This place was good 10 yrs ago. I'm glad I didn't tip. Don't waste your money here. I'm so pissed. I ordered 2 sincronizadas, ended up getting 2 quesadillas instead. I ordered 2 tortas one chicken and one lomo, ended up with the worst most expensive torta of my life. They were very stingy with the ingredients and the look was dry and nasty tasting. Just poorly made, period. I will NEVER come back. read more

Tocumbo Ice Cream - Fresas sin Crema - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - San Diego, California

First off the ice cream and food is fine. First time I went with the kids I noticed a mentally ill person pacing outside the store which put me in high alert. Second time I went with the kids the guy started randomly entering the store and sat next to me, got up and started going inside and out over and over. He would try to interact with the customers making us all uncomfortable, especially for the kids. My granddaughter ask to leave because of him. I would have expected that the store employees would have intervened. The other issue is when the employees take samples of the ice creams with the small spoons there hands are making contact with the ice cream inside the tubs. read more

Love this spot. This is one of my comfort foods. Whenever I'm on my way home driving down the 94 going east I think about exiting on Euclid Ave. if I'm having a ruff day or need a lift on my spirits I'll exit here and get me a treat. My favorites are the chamango and Aguas frescas. Yum yum. The girls that work there mostly speak Spanish but no worries they can help you if you only speak English because most of them are bilingual. They sell the bomb ice creams and have dairy free options too. They also sell sandwiches that we call tortas. They have lots of other treats as well. read more

Best chamango in SD!! This spot has been my favorite place to grab chamamgos. I've been coming here for over 5 years now. They are so delicious! They have a good amount of chamoy and Mexican candy. Always hits the spot. Staff is really sweet and works quickly for my orders. They also make snacks and food like sandwiches. I try something new every time! read more

Construction on the parking structure to the Diamond Neighborhoods Family Health Center meant parking in the surrounding neighborhood and a lucky stop at Tocumbo for a 7yr old foodie who decided to run errands with me! They are a "Mom and Pop" ice cream spot near Market Creek Shopping Plaza with lots of traditional flavors alongside my Latin American favorites like Mamey, Maracuya, y Guanabana! (Oh..that's Mamey, passion fruit and sour sop- as I've heard it called by my Trinidadian friends.) We had a fun conversation with the young woman behind the counter regarding how to explain what Mamey tastes like. The closest I can think of is "tuttie fruity" lol. Hopefully with the initiative to build up Southeast SD business and residential spaces Tocumbo can bring smiles to many more faces for years to come. read more

First time here and it was pretty good. My co-worker told me to try it. I got the pollo torta with chipotle sauce, tomatoes, guacamole, cebolla, and chile verde. The torta was also toasted and it was delicious. I tried the Agua de Fresa and it was good. There was only one guy working at the time and it was busy. People didn't seem bother about it since this place is worth it. It was clean and plenty of seating and good music. read more

This place is pretty good especially during the hot summer days. They have homemade ice creams, mangonadas, diabilas, chamangos, sandwiches, candies, etc. They're located in a small strip mall with enough parking space and the line can be long during summer but it goes by pretty quick. I usually just grab ice cream and their chamangos here which are good. They use real fruit in their ice creams And drinks which are super refreshing! I've never tried their sandwiches although they look good. Their prices have gone up tremendously and they got rid of their points reward system. read more

Wanted to post an updated menu for here! I've lived down the street from Tocumbo for a while, but the main thing my best friend and I come for is their coconut agua fresca. They only serve it on the weekends though, so we don't get it all the time, which makes it more special! Like most places now, prices for some items I feel are a bit steep, however some items are priced fairly. Just depends on what you're looking for. Sometimes the line can get backed up, but they do their best to keep it going if your order is quicker than the person ahead. It's always clean and cool in there as well! read more

My boyfriend took me to this place on a hot day for ice cream and for him it was for the aqua fresca juices. I was down for the idea and trying a new place. I ordered the corn and mamey scoops of ice cream, because I have never seen them on a menu and was intrigued. They have so many different flavors from sweet to savory. My guy ordered a fresh juice drink, which was also good and refreshing. I wish we had more spots like this in the Bay Area, serving up fresh refreshing sweet juice and ice creams. read more

