I went in today at 3:30 pm I ask for a chicharrón preparado with mayonnaise instead of cream I got my order but I'm pretty sure they use cream I went back and I told them this is not what I ask for and I told them I wanted one with mayonnaise so one of the girls told me that i have to pay half the price if I wanted one more so my question is how the hell i have to pay again if it was their mistake she also told me to toss the chicharrón so she can tell her boss that I was the one who toss it away i didn't get any refund I pay with cash

Delicious paletas made with fresh ingredients and traditional Oaxacan flavors. Our family loved the fruit and chili paletas and were impressed with the chunks of fresh fruit. The strawberry paleta stole the show and I was especially pleased that it wasn't overly sweet. We will definitely be returning the next time we visit Santa Monica!

Wonderful selection of handmade paletas and ice cream! Highly recommend on a hot day, or any other day!

10/10! This place has many options of homemade ice cream and paletas that look and taste amazing. I got the mangonada and elote and my boyfriend had the cookies and cream ice cream, both were delicious. The man helping us was quick and helpful. The decor is straight from Mexico, there are many seating options and music playing. I would recommend coming here if you're looking for authentic mexican treats.

Amazing authentic Oaxacan deserts!! Plus the staff of all very sweet!I've been to oaxaca and it really feels like I'm eating ice cream straight from the motherland! Plus on the day I went they had Tejate which is a Oaxacan delicacy, so you already know I HAD to get it!It's considered the drink of the gods in Oaxaca pre Hispanic times It's like a masa drink so it's a very filling beverage! If they have it! TRY IT!

For starters the ice cream is really good, but the service here is so terrible. The ice cream was so good that my friend wanted to order a large amount for an event he was having, he asked one of the employees who happened to be the owner and he was extremely nice and ready to put a same day order when his wife came and started yelling at him that he couldn't do that. She said the order had to be days in advance and she was just so extremely rude. Their dynamic is so weird, he looks like he's scared of her and it was just such an extremely awkward situation!! When she left, her husband apologized and told my friend he'd give him his card so he could contact him for future events, which was kind of him but the experience was so uncomfortable!

Good, but not super-duper impressive. The paletas were not bad, but were not among the best I've tried in greater LA. However, it has a very convenient location and nice seating area.

Love this place. Amazing selection of ice cream and paletas (popsicles). They have mangonada as well. Big fan of the paletas... fresa con crema (strawberry and cream), mango, passion fruit and pistachio.

What a cute place! Located across from target. Street metered parking only so not very convenient. Very friendly owners/staff. They have all kinds of delicious ways /options to get sugar into your bod!! They allow you to sample. Lots of cool interesting flavors!

I would not recommend going Monday through Friday around 3pm. There are lots of schools in the area and it can get very loud and crowded. That being said, they have lots of items to chose from and it all looks so good!!! I only got the esquite but it was great! I have many friends who have tried and recommend various other items and I'll definitely be back for desert sometime! The establishment is clean and everyone makes themselves busy to ensure your order is made right and in a timely manor. Prices are not bad either!
awesome!!! thier elotes amazing!!! omg!!! just bring change for parking. thank you so much appreciate it

If you are looking for something refreshing after a day at the beach look no further. They have tons of flavors of paletas, Aguas and ice cream. The paleta was about $2.50.

holy smokes! I needed something refreshing after sitting in traffic and the sign outside featuring an awesome looking Mangoneada drew me in. Either the one in the picture was an understated version, or I am really just blind- as what I got was insanely awesome! Besides the typical stuff normally found in a Mangoneada, this one had chunks of candied Tamarindo, chili strawberry gummy stringy things, and a tamarind straw (like a Boba straw but slathered in MORE candied Tamarindo I would have photographed it first but I didn't want to delay my enjoyment any further. Totally hit the spot and I will certainly be back for more!
