Real ice cream. Go get yourself some as soon as possible. Don't let another moment pass. Knowing the owner of the BR down the street, I have to be honest in saying this beats all other ice cream in town for flavor, texture and overall satisfaction. read more

This is one of my go-to spots for ice cream! They offer so many flavors, including unique ones such as tres leches and Bailey's. You can also get savory snacks like nachos or loaded potatoes, or even fruit-based cups. La Michoacana is always busy, but the line moves quickly and the prices are more than reasonable. The space is also huge so you can bring a crowd if you want! Come here for your next sweet treat. read more

I love this place! Quality ice cream with A LOT of flavor. Although their Ferrero Rocher ice cream is not my favorite, they knock it out of the park with the Butter Pecan. The Butter Pecan is a 10/10. Service is solid with plenty of seating inside. At this point, I'm a pro ice cream consumer with how much I visit this place! read more

This place absolutely never disappoints! All of the food is delicious! The service is top notch and the place is always clean and well lit.

So clearly, this experience totally depends on who is behind the counter. Here's how today went: I stopped in for a Chamoyada. The place was nearly empty. There were 4 girls & one guy standing around behind the counter. So the girls choose to send the guy, who speaks no English, to take my order. He presented me with a cup of frozen mango with chamoy. When I asked about the mango and tamarind straw were, one of the girls offhandedly said, "you have to ask for it", to which I replied, "I'm asking ". And that was the end of the encounter. The Chamoyada itself is tasty, but the customer service SUCKS! I will not return. read more

La Michoacana - Papas Locos, Chamoyada & free paleta. $14.01 - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Memphis, Tennessee

Anyone that knows me, knows that I love Mexican ice cream. This place is located in a slightly sketchy strip mall. They have a ton of parking available in the lot that it shares with the other business in the mall. The workers here spoke English, were friendly and easy to understand, which made no difference to me, because even when I go to a joint where they do not speak English, I am still able to get what I want. They have a few booths out front on the sidewalk that you can sit on and eat. They also have a huge dining area with tables. I will be honest and say that the selection was not as big as I was use to, but there is a lot of hand-scooped flavors to choose from. But I was there for the speciality creations. I opted to go with the Chamoyadas, which was similar to a Mangolata. I must admit, I was not a fan of the treat. I wish I had gotten something else. This place's ice cream is homemade and they have homemade popsicles as well. You will also find elote ands nachos here too. I like this place and hope to make it back here and try something else. read more

The cream of the crop. The crème de la crème of local ice creameries. Off the beaten path, along Memphis' newly established "International District," is La Michoacana. This authentic Mexican ice cream shop is more than a family-owned business. It's a community hub where families come together to create memories. Like a Broadway theatre, the shop has ropes for long lines during hot Memphis summers. You can choose anything, from sugar cone scoops to milkshakes to fresh fruit or popsicles. But don't sleep on the food at La Michoacana. They also sell tacos, quesadillas, nachos, burgers, hot dogs and more. They even have a wall of snacks, from Doritos to Hot Cheetos to chicharrones chips. I've tried the pine nuts, strawberry & cream and pistachio ice creams. Pine nuts is perfect for me. I don't like overly sugary ice cream, but you definitely know you're in dessert mode. You can taste the real ingredients in the ice cream, as the rich, almost buttery goodness glides down your throat to a very happy tummy. They also have natural flavors like Guava, two different Mangos and Cucumber Chile. There's too much to explore at La Michoacana in just one visit. You have to go a minimum of three times before you see everything that's happening. I just read that London neuroscientists found that ice cream activates our orbitofrontal cortex, the "processing" area at the front of our brain. That translates to ice cream literally making us happy. Now go to Summer Avenue and eat some of the city's best ice cream. read more

