    Ferrero Rocher is a confection from Italy.
    Lou C.

    When La Monarca Michoacana ice cream parlor first opened, I told the owner at The Boba Spot next door, "Looks like you have a competition." Since it didn't have a permanent signage on the building, I never came in here. A long time past, I decided to check this place out last week. I heard my favorite Latinx songs by Romeo Santos played from a TV monitor as I walked in. Staff was polite and knowledgeable explaining the flavors I sampled. I was the only customer eating in there. After that, I saw customers flown in constantly. From reading the company website, La Monarca is a family-owned chain restaurant serving homemade ice cream, popsicles and mangonadas in Houston area since 2008. The texture of these ice creams is very unique. It is thick and gooey. I have never tasted anything like this before. They are not super sweet like Baskin-Robins. They don't melt as easily like Marble Slab Creamery. I could taste the quality of fresh ingredients in each flavor I tried. But I can only eat 3 flavors ($4) in one setting. Each time I try something new, I have to Google it. So, I put my finding down here for everyone to salivate. - Ferrero Rocher is a chocolate and hazelnut confection from Italy. The distinct flavor has a big boost for this ice cream. - Gansito is a Mexican snack cake, described as "a strawberry-flavored jelly and crème-filled cake with chocolate-flavored coating, according to Wikipedia. The bits of chocolate and strawberry presence created excitement in my mouth. - Cajata is also called Dulce de Leche aka Mexican Caramel Sauce. To me, it should be super sweet but it's not. Because of the nature of ice cream texture, this is fun to eat it like pulling caramel with the spoon. - Mamey is a starchy fruit. I rarely buy them because too much trouble to get pulp out to enjoy it. When it's in the ice cream form, I love it more than eating the fruit. I am not a fan of popsicles. I hope someone can share their experiences here about other items they serve.

Love the creativity and highly suggest sampling all of them They will typically have at least 1 non dairy options, but for all my lactose intolerant people out there, I found it super interesting that they also SELL LACTASE at the front checkout !! Never seen this before in my entire life and I feel that this is so helpful and also kind of funny

    We were craving a late night dessert after leaving East River 9 so we stopped at milk + sugar…read more Overall, great service but not much to be impressed about. Side note you'll need a code to use their restroom. I ordered the split cup of Strawberry Almond Cheesecake and Dulce de Horchata. I felt that the portion could've been slightly more generous than below the rim of the cup, but I suppose the price is reasonable. I guess it's hit or miss like at Marble Slab. The cheesecake flavor was okay not overpowering, which I would've preferred more than the almond and strawberry. I think I wasn't impressed with it because the server scooped more of the graham crust than ice cream. I'm pretty sure that's another reason I didn't particularly care for their cheesecake. The horchata was nice with hints of cinnamon and with the split cup made it taste even better.

    How many years has TFB been bookmarked?! Tooooo long…read more But good fortune popped up in Pearland as I was returning home from work and I just had to stop by! There was no line too?! I made a bee line to get my funnel cake before the word spread that TFB was in Pearland! I went to my IG just to see what their times would be for the pop up. First post I see is that they have a featured flavor- the cookie butter funnel cake. With Biscoff cookies and pieces of cheesecake interlingled within... Yall, I'm not a big sweets person and I only bought the large to support the biz, but that dang funnel cake is no more! Gone. Disappeared. Now, not all at once. That would be crazy, but a few bites when I first got it...a few more hours later...a few more today and yeah its gone. It tasted just as good the next day too, so well worth the money for not only the portion size but the creativity. I never would have thought to put Biscoffs on a funnel cake....so glad somebody did! The food truck is very efficient as well. You place your order and they give you a buzzer. They were willing to bring the funnel cake to me but I had parked at a distance anticipating that more people would be showing up soon so didn't want to get blocked in. Very courteous people and the funnel cake - the BEST I EVER HAD. Hands dooooown! If you're looking to satisfy your sweet tooth, follow them on IG and enjoy satisfying that sweet tooth!

    Yaay for the funnel bar food truck finally being in my jurisdiction! Of course after you finish a…read morerun what do you need?? Funnel cake and ice cream! I walk over post workout and ordered the strawtella funnelcake. Yummy! Very very good and a large portion. I ordered the small but it had weight okay! Staff were friendly and the service was quick! You get a little buzzer that notifies you that your order is ready! They have so many varieties to choose from and shakes! I'm def checking them out again if they are on my side of town
