You know it's good when there's lines. The skippy is the most popular item on their menu. It's almost like a mangonada but the difference is that she adds freshly squeezed lemon juice and chile en polvo. I got the mango and piña and tasted bomb but I also noticed a lot of people getting it with limon. I also got a paleta de arroz con leche and it tasted just like the ones from Mexico. My husband got a obispo which is raspado with ice cream. The lady was very kind I just wonder that maybe she should hire another member to help her with all the orders. I wish her continued success and I hope to visit again sometime when i'm in the area. read more

The skippy's are the best!!! They are so good!!! You have to try them. My mother in law put me on to them and I'm so glad she did. She's been coming here for years and would always talk about the skippy's. So I'm so so glad I finally tried them. They are seriously the best and so yummy. We live about 30 minutes away and drive over here just for the skippy's and I always order some extras to keep in my freezer because they hold us so well in the freezer. I love this shop. I definitely recommend! read more

Today March 25th at around 3:15pm I sent my husband to buy me a strawberry "skippy" I asked him before he got out the car to ask for extra chile since last Wednesday my "skippy" was NOT spicy at all. Just tasted like strawberry and limon. He gets my order we drive off and I taste my skippy and AGAIN no chile. We had to drive back and ask the lady to put more chile and she gives my husband a very bad attitude. This lady is the same lady who made my skippy last week. Idk if she's new? Cause I didn't get off the car this week or last. I know there's an older women who's very nice and has been there for years. Anyways this lady does NOT know how to make a skippy!!!! Me and my sister come here a lot. Spend a lot of money because it's NOT cheap here! We've been coming here for years since I was a little girl and my dad used to bring us. (I'm 34 now) This is (was) my favorite paleteria but people like this lady ruin it. Lady if we asked for extra chile just put extra chile. If you want to charge me for the extra chile CHARGE ME!!! but don't get mad and give attitude for YOUR mistake! We literally had to drive back because I was not happy with my order. Learn how to make a skippy!!!! I'm no longer coming here. Very very unprofessional service with this lady! read more

All items are delicious,and bit on the higher end for raspados and icecream but worth every penny .SERVICE can improve the ladies are always upset want you to know exactly what you want and don't try to change your mind last min they don't like it . read more

Food: 9/10 Service: 8/10 This is one of my favorite peleterías out there! Definitely recommend you try their "skippys", if you know you know. If you'd don't, go and find out! You have to be patient as they do get a line and can take a little bit to make your order but this is not a bad thing. This is a cash only establishment and the parking can be a little limited with the shopping center its in. No indoor seating, but definitely worth it! read more

Not cool! We haven't been here in years And i wanted to show my kid how good their skippys are. Haven't been here in probably 15 years I always talk to her about how good these raspados used to be. We made a 45 minute drive Just to get here and see they close at 6. When Yelp says 7pm. We even tried calling before driving here but their phone doesn't even work. Ugh! Just a terrible experience! Or maybe I'm just moody and upset at the drive and the disappointment read more

Their paleta de arroz con leche is amazing, super crreamy not too sweet not overpowering with cinnamon

It's been over 5 years since I had came back to paleteria limon and the quality and flavor is still the same. Their skippys are the best summer treat. It's almost like a diablito but 100x better. The only downside is it's cash only but other than that there's no cons. Their staff is very friendly and it can be packed sometimes but they attend everybody as fast as possible. So happy I rediscovered them! read more

Who doesn't love Mexican paletas! We don't come often but if it's hot and there's no line we're stopping. Today's order was a ice cream double of Coco and Cajeta. Hubs ordered the Skippy de Limon. My ice cream review: it was delish!!! I didn't want it to finish! The coco was my favorite, every spoonful was creamy coconutty ( is that even a word) and chewy with coco bits. The cajeta was light in flavor, I wish it was a tad bit sweeter and it had more of the cajeta flavor. Over all my 2 scoops of ice cream were yummy. Hubs loves their skippy's today he got the limon (lime) flavor and said so far it's his favorite. CS: good! read more

