Absolutely insane. I'm pretty sure the ladies behind the counter thought we were crazy, but these concoctions are fan-freaking-tastic. The ladies were so patient and kind with our indecisive selves and helped us in making our decisions. I had an oreo paleta, half dipped in milk chocolate topped with coconut flakes and strawberries and drizzled with white chocolate. The coconut was just the touch I was looking for and everything was extremely fresh and drool worthy. If you haven't eaten dinner, you might not need to after this. They are massive and sooo good.

Stopped in for a break from the heat and was welcomed immediately. There were so many choices, and all of them looked amazing. We chose the taro dipped in white chocolate with pecans and dulce de leches bars dipped in milk chocolate with pistachios, and they did not disappoint!! Service was great, and the place was comfortable and packed! Easy parking a plus! Great place for a treat with so many options, we will definitely be back

Nice snack bar if you're in town visiting or passing by.

VERY DELICIOUS! The young lady was very helpful and had great customer service. The elote was 3 stars out of 5, it was a bit watery and needs more cheese and more cream. The paleta de coco dipped in chocolate, almonds, and graham cracker was so delicious 5 out of 5. The refreshments were perfect for a hot day 5 out 5. Just make sure to check the little chalkboard at the counter when walking in. We missed the special of the day.

Amazing frozen ice cream bars. Love that you have the option of dipping in chocolate and sprinkling with toppings. The elote in a cup is great too. Wonderful Aqua Frescas to drink. The fruit crema is sinful.

We were so excited to try the Paleta Bar and were pleased with our experience at the Santa Fe location! They were pretty busy on a weeknight but everyone including customers were friendly and in no rush. It can be a little overwhelming if it's your first time ordering since there are so many options to choose from, but the staff is eager to help out and explain the process and even offer samples of the Paleta bars themselves. The basic gist is that there are cream-based bars and water-based bars. The cream-based bars come with the option to dip in your chocolate and toppings of choice. Both come with a side of fresh fruit, which is indeed really fresh! We ordered one of our paletas with chili salt as a topping and I would recommend only doing a half-dip of chocolate if you choose this topping since it ends up a bit too potent if the salt coats the entire paleta. For sure give them a try!

This place is so yummy will go back next time we visit. Corner area of shopping mall, quick.

Vanilla with a full chocolate dip and graham cracker. Side of strawberries and a blueberry limeade drink.

This place is great! At first I was skeptical, but I am so glad we stopped. It is such a unique dessert. Highly recommend stopping and trying it!

Absolutely delicious! So many good flavors to pick from and you can taste test to find the one you want. After you pick a base pop you can dip it and add toppings! We also got to try the água fresca and decided to bring home a whole jug of the strawberry basil.

Yes please!!…read more Scratch-made and unique flavor profiles?! No wonder they've won so many awards. We stopped in after dinner craving something sweet. Small batch ice cream popped up and after reading from fellow yelpers that Green Chile is the flavor to go with, we had to stop by. The green chili and the red chili with brown sugar were both unique and delicious. The red chili did give a big kick at the end. After sampling maple walnut, I was sold. I didn't even want to try anything else. Inside is very clean and the employee who working was very nice. He let me sample as many flavors as I liked and was very kind. Make sure you try before you drive through and regret it!

I did not know I bore any preconceived notions about what ice cream should be until they all melted…read moreaway in my mouth with that first spoonful of Green Chile. Before I'd even recovered from the thought "these Green Chile maniacs did it again and better than ever but oh I guess to be a dessert they tamed and removed any spiciness yeah that'd be weirds" BLAMMO- that sly bit of heat going down- a heat that winks at you and says, "you thought they'd ever leave me out?" What just happened? What does it say about me that I ever doubted this flavor combination? How is a presumably at least slightly charred pepper so seamlessly integrated into such silky ice cream? Hold up- there's a red chile pecan too!? And I could go on about the red Chile's personality- the gentleness of the pepper's heat, the reliability and support of the pecan chunks but having both chile ice creams Christmas-style in a single spoonful is a harmony of seemingly disparate ingredients working together to be so much more. The taste reminded of what America can be when community prevails. To put it simply, tasting that ice cream has changed how I and some of my loved ones understand the universe. One week from writing this the musical phenom Bad Buddy promises to bring the world together to dance with his NFL half time extravaganza. Maybe the world will then meet up at La Lecheria to eat this ice cream.

