    Mangonada
    Daniella A.

    This spot opened a little over a month ago, and I was able to check it out within their opening week. Service was on point for only have been open a few days, and it seemed like all the options on their menu was available. I actually visited twice in one day to try a few things on the menu. I am excited to have something not only new, but different in town. Mexican ice parlors typically sell a variety of treats & snacks; this one is no different with a wide selection of paletas (popsicles), scooped ice cream, aquas frescas, and different snacks including esquites, mangonadas, tortas & tostadas. Pretty much everything on the menu including the paletas are made in house. I ordered an Oreo paleta, mangonada, horchata & esquites. The mangonada was the best I've found in Alaska. Loaded with chunks of mango, chamoy & tamarind candies. Their mango ice cream is also made in house, and was so flavorful. The horchata also was some of the best I've had in Alaska. A lot of the time the horchata I've had tastes watered down before the ice melts, and you can tell that once the water is added into this recipe it doesn't cut down the distinct flavor. My son loved the paleta, which he rightfully so did not let me taste. The esquites was a great sized portion. My only complaint was that I wished they drained the corn more & there was more spice to it, but I'll know to ask for it next time. The space here is absolutely gorgeous with lovely artwork, and a play area for kids. I am very excited for this new addition, and think it's a lovely spot for a treat especially for families. I will be back to try more of the savory options, and hope they plan to potentially add more food items to the list! Definitely head over to the Campbell Creek area to treat yourself to something sweet! Summer is right around the corner, and this would be a great spot to end a day outdoors!

    Thanks to Elite Yelper: Daniella, I was reminded this Mexican ice cream parlor is finally open! They are located just past Taco Bell on Tudor (coming from midtown). Their building faces "L & L's." La Michoacana's space is bright, clean, and large. Beautiful murals and art pieces decorate their walls. They have an ample amount of table/chairs and even a pretty amazing children's area off towards the back. I most enjoyed their service which was welcoming and informative. I never had to guess what anything was. La Michoacana makes all their items fresh, to include their icecream. This visit we ordered a gazpacho, mangonada, tosti elote, and a mango paleta. We loved everything! We can't wait to be regulars! Highly recommend.

    You can find this shop in a shopping strip on Tudor with the Ghost Kitchen. Super cute and colorfully decorated little ice shop. The owner(s) of this place put a lot of thoughts and creativity into this place. You can tell by the decorations along with the murals. They do have some food you can order as well. My 7 years old got the Cookie Monster ice cream, the 5 years old got the strawberry popsicle, and I got a 16 oz horchata and a fruit cup. Came to be $30 with tip. 7 years old enjoyed his ice cream; the 5 years old was not used to the fresh ice cream and wanted me to take the seeds out of the popsicles. I took a bite of his ice cream and his older brother finished it. It was quite fresh and delicious. Horchata was delicious and fruit cup was fresh and a good size for $8.99. Kids enjoyed playing in the play area. Not many customers so the girls working at the counter were attentive and friendly. Would recommend and will come back. They have a loyal stamp card as well.

    Yummy fresh sweet fruit with chili spices- I was gifted a rose for Mother's Day!

    Clean fun bright colorful environment. Fresh fruit was sweet and just right chili spices. Tostada Shrimp ceviche was yummy. Service was excellent. They have a fun play area for kids.

    Horchata $7.95 with cash only. The bigger size

    Finally got to go here, I've been wanting to try the strawberry Fresca drink. They don't have it when I asked if they had it. Lady said they made it fresh and it changes daily. Mentioned a horchata, hibiscus, and a strawberry with red and green apple. I asked her if she would recommend the strawberry one or the horchata one. She got all attitude towards me, "idk..." and gave me the side eye and didn't acknowledge me at all... I thought it was quite weird thinking ok maybe a bad day. So I said horchata. I can usually tell if I like the place through their horchata. She asked me what size said two sizes. To be honest, my brain doesn't work as well anymore as I've aged and I kind of have to see it so I asked to see the big one. She got angry because the way the grabbed the cups each cup I am telling you cups went flying as she grabbed the cup. She grabbed it so angrily idk what the problem was and I was so excited to try the place. I honestly when customer service isn't happen for me I usually always leave but I've tried so hard to make time to come here I wanted to try it and I figured I wouldn't be back unless the horchata was AMAZING. I noticed she didn't give me my drink but the customers next to me were given their ice creams. She walked mine to the counter. Asked me how I wanted to pay, I said card. It was from $7.95 to $8 something. I can't remember exactly but it was a BIG JUMP.... I was like nope... I'll pay cash. She asked me if I wanted a stamp card and I said no.. because I kind of knew I wasn't going to go back. Horchata isn't my style. It's okay but it's too cinnamon-y for me and too expensive for what it was. I looked at another comment and I noticed it was geared to racial issues. Now I am Filipino but I have white in me. My skin is white as day. But idk if it was racial or anything but it was enough for me to not get a stamp card because I pretty much knew I wouldn't be back. Kind of disappointed to be honest. I was excited to get to this place and I haven't been this excited to do a review on this place. Looked like my kind of place. Sad...

