Stop by here if you're ever at Hemisfair! Cute shop with fresh paletas and friendly service. They are a locally owned, small business with a variety of paletas with rotating flavors. We've had the strawberry, strawberry and lime, the bubblegum. Located right behind Dough. read more

If you've had a paletta from the original San Antonio store on Fredericksburg Road, skip this place. This place is conveniently located in the park downtown but the product is less than memorable. I got coconut and my mom got pistachio. They looked great but lacked flavor. They taste like they are diluted with water. If you're downtown and want a paletta, look for the friendly guy on a trike selling the real thing for a fraction of the cost. read more

I wanted to like this place; it's located near a really nice kid-friendly green space. That's the best part. The lady working at the shop was very cold, colder than the paletas. The paletas were overpriced, but it would have been okay if they had any flavor or the service was good, both were non-existent. The one with the Oreos had a lot of potential, but it was a huge letdown. read more

This was our first experience with Paletas, and they were quite tasty. It was a bit difficult to find the place at first, but we were treated to a wonderful cold dessert on a hot day once we did. There weren't a lot of seats just outside the building, but there were plenty of areas to rest a bit further away.

Place is super small with only one table, plan to take to go or eat outside. I was let down by this place. I got a watermelon, strawberry lime, and bubble gum. All were lacking in flavor. The strawberry lime was way too tarte. The bubblegum tasted like sweet milk, could hardly taste any bubble gum flavor. The watermelon was meh. Maybe it was the flavors we got, but I just wasn't impressed. read more

It was absolutely horrible, terrible service the guy looked like he didn't even wanna be here. Never come here! Paletas were terrible so much dye in them, he claimed that they were all natural but didn't taste that way! Horrible read more

Yummy way to cool off. Here is what we had and loved Mangolanda, pecan and frutty pebbles. These are inexpensive and great! They also have drip proof holders for the kiddos. read more

There are SO many cool finds in the #Hemisfair like this paleta place called Paleteria San Antonio. As soon as we exited the garage and sauntered onto the plaza, we were immediately captivated by this bright signage. My girls love a good paleta (popsicle) and it was certainly a warm day. I promised them we would try it after we finished a tour of the Magik Theatre. It's a small store front & I imagine it can be quite tight in those busy hot summer days! There are 16 different flavors available at any given time. But that's not all! They have SA staples such as mangonada cups, cucumber or fruit cups where you can add tajin, chamomile, etc, hot Cheetos with cheese, caramel apples and some clothing. The prices are very reasonable and everything tasted fresh! I tried the watermelon paleta and it was so good! I didn't get a chance to try the cookies n creme paleta as the 12 y/o devoured it so quickly lol. I foresee us coming here each time we visit the Hemisfair. #PaletaSA read more

We found this place on the recommendation of our Airbnb. So we came here with a preconception that it would be thick, creamy Mexican ice cream. But this cute little shop in the park sells popsicles. We got a watermelon popsicle which was delicious and refreshing. We also got a coconut bar which was creamy, but also bitter. So not a fan of this one. read more

The Oreo paleteria was such an excellent dessert! Great service with a smile too. Everyone else in my party loved their flavors too.

Paleteria is everything South Texas is about. Fresh. Natural. All the flavors that take you bake to your childhood, or that you've grown to love in adulthood. They have sweet, tart, fruity, nutty, creamy, citrus, truly something for everyone! I love taking my kids to get paletas whenever we go downtown. And they are perfect on a hot sunny day walking around the Hemisfair. Oh, and the coconut, has actual coconut shreds! So yummy! read more

We were in the area for dinner and walked over to check out Yanaguana Gardens since that was on my bucket list. On the way to Yanaguana Gardens, we saw this shop and had to stop by to see what's going on. We were pretty full from dinner so this was perfectly light for a dessert. There were many flavors to choose from. You can see which ones were low or had run out likely from their popularity. Very reasonably priced at $3 each. I decided on the guava and pineapple one. It surely was authentic and had real fruit because there were guava seeds in it. I did have to eat it carefully because I didn't want to break a tooth. It's because of the seeds that I took off a star on my review. My husband had the pistachio one and I had a bite. It was good. I think he was expecting it to taste more like the ice cream. I told him that it's a paleta which would be on the lighter side. Thankful for the outdoor seating to enjoy the paletas before heading over to the garden. Would be curious to stop back to try other flavors! read more

At first they were out of everything but pecan. I was told by the friendly workers to come back in 5 minutes and they would be restocked. I was expecting maybe 4 or 5 additional flavors. Instead there was a whole lot more to chose from! Cute vibes especially outside there's great seating options In the park too under the green arches for shade! Loved my mangonada flavor it was super fresh and unique that I could add tajin and chamoy on top not just mixed in. read more

Location? Amazing Price? Excellent Paletas? Perfection I stopped by when I was in the area and wow am I glad I did. It's right in hemisfair park. I got the fruit pebbles paleta for $4. The ice cream part was like sweet cereal milk and the fruity pebbles weren't just on the outside. The whole paleta was filled with them. Super tasty! It was a hot summer day so walking around the park with a tower view and eating a delicious paleta was an excellent treat. Def need to go try the bubblegum next!!! read more

