Topping options
Madeline B.

I visited the store recently and had a very positive experience. The paleta was prepared as I requested. Elisabeth did a great job serving us and chatting with us as we asked a few questions. Highly recommend her. It makes a difference to get great service.

Strawberry Cheesecake

If you're looking for some delicious gourmet paletas and ice cream, this is your place! They have a great range of flavors, both sweet and refreshing. Adding toppings to a classic paleta is interesting and the strawberry paleta with the milk chocolate was an amazing combo. These are a bit on the pricier side as you pay around $5 for the paleta and it's extra for toppings but the service is great and I would come back to support a local business.

Watermelon Tajin Chamoy
Shirley Q.

Pricey once you add toppings. Two popsicles with toppings came out to ~17.00 You pick a flavor and they ask you if you want toppings. No crowds at 8pm. There's no where to sit inside, but there are three chairs outside with a view of the parking lot and intersection if you want to eat it here. I would skip the toppings next time. The popsicles are pretty delicious as is. Pistachio 1.00 Chamoy .50 Tajin .50 Chocolate 1.25 Coconut flakes 1.00

Hidden Gem in Bonita! I lived in San Diego in 2020- military brought us here and I yelped a bunch of places, this one being on my list but never wanting to go because I thought it was only in the city area. Military moves us back to SD and find this Bonita location, which I'm so happy! In my opinion the hype is real. The flavors are spot on for the flavors we've tried: pistachio , Mexican hot chocolate, mazapan ice cream, tre leches.. I will say the Dubai chocolate bar ice cream is looks wise hype but the flavor doesn't remind me of the chocolate bar. It's really heavy and the crunchies inside get chewy and soft. They should just add the crunchies on top and drizzle the pistachio cream that would really make it good! It's a small shop, some chairs outside . But a great after dinner treat! Or even after school! Would come back again, employees are nice as well!

The arroz con leche flavor was 10/10. Best Paleta I have had in years. Recommended by the person working, she was great. Super quick. We will be back tomorrow!

Pistachio drizzled in milk chocolate and mix nuts.

We love indulging in the super yummy Paletas! My daughter loves the yummy topping and my son can't get enough of the mazapán paleta.

La Original Concha
Stephanie D.

I am so grateful for trying this place after having tacos with our friends. This place was so good and the perfect dessert after Taco Tuesday! My husband and I got a key lime paleta drizzled with dark chocolate and a concha ice cream sandwich. The concha ice cream sandwich was *chef's kiss* we've never had anything like it- the bread was warm which paired very well with the ice cream and other flavorings that were in it. We came on a Tuesday, so the service was fast. Props to the girl behind the counter; there was a party of 4 ahead of us and there was 6 of us as well. She was very fast not only making our paletas and concha ice cream sandwich, but our friend also ordered a Mexican chocolate float as well. It honestly looked like she was the only one behind the counter and I'm very impressed by her efficiency and fast service to all of us! This place is right next to us Taco Machin and it's a pretty small place. If I were to do an event, I would definitely hire Holy Paleta at an event for a birthday, wedding, bridal shower, etc. Eating at Holy Paleta was a perfect way to conclude the night with friends!

Hmmm these paletas are sooo good. Up to you on whether or not it's worth the price! Definitely not a cheap dessert but it is infinitely customizable for a cost ;) and you get all your fav toppings and combos. They have a lot of choices to choose from!

Erika P.

Not your basic paleta. So If you basic keep your basic self at home cause these paletas are absolutely over the top deliciousness! I ask myself why?! Why did I wait so long come here? Don't be like me and just try this place already! Had the choco banana today and it was like having chocolate abuelita with banana in it. I added a small drizzle of condensed Milk to it with nuts. Trust me get the toppings! They definitely do not skimp on the toppings and pour them on there as much as you like! Love that this place is right next to one of my favorite taco spots, Taco Machin. You can come to Holy Paleta right after tacos. Are you kidding me? Go, and you can thank me laters!

The choices

No line tonight so walked right in. There are times I see 5-6 outside waiting. Wife wanted their pallets so off we went. She had Horchata popsicle dipped in chocolate. It was very good. I had the cucumber and pineapple popsicle with tajin and chamoy. It was refreshing and would be so more on a hot afternoon. Could have done without the tajin. Will definitely return to try paletas with milk and dipped in chocolate.

Cucumber Refresh and mini Lavender Lemonade
Dona S.

