    corn & pina colada flavor!
    Cindy S.

    I can see why this place is popping every time I go here. Their icecream is so creamy, so delicious, and their flavors are on point. The corn flavor is my new favorite, and I highly recommend trying it! It literally has bits of corn in it, and it smells a bit reminiscent of popcorn. I've tried some of their other flavors like piña colada, cheese, pistachio, strawberry-- all of which were very enjoyable. Many of their flavors contain just the right amount of sweetness too (not overkill), so I feel like I would keep eating it if I had more. It's the perfect dessert! I've also tried their horchata, and it was decent. I gotta get a paleta on my next visit!

    If you're anywhere near this place, stop what you are doing and GO NOW !!! You can get a medium size with 2 different scoops. We tried.... Espresso/ Mint Chocolate Chip Banana/ Strawberry Oreo / Nutella Peaches and Cream/ Cheese All deliciously rich and creamy top notch ice cream. We got a few popsicles for the freezer. Definitely be back soon. Very streamline ordering . Line moved quickly. Gonna try the tacoria next door on our next visit.

    Paleta de tamarindo
    Heather O.

    This is such a hidden gem in Wilmington! I love, love, love, paletas and home made ice cream, and this ice cream spot satisfies both. Furthermore, they have exotic flavors that I grew up with and enjoy, such as tamarind and guava. There are so many flavors to choose from, and the price point at $1.75 for a large paleta is quite a steal. Everything is made with fresh fruit and fresh flavors. My brother ordered a small guava water ice, my mom ordered a small coffee ice cream, and my dad and I both ordered a tamarind paleta. The coffee ice cream was creamy, smooth, and had a rich coffee flavor. The guava water ice texture was creamier than a regular water ice, and the flavor truly emulated the taste of the fruit. The tamarind was very tangy, fibrous and refreshing. I would love to come back the next time I am in the area and try other flavors. I was told the mamie was definitely worth trying! I wish they had a place like this in Philly!

    Authentic Mexican ice cream! Three Yum Yums from me.... Flavors galore. God bless these servants from God! Wow. Amazing.

    Corn ice cream with chili powder
    Elizabeth L.

    Been meaning to try the ice cream here after reading the reviews. I got a medium (2 scoops) corn ice cream with chili powder. I've been craving elote so this was great! You can really taste the corn and the chili powder goes really well with it. My boyfriend got the cheese flavor. but I think I prefer the corn. The staff was friendly as well.

    Double scoop cone w/ elote (corn) and queso (cheese) ice cream
    Laura M.

    I stopped by Paleteria y Neveria Tocumbo last week when in DE to visit my parents. I'd been wanting to check it out for awhile, but needed to go alone as my parents aren't adventurous eaters. An errand nearby gave me the perfect opportunity to stop by, so I did. Having read the other reviews and tips, I knew that the must try flavors are elote (corn) and queso (cheese), so opted for a double scoop cone with a scoop of each ($3). The woman serving me initially started to scoop the elote first, but I used my rusty Spanish to ask her to scoop the queso first so that the elote would be on top. After she'd scooped both flavors in that order, I asked her to sprinkle the cinnamon-chili powder on the top scoop of elote, which is why I asked for the scoops in this order. She asked me if it was to my satisfaction, which I confirmed. To my surprise, I wasn't as much of a fan of the elote as most other reviewers seem to be. Although the flavor, which was brought out by the cinnamon-chili powder, was pleasant, I found the consistency rather icy due to the corn kernels being frozen. By contrast, I was a big fan of the queso. I enjoyed its sweet-salty balance as well as its creamy texture, which was enhanced by tiny bits of cheese (queso blanco?) strewn throughout. Unlike the elote, this flavor didn't need any enhancement--it was perfect as is. Overall, I was pleased with my experience at Paleteria y Neveria Tocumbo. This was my first time trying Mexican ice cream, so perhaps there are some differences that I'm unaccustomed to. Despite the language barrier and my persnickety requests, the woman serving me was amiable. While I don't usually comment on parking since I'm usually not driving, I was in this case and had trouble getting into and out of the parking lot, which was full at the time of my visit. I parked around back and noticed that they have an ice cream truck, which I'm sure must be a hit with the local children. Based on my own experience and others' comments, I'd definitely be up for returning and trying the popsicles at some point in the future!