Sadly I had a negative experience when I tried this cafe. I needed a place to do a zoom meeting for…read morework. Looked for coffee cafes nearby and found this one. The inside is dirty and uninviting but I was needing a place right away so I committed. The carrot cake looked really good so I asked the girl for a piece. She was very odd. She started at me as if she couldn't believe someone asked for the carrot cake. She said something I couldn't understand. My friend jumped in to help but she just looked at him too. So odd. Eventually she handed me a styrofoam container with carrot cake in it. I also ordered a small Americano. The Americano was good and the carrot cake was good, but it was a small piece and not worth $13! I asked for the Wi-Fi password, but the other girl working in the counter also kind of stared at me and shrugged her shoulders. I asked again she said "I don't know it" I tried to ask the other girl and she said"we don't know it because no one's ever asked for it before". I said, "but you're a coffee shop and the Wi-Fi is there for guests. We just need the password." And she shrugged her shoulders and walked away. I had to do my Zoom call on my phone walking down the sidewalk because I wasn't staying there.

Slipped inside because I couldn't feel my fingers. Ordered the honeybee (espresso with honey,…read morelavender, and steamed milk) and the very last pastry in the case--a blue corn lavender doughnut. The latte didn't do anything for me...it was overly sweet without really tasting of honey or lavender, and was too thick or something. The doughnut, however, was a different story. The blue cornmeal gave it a really nice texture--a bit crunchy, and the icing had actual lavender, not just flavoring. Best $2 I've spent today! They also have Hagen Daaz, for those who are into eating ice cream when it's 33° outside.

Both dishes were excellent, with lots of flavor, although each was slightly overcooked. As you can see from the photos, the portions are large. The entire staff was friendly and helpful. We will definitely dine here again during our next trip to Santa Fe.

Happy Cinco De Mayo! We were the first ones there this evening and arrived 20 minutes before our…read morereservation. We were seated right away and ordered cocktails. She had the Cadillac Margarita and I ordered the Hibiscus Margarita. Both were very good. We ordered the yellowtail ceviche with the blue corn tortilla chips. The presentation and portion was impressive. This was put together very well and the freshness of all the combined ingredients were spot on. What a great start. We ordered our entrees and inquired about the wine by the glass selections. Unfortunately, this is where things started to go South. Our nice young server (first night serving) didn't know anything about the wines. They had wines from various regions that we were unfamiliar with the names and profiles. My wife chose a Malbec from Argentina which we are somewhat familiar with and I rolled the dice and selected a Sauvignon Blanc from Baja California. We asked for a sample taste of each and our server left and didn't come back until 5 minutes after our entrees were served. Fortunately both wines were good so they came back soon after with full glasses. My wife ordered the elk chops with crimini mushrooms and bacon on top of a black garlic mash potato. The presentation was beautiful. Her first bite and instantly her face looked like she was about to hurl. Apparently the first bite was grissle. She reluctantly pushed on and was careful on the next bites and said the elk was chewy. This is not how elk should be. I cook game proteins often. Elk should not be chewy. I checked it out and saw one chop was a little overcooked (medium) and the other chop was cooked proper with a hard sear and medium rare. She did say the few mushrooms and bacon she had were good. LOL! I had the whole fried red snapper with crab risotto and broccolini. This was impressive looking when it arrived and the fish was fried perfect. Unfortunately the risotto under the fish was al dente, pasty, and a little dry.. The cook did not use enough broth to cook the rice through gradually and reduced down and repeat with the broth like a good creamy risotto should be cooked. My wife hardly ate her meal and was still hungry and ordered their churros. You can't go wrong with homemade churros. When they arrived, it looked promising, but that first bite was very sweet and the exterior was over fried and the interior was doughy and not a good texture. If I had to guess, the oil was too hot when they fried them. What a bummer. Everything seemed disjointed and not executed correctly after the cocktails and appetizer. Perhaps it was an off night because there are a lot of good reviews. I wish we could have gave a good review because everything was presented so nice.
