“The line might be long and the parking might be tight but overall its always worth the experience! Nothing better than receiving a warm welcome with a genuine smile, seriously, the hospitality combined with delicious food, makes this the number 1 go to “Fast Food” in the area =)“

“I had an amazing experience at Limberia Tropical Algarete! The food was absolutely incredible—fresh, flavorful, and truly authentic. Every bite was packed with taste and clearly made with care. What really made the visit stand out, though, was the service. It was even better than the food! The staff was welcoming, attentive, and made sure everything was perfect from start to finish. Highly recommend this spot if you’re looking for great food and even better hospitality. Our family will definitely be coming back!“

“I had a great experience here, especially considering it was late at night. The staff welcomed me when I walked in and treated me just like any other customer, which I appreciated.

The ice cream was delicious, and the staff were knowledgeable about the products. They were able to answer my questions about different flavors and provide helpful information about the flavor profiles, which made choosing something much easier.

One thing that really stood out to me was the staff's work ethic. During slower periods, I noticed everyone staying productive—cleaning, organizing, and taking care of other tasks rather than sitting around on their phones. That may seem like a small thing, but it made a very positive impression.

The cherry flavor I chose had a natural, enjoyable flavor and didn't have the overly artificial taste I've experienced with some other ice creams. The portion size was appropriate for the price, and I felt the overall pricing was reasonable.

Overall, great service, good-quality ice cream, reasonable prices, and a staff that clearly takes pride in keeping the place running well.

I would definitely recommend stopping here and will be back!“

“Was Working in town and decided to stop by as I’ve heard great things about UConn Diary Bar. There were commencements going on so lines were a little long but worth the wait. I got a medium 3 scoop black raspberry which was fresh and delicious. Definitely would go back again.“

“We are glad we stopped by for a sweet treat today! Everything was delicious, the whole Pro Vinyl Crew was happy ☺️“

“Super friendly atmosphere and delicious sweet treats! The mochi was delicious and the dogs thoroughly enjoyed their ice cream. Tried Mexican Fried Dough that was delicious too!“

“Sanai was absolutely wonderful to work with. Her work ethic truly stood out she was dependable, hardworking, and took pride in doing her job well. She consistently went above and beyond to make sure my order was done correctly and on time. On top of that, she was incredibly sweet and kind, which made every interaction a pleasure. She brought such a positive energy to the workplace and made everyone around her feel comfortable and supported.“

“One of the best places on earth“

“I had been craving MOOYAH's for a while but hate to visit when the college kids are around. Finally went up the other day and was not impressed. The quality of food has gone WAY downhill. My burger was burnt and just tasted nasty. Also watched one of the workers take his hat off scratch and play with his hair right by the food then put his hat back on and go right back to handling food without washing his hands.“
