It's usually busy when I come here. I love their menu options and ice cream flavors. It rotates sometimes too so I like trying new and featured flavors. They serve tortas and other great snacks that I love like tostilocos and esquites. The customer service is nice and line is worth the wait. read more

Came on a Sunday night and it was busy! But they work pretty fast so the line moved quickly. We got their mangonada and some other soft serve flavors, so yummy! read more

Yummy in my tummy chamango with generous amount of mango ice cream and tamarind candies. A no frills place that always has a line, but the line moves quite fast. read more

So many flavors and treats to choose from. I got a mangonada with half mango /watermelon. It had all the toppings and I enjoyed every bite. The tajin and chamoy take it all to the next level. Do yourself the favor and try them out. read more

"The food is solid once you finally get it... the problem is getting it. The staff here move slower than a sloth on vacation. I joined the line with hope in my heart and left questioning the passage of time itself. By the time I reached the counter, I had bonded with the people behind me like we were all contestants on Survivor: Waiting Room Edition. If you're in a rush, forget it--bring a snack for the line. If you've got time to kill, it's actually a great place to practice patience, write a novel, or maybe learn a new language before your order's ready. The food = worth it. The wait = character building." read more

So yummy! I've always drove past this place and looked through the window to see a long line, I knew it must've been good. There are a lot of ice cream and paletas to choose from and they are reasonably priced. It is so hard to choose one item because they all look so beautiful and appetizing. I'm excited to come back with friends so I can try everything. read more

If you guys are looking for a place that will try to get you by a dollar and we gang up on you. Then I recommend visiting this place. You have no idea how many times. I have gone in here during the rush-hour between the times of 515 and 615 because I get off work at 5 o'clock, and my mother loves this yogurt. Every time I come in I asked them for a large strawberry yogurt with chopped strawberries, chopped off with granola. Here. You can see my bank statements here. You can see. I've been getting charged the same thing over and over again today. They had no line and I was immediately in and out within five minutes upon check out. She rang me up and she is charging me $11. I brought it up to them and I said why am I being charged $11 when I was just here and you guys charged me $10 all three of the ladies ganged up on me and made me seem like I was in the wrong, and I said, I can show you my bank statements I can show you. They refused. They told me. I've never attended to you. I've never spent a service to you. And I said yes you have, but you guys always have a line out the door and I said, but I'm here almost every other day because my mom likes your guises yogurt, so the fact that they were disrespectful. The fact that it was them that we're right in the customer was wrong. It's the fact that your own people discriminate against you. It's the fact that I thought I spoke to the manager when I brought this up to their attention and after it was addressed, they kept charging me $10. I have been serviced by every single one of those girls, there, and older ladies. Never again while I step foot in that place due to the disrespect that they have given me when I tried to show them my proof. Si quieren ir a un lugar donde les tratan con racismo, su propia raza, donde el cobro de un yogur sale a $10 y te siguen cobrando igual y nomás porque no tienen gente de deciden cobrar $11. Por el mismo y yogur dicen que supuestamente es un dólar más, cuando es pura fruta picada, pero tú como customer les dices, quiero un yogur de fresa con fresa, picada y granola y te han cobrado $10. Después de qué has hablado con el supuestamente manager que ya no es ni hombre, quién sabe quién es el manager de ese lugar, no nomás eso para que las tres viejas de atrás digan que siempre han cobrado bien y tú siempre has venido donde está la línea hasta afuera y se tarda en media hora para servirte y van trabajando bien lentas y te cobran $10, pero hoy porque no tenían gente te cobraron más les invito a que visitan este lugar con razón no tienen sus precios de su yogur porque te cobran demás o te cobran de menos cuando van ocupados, me ha tocado que me sirven toda esa señoras y chiquillas y siempre me han tocado la mismo precio hasta hoy, les invito que vayan a visitar a este lugar es donde los van a tratar bien mal, y también no les importa ver tu comprobante de tus recibos ni nada, porque supuestamente ellos están en el derecho y son correctos y nunca se equivocan y siempre han cobrado bien, nunca vuelvo a visitar a este lugar porque te tratan con racismo nomás, porque te vende diferente color de piel y eres de su propia raza. read more

