    The toppings
    Laura B.

    So many flavors. Decisions! Decisions! DECISIONS! I chose the bubblegum for my grand kids. A pink and blue treat with a 1/2 dip of white chocolate topped with sprinkles and a drizzle more of white chocolate. I will surprise them after school today! Best Nana ever, I hope!

    I will admit this was my first time trying a Paleta. It took me so long to decide as there were many many flavors to choose from! Luckily, they offer samples and I went with the birthday cake Paleta, half dipped in milk chocolate with cocoa pebbles. It was delicious! Next door to many food options and a brewery. Can't wait to try it again

    I felt like a kid in a candy story at this place. I had heard of paleta bars before but I never visited a store front until now. This location is located near the base of the Sandia hillside, so the view outside is gorgeous. The young man helping me was kind, offered plenty of suggestions, and laughed with me the entire time that I gawked over my order. My white chocolate dipped, oreo crumble covered, dark chocolate drizzled strawberry cream cheese paleta took me back too many years, with just the right amount of sweetness and entirely all the goodness. I can only speak for the paleta that I ordered because they have so many customizable flavors, but I know that The Paleta Bar will be seeing me again. This icy treat did not disappoint.

    gold bar Paleta con frutas

    I'll start with saying that the staff was very friendly at this location. Both of them were younger girls and they were very happy and overall I was very pleased with the service. I usually order a strawberries and cream paleta when I come but this time they had a gold bar option and I just had to try it. I got it with strawberries and a half dip in milk chocolate. The paleta it's self was fantastic. Probably a new favorite flavor. I really enjoyed the chunk of chocolate at the very end as well. Such a perfect combination of peanut butter and chocolate. My only suggestion would be the fruit was kind of gross. The strawberries tasted a little old and you could tell they weren't fresh. Especially because I'm pretty sure you pay extra for that add-on I was a little disappointed. Still a really great location and you can get food and a beer next door.

    Lots of different ice cream or fruit bars. Dark Choc, Milk Choc and white chocolate to dip in half or full. Then 25 different toppings. They also serve fruit juices and mixed fruit cups

    I always love paletas and am a huge fan of this NM-based paleta bar chain. The ingredients are always fresh with a lot of selection..and the staff has been polite and welcoming across all locations I have been to. One day I found myself slightly early for my appointment, I dropped in this paleta bar location out of whim and tried the NM United paleta bar (banana, cookies & cream crumb, dark chocolate bits and chili powder. I had it half dipped in dark chocolate and coated with pinons and pistachios. The fruits that I picked (strawberries and mangoes) were fresh, too...and having it as a treat towards the end of the day...really made my day special! It's not just an icecream..but luxury dessert treat for myself for sure! Stop by if you have time. I like that this location has plenty of parking spots that they share within the plaza. And, frankly, you can go have your dinner at one of the spots in the plaza..then stop by this Paleta Bar location to cap off the night...that's a perfectly wonderful dinner in my book!

    no chocolate, bad strawberries

    To start workers were very slow, I came in with my family for a quick treat that was not so quick AT ALL, waited almost 10 min!!! For two fruit cups with chocolate. Fruit cups barely even had chocolate, strawberries tasted and looked old, And took way too long to prepare 2 cups of "fruit with chocolate". Definitely was not worth the wait or what I payed for. You'll never see me paying almost 8$ for a small cup of strawberry's and barely any chocolate, you're better off just making it at home yourself. Will not be coming back to this Tramway location. And definitely would give this a zero stars if I could.

    Amazing place definitely a visit for that sweet tooth cravings. I had the flavor of the day of acai with half chocolate mangos, strawberries and almonds. This was tasty but not something I would get all the time. I like to try new flavors and always recommend the Paleta bar to all my family and friends. Don't forget to get a fruit drink to pair or if you just need a refreshing drink on a hot day. My favorite it the blueberry lime. Great prices, friendly staff and clean environment.

