I was originally looking for a place that served the Mexican fruit cups often with jicama, mango, and pineapple with lime juice and chile powder. Instead, I discovered the mangonada. Not quite a drink unless you let the sorbet on the bottom melt, it is then topped with mango, chamoy sauce, lime, chile, and a tamarind straw. A nice blend of sweet and tart to enjoy on a hot day but be prepare to wait as the line gets long at this small spot in a strip mall (same one as Marita's) that only boasts 2-3 tables.

Highly recommend coming here ! They're open during covid but take out only . They just had their rebranding party and did a bit of changing inside the store , looks great ! New menus as well ! I love their mangonada , always taste fresh ! Can't go wrong with this place

Mangoneada and half strawberry mangoneada

This place is legit!!! We got the mangoneada and a half strawberry mangoneada. Soooooooo good. If you're paying by card, make sure to add a tip for the hard working employees before they swipe because you can't write one in afterward. Definitely going to try a raspado next time we come!

Great quick n fast service. Very popular with the kids the time I went. Was lucky to be ahead of all of them tho. Small place but a great get n go snack n desserts. Wasn't too expensive. I probably won't be coming back for the spicy fruit pina loca I had but maybe for some ice cream. Very convenient and close by to other places

Came here on a raining day for a mangonada. Yes ice cream in the cold weather cause it was that much of a craving. The mangonada was good and hit the spot. The ice cream was more icy than creamy which I like but my kids didn't. They have a bottle of chamoy sauce available so you can add more, add as much as you want. There are bits of chewy tamarind candy which is a nice change from other locations I have been to. The service was fast and friendly. I will be back the next time I have a mangonada craving.

This was my first time trying a Mango & Tamarind Neada, and needless to say this was SOOO refreshing! It's similar to a Mangonada but it's topped with candies and more sorbet. Service was quick and friendly, I was in and out in less than 10 mins (not including the time deciding on which one to try). Anyways, I definitely recommend y'all stop by and grab a dessert to go, they accept credit cards which is definitely a plus! read more

It says they take credit cards but really, they take Zelle. I got 3 of the mangonada ice cream version. It came out to $24. I thought it was expensive for the amount of got. I didn't know if it was because there were 2 other people behind me but I felt like I got less then what I've seen in other pictures. I'll probably try the mangonada next time. The lady who helped me was very nice though. read more

Such a hidden gem. 1. I've never had a mangonada before today and I'm so happy that my first one was from here. 2. Weather was warm and line was long, but the wait wasn't too bad. 3. The mangonada was $5 and it was a pretty hefty amount. 4. I love the mango sherbert/ice cream with the chamoy. The sherbert has a very mellow mango flavor, but is instantly brought out with the chamoy. The texture of it is nice too! Not too icey and not creamy at all. 5. The little pieces of candy are so good too. I love how chewy they are. read more

Normally they are decent 3 stars...today the mango ice cream was hard. So the girl said she could make it with shaved ice. Tasted ok at first .... than just became a bland watery mess.

I was craving some ice cream after dinner, so I decided to pay Paleteria El Plebe a visit. One scoop of cookies and cream ice cream was $4, and the scoop was MASSIVE (hence the extra star). But the ice cream itself was not good at all. It tasted like a mix of freezer and Dreyer's ice cream, which I absolutely did not like. I'm pretty certain they don't make their ice cream in house unlike other palaterias. I also arrived at 8:40pm; they took me as their last customer and shut the door afterwards. Their Yelp and hours of operations on their door says they close at 9pm though. From what I'm reading in other reviews, I'm guessing they close and open whenever they want to? read more

Came here before with the gals and walked back out lol I guess at the time we didn't really crave it lol But while hanging out at the house on a Saturday afternoon the piojosas decide they wanted a churro from Guadalajara so off they went and my pops was craving a piña Loca. So las Locas returned and surprised us with two piña Locas. It was delish! The pineapple was sweet and yummy and it had chunks of watermelon and jicama and a tamarindo stick and lots of chamoy. Can we say Bomba! Aha Okay I want another lol pops added tequila inside of his and he was like "ich liebe"! read more

