EXCELLENT Based on 16 reviews Posted on Natasha DeckmanTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The pistachio ice cream is the best I've ever had!! It's loaded with real pistachio. Every flavor I've tried I've enjoyed.Posted on Derls RamosTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. La Michoacana at Rancho Cordova has quickly become one of my family’s absolute favorite spots, and for good reason. From the moment you walk in, you're greeted with vibrant colors, the sweet smell of fresh fruit and cream, and above all: genuine, welcoming smiles. Alexis, in particular, makes every visit memorable. He’s incredibly helpful, patient, and fantastic with kids! Whether it’s helping them pick a flavor or encouraging them to try something new, Alexis brings warmth and energy that truly elevates the whole experience. The paletas and ice creams here are phenomenal. You’ll find all the familiar classics you love, but what really sets La Michoacana apart are the unique flavors they’ve dreamed up themselves. Every trip is a chance to discover something new and delicious. What impresses me most is the consistency! Every visit, every scoop, every smile, it’s all top-tier. The quality never slips, and the customer service is always exceptional. It’s no surprise this has become a go-to favorite for my kids and me. If you’re looking for a treat that’s as joyful as it is tasty, La Michoacana is it. Highly, highly recommend! 🍦Posted on Alma SantosTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Amazing customer service.

We tried several paletas and loved them all. I was pleasantly surprised at how spicy the mango with chile tasted. Usually they’re on the sweeter side but not this one. I highly recommend visiting.
