“I've been by this place a bunch of times but never had the time to walk inside until today. And now that I've tried it, I can say I will definitely be back.Their frozen fruit/other bars alone are incredible. There are so many fun and interesting flavors, and they look handmade with real pieces of fruit or other ingredients inside. My partner for the elotes which were creamy and spicy but delicious. I had the horchata which doesn't look like much in the photo but it was amazing. It was sweet, cinnamony, and creamy. They added a little bit of ice to make it perfectly chilled and refreshing. I would absolutely get the horchata again, but I would love to try the frozen bars as well. The price is great and I absolutely recommend it!“
“Crepes have amazing taste! As always, fantastic ice creams at La Michoacana (better than any other establishments I know), but wow, the crepes here are the thing to get. If you're unsure what to get, try the simple crepe with cajeta (ka-hey-ta) sauce and add a scoop of some flavor of ice cream for $1 extra. Outstanding!“
“Great family owned michoacana. They're always friendly and their quesadillas are delicious! If I'm ever in a hurry, I call my order in, and it's an easy pick up with no mistakes on my orders.Kid-friendliness: Always sweet to my kids and have baby high chairs“
“I stop in almost every morning on the way to work for coffee and wake up wraps or something similar to eat. The staff works extremely fast to get the morning rush crowd in and out fast. Always friendly and never a wrong order. Love this Dunk in Donuts.“
“If you're on the hunt for a delightful ice cream experience that sets itself apart from the overly sweet confections found elsewhere, look no further than La Michoacána Ice Cream Shop in Des Plaines. This little gem of a place has stolen my heart with its unique and incredibly tasty ice cream offerings, and I can't wait to share my fantastic experience with you.From the moment you step inside, you are greeted by a warm and inviting atmosphere that immediately puts you in the mood for some delicious treats. The cheerful staff is always ready to guide you through the wide array of flavors, and they do so with genuine enthusiasm and passion for their craft.Now, let's talk about the star of the show - the ice cream! What I love most about La Michoacána is that their ice cream is not overpoweringly sweet like some other popular chains. Instead, it strikes the perfect balance, allowing the flavors to shine through without overwhelming your taste buds with sugar. It's a refreshing change that lets you truly appreciate the natural goodness of each flavor.During my visit, I had the pleasure of trying three flavors: cheesecake, Oreo, and crème. And boy, were they a revelation! The cheesecake flavor was like taking a spoonful of real cheesecake but in frozen form. It had that unmistakable tanginess and creamy texture that left me craving for more. The Oreo flavor was a chocolatey dream come true, with generous chunks of Oreo cookies swirled into the velvety ice cream. As for the crème flavor, it was a classic yet extraordinary treat that felt like tasting frozen clouds of pure bliss.One thing that truly stood out was the undeniable freshness of the ice cream. You can feel that it's made with love and care, using high-quality ingredients to create a product that transcends the ordinary.On my way out, I couldn't resist taking home a couple of coconut sticks. Let me tell you, it was the best decision ever! The coconut sticks were a revelation in themselves—crunchy on the outside, and delightfully moist and flavorful on the inside, with a generous coating of coconut flakes. It was the ideal ending to an already remarkable ice cream adventure.La Michoacána Ice Cream Shop has officially earned a place in my heart and my list of favorite dessert spots. Their dedication to creating extraordinary ice cream experiences without the overwhelming sweetness is a true testament to their artistry. If you're in Des Plaines or anywhere nearby, do yourself a favor and pay them a visit. You won't be disappointed; in fact, you'll likely become as smitten with their ice cream as I am. So, what are you waiting for? Treat yourself to an ice cream journey like no other at La Michoacána Ice Cream Shop!“
“It's weird to review a grocery store. The chain stores are all the same, right? Nope. I have probably been to 3 or 4 different Mariano stores. This one is by far the best! Whole Foods is one thing, you expect each location to have a unique touch. Lincoln Park is the gold standard with a coffee bar, extra space to hang out and an amazing beauty section. But for Mariano's, you would expect each location to be similar. This location has Stan's Donuts. I am not referring to the packaged Stan's Donuts that are a far cry from the fresh baked variety. There is an actual kiosk of freshly baked Stan's. Plus, only steps away is a Starbucks. A full on Starbucks not the fake mini store within a store. The store feels spacious with extra wide isles.Honestly, it is completely out of the way from me but I will make the trip for the comfort, selection and the extra super nice lady at the self checkout - she was the happiest, friendliest and most helpful grocery store worker. It can't be a fun job, but she seemed to love it.The only issue, I am on day 3 of keto- now back to day 1 after 3 mini lemon pistachio old fashioned donuts.“
“We got an ice cream cookie dough pizza cake! It was amazing! A cookie crust with a layer of ice cream and whipped cream and topped with cookie dough bites. The store was clean and the service was excellent. The worker helped us pick out the best cake and was super nice.“
“Food was very good. I ended up with chilaquiles (with chicken breast) and my friend got the pupusas and dobladas. Really solid, and I appreciate the subtle differences in flavors between the Guatamalan dishes and standard Mexican fare. However, only 4/5 because ordering (in English) was difficult. I tried to get grilled skirt steak and a green chicken enchilada (as a single item, listed that way on the menu) but what was originally brought out was 3 green chicken enchiladas. I explained the issue and thought it was clear but ended up getting brought the chilaquiles. My friend got his pupusas but the dobladas was not brought and had to be ordered again. The food was delicious and I'm not a picky eater so this wasn't a huge deal, but others that need to order a specific thing, in English, may have trouble. I will be back though, and I will brush up on my Spanish.“
