Everything so far I have tried has been amazing there is always a line but its worth the wait. The service is lacking big time especially if you go the last hour open. The products are so good I look pass the service and still give 5 stars.

The best paleteria I been to in SJAY! EVERYTHING is DELICIOUS & everyone there is friendly, just make sure to park on the street. Yes, they are always busy, but move fast! Our 3rd visit since finding it, and well keep going back for more! Everything from Elotes, Mangonadas, Tostilocos, nivea natural y MAS😋🤤

This place is great the large mangonada is a little pricey $10.50 the regular size is perfect $6.50 it fills you up.... this place has the best mangonada they use fresh mango not the soggy old one... they give you a lot!! Their ice cream is fresh and good too... parking is very limited you might have to park down the street and walk.

Terrible service. I got in line behind a man and the worker finished his order and left the store. Not even a “I’ll be right with you” or “give me a second I’ll be right back.” She left the store and I waited for a couple of minutes but nothing. Don’t waste your time here.

The choices are too many and too delicious! Dont take my word for it...go for yourself and youll see that 5 stars isnt enough to rate this place. Love the ice cream options and the juice options. So much more I cant even list here.

Review №19

Ice cream is delicious and I think their prices are fair. Especially because every time I get an item with fruit it is always fresh. The employees are okay. I never had a good or bad experience with them. The only downside is that they only accept cash and their parking lot is really small. Although this place is worth checking out on a hot day. Must try the diablito or mangonada!

Review №20

The service here is amazing and the mangonada is even better. We may not have gotten a great photo, but its the best Ive had in the East Bay. Dont be afraid to go in even if you dont peak Spanish. Everyone is super nice! We didnt chose to, but they even offered to let us try the different aguas frescas before we picked one. Just be warned: its cash only, so be sure to have enough on hand. Modest sizes are modestly priced. Grande sizes have rather grand prices. The mangonada pictured came in at $12 after tax.

It was fast and a very clean place. The food was enjoyable and very tasty! The only reason a took a star off was because it is a cash only place and I had to use their ATM. Other than that... great place!

Review №24

Try the mangonadas, they are delicious! This is a great place for Mexican style fruits and ice cream treats. We went early Saturday afternoon and it was pretty packed with people, plus there was a steady stream of people coming and going. The staff is very nice and there are quite a few of them to take your order. The only drawback is that its cash only, we didnt know that going in and there was no sign posted.

Review №29

Decently priced medium-sized, strawberry raspado with lechera for $4.26. The location gets pretty busy, but the staff are quick to take orders and give you your order. The raspado itself tastes a bit old so it may not be the freshest ingredients.

I came here last year with my friends on our way back home from Santa Cruz, and honestly they have the best mangonadas I’ve ever had🥺 it was really busy but after having the mangonada it made sense. I would definitely make the 2 hour drive just to have it again!

Good Mexican snacks, you can find almost anything from Mexican ice cream, to corn and tamales. Cash only and pretty pricey, bring a good amount of cash. Long lines on hot days and very small parking.

Review №64

This place makes a really good mangonada. Very good paleteria. It was very busy when we went, but thats a really good indicator that this place is really good.They have a really extensive range of ice cream flavors and have a good menu of snacks. I got the elote on a stick, and a large mangonada but would want to try other stuff too like tostilocos and other loaded chips.The only downside, which isnt the stores fault, is.... the parking sucks. We had to park a couple of blocks down to get to the shop. BUT, that shouldnt stop you from getting good Mexican treats and ice cream from this place!

Delicious ice cream treats but my gosh they were expensive! I also did not like the fact they dont accept debit cards. I had to take money out of the machine which cost me almost $2. When I was ordering my banana split, I specifically asked if they took card and somebody told me yes but I get to the cashier and she said no....😰
