Helloooo Elotes and michoacana paletas! Since my last trip to Mexico, I've been missing the taste of those savory, tangy corns and the sweet, creamy coconut popsicles. Who knew that I could find a treasure trove of these in South Philly at Paletas Y Helados Bambino? I love that this place offers a wide spread of snack choices to fulfill both savory and sweet cravings. I only got to try their plain elotes so far, but I'm definitely eyeing the hot Cheetos elotes and a side of pina colada for my next visit. Price-wise, I'd consider them as fair with elote around $4.50 per cob. Service here is efficient and adequate.

Cost goes up and the quality is terrible, went here and got a chamoyada with a mango with chips and tamarind bits, it wasn't peeled right? The product had cheese which is not included originally. The mango was not ripe and very hard yet they charge full price... disappointing.

It is impossible that at 9:05 at night they no longer want to serve you.How unprofessionalism.They should say that they close at 9. So that this problem doesn't exist.It's impossible that at 9:05 at night they don't want to take care of you anymore.What an unprofessionalism.They should say that they close at 9. So that this problem is not there.

Some strange flavors here. Cheese flavor, corn, guava? Worth a check out on a hot summer day. The ice cream is good and is better when its summer. They take cards as well. The waffle cone is well made. Highly suggest experimenting with some of the odder flavors here. All is good, nothing is worth avoiding. Definitely worth a shot!

Came here for ice cream and it was so melted it wouldn’t stay in the cone. It was decent, but grainy. Would come back to try something else maybe, I’m sure the milkshakes are good.

Love buying treats here but I always go when it’s not peak hours so I don’t have to wait at all.
6/15/23This place used to be our favorite for my wife and I but the business doesn't respect their closing hours. We arrived at 9:15 and the doors were locked with people inside. I knocked but the employees just looked at me with an angry face and didn't open the door. We left and took our business across the street to the other ice cream shop. Customer service was great and will no longer return to this Bambino shop.This place used to be our favorite for my wife and I, but the business doesn't honor their closing hours.

Horrible experience we were there at 9 and waited half an hour then they didn’t even want to serve us and to top it off they had mouth us while we were getting out. Honestly try out la guerrerense Philly recommend more than this side.

I waited for more than 30 minutes and then I was denied service!!!! Literally the rudest thing ever and I was told that they didn’t need my money to live and to get out cause they were getting ready to close:(