    First time at this place and tried their yogurt. It was very tasty and flavorful. The staff were friendly and the dining area was clean. We will definitely come back and try more of their menu items.

    Mango!   sabroso

    Finally a piece of Mexico that is needed for the summer! The fun colors definitely remind me of Mexico. The ice cream is said to be made in-house and the fruit tastes so sweet. There are ice creams and popsicles that are water based and milk based so there are some gluten free options. And the flavors of ice cream are very topical and fruity. The flavors of popsicles are unique and creative, perfect for a sweet tooth. (I saw a fruity pebbles flavor :O) This paleteria (ice cream parlor) is unique as it has a small kids corner where kids (probably for ages 3-10) can play connect 4, pac-man and more. I got a magonada with scoops of mango, lime, and passion fruit, and it was the best. Only thing I would have like different is more chamoy, I like it spicy.

    Taiyaki is a delicious Japanese street food. A fish shaped pastry stuffed with filling like read…read morebean paste & custard. In the warmer months the taiyaki are also stuffed with soft serve ice cream. This street food has become popular in the USA with dedicated taiyaki ice cream spots popping up, and we finally have a shop in Alaska that serves this delectable treat. Softer opened at the end of December in the Diamond center food court. I went to check them out in February, and the taiyaki were fresh, crispy, and had a decent amount of filling. Now the taiyaki wasn't the same consistency as the ones I had in Japan, but it's not really fair to compare things in Alaska to their country of origin. The texture wasn't 100% correct, but it was pretty nicely crispy, and not overly chewy. I had heard from a few other people that when they went the texture wasn't correct & too chewy so consistency may be a bit of an issue, but they are a new business to that can be rectified. The soft serve ice cream was also very good. I ordered 2 "upside down" Taiyaki ice creams which comes with choice of 2 toppings. You can just order a Taiyaki filled with ice cream which doesn't come on a cup, or the Taiyaki pastry on its own without ice cream. If you're not feeling the Taiyaki you can also just get the soft serve ice cream, a milkshake, or a snow bowl (this looks like a variation of bingsu). I ordered chocolate soft serve with a Nutella filled Taiyaki topped with sprinkles, and a matcha/chocolate swirl soft serve with an ube filled Taiyaki topped with Oreo & graham cracker crumbs. The portion size on the soft serve was good for the price ($7). The chocolate ice cream was standard chocolate soft serve, but I really liked the Nutella taiyaki. The matcha ice cream actually had a strong, and not overly artificial matcha tea flavor. Next time I won't get it swirled with chocolate as the chocolate overpowered the matcha. I don't know if I'd get the ube filled taiyaki again. The ube filling was pretty artificial so it's not my preference. The toppings were also fairly sparse, but that doesn't really matter to me. Overall it's a great treat. Service was quick when we went. There was no line, and you just order at a kiosk & the person makes what you order. It's located right in the mall food court by the ice rink so if you're looking for ambiance it's not really going to be this place. I definitely will be back to get some Taiyaki ice cream again, and maybe try their snow bowls. Excited to have something different in Anchorage! This place is definitely a good spot next time you want some soft serve ice cream.

They have protein shakes, milk teas, fruit smoothies & tons of other creative options like ube milkshakes, matcha chip condensed milk frappes, frozen hot chocolate, caramel apple frappes & more. Not only do they have an impressive selection of drinks, but they also have self serve frozen yogurt with a great variety of topping choices, a menu of smoothie bowls, chamoy candy & a variety of esquites. The boba is made fresh daily & they have traditional tapioca pearls as well as fruit based popping boba. They also brew the teas in house. My favorites so far have feen the ube milkshake, matcha chip condensed milk frappe, blended brown sugar chai & blended milk tea with brown sugar. Their boba is perfectly chewy & always fresh. The owner is an absolute gem & also hilarious. Their social media caption game is top tier. This shop also has strong ties to the community. They frequently host drives to put together care packages for the houseless community, support local art, share info for mutual aid & do their best to give back to the community. If the drink variety wasn't enough thats a reason in itself to support this local business! Go treat yourself to something delicious! Support your Asian owned boba shops.

It is so…read moredifficult for us to get national chains like this here and then they arrive and squander the opportunity. In other cities Menchies are GLORIOUS. This place is a borderline sh1t-hole. After coming here for a family member's birthday at their request, I was baffled, because there are numerous locally owned frozen yogurt shops that in outstanding. This place is trash. Here's why: - its clear the staff members are underpaid and not invested. (They were playing Uno when we came in.) Their level of engagement was less than minimal. - Several of the machines were out of service. This is a small shop to begin with. With so few flavors to chose from, its not really very enjoyable trying to figure out what flavors will work together. Not a good selection of flavors that work well together. Yuck - Many of the toppings were stale or rotten or under-ripe. Pineapple, rotten. Strawberries mix of rotten and underripe. And the mochi, MOCHI.... half of it was bad. Did you know it coukd go bad?!?! I didn't. Sigh... Give the lack of engagement of the staff, this did not surprise me. How long did some of that stuff have to be sitting out to go bad? I used to work in food services... there's rules about that stuff! GROSS. do not recommend this Menchies at this time. Super bummer.
