Start with the Classics: Our Signature Scoops
For those who love traditional, creamy textures, our Mexican ice cream is where it all begins. Unlike typical ice cream shops, we use real milk, real sugar, and fresh ingredients — no artificial fillers or syrups here.
Some of our must-try flavors include:
–
- Ferrerro Rocher – rich, nutty, and indulgent
- Pistachio – smooth, creamy, and lightly salted
- Mazapán – peanut-based and nostalgic, with a soft, crumbly texture
- Nuez (Walnut) – a subtle, buttery flavor that pairs beautifully with cool fall weather

Don’t Skip the Paletas — They’re Legendary
Our handcrafted paletas are the heart of what makes Las Michoacanas special. These aren’t your average frozen pops — they’re made in-house with real fruit, milk, and bold flavor combinations.
We recommend:
–
- Mango con chile – sweet, spicy, and refreshingly tangy
- Coconut – creamy and tropical, with real coconut shavings
- Strawberries and cream – a customer favorite, smooth and naturally sweet
If you’re looking for a portable, mess-free option while you shop or explore the area, paletas are the perfect grab-and-go frozen dessert. Want a visual preview? Browse flavor shots on our Pinterest page.
