    Ice cream (2scoops)  2 flavor
    Catherine L.

    Helpful and sweet ladies here! Absolutely the best place to grab a meal a bite/snacks or dessert! This location has everything! My current obsession is their Banana Nutella ice cream. Their double scoop "small" is huge! Must come back to try all the Mexican snacks. Like sometimes... my big back really just crave nachos...

    Some Flavors

    Came here for two scoops of ice cream, and wow was it delicious! Michoacana has so many desserts available that I'll need to return to try all the others... and there are so many flavors, too! On this visit, I had the pistachio and strawberry shortcake. Eating it was a tad messy, though, as the ice cream somehow melted to the outside of the cup, perhaps through the lid not sealing well. Of course, they also have numerous paletas with unique flavors (eg avocado) and that barely even scratches the surface of their more, larger, dessert items to share with friends. Service was quick, and seating (and space) was plentiful. The line conveniently wraps around all the freezers, so you won't be able to miss any of their items. Definitely worth a visit!

    Bionico
    Jason Y.

    If you are craving desserts past 11pm there are very little options in the area. Michoacana closes at midnight every day so this would be a good option. They serve ice cream, ice cream bars, crepes, funnel cake, bionicos and many more items. They have over 30 different ice cream flavors to choose from and their small size allows you to pick 2 flavors. I tried to bionico today since I wanted a healthy alternative. It was yogurt with apples, bananas, pineapples with raisins and coconut on top. The fruit was tangy and sweet and paired well with the yogurt. Their prices are comparable to places around the area. Small ice cream was $6.99 and the bionico was about $12.

    Terrible!

    I was very disappointed with my esquite. They only put mayo on the side of the cup and none at the top. There was only a small dash of cheese. Their fresa agua fresca was good but overpriced.

    Menu options

    Food was amazing and quick service, would definitely come back. Wide variety of choices. Nice music inside and nice staff.

    Came here got great food and absolutely the best out there

    Got here and received a great deal at a very fair price. The staff was friendly, professional, and made the whole process easy and stress-free. They went above and beyond to make sure I was satisfied and answered all of my questions. I never felt pressured, and they took the time to explain everything clearly. Excellent customer service, great value, and an overall outstanding experience. I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for quality service and a great price.

    It was the monster mash ice cream.

    Service was good. This place has many ice cream flavors . This is my second time here, I went with their funnel cake and vanilla flavors. It was really good! Best location I've gone to

    Had to come back for their churro and a mano paleta because I got their funnel cake last time. They were busy, but we were greeted and thanked for our patience. I must say, I was highly disappointed in the churro and it wasn't worth $3.99 imho. It wasn't fresh like their funnel cake. I bit into it thinking it would be fluffy , but it felt like I bit into a hard shelled candy. I enjoyed the paleta way more and their funnel cake. Their shakes were great from what my husband and friend told me. They had flavors that other dessert shops dont have. Such as abuelita and mascapone? I will be back to try their agua frescas next time and maybe another dessert. Plus, hopefully I will remember to show them this review.

    This was so cute! I love the variety of the place, and the freshness of the food. The server was super attentive, and very friendly. She recommended ice cream and I am lowkey regretting not listening. There was a lot of variety and really yummy treats listed. I loved the catchy music in the air while you wait, which wasn't long! I definitely enjoyed it. Can't wait to come back and try the churros.

    Fast service and delicious treats! Everythimg tasted great. Yummy! It was perfect for after award ceremony.

Carnitas Tacos: The warm corn tortillas contain chopped pork shoulder that has been crisped up on the flattop. The simple dressing of a pickled jalapeno and pickled carrots with cilantro allows you to focus on the flavor of the carnitas. The meat is tender, rich and juicy, while also crispy. Carnitas Mulitas Aporkalypse: If you are really hungry, a mulitas will always hit the spot. Two large tortillas are covered in cheese to form a thin, crispy, cheesy crust that extends past the edges. More gooey cheese is filled between the tortillas, along onions, cilantro, and carnitas. If you select the Aporkalypse, you are signing up for an explosion of flavor that is provided by all the meats. There is an incredible assortment of pork butt, pork belly, pork skin, and burnt ends. The spectrum of textures is unrivaled from soft and succulent to crunchy and shattering. The slow cooking respects the ingredients and offers up the fullest expression of pork flavor. Parking: This location has a large parking lot.

The menu is quite simple, but beware that no prices are listed on the main menu, but they are on the paper menus. They accept Apple Pay/credit cards. I ordered the asada burrito and the pollo caramelo and added the grilled poblano (as recommended on Yelp!). The tortillas were the true stars -- soft, nice chew, with a buttery mouth feel (probably lard). The fillings were just ok. The inside reminded me of a Taco Bell 7 layer burrito -- a lot going on but all the flavors kinda blend together. I (incorrectly) thought the beans were refried, but they are not. Whatever is going on inside, I didn't find much structure. The burrito was the best. The caramelo was a lazily folded burrito. I read that it was like a quesadilla, but I couldn't disagree more. I would skip this next time. I spent $25 and it was a lot of food, but I wasn't impressed, especially given the hype and the fact that LA should really be the pinnacle of Mexican food. Not sure if I'll make a second trip here.
