Without a doubt, Pincho Loco has some of the most delicious, flavor-packed ice cream and treats you’ll find not only in the city, but in the entire region! My go to is their Italian ice or their ice cream cake slice. Everything is delicious, fresh, and creamy (if it’s supposed to be), plus the prices are great for what you get. They have exceptional service as well. There are ice cream shops literally everywhere, but they rarely go beyond “eh, it’s good ice cream.” This place sets and tops the bar, then raises it some more! I try to make a stop any time I’m in Durham.

Great mangonada. Super friendly service.

Great ice cream, fun flavors and a good value. They usually have at least one coffee- based flavor, which I love. Always have a good experience.
Absolutely delicious ice cream and popsicles!! The eggnog and apple pie flavors for Christmas are outstanding!! The milk free coconut popsicles are a giant hit in our family. Prices are great as well!

THE BEST ICE CREAM IN THE TRIANGLE. I love ice cream so much. Luis and Marta are wizards when it comes to creating inventive flavors and different kinds of dishes. You can get ice creams scoops or go un pincho loco and get a mangonada, paletas, or a brownie sundae. Also the owners are such nice people. They greet me and my wife every time and are so kind. They’re also great at juggling the crowds of kids, college students, and tourists. Truly a fantastic ice cream spot.

Best ice cream in Durham, in my opinion. Shakes are also amazing.

Omg the banana pudding ice cream was incredible. Great spot, quality ice cream, and I'm all for supporting Latino/a owned and operated businesses. I'm not kidding I would drive across at least 2 counties to get that ice cream.
A+ for friendly service from a very genuine cashier. Welcoming and warm, this is the type of interaction you want to have when you treat yourself to deserts. C- minus for Mangonada. First time having this Mexican desert, and was willing to pay the higher rate of $6.99 (the small size) for something new as I hadn't had hot sauce, mango sherbet and mango pieces before or spicy sweet tamarind straw. Looks cool but wayyy too much hot sauce. Had mouthfuls of hot sauce instead of sherbet, and had tough time finishing this one. I also normally like spicy sour sweet flavors like the tamarind (similar to li hing mui), but found this one a bit too salty. When I was finishing my Mangonada some of the flavors blended together and it worked, so there's something there. B- minus for menu. Appreciate the pictures, they help a lot. But could show prices more clearly. I didn't notice it but there might be a paper menu outside to help, as I saw it in someone else's photo. Overall recommend for friendly vibes, and seems like a popular spot. Prices for ice cream and pops seem very reasonable. I do regret spending more for a Mangonada. I can't say I recommend this one, however I support Pincho Loco for offering unique flavors. I wish the ice cream menu did have more beyond the classics, or I would have tried those instead!

Superb home made ice cream. It doesn't get better than this. No franchise product here, it's obvious everything is home made with a passion for their craft. Huge variety of unique flavors, custom remakes of your favorite baked goods, like the oatmeal I've cream I had today was spot on! Many latin flavors you don't find often, of course, but also huge varieties of delicious americana. Owner operated, we love to support LOCAL. The staff, and owner are very friendly and helpful. Good thing we don't live here, or this could be habit forming ?

Pincho Loco is truly a one of a kind local business. Delicious and unique ice cream flavors on top of other great stuff like rice pudding and horchata. A great staple of the community that deserves all our support!