I've tried all of their offerings and non just blow me away. But I love what they do; and as often as I patron this place with my sister or on her behalf I must give it five stars. They have an extensive array of homemade ice-cream flavors that can be scooped out and topped however you like. The flavors are typical, Interesting, appealing, and what I consider a little strange. Their Key lime is tasty .... They have a margarita flavored that tastes more like a sorbet .... Ive had a taste of most of them .... All are good. There is a tasty pecan caramel combo my dad loves. One of the ones I consider as strange ... Cheese and pineapple. My sister says it's 'yummy' .... I say ... 'it's strange'. The one thing they do have there that I do give them extra props for is, to the right of the cash register there is a freezer full of homemade pops of the ice cream and just fruit nature. You can get a huge sack full of them to take home for about twelve bucks ... Which would last a normal person a couple of weeks .... But when it comes to their Coconut ice-cream pop my sister is not a normal person. It's a downright obsession. When we used to live nearby and visit often, the guy behind the counter would feels sorry for her and throw in a few extra coconut ones just for her because I insist a few strawberry or kiwi ones get into our ten pops! She would usually say 'umm ya another coconut' and the guy would say, 'what's the next flavor' and she would say, 'ummm another coconut' ... All the while she's would be eating a styrofoam cup full of ... Yes you guessed it - coconut ice cream. if you can get your pops to last longer than a few days (a rarity iin our house) I recommend you put like flavors in a freezer ziplock bag ... Keeps longer. I also do this to hide my two or three fruit pops from a certain ice-cream fiend that used to live with me (aka my sister). I've found that under the freezer bag of broccoli is an ideal hiding place .... Perhaps you can try that place yourself. The folks at La Michoacana are so super nice. They let you try any that you like in the display case .... In fact I think they would be offended if you didn't. Everyone working the counter is helpful and recommends favorites - this is good because they change out flavors sometimes. There is apparently food served here other than cool treats ... Can't speak to any of that as we have never tried anything other than the ice-cream and fruit bars there. If you haven't discovered this little gem on Summer, I recommend you do so... Post-haste! It's definitely a needed smile on any day but especially a cool relief in this southern heat! read more

I was so excited to finally try La Michoacana after years of hearing so many rave reviews. I can now say it was worth the hype! I was overwhelmed by the number of options -- a multitude of flavors in a number of forms -- scoops of ice cream, paletas, shakes and more. And I had no idea they had food options as well. The fresh fruit items in particular looked amazing. After much deliberation, I ordered a medium (two large scoops) ice cream with one scoop of the "egg nog with chocolate" flavor and a scoop of butter pecan. Both were delicious. The egg nog flavor wasn't too strong. And the small bites of chocolate made for an interest combination. The butter pecan was packed with chopped pecans and a sweet, buttery flavor. My one complaint was that the ice cream seemed as though it had partially melted before freezing again -- it was filled with ice crystals. But most of it was still creamy. I will certainly be back soon to try more flavors and some of the other menu items. read more

The Paletas (ice pops) here are really tasty! Ones I've tried: Cookies&Cream (creamy, yummy, with full cookies in it), Grape (like a flinstones push pop... yum and nostalgic!), strawberries and cream (OK). However, there's no phone number listed that works anywhere (yelp, google, Instagram, etc.), they don't respond to Instagram messages, so they're essentially unreachable. They also don't offer itemized receipts. Good for a quick drop in and can pick up lots of pops with short notice. read more

YESSSSSSS!!!!!!!!! PALETAS!!!!!!! PALETAS PALETAS PALETAS PALETAS!!!! I'm a sucker for paletas and haven't had one since I was in Mexico so I was so thrilled that my friends took me to La Michoacana. I had a Coconut Paleta and it was perfect. Creamy, with the fresh coconut bits, just everything I wanted. So I of course came back a few days later for another Coconut Paleta. And now I'm sad that I'm no longer in Memphis because all I want is another Coconut Paleta. read more

This is hands-down the best icecream place in town. The huge portions and low prices combined with the outstanding flavors make dessert from here a regular part of my diet. Ice cream flavors that are my favorite: Mexican Cake, Tres Leches, Pistachio The paletas are also really good and have real fruit in them. The creamsicles taste a bit better but the popsicles are still very good. read more

Wow! This ice cream was SO delicious!!!!! It was my sister's birthday and she wanted some good ice cream. We are at her air b&b celebrating and I looked on yelp to find a good ice cream place nearby. I found this location with great reviews. We went in about an hour before closing but they still had plenty of options. They make everything homemade there in the store. My family got several different things, including Mexican corn and orchata. Everything was delicious. I got their Mexican cake ice cream and absolutely loved it. Another person got the strawberries and cream and it too was heavenly. All the flavors were excellent. The waffle cone was delicious as well. The store was very clean and we received great service. We will definitely be returning. read more

Delicious homemade ice cream. Unique flavors. Large portions. Priced right. Staff friendly and efficient. Great value here.