They've got some savory-type food here--mostly snacks--for sale but the reason you're here is for the Mexican ice cream and paletas. It's all really good. Now, fair warning: there's no menu to be found anywhere and no labels or prices on anything. So you ask questions about what you want unless your eyes are far better than mine. We tried a Twinkie ice cream (seriously), a Mexican chocolate ice cream (with a wonderful cinnamon flavor), a beautiful and refreshing watermelon paleta, and a mangonada with pineapple and mango/chamoy sorbet. Everything was terrific. There was a long line inside but they had a ton of workers hustling away so the line moved quickly. This is a no-frills shop but the frozen treats are delicious and the prices are extremely reasonable. Free parking in the lot. Well worth a try. My guess is you will be a return visitor after coming here. read more

Accessibility: there is a disabled parking spot right in front of the store and a ramp to get onto the sidewalk there. There are two pull doors to enter and then it is very well lit and spacious inside. There is nowhere to sit inside or outside. The employees speak both Spanish and English. Experience: I wanted ice cream and they have great tasting stuff so I came here. None of the popsicles or ice creams are labeled so I didn't know what flavors anything was; I had to ask. All the employees were all very nice though. I got two scoops which doesn't seem like a lot but it is! It is very filling ice cream. read more

This is probably my newest favorite place to get mangonada. Super good and tasty. The mango flavor was strong, which is what I look for since some places have "watered down" mango flavor. Not sure why. This place is great! Ton of ice cream flavors and decent prices. Will come.back after work! read more

Taste buds will be happy a party with the variety of flavors offered here. Let just say you will have to come back over and over again!! This ice cream shop has many flavors to offer, both traditional and innovative flavors. I'm pleased to share that they have MANY dairy free options. You will find ice cream, paletas frozen popsicles, aguas frescas, chips and many other bombastic snacks. Service is always superb however, do be warned, this place is usually pretty crowded. Try going during school hours to avoid evening crowds. read more

MY MOST FAVORITE ICE CREAM SHOP EVER! I love this place, the location, and the variety of everything. They have so many flavors of ice cream that are so delicious. The fact that these ice creams are freshly made is what makes them even better. Hence why I think the prices are super reasonable even if it's technically "a bit expensive" for ice cream. Recently my go to is the fresas con crema (strawberries and cream), their version of this has been by far the best of any ice cream shops that I've been to. If I could, I'd go everyday. For La Michoacána, I have dropped disfruta, la mixteca, etc. If you're contemplating going here, don't... it'll be your favorite ice cream spot as well! read more

This is our go to place as soon as we come into town and unfortunately we had asked for no pork skins in our Tostitos due to my kid being allergic to them mind you we didn't check because normally they listen but the girl seemed pretty distracted talking to another co worker and got home to realize she had added it again it's not to complain but things could have gotten so bad quickly if I wouldn't had checked. read more

Yesterday, my co-worker treated my daughter and I for some ice cream. This place was really close and it was a perfect time to have something cold due to the hot weather. The inside was nice and lots of variety of ice cream, popsicles, and other treats. I was originally going to have the Cappuccino flavored ice cream but my eye caught this intriguing flavor. In the Philippines, we have a Maiz con Queso (Corn and Cheese) flavored ice cream and I wondered if this one I'm about to try will taste the same. I sampled the Queso Fresco and it just hit a spot! I had 1 scoop of it and was a great choice. It tasted fresh. I'll have to come back with my daughter and try the other flavors and the other treats. read more

La Michoacana - Chamango - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - San Marcos, California

Service was horrible. A small line formed to take orders and when it came my turn (mind you, i was second to last), the male server decided to take the last gentleman behind me even though he saw my friend and I get there first. (And there was an obvious line that was formed) And whats more baffling is that when the worker was done serving the last gentleman, the worker and I made eye contact but then he started cleaning very slowly. Im guessing it was to avoid serving my friend and I. Because he kept glancing back at us knowing we werent helped yet. He ended up not helping us and a young lady helped us after 15 minutes of him avoiding us. This experience was very mind-blowing. We waited overall a good 30 minutes. And the store wasn't even busy, it was practically empty. read more

This is a gem for sure! Can satisfy your sweet tooth or your savory craving! I always get their cucumber water, it's refreshing and delicious. Can never walk away with a box of Paletas, but 10 get one free! Very clean and awesome service. read more

Got a Elote and asked for extra and if you look, there's barely hot Cheetos and mayonnaise in here they only put it at the top which I did eat, but in the middle, there's nothing which is just corn, which is nasty and I paid nine dollars for. I am very unhappy. read more