Always worth the drive! They have the best chicle paletas I've ever had. I always get a minimum of two. Today I tried the mango Skippy. The customer before me orderee a bunch and it looked good so I tried it. 10/10 would 100% recommend trying. It was delicious and refreshing. Im not usually into the flavors of the Skippy, but it's was amazing. Also, they had great customer service. The workers there were nice! read more

If you love chamoy as much as I do, you have to try Paleteria Limon and order the Skippy!! I personally really like the "Original" Skippy that has tamarind in it. Basically, a Skippy is shaved ice with lemon juice, lots of chamoy and chili powder. Sour and spicy: my favorites!! I also asked for extra chili powder to give it more of a kick. If it was located closer to where I live, I'd definitely be a regular. But since it's not, I'll be back the next time I'm in the area. read more

The famous Skippy in tamarindo and pineapple. Bomb and fresh. Raspado with a twist. Definitely need to try. The limon is very refreshing and aromatic while the fresh fruit syrup is just right on the sweetness and the chile adds the perfect spice. Worth the 6 bucks a pop for the large. read more

Paleteria Limon - The famous Skippy in tamarindo and pineapple. - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Maywood, California

Cash only! This place is delicious, but be prepared to make line especially on hot sunny days... totally worth it though. These are some of the items I've had: Skippy (shaved ice with your choice of fruit with chamoy sauce for a little spiciness) Mangoneada (blended mango with sugar and water, over chamoy sauce (frozen)) Paletas (popsicles): Milk based paletas that I've tried are: strawberry, strawberry & cream, coconut, chocolate, chicle (bubble gum) Water based paletas: strawberry, lemon, cucumber w/ chili Esquite (corn on a cup with mayo, cheese, lemon and butter) All very delicious! They also have iced drinks, frozen bananas, juices, smoothies, chips and other stuff I haven't had. Pros: Deliciousness all around Place is kept clean Cons: Parking sucks Cash only The employees are not the friendliest but their food makes up for that No where to sit (If I remember correctly). read more

Worst Customer Service Ever ! I ordered a mangoneada and asked if you can add the pineapple syrup from the skippy because I've been having that craving and got rejected. I told her I was willing to pay extra but she didn't want to do it. It will be the last time coming here . read more

I LOVE THIS PLACE!!!! I'm someone that will travel for good food and this place is Thee best for ice cream and snow cones. The special is the "Skippy" but pretty much everything is authentic and DEEEELISH. My favorite is the "paleta de nuez" and "paleta de fresa". Don't be discouraged by the long lines, it is def worth the time. read more

**Get yo lick on** Super bowl Sunday was a great warm Cali weather that called for cool runnings and that 's how I ended up here. They carry authentic mexican ice cream bars banging with flavors and in several types of ice cream bars from milk bars to water based bars. This place is perfect to quench those "antojitos" aka little craving and if you're open to trying new things then you should definitely stop here. I bought 5 bars for a whopping $8.75 and lemme tell you that $1.75 for mexican ice cream bars is pretty steep but I guess their authenticity makes up for it but geesh! Fresas con crema - Nice, rich, CREAMY flavored with real strawberries. I capitalized creamy because you can really taste the sour and semi-sweet cream more than the strawberry. Pina con Chile and Mango con Chile - These 2 puppies packed some serious heat. I can take heat but by the middle of this bar my lips were burning. Overall, they were great in flavor and spot on. Nances aka nance fruit - Yummo...I love this one! This ice cream bar took be back to my central american roots. It's a small round fruit with a strong smell and in Nicaragua we marinate this fruit with rum. This was the first time I came across nance being in a ice cream bar. Coco - Typical coco flavor and not worth the $1.75 because you can get this with the ice cream man that passes through the neighborhood for $1 or less. I really wanted to try the Tamarind with Chamoy bar but I completely forgot to get it. They also carry raspados which I also plan to try the Skippy next time. Soooo much more items to explore here. read more

They make everything fresh. Real fruit. Authentic mexican ice cream and raspados. The servers are really good at making your raspados fast and just right. They are also very sweet ladies. They do not lag on the fruit syrup. They have 37 flavors if paletas, 16 ice cream flavors, 16 raspados, and more. I have been coming here for a long time and it keeps getting better. read more

