    Came in with my kids today — first time trying it, after living here for 4 years! The ice cream was delicious and the kids loved their flavors. We tried Gansito, birthday cake and double Chocolate chip. I loved their gansito, brings back memories of eating them at my grandmas house. Gerardo helped us at the counter. We’ll definitely be back! 😊🍦

    Such a great little date night stop! The ice cream was delicious, the service was amazing, and everything tasted even better because we didn’t have to share with the kids 😂 Definitely coming back!

    My first visit, we were.in the area and my husband wanted ice cream I went with a friend she had gotten 2 scoops and they were decent scoops. my husband being an ice cream lover I went with 3 scoops, I asked if they had lids,.(expecting a dome like lid) I chose 3 flavors and she gave 3 tiny scoops which really equaled 1 scoop and didnt quite fill the bowl and put a flat lid on and then still changed for 3 scoops. The Watermelon ice-cream was really good.

Other epic flavors: coconut paleta, banana, coffee, walnut, pepino con chile paleta, watermelon... *NEW*! Mini bars for $1, the new Halloween "Trick-or-Treat" (chocolate ice cream with chunks of KitKat, Reese's