La Michoacana - No mayonnaise or cheese - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - San Marcos, California

La Michoacana is full of creamy cold treats and, of course, mangonadas and tostilocos! Their ice cream is the absolute best, better than Coldstone's or Baskin Robbins. Their flavors have real chunks of fruit (literally full of fruit) and are not artificial tasting. My favs are strawberry & cheese, the guava, and the fresh cheese. The tequila flavor is also pretty good (try it first) and has a subtle flavor. They have so many paletas and I never know which to get, but they are literally ALL good. I bring all my out of town guests here and my family all gravitate toward the tropical fruit ones (guayabana, guava, mango). Props to the workers who are polite and patient. Yes, the lines can be long at times, but it moves pretty fast. Next time you need something sweet, you know where to go! read more

My sister screamed so loudly when she saw this location on San Marcos Blvd, she almost scared the you know what out of me! You see, she LOVES La Michoacana. She discovered them when traveling through Mexico but can't get them at home. Another point for San Diego! With my kids in tow, we all went down there and she ordered for us. I wish I could recall the exact flavors but a foggy memory will have to suffice. My youngest ordered something with kiwi/strawberry, I ordered some type of coconut milk and honey, and my oldest ordered something with sprinkles. Everything was delicious! We beat the afternoon rush by just a few minutes! There are a few tables inside. I'll definitely be back! read more

If you're looking for the best place to buy Mexican style ice-cream and homemade popsicles, La Michoacana is the best I've found. It's in a league of its own in term of price, quality, selection, and service. I was able to try several of their ice-creams and they were all richer and creamier than other places in North County. The Oreo was the best! It was helpful that their flavors were clearly posted in both English and Spanish. What grabbed my attention the most were their two cases of loaded Popsicles. These aren't your typical pops, they embellish each one with fruit to give each Popsicle a fancy look. - Great friendly service. - Their regular cone is like a double scoop. at 1.99 that's very affordable. - Best taste. - Worth a trip just to see all the Popsicles.. - Music is employee choice. You might get Steve Miller, Nirvana, or romantic Mexican ballads. - Next time I'm going to order a bag of pops and take them home. read more

Finally I can get a great chimango around the corner from my house instead of going all the way to Oceanside for my tried and true. Place always seems to be packed. They literally have something for every type of sweet tooth. As soon as this place opened it drew my curiosity with the bright colored walls in the brightly lit space. Like I said, chimango was really good and huge. I also really love the pineapple with chili popsicles. The cream popsicles were not really my jam but to each their own. I'm on a mission to sample each of their 56416431 ice cream flavors and also want to try some of their savory menu items. Similar to what some others have said, getting someone bilingual is hit or miss so I don't always feel comfortable going without a spanish speaking friend. I went once alone and sheepishly said my order in spanish, the lady didnt understand me and I felt dumb so I just said it in english hahaha. However I think anyone can get through their order despite the possible language barrier. read more

I can't believe I didn't know this place existed! It's probably a good thing because this is my new favorite place. I am a huge fan of desserts especially Mexican desserts. La Michoacana is filled with treats. Different types of ice creams as well as traditional Mexican treats, some famous like tostilocos and mangonadas . They hand make all of their ice creams and have unique flavors. Including Ferrero Rocher WHAT!? I couldn't believe my mind. They also have fresh fruit popsicles. I have not had the chance to try them yet, but this is something that they are known for. Customer service is always great at this location, they are very friendly and always willing to let you taste. You have to give this place a try, if you're driving past you have to stop. read more

First off huge shoutout to all the wonderful ladies in this shop especially Mago! I came in on a busy Monday night and I love how all the staff are so attentive, efficient and kind. Mago took great care of my big order of 2 tostilocos, a dozen popsicles, and 2 last minute ice cream cones! Wow! I'm a tostilocos gal to the heart but my most favorite thing to order here has to be the cheesecake ice cream! I just love the cheesecake chunks in every bite. Honestly no other Michaocana can compare to the ambiance from this location. read more

Considering I'd pay a fair amount of money for my food I would've enjoyed receiving what I paid for. I ordered some nachos with no jalapeños and I communicated that to the lady twice and even then managed to put jalapeños in my nachos not to mention it was cold cheese and it didn't even have a lot on it. I would've understood that if it were busy this would happen but they weren't busy and that's what's unacceptable to me. Lesson learned I'll stick to going to Disfruta read more
