Went there to try it. No prices on menu. Overpriced ice cream compared to other ice cream parlors. I would go somewhere better for the same price.

extremely overpriced

Hoy fui por un helado de café y la muchacha tras la caja me dijo que no podían venderme Helado porque el Helado estaba “muy Helado y muy duro” que tipo de servicio, a caso el Helado tiene que estar caliente
Les debe dar vergüenza y mejor digan que no quieren trabajar por no ir hasta atrás por el Helado, porque la otra muchacha trabajando me dijo que si lo tenían pero la de la caja no me lo quería servir

Best spicy mangonada and pina colada my wife and I have had since moving to Boston! So glad to have this spot around the corner from us.

Very small little shop but it does not disappoint! They have a wide variety of treats and lots of different flavors for the shaved ice and ice cream flavors as well. I had the Minuta regular with mango, passion fruit and pineapple flavor and my husband had the Guanabanazo and both were delicious. We bought some frozen popsicles to bring home in a variety of flavors that are made there, which tasted great and a fair price. Can’t wait to go back and try something else!! Once I got home we realized they have a new and bigger location in Chelsea that I look forward to visiting also.

Gringos be aware! I went there after highly rated on Yelp, and it was weird no prices listed on the menu. Saw they had Richardson ice cream, even though their sheet did not match the actual Richardson flavors. I ordered one scoop in a cup of ice cream. They lady at the counter had trouble speaking English, I think done intentionally. I was shocked to see the bill was $10.16 when a gallon of Richardson ice cream is $7.50. I asked other non Hispanic people area and say the charge you more based being white. This business needs to be investigated for 2 sets of prices.

Not to manny employees so service was slow. And expensive. Got a small milkshake with whole cream and sprinkles and it was $10

I saw this place on TikTok and wanted to check it out. Omg! Who ever recommend this place thank you so much. Is so good. Tooooo bad is far from where I live but is a good choice to have when I am near by. I order the Mangonada and fruit salad. I am coming back next time I'll see if I can order ahead because the place is very small.

My experience was just OK. I visited East Boston with some friends on a hot summer day, and we decided to get some frozen treats to cool down. Upon checking reviews for shops around the area, we decided to give this place a try. I had pretty high hopes. The line was long, and we waited outside for about 10-15 min before we were able to step inside the shop. It's an incredibly small store that can feel cramped when there are so many people inside, but they have air conditioning. THERE ARE NO PRICES CLEARLY POSTED FOR ANY OF THE ITEMS!!!!!!!!The food was OK. My friend and I each got a cholado, and my other friend got a mangonada. I wasn't a big fan of the cholado. The watermelon was dry, and the mango seemed unripe. In general, it was pretty tasteless. The cholado was $10!! My friend was indifferent about the mangonada. I probably would not return if other options were available,
I really loved the ice cream here! I got the fruit salad with oreo ice cream and the mangonada. The mangonada was a little bit spicy but with the fruit salad it was a nice balance. The people working are very nice and very helpful. They have a lot of Mexican snacks for sale in addition to the ice cream. Come here if you are in the area

Such fresh flavors and fruits! If you (like me) have no idea what to order, they will explain what each one is and then you will want one of everything. If I were coming again I'd get the minuta (with fruit! and 3 flavors of syrup! and tamarind sauce!) and skip the obleas.

Came here for our first time today. Service was great and the treats were so good! I can't wait to come back and try something new!

You should anticipate a looong line outside that snakes inside! Very humble Mexican dessert place in east Boston, with a big selection. They'll have anything that fits your sweet tooth craving. The main attractions are shaved ice, mango chili or ice cream, with lots of fruit options. There's no seating, but right across the street there is a park, which is more enjoyable. And it's accessible to the blue line.