Found myself in the neighborhood while looking for a place for wings. Since I'm a sucker for all things ice cream, decided to stop by here for a quick treat. I ordered a small mangoneada. After taking a bite of the small mangoneada, I knew I had made a huge mistake... I should have ordered the MEGA mangoneada!! Damnittttt. My bf concocted his own milkshake creation - a blend of Oreo and Bubulubu ice cream. I told him that sounded like a weird mix and shouldn't do it. I was wrong. That shit was tasty AF. read more

My boyfriend took me here because he usually gets chamango from here. To me, there style of chamango is different from other places I've had. It's more of a chamoy slushy with chopped mangos on top w/ Mexican candy. I prefer the mango smoothie kind with chamoy in between. We also got a mangoneada but the ice cream was lime. We wanted to try something new so we got that but it was way too sour for me, my bf liked it though lol. Also their strawberry drink is pretty good here! Really great staff! They're all very kind! read more

I love this place and the location in Main Street. Drink: this is one of the best chamango I have. It's different compare to other place. Also the fresada and the mangoneada are good.

People are nice and friendly The only thing I did not like at this location is parking. Parking is small read more

This place is always busy and pack. They have the best chamango ever! Hands down!!! This place is the best for any Mexican snacks & desserts cravings!!! When I use to live a block away from here, I always give money to my little cousin to swing by and grab me my favorite thing there....hot Cheetos locos, aka tostiloco, with hot Cheetos instead of Tostitos!!!! If you are going to order that, make sure you grab a bag from the wall and get in line and hand it to them when you order. Also ordered fresas con crema (strawberries & cream), it's good but not as super good as the ones I had at Botellos fruit bar. Hot Cheetos locos: -pickled pork rinds/skin : jiggly gelatinous -cucumber & jicama -japanese peanuts : crunchy honey shell coat -chaka chaka : skinny tamarind candy (not the straw one) -chili & chamoy read more

Hmm...looks are deceiving folks. In this case, I feel like a dodo for having spent $15 (forgot to use my Yelp check-in offer for the discount) on 2 mangoneadas. You take a number and wait to be called. This was a cross between an ice cream parlor and a taco shop (you can order tortas and other food on the other side of the shop). The cashier let me mix the mango and the lime ice creams. The kicker is their chamoy sauce/straw. Eating those flavors brought me back to my childhood when my cousin was obsessed with lucas. It was refreshing, but I left wishing I had spent my money on something more substantial like tacos or burritos. read more

Neveria is your stop if you're looking for ice cream, raspados, fresas con crema, tostitos, fruit salads ETC! their ice creams are very rich & come in interesting mexican flavors! ---fresas con crema: (interestingly enough it came with granola on top) the fruit was fresh but i wish they served it with both ICE and ice cream instead of just cream... we asked for shaved ice on the side which they gave us for free but the ice was too chunky ---mango ice cream: not bad, but more like a sorbet gotta catch a soccer game with your dessert? no problem! they've got TV's inside NOTE: Credit card minimum is $5 i think! read more

After walking my dogs today I was in the mood for ice cream. First thing a did was to check out yelp and I found several locations in my neighborhood. "Neveria Tocumbo" offers a 20% off your purchase when you check in with Yelp. "Nice deal" because I wanted some ice cream. So I checked in and proceeded to look down the counter at about 18 different ice cream flavors (yummy). It took me a moment to decide and the clerk was helpful by offering me samples of any of the ice cream. I tried a vanilla bean flavor, coffee flavor, and strawberry shortcake. The vanilla bean and the coffee flavors were good but the strawberry shortcake was delicious. It taste just like strawberry shortcake except it was cold and creamy. The shop was clean and there was plenty of sitting room. The clerk was busy when I first walked in but she stopped her task, washed her hands, greeted me and proceeded to give me great customer service. She was helpful and polite. She gave me the feelilng that I was welcomed in here shop. read more

