“This La Michaocana location is probably one of the best in the Chicagoland area. They don't skimp on the fruits. Their slushies are not that good tho, they are basically frozen juice that has been crushed/crumbled. They're not drinkable, it's basically shaved ice.“

I tried one in Chicago heights. it was not nearly as good as this one's ice cream. it's fantastic friendly people. I loved it. I missed it. I went back today and it was still great.

A lot of other locations I have been too over the years have given runny blizzards or don't stir the items and half the blizzard is just ice cream. This is my favorite location and I appreciate everything about this location.“

When I mentioned it at the window, I wasn’t expecting a free replacement—just some kind of option or explanation. Instead, I was offered nothing, which felt dismissive and rude.“

“I recently visited Mi Paletería Mi Lindo Michoacán, and I can't stop raving about it! This place is a hidden gem for anyone who loves unique ice cream flavors. One of my all-time favorites is the mazapán; it’s rich and creamy with that nostalgic flavor that takes me back. I was so disappointed to find out it was sold out during my last visit, but it just goes to show how popular it is!

Alongside their incredible ice creams, they also offer delicious elotes and refreshing mangonadas, which are perfect for a hot day. Every bite is bursting with flavor!

The cherry on top is the staff—they are incredibly friendly and always ready to help you choose the perfect treat. Their warmth makes the experience even better.

If you're in the area, do yourself a favor and stop by Mi Paletería Mi Lindo Michoacán. I can't wait to go back and hopefully snag that mazapán before it sells out again! Also they have buñuelos .“

“The girls working were very nice, but stressed it seemed. There was a woman with her daughter that kept arguing with the managers about returning a blizzard that was purchase the day before and got upset when the girls said that they have a same day policy. They still kept the line going, but honestly that exchange put a sour taste in my mouth. Literally why are you trying to return ice cream the next day? Anyways the ice cream was pretty good, but the workers don’t seem respected at all.“
