    Strawberry cheese cake paleta- covered with milk chocolate and pecans.
    Veronica S.

    Loved the service and they also speak Spanish! I got the strawberry and cream cheese covered with milk chocolate and pecans. It was really delicious. Most recommend if you are in the area.

    The "New Mexico" Paleta! Sandia with Chile, half dipped in chocolate, with piñon and Tajin! AMAZING!

    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!

    #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!!!!

    Pecan paleta with milk chocolate and peanuts

    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.

    Avocado with Dark Chocolate and Pecans and Hazelnut Crunch with White Chocolate and Fruity Pebbles

    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!!

    First timer here and was weary due to the 3 star on yelp but I've come here to possibly help with a…read moremore accurate review going into the 2026 year. At first glance inside, it was clean. Tables were all wiped down and ready for incoming customers. The floors were even swept. There's an easy view into the kitchen/work area, it looked pretty clean and organized too. That was a good start to me actually. The young gentleman at the register was very polite and friendly. Gave us suggestions. The meal I got was a Chicken Bacon Ranch(no tomato) flatbread with a Mango monsoon and side of chips. I'm pretty picky with sandwiches that include sauces because sometimes people tend to DRENCH them . Luckily, this was not the case. The ratio of chicken, cheese, bacon, lettuce and ranch was so spot on. The chicken wasn't full of fat which I was really happy about so I didn't spend most my time picking out unwanted fat I finished the whole thing. Oh! The smoothie was so great I and flavorful. This was an unforgettable experience for me. The younger ladies working in the back did a great job with my sandwich. The pesto sandwich wasn't mine but the bite I took was just as great too!! I'd give that a great rating as well.

    This location in particular could use some better service and manners. This visit wasn't very…read morewelcoming at all. Also it was my first time at this location.
