fed two or three people. It was so heavy lol but it was definitely worth it. I highly recommend everybody at least trying it once! It's a pistachio and white chocolate melted base that they layer with dark chocolate, white or milk chocolate, and then strawberries, and then another pistachio white chocolate base, chocolate and than more strawberries, all the way to the top and then they top it with crushed pistachios and some kind of other little crunchies!! But it was amazing!! read more

I love Paleta Bar and had been to their many locations in ABQ. This location was no different. Their Paleta was still good and customer service was still great. I had a NM United Paleta (honestly had no idea what it was made of...but if I were to guess...it was a cream based..with some Oreo...and..some yellow color flavors (no idea what it would be) half dipped in dark cholate with pinons and peanuts and some fruits. It wasted wonderful as expected. The staff didn't skimp on the toppings, which were generous. Plus, you get 2 extra ojos (Choco wafer rolls) along with your Paleta as well. The price was slightly higher than their other locations (at $8.40)...but probably because it was inside a mall which costs a bit for retail and they compensated by giving extra ojos. Overall, I enjoyed it...and look forward to eating Paleta from Paleta Bar and trying some new flavors again! read more

Aaaahhhhh Paleta Bar! Every time I drive by Cottonwood Mall your many flavors of hand-made, fresh, creamy, delicious paletas (ice pop, water or milk based) call my name. Of course, once I'm there, I have to get one of their amazing agua frescas (fresh fruit drinks) like watermelon, cucumber lime, horchata... it's too hard to decide which one to choose so I end up mixing 2. They have the friendliest service (way to train your team members for success!) and the co-owners are serious business people who can be found doing anything: serving customers, ringing you up at the register, cleaning, dressing up as paletas, or handing out samples! It is just phenomenal to have a business like Paleta Bar setup shop in Albuquerque and become so successful! If you're looking for the best desert, snack, heck even a meal (there are multiple items on their menu), then go there and choose anything! You won't leave disappointed or with your stomach empty! read more

Your hot, your tired....you've just completed a 10 mile trek in 99 degreezzz. Entering the Cottonwood Mall after this wicked trek...no cheers to greet you, no smiles to greet you...before this rude awakening becomes a realisation....you see the faint sign in the distance blinking SOS.....it's "The Paleta Bar. They greet you with smiles and cheers. Then created before your eyes, like when the world was created, a coffee paleta bar dipped in dark chocolate then bathed in sliced almonds is handed to you. Sitting there, you write this yelp between scrumptious yummee bites. You feel born again. Maybe Mrs. Paleta was your real Mama? You can dream..:) Thanks for reading. Avram, ME read more

I have been to some crappy places and this one tops them. If you are going to go and stand in the door way of your back room and store front on your phone go the fuck home. If I could give this place 0 stars I could. Just gross in general. read more

#58 for 2019 When I was younger, I would go to Coronado Mall. I dont know how many people in ABQ recall the Frozen Banana dipped in chocolate place they had. I would beg my mom to take me! Ya see I've been a foodie my whole life!! Unfortunately, most times my moms answer was NO. Well guess what! I'm a grown up now and I do what I want!!!!! I love The Paleta Bar for many reasons... and one of those reasons is it takes me back to the times of having a frozen banana dipped in chocolate and rolled in peanuts! Here is the difference in old memories and making new memories. When you are kid you are given very few choices and as an adult you have many choices in front of you. The Paleta Bar is a huge rainbow of choices... and I do mean huge!!!! 1. You pick your Paleta Bar from an abundance flavors 2. Ya get your fun Paleta choice either 1/2 dipped or full dipped into one of many chocolatey options 3. And seriously if that's not enough you have the super fun, super energetic talented "Paleta-Guru"dip that chocolate-dipped paleta into toppings of your choice! Ohhhh, wait.... there's more! 4. Last but not least you can then get another chocolate sauce drizzled all over the top!!! Cottonwood Mall is an excellent choice for The Paleta Bar because in a world full of brand names & chain stores I'd much rather be supporting local, thinking local, eating local and buying local and because who doesn't want the best & koolest ice cream dessert ever that you can design on your own!!!! Walking around the mall with a Paleta Bar in your hand is sure to draw some attention your way! Don't forget to spread the word that your Aaahmazing and scumptiously delicious looking Paleta is from The Paleta Bar!!!! read more

Writing this review for each and every Paleta Bar in the city! I absolutely LOVE the almond and taro paletas. Every single time I go all of the staff is so friendly and they have great attitudes. I always take my daughter and her friends for a girls date. Yummalicious! read more

The Paleta Bar did a good job with this location. It's like a mini version of the other two "bars". I ordered the pecan paleta with my usual choice peanuts and milk chocolate. This particular paleta was not my favorite. It wasn't as creamy as I hoped. Nevertheless, they have an array of desserts and snacks for everyone. The Paleta Bar is a wonderful add to Cottonwood Mall, but I doubt it was needed when the mall is saturated with other sweets in this same category. Service is always spot on, I have no reservations about coming back. read more

We've been to the Coors Rd location a few times and this store was no difference. Quality food, high energy people behind the counter make the both locations excellent. The paletas are consistent - consistency is good. I know what's to expect when I order. read more

I was going to go to their other location until I saw that they were opening at the mall which is much closer to my house. I was pleasantly surprised by this place. They had a big line but it moves pretty fast (the cashier seemed to be super slow when I was there, but maybe she was new). There are a lot of options but the menu is super easy to figure out and they had some examples on display which were helpful too. I got a hazelnut pop dipped in milk chocolate with oreo crumbles on top and it was delicious and way more filling than I thought it would be actually. My kid got a vanilla one with milk chocolate and fruity pebbles on top. It wasn't my style of flavorings but alas it was my kids' choice and who am I to judge. It can be a little pricey if you get it full dipped with the toppings...almost $5...but I think it is worth the splurge for an ultra delicious and filling dessert. read more

My husband and I were leaving mini golf when we saw this place and thought we'd check it out. Back home we don't have anything like this (yet!) so it was new and interesting. Alex assisted us and walked us thru creating our own delicious desserts. I selected the Hazelnut Crunch bar with White Chocolate and fruity pebbles. I was AMAZING! The flavors complimented each other and were both fun and satisfying. My husband isn't picky which can sometimes be a bad thing at places like this. He knew he wanted the avocado bar but after that he didn't know. He asked Alex to pick for him and he chose dark chocolate with pecans. It was so tasty that I was only offered the tiniest bite to try since hubby wanted the whole thing (lol). All in all a great experience and I hope that one of these stores will open in SoCal! And a big shout out to Alex! He was great, friendly and was a huge help. Someone give that guy a raise!! read more

BOMB. I have never had a better popsicle in my life. It was amazing. And the toppings selection was pretty vast. I enjoyed the fact that piñon was an option. The staff were also very informative as to how the process worked (similar to subway, build your popsicle) very delicious. They even cater like weddings and stuff read more
