Yum! The man behind the counter was super sweet, and friendly! He gave me an extra scoop of gansito which was very delicious. Along with my Oreo which was also great. My brother enjoyed his water based ice cream in a vanilla cone :)

El helado hambre was Muy simpatico. He was very talkative and friendly and served good ice cream. He gave my sister an extra scoop. The water ice cream was very very good. I would highly recommend el gansito Muy bien. Very family friendly restaurant and plenty of options for the fam.

I really wanted to love this Mexican ice cream shop, but unfortunately, the texture of the ice cream left something to be desired. While they offer an extensive variety of flavors and the staff is friendly, the ice cream itself lacks creaminess and often contains pieces of ice, resulting in a crunch that's not quite pleasant.

Amazing service. You can tell everything has a lot of love put into it. We tried a few items and everything was delicious. Pictured is a large Fruta en Vaso although it is still winter all the fruit was ripe and juicy. Will definitely be back!
The man is always really nice and friendly. I walked in with gummy candies so he asked if I liked them and added them to my mangonada. I highly recommend this place, perfect for a self care day when you need a treat.

Every ice cream I have had there is delicious. My favorites are avocado, queso, strawberries& cream and tamarind. My wife's favorite is the lime. Friendly atmosphere and great products. I highly recommend visiting them.

Fantastic ice cream. The spicy pineapple with the spicy tajin sauce was fantastic; I didn’t realize chili spice and pineapple went together so well.My kid loved her strawberry ice cream and my wife really enjoyed hers (I forget the name but it’s made of some sort of cake)I also got this fancy bread dessert which was nice.We will be back! Try the spicy pineapple with tajin sauce!

Love the ice creams here. Got spicy mango and pistachio, both tastes awesome. Tres leches cake is delicious, Best one I ever had. One star less because the place was smelling little off. Other than that people there are friendly.
Love the popsicles! This place is my all time favorite ice cream shop in Urbana-Champaign. Such a great hidden gem.

We had a couple of the fruity Popsicles. They were very tasty. This is a nice little place, hidden behind Walgreens at 5 points in Urbana.

Very delicious ice cream, but the owner is a creep. Muttered "hey sexy" at my friend as we walked in, and kept staring and being weird as we ordered. Some creepy eyebrow wiggling as well. And his kids were in there too. Great ice cream, creepy service
