If you’ve never been to Mexico and tried a creamy Paleta then we highly recommend the next best place to do so — La Michoacana!

Paletas are Mexican-style frozen popsicles made with tropical fruits or creamy substances such as chocolate, milk, or nuts.

We recommend something with fresh fruit so try one of the Paletas, one of our favorites is the Fresas con Crema (Strawberry Cream)!

La Michocana is also popular for its ice creams, dorilocos, and fresh fruits.
