    Really like this place. Have been wanting an ice cream shop in town for ages. They have a massive variety of popsicles and scoopable ice cream flavors. We have tried several now and they are all very good. Everything tastes fresh and like it is made with quality ingredients. The agua frescas are really good too- the strawberry one is really unique it's creamy instead of just like a strawberry puree. The prices here are really good too. Would much rather come here than Coldstone or Dairy Queen.

    Cookie Monster shake!!! Top ice cream there for sure

    Such a great asset to alpine. They make the most amazing ice cream. Always different flavors to try not to mention the best shakes in San Diego. Definitely our go to ice cream place now.

    Oreo mint- my personal favorite

    This place is a cute new addition for treats in Alpine. We walked by after a late breakfast and was luckily able to go in before opening to try it out. The quality and variety of the house made product is astounding- over 30 ice cream flavors and over 50 bars - check it out

    Tostiesquite....this was amazing. 10/10

    We finally get a Michoacana in Alpine! Their place was so nice and cool, literally and figuratively, great if you want to beat the heat. We ordered about 6 paletas and Tostiesquite. So good and they were super friendly. 1000% going back.

    Ice cream, paletas

    We were excited to try La Michoacana today after we picked our Grand Kids up from school! The ladies were so nice, offering samples of the ice cream. All of the flavors we tried were delicious. They were very accommodating too. So many yummy things to try! Very happy to have this addition in our community!

    Came here with a group of my friends and I really enjoyed the experience here!…read more The place is super adorable with some outside seating available. We were a party of 11 and we got a big booth so all of us could fit. I ordered a bowl of chili and had an Alpine Duet IPA. Im not normally an IPA drinker but this one I liked, it wasnt too bitter and I dare say I liked this IPA! Chili was great and hit the spot, was hearty and well seasoned, just what my body wanted. Ambiance was cozy and gave you a small mountain feel. Service was on point and no issues. Id definitely come back when in Alpine again, was a fun experience!

We were greated right away & were told we could sit wherever we liked. Reallly nice a/c on this very warm day. Great vibes & music. What we ordered: * Potato Skins * Steak Sandwich w/ Salad * Alpine Protein Bowl Everything we had was very yummy. I loved their twist on the potato skins. They were sliced like thicker potato chips. Then mixed with.bacon & cheese. It was a HOT bowl filled with ooey gooey goodness..... The hubby & I shared the steak sandwich. DELICIOUS!! Our salad was fresh & crisp. My bro seemed to have really enjoyed his meal too. Ryan was our server and did a wonderful job. He even put the Padres game on for us!! Perfect.... We had a really good time. We can't wait to go back to try some of their other delicious items.

    I'm not sure what's going on with this place but it used to be a great place to shop. Now when we…read morego they're constantly out of items. For example, they haven't had cottage cheese for weeks. We called and asked why on the phone and they say it's because of manufacturing issues but Albertsons, down the street has tons of it; so much so they have it on sale, so I don't think that's what's going on. Their dairy section always seems hit or miss- and it's been a miss a lot lately. Something is wrong with their ordering. There is no consistency. Another issue is with their rotisserie chickens. Most of the time they are all burnt. We've asked multiple people in the front of the store at checkout and honestly, most of them don't even know they sell chickens. It's really odd how people working in such a small store have no idea what's going on in the back of the store. And obviously no one working there seems to notice nor care that the chickens are all burnt. I don't understand how no one working there says anything. I mean, it looks a bit strange to be selling burnt chicken, no? In addition there is no consistency in the sizes of their rotisserie chicken. They used to be like 3- 3.5 lbs each. Now they're often 2 lbs and under and they're the same price. If there's going to be such a discrepancy in weight, they should be sold by the pound. Getting back to ordering, I'm not 100% sure but it seems like one of their freezers malfunctioned because they had it empty for a few days. Then all of a sudden all the ice cream that they put back in the freezer looked like it had previously melted and instead of throwing the sticky melted messy ice cream out, they just put it back for sale. I was going to buy some but I could tell that the cartons didn't look right. That is not okay. It should be counted as waste and restocked with fresh product. I don't think Tillamook would appreciate them selling their product that's obviously not up to standards. Regarding their soup bar, I have noticed in the evening, before even the local jui jitsu gym lets out next door, they are often out of multiple soups. I'm talking at like 530pm. The hot bar is often similar. Why is this not being restocked for dinner? Lastly, I just want to reiterate that although the cashiers are usually very friendly, they really should know what's going on in the back of the store. I mean, when we ask them about the soups, they should at least know that soup is sold there. They should know if they cook the chickens in- house and/ or who to speak to regarding the fresh food. They act like they've never seen the back of the store. So I suggest maybe giving them a tour when they're hired and telling them some things so that when they're the only ones customers have the opportunity to speak to, they have some knowledge of what's being sold. It was almost humourous when we asked why the chickens were always burnt and they were like, oh we sell chickens? Seriously. That's bad training. You can do better and I really want you to. I do appreciate there being a smaller grocery store here and their produce section is great. It just seems like some things are slipping a bit.

Definitely a place I would come back to and recommend!

    We were passing through town and (thanks to Yelp) came across Mediterraneo just off Highway 8. With…read moremany of the nearby options being fast food or counter service, this place really stood out. The atmosphere was very nice, upscale without being too fancy (or too casual). We started with the beef carpaccio and then had the penne with salmon and spaghetti with meatballs. Everything was excellent. And the ridiculously affordable $5 Old Fashioneds were a very pleasant surprise. What really stood out, though, was the service. I have been to restaurants that cost five times as much without receiving this level of service. Ryan was our main server and was excellent. When we asked for recommendations, he told us what he personally liked rather than simply pointing us toward the more expensive items. He checked on us throughout the meal without being intrusive, and we had a chance to chat with him along the way. During one of those conversations, it came up naturally that we were celebrating a special occasion. Ryan quietly took note. At the end of dinner, he surprised us with a piece of cheesecake, along with an entire message painstakingly written across the plate in raspberry sauce. It was completely unexpected and a really thoughtful touch. The staff also worked extremely well as a team. Zack came by with an actual block of Parmesan and a grater rather than the pre-grated cheese you see at a lot of restaurants, and Haley was there to help with various things throughout the evening (yes, we asked for their names to include here). It never felt like anyone was concerned about whose table it was. If something needed attention, someone took care of it. At one point I jokingly told Ryan that he should be the manager. He immediately gave credit to Jessica, who is the actual manager, and said she's a big part of why the staff operates the way they do. Based on our experience, it shows. Everyone was friendly and personable while still being very professional. I was so happy with the experience that I doubled my normal gratuity, something I reserve for truly exceptional service. We found Mediterraneo completely by chance, but it ended up being a great find. Excellent food, very reasonable prices, a nice atmosphere, and especially impressive service. We would absolutely come back if we're in the area again.