The first time I came here it was amazing but when I came back the ice cream portion sizes were huge and no one in my family could finish a cup. The Mexican fruit cup my dad loves wasn't even the same. We were the only customers inside too when we left. The ice cream wasn't anything special like I've had in California and I don't understand how it is all different than the previous time I've come. The fruit wasn't even fresh! read more

A fun refreshing change to the chain ice cream stores around town and without the price tags of the botique ice cream joints! There are so many interesting flavors to try out and explore, I usually go for the sweet corn (don't knock it till ya try it) or the tres leches and Bailey's. Their agua frescas are absolutely delicious and you can't go wrong with the strawberry made with real fruit. You always get a generous amount of ice cream and you honestly can't beat the price for home made ice cream. There's a reason why this place is a local favorite! read more

Delicious paletas, fresh fruits and ice cream, and great service. One of my favorite places to take my daughter for a treat.

This place is cool with a lot of different options. You can mix and match desserts and ice creams to find something that fits you best. The staff are patient and help you choose if you're not sure if what you want. You can try free samples to narrow it down. read more

After living in Memphis for a year, I've determined that the paletas are worth it. Chocolate, pine nut, avocados and a few water based are my go-to. Even if the service is inconsistent, the consistency I've found in the paletas keeps me coming back. read more

If you want a solid rich ice cream with interesting flavors of mixed fruits come here! I love the richness of the ice cream that they make fresh. If you want dairy free, you can't try their fruit popsicles made of fresh fruits like mango, strawberry, and interesting fruit flavors! Try their sweet corn ice cream or mamey. And go for any fruit popsicles like spicy mango! You'd be hooked! read more

AMAZING. I haven't seen one of these Mexican ice cream/snack spots since I've lived in southern Texas. This spot was bright, spacious, and fresh. The service was quick and the people serving were super nice. We all had their yummy ice cream (tres leches & Mexican cake flavor for me). The small serving was huge! This was our last stop before our weekend Memphis trip was over, and I'm upset I was too full to try the elote and mangonadas. Will be back when I'm in Memphis for sure! read more

This place is amazing. I kept seeing reviews pop up on here of La Michoacana and today my four year old said she wanted a popsicle. My mind went to the reviews I've seen. So we went here and she chose a Mango Popsicle. She ate almost every bite. I chose a banana split with Chocolate, Vanilla and Pistachio. It weight almost two pounds when they were finished making it. I thought they were never going to stop putting Ice cream in it. The Banana Split was the best Banana Split I think I've ever had. Not an exaggeration. Along with the three monstrous scoops of ice cream they added bananas of course, chocolate, raisins, pecans, granola, whipped cream and cherries. It was about as perfect as it could be. Bravo La Michoacana! read more

New, bigger, brighter location with same wonderful sweet flavors. Tried the dorilocos today- doritos with corn, 3 types of cheese and jalapenos on the side- this was salty and satisfying. Got my favorite from here too, the mangonada! Sweet star of the show, this is frozen pureed mango with chamoy (sour spicy sauce). As it melts, you eat frozen mango with bits of the chamoy for a sweet/sour winning combination. Paletas here are wonderful and great price too- personal favorite is the strawberries and cream paleta covered in fudge. They'll also ask if you want pecans on it. Weekdays aren't as busy, but Sunday afternoons there's an extensive line- well worth the small wait! read more

This is the place to go if you want a large variety of popsicles, ice cream, and other traditional comfort food and pastries. I love the options. I've been coming to this location for a few years now and It never disappoints. My only small complain is that their freezers are sometimes too cold?!?! What I mean is that the popsicles are really frozen some times (the ones towards the bottom the most) and it may affect your experience. They're supposed to be cold obviously but not hard frozen like that. For example, Mempops has the right temperature. They are relatively cheap. Around $2.06 per popsicle and that is a STEAL. I love this place! The picture shows cream/strawberries and avocado. Both were really good. read more