Man oh man! The best raspados, homemade ice cream and paletas (popsicles). This place makes fresh homemade mexican style syrups to top the raspados (shaved ice). My favorite is the "Skippy" which is a raspado made of sweet plum (ciruela pasa) syrup mixed with tamarindo syrup, fresh sqeezed lime and powdered chili! My favorite summer treat. It tastes like a Lucas chili powder raspado... my mouth is watering! They have so many flavors to choose, such as: Pineapple (Pina) Tamarindo Strawberry (Fresa) Limon Ciruela Pasa (Sweet Plum) Grape Mango Vanilla Mamey Pina Colada and many many more... I personally have not tried their homemade ice cream... but it looks really good. A lot of kids who come here also buy the nachos w/ jalapenos and I've also have seen them order a bag of Flammin' Hot Cheetos drowned in lime juice or nacho cheese. I just make that at home myself... but it's nice to know there is a place where you can order that. read more

This place has skills! Delish arrangements. I got the infamous Skippy. Holy Hell. That is addictive and unlike anything I've ever had. Not your typical raspado. There's real fruit in there boo! The sweet Limon with the spice..... Omgggggggg phenomenal. You need to get one here ASAP. read more

This place has the best paletas ever! Like the comment below me said the Nance one is delicious (water based one I haven't tried the milk one) anyway. The mangoniadas are incredible, you could actually taste the mango unlike some other ones that are pure water with a little taste of mango syrup. If you go, you have to try the skippy, paleta de nance and the mangoniadas. You will not regret stopping here. I think the ladies here are very friendly of course they aren't the conversation type or maybe not so much the smiling type, but they provide a great service... and I'm sure they try to do the best they could for their customers to leave happy. read more

First time coming here and I loved it defiantly coming again. Very clean and organized. They have paletas de leche and water flavored too . My favorite has to be the skippy de Mango . It's sort of a mangoniada con chile and pieces of mango. read more

The best shaved ice cream is sold here... I highly recommend the original flavored and mango skippy. Skippy is shaved ice with natural fruit syrup, some lime, chili powder.. chamoy and idk what else but they mix it nicely so that every bite you take is equally delicious!! The raspados are also delicious! There was a point in my life where I was having up to 2-3 skippy's a day!!! Specially in the summer. The staff is very friendly and try to assist you as soon as possible. The shop is very neat and clean every time I have been here. read more

As I continue to come here I am more and more delighted. I've come to find out that the sauce used in the skippy is the owners own natural concoction along with the naturally made paletas. read more

Thank You Yelp for telling me about this place(thank you baby for telling me about Yelp), anyways after reading the reviews i had to go here. since everyone is talking about the "skippy" i thought i had to try this. i was expecting it to be good but i was expecting it to be that good, it has to be one of the best raspados ive ever tried in my life, just thinking about it makes my mouth water. ima go back tomorrow to get another one.. We also bought 2 paletas de fresa (de leche) to go witch we enjoyed he next day, those were super delicious too. Cant wait to go back and try other things here.. read more

Whaaaaa? This is place is only, at the very most, O-K. I got all excited for nothing. Read the reviews here and asked one of the girls if she could bring back raspados for the office. I tried "skippy" and thought my heart would skip a beat. Nope, my heart did not skip with the first taste. My breath stopped for a bit and then I realized I was just severely disappointed. Skippy was not spicy and far from being exciting. The other guys and gals got different flavors and they were also disappointed. For those who still want to try, they have 2 sizes-- Medium and Large. Medium is only a 12 oz cup for $3.50. The price is definitely a medium price, but the 12 oz cup is definitely a small for raspados. read more

Their home made "Paletas" (Popsicles) are delicious, starting at $2.00 they are also a deal in my opinion. I've tried a few - mostly water based because that's my preference and I have no complaints. Frozen bananas and skippy's are also great. Cleanliness has never been an issue, I always find that it is clean and organized. Wait time was 30 min on a Sunday afternoon! Parking can be a hassle and lines can get VERY long. CASH ONLY read more
