"Nice local independent ice cream business. LOTS of flavor choices (like 30 - 40!). Some choices unique to the Latin X community, but mainly straight-ahead cones, cups, sundaes and shakes. A few non-IC snacks interestingly (chicharrons for one). The ice cream is good quality and tasty. They are adapting well with the necessities imposed by the pandemic. Like pretty much everywhere else in the States these days, you wait in line, but they're ahead of the game enough that when we were there last time one of the employees was walking down the line taking orders to be able to process people through faster. Smart! They are also masked etc so you get a safe feeling picking up your treat."

"Fast, friendly and patient. And they actually had the items that my boyfriend loves (the agua de nuez) most michoacanas always have an excuse of why they don’t have it available. But this place actually had it and it was closed to closing time. Also, the ice cream is delicious :)"

"Handmade ice cream with unique flavors and authentic Mexican snacks lead you to this surprisingly refreshing snack shop. Shopping next door and you want a quick snack? Looking for high quality ice cream but you don't want to try the same old flavors? Maybe you're just looking for some good old comfort food after a long day. Whatever the reason, chances are this parlour has what you're looking for."

"Random visit here; loved it. The paletas and ice cream are fantastic -- full of gigantic fruit chunks that are incredibly flavorful. Even the basic flavors, like strawberry, are so much more flavorful than anything you can find in a standard grocery store. In the future, I'll go out of my way to return here."

"Incredible one-of-a-kind Gourmet Latin flavors as well as all the favorites you would expect. They will be moving soon up to the great shopping center at Freedom Boulevard where Cassidy's Pizza is and La Princesa Market. Love. Love. Love their incredible quality homemade handmade ice creams A++++++"

"If you love yourself some great ice cream or Mexican goodies, this is the place to go! A few of these just opened up in my hometown and I'm glad to have finally found one in Santa Cruz County! They have a wide variety of frozen and natural snacks! A must try!"