Ugh love it here, there's such a wide range of flavor options to choose from in case you're goin for a fruity sweet or a chocolatey sugar sweet. The store is a bit small so all orders are take-out and it can be easy to miss when driving by so look hard lol My favorites so far are their cucumber and the Lavender lemonade

Cookies & cream paleta
Jose G.

"The paletas here are some of the best in town--delicious and full of flavor! My only complaint is the price; $20 for three paletas feels quite steep."

Myrna M.

Loved this place there is such a big selection!! You dont know what to get they even have conchas!!!! Omgg Im in love!! And you can also add all the toppings you want!

I used to come here all the time because it was always consistent, until it wasn't. It's been about…read morea year since my last visit. The last time I came, they were out of most of the popular flavors, and two young men working the counter were laughing and having a great time while the line was long. That experience alone made me decide not to come back--until today... which was a mistake. There's currently a heat wave in San Diego, it was around 6:30 PM, and the place was packed both inside and out. I came with my younger daughters and ordered six cups total. First disappointment--no strawberry. Second--no vanilla. Third--no chocolate. We had to make do with the very limited flavors available. Plain, Pistachio, Oreo and Mango. When I got to the counter, there was only one young man working. I asked if he was running the whole shop alone, and he said yes and apologized. I told him not to apologize because this is clearly a management issue, not his fault. He was actually exceptional and very kind despite being overwhelmed, and he deserves recognition for that. However, the owner or manager of this location should be present or ensure proper staffing, especially during peak hours and extreme weather. Having one employee handle a packed store is completely unacceptable and reflects very poor management. I'm really disappointed to say I won't be returning. But give this young man a break. Too bad I didn't catch his name.

Overall, it is a 4.5 and I would say worth the trip if you were craving shaved ice or shaved snow this is really a spot to go to in San Diego. They only have about four locations on the West Coast and I would say the price is fair. Again the texture is the reason to go and I would say the store is clean and nicely decorated, but the floor is very sticky. One tip that I would give is that you bring your own water bottle because the cups they give are small.

I ordered a large Sunset Beach shave ice.  Ice was incredibly fluffy and soaked up the syrup so it didn't drain to the bottom.  Flavors were passion orange, mango, and guava.  It was fruity and delicious.  My favorite shave ice in town. 2nd visit I tried the Citrus Squeeze which consisted of lime, pink lemonade, and lemon.  Once again I was impressed by how fine and fluffy the ice was.  Lime was a blast of sour lime flavor.  Pink lemonade tasted just like a pink lemonade, and lemon was a mix of sweetness with lots of sour lemon flavor.  Great flavor combination. I discovered you can buy pints of Lappert's Hawaiian ice cream.  I bought 2 pints for $11 each. Kauai Pie consisted of rich creamy kona coffee ice cream with Hawaiian macadamia nuts, shredded and toasted coconut and dark chocolate fudge.  This ice cream was thick, rich and decadent. Vanilla bean was rich and creamy with a bold vanilla bean flavor.  One of my favorite vanilla ice creams. Staff was friendly, helpful, and efficient.  Hope they get more flavors of Lappert's ice cream as Palm Springs is where I usually have to go for Lappert's.

I walked up to the door and pulled the handle and thank goodness they were still open. A place that actually honors their closing time is a huge win in my eyes.

Service was super friendly, and this location is big and spacious. There's plenty of parking and I only spent about $7, which is a fair price. Check them out if you're craving ice cream.

First off the portions they give you are big especially for the prices, that was a big plus for me. Customer service is good, workers are nice & tho it gets busy at times & they have a line they keep moving smoothly, tho extra staff on weekends would be nice for them & us. They have few tables outside & a big lot so you can chill & eat in your car. The Ice Cream here is pretty thick & good, my fav is the Orange Dream Cream, taste just like the orange bar with cream inside that I ate as a kid, it's amazing! My other two is the Banana Cream Pie & Dulce De Leche so yes I get my Mexican Ice Cream fix here haha, they have a Horchata one too. And they have a great Banana Split, they give you the bananas sliced which is cool & portions are big in it. Shakes are good just a bit too thick so might as well get Ice Cream. So if you like delicious, thick Ice Cream with big portions then come here & bring the fam as I do.

Look all I want is a clean toppings & Yogurt bar, clean store & take my money with a smile & they do that here. I love their prices, the amount I get at Nuyo I pay about $11 when here it's only about $8. That's a big difference when you got 2 teenage girls with friends. I'm saving $3 a cup. They have a few tables inside but we usually take it to go. We go next door to Pho Cow 7 a lot so while we wait to get seated when it's busy we come here real quick to get a cup to share with my girls & it's great.