Definitely not the Same-Ole. My initial obsession is the corn (elote) ice cream. If you've ever tried good atol de elote (the sweetened corn beverage) it's pretty similar in taste & texture, except of course that they turned it into ice cream (and there's no cinnamon, but that might be good too). Michael tried the fresa con queso ice cream, which was more strawberry than cheese, but still good. As the other reviews suggest, they have a lot of non-vanilla choices. I will return to torment myself as to whether I will try new flavors or stick with what I know to be excellent. I also must emphasize that they serve actual food here too, and I had my very first ahogada torta. A Torta ahogada (literally "drowned sandwich") is your basic pork-and-fixins torta submerged in a sauce made primarily of chile de arbol. The girlfriend complained of numbed lips, but my only complaint was the two flimsy napkins. Delectable. (More napkins available upon request.) Furthermore, we came in on Sunday afternoon, and bless their hearts, they had my football game on a lovely screen overhead. Next time I'm going to ask them to scratch my back. (A little lower... a little higher ... ah right there!) read more

Seriously my favorite place to get mangonedas!!! (If I spelt that right lol) My bestfriend introduced me to this place and I fell in love!! I go once a month to get my Mexican fix... The ice creams here are ALL made FRESH. It is amazingly good. You get a lot to choose from and I haven't regretted on anything I have picked!! The mangoneda is so yummy!! Fresh mango ice cream and chunks of mango with chamoy and chili powder.. It is amazing.. I love it. I can't get enough of it. They also serve food like TORTAS and these TORTAS are HUGE!! I'm talking about two people serving!! It's so worth it. I normally get turkey or ham.. And it comes with chilies and carrots and onions on the side.. (Mouth is drooling)!! And I always ask for a side of their special hot sauce and they always give me a large bowl with it.. I you gotta try!! The line can get VERY LONG like a 10-30 min wait.. But these people are amazing they really do try to get to everyone and get all the orders out. Everything here is very fresh and made from scratch. I love it. I will definitely come back to this restaurant when it is time ^_^ read more

Who doesn't LOVE this place?! Homemade ice cream with real fruits!! Add the Chamoy for me and I am one happy camper! I love the chunks of mango but sometimes they're not that ripe. But the ice cream definitely makes up for that. Super refreshing on a hot day and if you check in on Yelp you get 20% off! read more

I have lived in SD all my life and this has got to be the TOP SPOT if you want a good neveria. The reason i dont say fruteria is because fruit is not their focal point- & who can really mess up a fruit salad? Anyway, home made ice cream & paletas(ice cream pops)- AMAZINGGG! Their nieve de limon tastes just like it does in mexico. This place is authentic & you will find flavors here that you cant find anywhere else. I wont rate based on food-because i dont come here for food- although their coctel de camaron is actually really good. Aguas frescas, nieves, chamangos, diablitos, fruit salads, fresas con crema, mangoneadas... ALL delicious- just look at the pictures. read more

This is what I have tried so far here & it has not let me down yet. Go to items!! Mangoneada, Chamango & any of their homemade ice cream bars!!

This is a great ice cream/paleta/fruit/torta place. The menu does have variety, but on the down side it seems that their prices are a little higher than average. The staff is friendly and they do everything pretty quickly. I got 3 scoops of ice cream, which for 5.99 seems a little steep, but I have to say the ice cream was very good. I got pistachio, mint chip, and limon. All three had good flavor, not too little nor too much....and the mint was extremely thick that it was hard to scoop it off. Plus the scoop sizes are generous, it's not just a rounded scoop...it was more like 2 per flavor. read more

Came for the CORN ICE-CREAM. I know, it sounds weird but it's quite delicious. If you've ever had creamed corn I'm sure you could understand how corn could be turned into ice-cream. My friend and I also had the like sherbert and mazapan ice-cream. The lime is refreshing. The mazapan was not how I expected it to taste. I thought it would be more like sweet almond, but it tasted more like a nutter butter. Very rich. Still pretty good though but just not the flavor I was hoping for. The vanilla churro wasn't hot when it came out, but the texture was great. Like Disneyland churro texture. My friend's churro was nicely filled with cream but mine was only filled on the end. I'd definitely come back for corn ice-cream. And I'll give their churros another try. Maybe the chocolate churro next time. read more