    Paletas, a delicious treat for everyone! With so many paletas to choose from, and so many toppings to add...this spot is a lot of fun! My Daughter loved her cookies and cream Paleta with chocolate and sprinkles. The service was friendly and attentive. I chose the Taro with no toppings and it was so tasty. My Husband had the mango en fuego served with fresh watermelon, and a sweet/spicy sauce.

    Clear signs for COVID

    I've taken some time to really decide if I wanna doc a star from this AMAZING establishment. I la la la la LOVE The Paleta Ba. I tend to go to the one off San Pedro behind the Coronado Mall. Let me be clear: I would use the Paleta Bar for my wedding. This new location is BEAUTIFUL. It is clean. There are CLEAR rules to make sure COVID transmission is decreased. All the staff are wearing masks, gloves, and there are clear signs on the door and floor. The garb (clothing) section is cute. The huge Paleta decor is cute and lets you know what you're getting into. This was the first time I got a gallon of Aqua Fresca. YES! They sell by the gallon-- which is good because they use to have the yearly cups that you could refill at a discount, but due to COVID bringing cups into a store is not safe. So, this is a perfect middle-ground: and for $6-- HOOK ME UP!! The staff is kind. Knowledgeable. Patient. All while being professional. They helped me download the "Clover" app so that I could gather my points because I'm a frequent flyer. 10/10 this is an amazing spot!! However, there is a noticeable difference in the size of Paleta's here than I'm use to. Same price, but there is 1/4th of the normal Paleta missing. It is shaped like a "V" verses being the normal "u" shape. I don't know if they are using a different mold or if this is due to COVID and they needed to do something cost-efficient, but it's noticeable and for that I will probably continue to go to my trusted alternative location. This is where the star is docked. But not to leave on a bad note, I do want to disclose: I tired something different here. I did an avocado Paleta with 1/2 dip dark chocolate and piñon, and the bf got a Gold Bar with milk chocolate with piñon and they rocked!!! They literally put full on avocado in the Paleta. I'm not a fan of taking photos of food that I've bitten but you need to see this! Regardless of the bar being smaller, I do highly recommend The Paleta Bar!! If this is your store, you will not be let down!!!

    Nice to have a special dessert shop on the east side of town! I've been to a Paleta Bar before. It was located in Uptown Mall. So I basically knew I'd like it before I even went. This location is a little simpler than the Uptown location. For example, it offers Aguas Frescas in several fruit flavors, but no coffee drinks. The paletas arranged in a glass case were beautifully displayed. It was hard to choose a flavor. After a lot of consideration, I decided to go with the hazelnut paleta. I was close to choosing the strawberry. Next time. There were three choices of chocolate for dipping: dark, milk, or white. Also, you can go for the full dip or half dip. The full dip is about 60 cents more. Two toppings were included in the price. I did a full dip of dark with pecans and M&Ms. It was really good! The price was $4.59 which I thought was reasonable since a fast-food milkshake is about the same. Plus, the paleta is custom-made to your liking. The store was very clean and there were Xs on the floor for social distancing. I'll definitely go back when I want a special treat.

    Me and my kids loved it. Unique tastes and fun to craft a frozen treat to your preferences. Would like to see one of these in Charlotte, NC.

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!

Service was very kind and helpful with choosing flavors and letting us sample a few different flavors before picking! We tried 3 flavors Triple Chocolate Brownie Chip Vanilla Fudge Chunk Piñon Brittle And Creme Fraiche Wild Blueberry The Triple Chocolate brownie chip was a hit with our toddler My husband enjoyed the Creme Fraiche Wild Blueberry I tried a bite it was yummy. The Vanilla Fudge Chunk Piñon Brittle was delicious but did not mix well with the triple chocolate brownie would probably not order together again. Both delish on their own just not together. Highly recommend trying I do believe flavors do rotate not sure how often but you can check the website for current options! Great local ice cream shop!

    Go get some ice cream right now!!…read more Heidi's serves some awesome ice cream. They've got a variety of flavors (my favorite was vanilla with fudge chunks and piñon brittle, while my wife prefers the genmaicha) and freshly-made waffle cones.
