La Michoacana Costa Mesa

Do not come here, shady business practices. The menu lists “Ice Cream Crepe” for $14.98, and directly underneath lists banana, Nutella, masapan, lechera, and strawberry.

Then underneath that it shows “Additional toppings 99 cents: peanuts, granola, etc”

This makes it appear as if the ice cream crepe includes banana, Nutella, masapan, lechera, and strawberry .. and that the additional toppings listed after “additional toppings 99 cents” would cost an additional 99 cents

Well apparently ALL toppings are an additional 99 cents .. so I ended up paying $21 for a crepe with a single scoop of ice cream when the price on the menu very clearly says $14.98.

I recommend anybody who is thinking about coming here to instead check out “Crème
de La Crepe”. Their crepes are top tier and cost $9-$10 each.

Excellent service, very clean and everything very delicious

The girl working wasn’t able to explain to us what they have to offer regardless how many times we asked. Just kept saying how many scoops and sizes it comes in.
The menu is underwhelming and not a single pic of what they offer. Basically you need to know what you want.
At the end we went with some specialty, which was $22!!! First time stopping here and now it’s clear why you never see foot traffic here. I can’t believe I actually paid $22 for 2 scoops of ice cream on top of strawberries. Never again.

Before it was one of the best establishments and good service, now I don't say the same, exaggerated prices and the fruit is not worth mentioning. I just ordered cucumber, jicama and mango, they gave me mango from a day before and only two of them thought they put Tajín, no lemon and no jicama, they gave me and there were no more clients to say, they were very busy, I think it was all of Michoacana.

Very friendly staff and a good selection of ice cream, desserts.

Horrible rude customer service. I bought a good amount of stuff and they want to charge you 10 cents for a bag. Even this other guy that i saw buy something he bought a good amount of stuff and had his baby he asked for a cup the girl Jasmine kind of had an attitude like she took pleasure in saying well normally we charge and gave him the cup. Had I known this I wouldn't have tipped. She was kind of rude about it. Any other michoacana they don't charge me a bag. Pizza d oro the restaurant next to this place gave me a bag and I just bought a salad and a slice of pizza from them. I have bought things previously from this establishment before and they have given me a bag especially buying a good amount of stuff. This isn't a grocery store.

OK, if you’ve never been to a Mexican ice cream and snack shop, you need to make some changes in your life. There is something for almost everyone in a place like La Michoacána. Ice cream, paletas (fresh made popsicles), mangoneadas, nachos, tostilocos, Cheetos con queso, crepes, aguas frescas, Elotes, milkshakes, fresh fruit, and I can go on and on. Seriously, you really can find something for almost everyone here. So if you want to keep it super safe and gringo, stick with simple, but really good, stuff like ice cream, paletas, and nachos. Their ice cream is made fresh in store every day. When you’re ready to channel your inner Mexican, you need to step it up and try a mangoneada. It’s an amazing combination of fresh mango chucks, ice cream, chamoy, and chili powder. Yes chili powder! The combination of sweet, salty, sour, and savory in your mouth is a complete flavor explosion. I highly recommend choosing fruit ice cream flavors for your mangoneada. Limon (lime), mango, and maracuya (passion fruit) are all top notch. Once you’ve had a mangoneada you’re ready for just about anything.Some of my favorite items are:Mangoneada ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Homemade ice cream (your favorite flavor) ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Aguascalientes Frescas ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Cheetos con queso⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Paletas ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️My guide on how I use the 5 star system:⭐️ = Not good⭐️⭐️ = Not terrible, but would not get again⭐️⭐️⭐️ = Solid, but I’d try something else before this again⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ = Really liked it!

The service is no longer good compared to the prices they charge.

Delicious and the workers are very nice.

Polite staff

Good ice cream!

Been coming here for a while even though the prices are high and the service is typically mediocre. Clearly I’m addicted or maybe I just miss mexico so damn much I keep coming back here. Idk! Haha my favorite is the esquite with hot Cheetos

I love their Mangonada there.

Great ice cream with delicious add-ons. Try it and I'm sure you'll like it.

They are running a promotion, and the employees don't even knowHow does it work