What an amazing location to enjoy the scenery, off the river but at the foot of the Hemisphere Plaza area, to enjoy the classic and artisanal popsicle flavors. Water based and cream based popsicles available, with real ingredients...Oreos in cream, watermelon and kiwi, even mangonada... I always find it to have a steady stream of customers. It's small but organized; and the flow of customer traffic keeps the small area moving. It's a be a regular stop for us. See you next time. read more

Not impressed. Super excited to see a paleteria but after tasting the paletas I was disappointed. I was hoping for a creamy, chocolatey cinnamon flavor but got a skim milk chocolate paleta instead. Not great for the price read more

We stumbled upon the Paleteria in Hemisphere during our Mother's Day 7 Mile walk and were not disappointed. We shared the pineapple, mango, strawberry & pecan paletas- the fruity one was large chunks of fruit in a crispy ice shell while the pecan was chunks of pecan in a soft milky shell. It took everything in me to not walk back in and buy out the stock!! We will return VERY SOON! read more

Came for the cookies and cream paleta. My favorite. Smooth and creamy. Will have to try the fruity peoples next time. read more

Fun option for dessert. We got the milk option bars- chocolate, pistachio- and they were good.

Fun place to bring the kids for a treat after playing at the nearby parks. Lots of variety in flavors and friendly service.

My husband and I stopped by Paleteria on a hot afternoon this weekend for a paleta to cool down! While we both chose the mangonada paleta (yum!), I loved the variety of paletas they offered (everything from creamy to fruit only options). Is there anything better on a hot day than a freshly made/frozen paleta? I don't know. But the paletas from Paleteria really hit the spot for us! read more

It's National Cherry Popsicle Day! According to legend, an eleven-year-old boy named Frank Epperson accidentally invented the popsicle in 1905. He was stirring up a soft drink when he got distracted and left the cup and the stirring stick out on his front porch overnight. The next morning he discovered a delicious frozen treat with a convenient stick handle! Unfortunately, Peletería San Antonio didn't have a cherry paleta, but this Strawberry Lime did just the trick this 93 degree evening. read more

This was yummy! We were impressed with all the flavors we tried, and honestly I couldn't believe how inexpensive it was. We didn't get any toppings because we were walking, but it looked like they had great choices. read more

Got some paletas and had tons of fun at the Hemisfair park! If you're visiting San Antonio, this combo is a must (they're only 5 minutes walking distance from each other). The paletas that include cream are very good because it's a delicious combo of a popsicle and ice cream and I don't feel guilty eating it! We got the strawberry, strawberries and cream, and fruity pebbles flavor. I'd say the strawberry one is the best of of the three because the strawberries in the strawberries and cream were a tad tough and the fruity pebbles were soggy and hard. The strawberry paleta was smooth and just melts in your mouth, it was a perfect blend of strawberries and cream! P.S The Hemisfair park is the best park I've ever been to, hands down! It's a modern playground that's integrated with amazing art and they have a really cool artificial "beach"! read more

Showed up to the location and everywhere said they open at 12. I showed up around 12:05 which I know is annoying, but I am celebrating some great news and this is the one thing I wanted to do! We called to ask if they were open and someone answered hello, we asked if it was the palateria and if they were open. They said they should be poke in a couple minutes. No problem. When we went in the woman was nice, but it seemed like we were an annoyance or bother but the paletas were great! I'll go again, but I don't do well going to places after feeling unwelcome so I'll just send in my husband so I can avoid those negative situations in the future, which is a bummer but is how I was made to feel maybe it was an off day! I will always give another chance for sure because the food was worth it! read more

Now more than a food truck at its permanent location on the southwest corner of Hemisfair Park -- near the children's play park. It's namesake Palaterias (Mexican-styled ice creams and dozen iced) are as beautiful as they are tasty. Icy cold to enjoy on a hot day. Fresh fruit varieties that rotate. Go by and enjoy what they have today! read more

A hidden gem. (I'm serious--it literally is hidden from the streets with no storefront sign and we were almost disappointed when we drove around.) But if you see a ice cream cart outside, you'll feel like you've hit the jackpot when you finally see the colorful popsicles from afar. There were so many paletas to choose from, it was so hard to narrow it down to just one. Most of the paletas have pieces and chunks of real fruit inside. They didn't have most of the popsicles that had me drooling from the Yelp photos but they did have some flavors that made it hard to choose between. I got a Frutas, which is milk based with strawberries and walnuts. It was pink but the popsicle was banana flavored. It was a bit heavy and wasn't too bad, but I wish the fruit wasn't all the way on the bottom. My friend got a Watermelon paleta and she really enjoyed the freshness and the chunks of watermelon. These were very reasonably priced (came out to be about $5ish) and I would highly recommend coming here for a light, cheap sweet treat. There aren't many reviews and we were the only customers so I'm guessing not many people know about this place, probably because they don't market themselves as much and because they don't have a storefront that shows what they are. If you're craving paletas, definitely give this place a try and if you look enough, you will find it. read more

This place is kinda hidden, I had to call to the store to figure out where the entrance was lol. Once I found it, I saw that they have a tonnnnn of different flavors. They are categorize their paletas by milk based and water based. I ordered the coconut paleta and the mangonada! It was perfect because it was a hot summer day. The coconut was super creamy and dreamy! Loved the mangonada because of the chamoy swirl! read more
