Our Treats

Discover Our
Frozen Treasures

From classic fruit paletas to rich crema nieves, every treat is a celebration of authentic Mexican flavor.

Paletas de Fruta

Whole fruit blended into refreshing, naturally sweet popsicles. Available in mango, tamarindo, strawberry, watermelon, and more seasonal varieties.

Nieves y Cremas

Hand-spun ice cream in both water-based nieves and rich dairy cremas. Think horchata, coffee, chocolate, and our signature vanilla bean.

Morenos

Our legendary chocolate ice cream, whipped to perfection with a hint of vanilla. A customer favorite that disappears fast every afternoon.

Leches Congeladas

Thick, creamy frozen milk drinks blended with your choice of flavor. Like a milkshake meets ice cream — rich, satisfying, and utterly delicious.

Yogurt Paletas

A tangy, refreshing twist on a classic. Our yogurt paletas are made with real yogurt and available in strawberry, mango, and mixed berry.

Seasonal Specials

Keep an eye out for our rotating seasonal flavors — from piña colada in summer to cajeta and dulce de leche in the cooler months.
