I wish I lived closer, though it's probably better for my health that I don't.
They opened a month ago and are a separate store with the same ownership as El Mariachi restaurant two doors down.
They make their own ice cream in house. I enjoyed a scoop of mamey ice cream. My nephew loved their Mexican vanilla. The coconut has fresh coconut in it. Other flavors include mint chocolate chip, cheesecake, eggnog, oreo, chocolate, chocolate chip ("besitos"), almond, and more.
They sell paletas (not made there but still good!), desserts like flan, geletinas, and tres leches cake. My mom was excited to try their tres leches cake-- her favorite.
They have a whole snack menu too: esquites, corn on the cob, Maruchan ramen with special toppings, chicharrones preparados, fruit with chamoy or chile & lime. Lots of fun after-school snacks.
But my favorite offering is one I need to go back to try. They make their own water ice from scratch. And they make versions with Mexican flavors like tamarind. I've never seen tamarind water ice in Philly, but now it's all I will want on a hot summer day. read more