Going here made me so happy! It made my day! I found this place when I was looking for paletas, but I was even more excited for the nieves. I lived in Mexico for a few months last summer and I fell in love with nieves there. In Oaxaca, a man would push a cart down the street outside my apartment while playing music and yelling "nieves!". I loved it and I would go get limón nieves for 15 pesos (less than $1 usd). This place brought me back to those good memories. The limón nieve was so good. It's my favorite flavor. The paletas were also very good. However, the nieves have my heart. At first, it seems rather chaotic inside. You have to take a number and then wait for them to call your number. There's also a sign on the back wall with the current number being served. Once they call your number, you can walk up to the counter and place your order. They give it to you and then you wait in line to pay. It's a good system once you understand it. I really liked that I could practice my Spanish without feeling weird about it. Usually, I'm really hesitant to speak Spanish when I'm ordering, but it seemed like the only option here. All of the employees only spoke Spanish to me, which might be challenging if you don't speak any Spanish. For me, it ended up being a plus. I highly recommend this place. Good quality at a somewhat reasonable price. read more

The small town of Tocumbo Michoacan Mexico is serious about the ice cream business. So serious the towns entrances sports a 3 story high statue of a paleta (Popsicle) and Ice Cream cone. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v635/mrstranger/food/TT14-g.jpg The modest Neveria Tocumbo shop in San Diego is just as serious and proud about their business and it shows. All Ice Cream and Paletas are handmade in house using only quality natural ingredients. The thing I love most about Mexican Creamery's is they do not shy away from making exotic flavors. Some of my favorite ice cream flavors here include Elote (Corn), Guayaba (guava), and Rose Pedals. Corn Ice cream is they closest thing I can get to a taco in the ice cream world and I love it. Guava is such a refreshing tropical flavor. Rose Petals what can I say, so exotic with the beautiful creamy aftertaste of tiny crushed rose petal. Today I tried a very tasty Ice Cream rendition of Bubu Lubu. Bubu Lubu is a Mexican chocolate bar with a layer of strawberry-flavored jelly and a layer of marshmallow. http://candyaddict.com/blog/2007/02/09/candy-review-bubu-lubu/ They have so many more flavors you will just have to sample yourself. The owner and workers are very friendly, helpful, and generous with samples. With the Run in the mill Frozen Yogurt and Ice Cream establishments on every corner this is such a great place for those willing to expand their palettes.

I have mix feelings about this place. I came here with my boyfriend. Everything looked yummy. He had 2 scoops of ice cream on a waffle cone. One was bubblegum and the other pistachio. I ordered the Mangoneada and 2 strawberry pops. First of all, all their ice creams did taste fresh and good. The ice cream my boyfriend got were good but I didn't really taste much of a difference from other stores (the fresh made ones). As for the Mangoneada.. two scoops of mango ice cream, deeelish! And definitely tasted fresh. But they had the red powder, liquid and candy (sorry I don't know the names of these). It was an alright mix but I think there was too much red powder and the liquid in it. I had to scoop a lot out to even try to finish the ice cream. Too bad it wasn't enough because later that night when we went out for dinner. I felt really queasy and sick. I could barely look at my food without feeling nausea. When my boyfriend told me he felt the same way, we just knew it was the Mangoneada. Maybe our stomachs weren't tough enough to handle it but it definitely made our stomachs feel awful. I'm sure a lot of people have eaten this thing a bunch of times so I just let it go. We also tried their ice cream pops. You can tell they're fresh and homemade but I thought they were okay. Overall, it was okay. The ice cream was the only thing I liked. When you come in, take a number and wait. Then you tell them what you want then pay at the cash register. The ladies working there were friendly and spoke some English. I would like to come back but my stomach is telling not yet so we'll see! read more

Okay. The scenery totally changed once I pulled up in the plaza. But that didn't scare me away from coming here. The store isn't nicely decorated, but that's not what everyone comes for. Once you get in, you take a number and wait to be called. I ordered the mangoneada (mango ice cream, cube mangoes, chamoy, chili powder and their famous straw). The girl asked if I wanted more chamoy, with no extra charge :)) I was definitely a happy camper. She also suggested for me to get the chamango, which is essentially the same except with shaved ice. Definitely getting this next time I'm in town! read more
