    Sandia loca! Aka watermelon, pineapple and a whole bunch of other fun stuffs
    Timothy H.

    This is a great little mexican dessert joint hidden away in a strip mall with PHENOMENAL customer service. The menu is almost entirely written in spanish, but don't worry if you've forgotten all your spanish from high school - the family that runs the shop will help translate and explain everything. They do popsicles (both water and milk based), ice creams, and a whole bunch of other adventurous things like tostilocos (what is that you ask? it's an explosion of fruit, mexican candy, chamoy, chips, peanuts and other fun stuff). Everything I've had there has been excellent and CHEAP! Shout out to Maribel for the excellent service, and the other workers there. The first time we went, one of the gents and one of the ladies were there and didnt speak a whole lot of English, but a smile, charades, patience and google translate goes a long way. they helped explain what a tostilocos was, helped customize it for us since we were iffy on some of the things like the pork stuff and to top it all off, while we were eating our delicious new concoction they noticed the spice was getting to us and gave us some horchata on the house! and it was some of the best horchata ive ever had! 5 stars all around! and did i mention everything is home made?? hope this place succeeds! (and they accept credit card!)

    When I am on the other side of my town shopping this is the place to stop for a treat. Its hidden in a little commercial shopping center so look hard on your left before you drive right past. Its called La Isla on the front of the shop. Its small and empty with an awesome mural when I walked in. They offer the basics of any palanteria but they make it on the spot fresh, and there are items here that are not offered at the other places closer to my house. Yesterday I wanted to try something new so I ordered the tornado, its jicama, pineapple and mango with tamarind and sprite poured over it. Refreshing, light, healthy and delicious. They also offer fresh corn cups with warm off the cob corn, mayo, cheese and melts in your mouth good. I will return when on this side of town, I am most definently a fan!

    I've tried several places and one thing that has made me come back first is a very clean place and THE HAM TORTAS THE BEST IN TOWN. Great customer service always so friendly many more delicious goods.

    Smallest cup $1.69

    This place is surprisingly good! I wanted a drink that's fruity but not too sweet on this hot hot day and they have it. The lemon and cucumber juice water is refreshing, not loaded with sugar and it's great! This big cup is only $1.69!

    Fruit salad, very large portion and yummy!!!
    Nicole M.

    Came here to get ice cream for my girls, decided to try the fruit salad as a healthy alternative. Very large portion, tasted great! Definitely coming back!

    La Escamocha fruit salad..yum!
    Adriana G.

    First visit here. Not disappointed. Delicious fruit salad (La Escamocha) at a great price. Can't wait to try everything else on their menu.

    Tostitos Extra Locos

The cashier let me know that the apple fritters I was looking at were fresh out of the oven and still warm, so I had to try those and they were the best apple fritters I've ever had! (Fresh is always better, of course). But we also tried their blueberry cake donuts, maple bars, glazed old fashions, and a few others and all were very soft, luscious, and just a perfect version of that type of donut. I have high standards for baked goods and it only took touching one of their classic sugar covered donuts and feeling just how pillowy soft it was to know they have an amazing rise and fantastic quality. I will be returning here from now on for all my donuts!! The shop is cute inside too. They have small tables for eating your purchase afterwards and offer coffee and tea. It doesn't feel like you're in the way here and the service was incredibly friendly and welcoming. No critiques whatsoever!

They really only send out important emails...so, for that...KUDOS! They have their email marketing dialed in... My fiancé and I shared a flight, as we usually do. It's really the best way to sample all their delicious flavors. I had to try their monthly flavor, 'What's Up, Doc?'. Carrot Cake Ice Cream? How?! Well, it's true. They turned a classic cake into delicious ice cream. The other 3 flavors... Obrigaderia Brazilian Truffle Lemon & the Blueberry Swirls Parmesan Apricot We couldn't pick a favorite flavor this time. All of them stood out in their own way. Such a cute little storefront...two tables inside, but plenty of seating outside. I remember when they were across the street, even smaller storefront....and now they have TWO locations in San Diego county. Team members are always smiling. You can tell the owners care about their employees...there's a sign up....this is a no-tip business. They pay their employees a livable wage. That, in itself, speaks volumes!