    Nieve de Elote (corn ice cream) with cinnamon & chili powder
    Jef C.

    As far as I am aware, Paleteria Y Neveria Tocumbo is the last Mexican ice cream place in Northern DE, and it's fantastic. Many taquerias in the area sell this place's frozen treats. Prices are up to $2 for a small regardless of delivery system (e.g., cup, cake cone that other brown cone), but it's still cheap compared to the average chain. Quarts are $8. Lots of great flavors, but Nieve de Elote (sweet corn ice cream) is my family's favorite flavor. Ask for it with cinnamon and/or chili powder on top to really enhance the flavor. There are bits of real corn in it, which I love. I wish it was available all the time, but I've been told it's somewhat seasonal. Eggnog and pistachio are great, too, as well as each of the fruit flavors I've tried. I tried Queso once; despite having chunks of cheese in it, it was surprisingly not bad, though once was enough. They sell big styrofoam cups of horchata, mexican popsicles, and even elote (corn on the cob) on a stick with salt, chili powder, butter, cheese, etc. I've always wanted to try the elote, but I usually come here after a meal. Over the last year or two, they expanded into the space next to them, so it's a lot easier to get inside and order and they even have a few tables and chairs now.

    Elote (Corn) Ice Cream
    Miyah R.

    I so happened to drive passed this hidden gem by accident. My eyes lite up only because it reminds me of my childhood living out on the West Coast as Mexican ice cream are sold quite heavily through neighborhoods. They have quite an extensive variety of flavors to choose from. However, the "Elote" (Corn) is a must try. It may sound absurd, but definitely worth the taste buds. The ladies behind the counters were very nice as well. It can get quite busy though so be prepared to wait. I grew up eating this stuff and can continue to do so now that I know this place existed. I can't wait to go back!

    Corn Ice Cream!!! -order ASAP-
    Brigit B.

    Okay this place is legit. I don't care how weird it sounds, but corn ice cream is straight perfection. I've tried a few of the natural fruit bars and all have been scrumptious. Watermelon, Mango and Coconut are incredibly delicious!!! With actual pieces of fruit in each bar, these things are refreshing with zero guilt! If you're into spice, try the Mango Con Chile.....happily scorched tastebuds! The menu is huge and I anticipate falling in love with many more items in my near future. I've never imagined corn ice cream existing let alone being so scrumptious, but seriously...whoa! Bonus feature alert : you're getting dairy as well as a serving of a vegetables, practically making this joint a health food store, let's call it Trader Jose's!

I was able to order immediately and they cooked my cheesesteak quickly and to perfection. I've been going here regularly since I moved to the area two years ago and they never disappoint. This time I had extra grilled onions and sweet bell peppers on my sandwich, which they didn't have before: the choices used to be just sweet peppers or hot peppers. The sweet bell peppers gave the sandwich a nice sweet and savory touch. The steak they used is always tender and flavorful and the rolls are nice and fresh and able to hold up to the juices from the meat-never soggy (this is important for those of us who do not like soggy bread). Please note that if you come in the evenings or weekend it is very busy and it's worth it to call ahead or you'll wait a while for your food to be ready. But if you have the time to spare it's nice to browse the vintage candies and snacks they have on display that are hard to find anywhere else as well as all the autographed pictures of famous people who've come there showing its long history as a staple in the area. Nice hometown sandwich shop feel. I highly recommend!

The four cheese pizza was incredibly cheesy, but had an over-abundance of Gorgonzola/blue cheese that overwhelmed the pizza. The addition of hot sauce from another vendor made it tolerable. The pasta dishes were delicious! I wish they had offered banana peppers and a better variety of pizza toppings. Mexican vendor: I had their chicken Caesar salad and it was fantastic!