Favorite place to get Mangonadas, Raspados or Ice cream. Staff is very friendly and always willing to help you. Favorite thing about this place is the big fan at yhe entrance; perfect for this weather. Mangonadas are my favorite they are only $5 and worth every penny of it. I have gone to other places and bought a $5 mangonada as well but the portion from El Plebe is 2 times bigger than other places. Go get your Mangonada now! :) read more

Hubby and I ordered the waffle with ice cream and a hybrid between the mangonada and diablito. It was amazing!!! My husband scarfed down his waffle. In my hybrid, the sorbet was delicious, the mangos were fresh and the tamarind juice was very flavorful. But my favorite part about my experience was the customer service. We actually walked in after closing because the hours on yelp were incorrect and they still took our order. They let us try different ice cream/sorbet flavors and really took time to explain what each item was. Delicious dessert, excellent service, and good prices-I highly recommend this place! read more

I would not, hence the 3 stars, not because I needed to clean the table, but because the ice cream themselves were too sweet for me. I hope they can nudge down on the sugar.

Conveniently located in downtown Castro Valley, Rita's Italian Ice & Frozen…read moreCustard is such a cooool concept :) They have fun flavored Italian ice (with cream ice and sugar-free options also), frozen custard (hand scooped custard options too), and what's called a 'Gelati' - layers of Italian ice and custard. Looks like they also offer bulk catering and take home treats like pints & custard cookie sandwiches, as well as other offerings like milkshakes, Gelati Blenders (Italian ice/custard blended), and Blendinis (Italian Ice/custard blended with choice of toppings). Lotsa options! We went with a Gelati Blender- cherry flavor Italian ice and added vanilla as the custard. It was so yummy and very much kiddo approved! We wanted something with a straw for an easier lift. Service was fast and efficient, and we were able to try a few of the Italian Ice flavors. Street parking is accessible. Fair pricing for a fun, special treat experience.

I had no idea Rita's was a chain until I came here. It could have been better maintained and…read morecleaned, as a lot of the tables inside were pretty dirty and sticky. At least I enjoyed my cherry Italian ice.

Walking up, I studied the sign (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q&start=0&select=AO9hUvftUpPcTEimUMgddg) and inched closer. The gentleman standing to the right told me to order at the truck window. I chose to try the strawberry cheesecake ice cream (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q&start=0&select=__e_pd-gjml4X4wC2VS56w). (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q&start=0&select=MlJ91oYUXckTqGKvSLyTig) since it was marked limited supply on the menu board (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q&start=24&select=AO9hUvftUpPcTEimUMgddg). I tried a few spoonfuls after adding magic shell chocolate (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q&start=0&select=Gfpmh3W00kcDudZ5ZU0JFw) but the ice cream still hard so I decided to wait about ten to fifteen minutes to soften before continuing. It made the world of difference as the ice cream was smooth and creamy, a mix of the cheesecake 'crust' with strawberries and bits of the cheesecake filling. I would get this again. Being a huge Magic shell fan, it wasn't enough and I didn't want to walk back to get another squirt of two for my remaining ice cream. Might be better with the more liquid or dry toppings. With summer almost upon us, this is a welcome addition to the Saturday market especially on the balmy warm Saturdays. Big thanks to Demetri for showing me the ropes and sharing their background with me. Will be back as the weather warms.

My love for TND ice cream YAY. I have had the pleasure of trying it at a few events and now I order…read moreit monthly for my family and myself. We make it a point to pick a new flavor every month, and we have not been disappointed yet. The best part about TND ice cream is that they use real ingredients, making every scoop creamy and bursting with authentic flavors. Trust me, you won't be disappointed. I highly recommend giving TND ice cream a try. It's the perfect treat for any occasion. Thank you for creating such delicious ice cream yall!
