a menu on the wall
Janelle M.

Now it's crowded all the time!!! That's cause there's so many option and all very delicious!!! They've got paletas de crema, y de hielo my favorite are the strawberries and cream, and the mango w/ Chile. If you need a vacation to Mexico and need just a taste get the Elote Chorriados. It's a cup of elote, butter, mayo, Chile powder bit of lemon centered into another plate that has your choice of chips covered in queso fresco and Valentina! Crazy good! Just make sure you go on an empty stomach and be prepared for the bloated- ness (maybe that's just my case...) However everything is super good paletas are better than Micho's in my opinion and price wise it's very affordable!

Delicious, architectural mango explosion in a cup. #24 is shredded jicama, gummy worms, tamarind candy, mango and Cheetos on top of mango sorbet, fried peanuts, strawberries, chamoy sauce and more mango inside. Kiwi and mango/strawberry paleta were tasty too.

Grapes

I stopped for a quick fruit cup , but when I ate a grape it didn't taste right. I turn on my interior car lights and the grapes look like this ... I've never seen a grape with what looks to be herpes ?? I don't recommend this as a stop anytime.

This is by far my favorite place to get desert ever. The picture is of the number 8 which is now, my favorite desert. Super friendly staff as well: )

Tosti Camerones

So today we went in just to get a horchata and I saw that they redid the menu boards and I couldn't resist getting something yummy! I ordered tosti camerones which is hot Tostitos chips with lots I do mean lots of shrimp and cucumber, lime chili and hot sauce!! I'm in love and it was only $6.75 I'm addcited!!!! What else am I going to eat next! Gotta try it!!

This is the perfect place to come get your favorite Mexican antojitos. So many delicious choices for whatever mood you're in. Whether you want a delicious paleta of a variety of flavors to choose from, tostilocos, aguas frescas, Mexican sodas, whatever you can think of they most likely have it. Definitely stopping here anytime my family and I are in town.

Chorreada (corn inside that cup)
Lee L.

Staff is super friendly, have been in several times (it has become an addiction) lol Love the natural paletas, we've tried several and their YUMMMY. My all time favorite is the CHORREADA (cant go wrong with corn and house made chips) perfect little place for a sweet or savory snack

Getting a quick bite to eat
Ivan T.

This place is a great spot for a quick snack or a cold agua fresca (fruit flavored water) They serve a variety of snacks, ice cream, and chips. I love their mangoneadas trust me get one when you first try this place out. Other than that everything is delicious. Summer nights and weekend nights is when this place is really busy. They're family friendly and bilingual. The only downside is that they're a bit disorganized when taking orders. Overall a good place, check it out.

Piña con frutas mas chingonas. Ok maybe that's not the actual name on their menu but go check for yourself if you think I'm lying

Very cute little spot. They have such nice desserts and coffee…read more The choices of chocolates, caramel apples and glazed pretzel treats they had under one roof is unimaginable. We tried a few and loved all of them. The lady at the counter was very nice and they had a cute sitting option outside. It's cute, refreshing and delicious all at the same time.

We drove by this spot while looking for parking so we could walk around and check out some of the…read morestores in this old town Albuquerque area & it looked so adorable, I wanted to check it out. After visiting a few of the other stores we made our way over to La Choco Salty & Sweet to grab a quick sweet to eat and support a local shop. From the outside it looks like just a chocolate shop, but the sweets section is just a small area up front and the rest of the store is tourist type products to buy like clothing, knick-knacks, etc. The sweets area is cute, they have a little cafe type area set up for a few people to sit and they have all the chocolates on display. Most of the treats look pretty good, but the prices are a bit high for some of the things. We generally enjoy grabbing a few truffles when visiting sweet spots like this so we selected four truffles to try. They do not have clear pricing in the case for the truffles nor do they provide any kind of hint to what is inside of some of them aside from the name of the truffle. I had asked the woman working what was inside one or two of them and she seemed annoyed I asked. We ended up getting the four we picked out anyway, and I was kind of bummed afterward. Not only were they $3+ EACH but they tasted like they had sat in the display case for several days. They were a bit hard, stale and didn't really have a lot of flavor to them so I was a little upset we had spent about $17 here on five things of chocolate that weren't really anything to write home about.
