They have good service good food and the cashews were super nice and the wait was super fast

Music for customers to listen to while they enjoy their treats
Victoria V.

I'm a Latina that married into a huge Mexican family that has taught me how to eat and enjoy all Mexican food and their so called "sweets" (candy, pastries, chips, and fruit concoctions) It's like they add CHILE (spicy powder/liquid) to everything. So here's what I can tell you... First of all, foods and sweets vary depending on the region they're from, in this case, EL ZALATE is a small city in Sinaloa (from what I was told) So everyone makes these fruit concoctions differently. Second, the names to half of their desserts don't describe what you're ordering or what they have but THANKFULLY this small spot has large colorful posters all over their restaurant for you to get a visual of what you're ordering and what's in it. You can always ask them what's exactly in them, and they don't mind leaving things out if you ask. Lastly, the place is perfect for kids and families to enjoy an evening or after school snack. It's always clean, the employees are very polite and willing to explain all of their items on the Menu. They've been pretty spot-on with the things they advise (say you don't like peanuts, chile, or a specific fruit) but it's definitely not your typical ice cream spot. This is a place that will hook it up and there's definitely something on the Menu for everyone. My husband and I tried their juices and they were too sweet for our liking for being freshly made... Hibiscus [Jamaica] juice and Horchata. Lots of places in the valley that make them differently; heck, if you go next door to the Pupusa restaurant and try THEIR Salvadoran Horchata, you'll see what a HUGE difference there is considering it's from a completely different country. I highly recommend this to everyone and anyone with a sweet tooth wanting to try something different than your typical ice cream and yogurt spot. Sitting area is big enough for small groups. In a sketchy neighborhood but trust me, there's plenty of traffic in the area, you should be okay. We got out of the bike trail headed to the University of Phoenix stadium to get a quick refresher and were sold on the first visit. Authentic Mexican desserts, snacks, and everything in between.

Love that this is so close to church so I can get my Mango Loco fix that much quicker. The place is very clean and has several tables to accommodate customers. It's super helpful that they have posters of the various menu items so you can have an idea of what you're getting. BONUS: They carry Thrifty's ice cream!! Yippee!

Best raspados in town! Place is always clean and inviting. I'm addicted to the lemon raspados, the fresas con crema, and the tosti-cheviche!

Diablito mango/fresa, Tosti-loco, elote en vaso
Sophia F.

Great tasting Diablitos!!! I always come here for a Diablito because they make it exactly how I like it. I recommend coming in the morning/afternoon and when it's not so busy because that is when they make it absolutely perfect. The only thing I don't like is that they are a bit rude. I know little Spanish and the little Spanish I do know I try to use and explain what I want. The cashier just looked at me ugly and told me "que?" Not even bothering to help me out or speak even one word in English for me. Other than that the food and drinks are great

Mango Loco

My favorite place for snacking. Mango Loco has everything but the kitchen sink, yumm! Their elotes are huge and awesomely delicious.

mangoneada, a real mango popsicle made churrumais style with lemon and chili. So yum.

Delicious fresh fruit frozen treats in a well air conditioned shop. I got the mangoneada, a homemade mango popsicle made churrumais style w/ lemon and chili. Perfect for the heat of Arizona summers.

We've worked our way through what feels like almost the entire dessert case over the years, and I can honestly say I've yet to find something I didn't love. Every pastry is beautifully crafted, incredibly fresh, and tastes like it was made with so much care. This visit was all about the cannoli, and let me just say... craving officially satisfied! The shell had that perfect crisp snap, while the filling was silky, rich, and just the right amount of sweet. It was everything I had been dreaming about and then some. Walking into The Sicilian Baker always feels like stepping into a little slice of Italy. Between the gorgeous display of desserts and the irresistible aroma of fresh pastries, it's nearly impossible to leave with just one treat (don't say I didn't warn you! ). Whether you're stopping in for a post-dinner dessert, celebrating something special, or simply giving in to a sweet tooth like I did, this place is absolutely worth the visit. Every dessert we've tried has been phenomenal, and this cannoli was another delicious reminder of why we keep coming back. Sweet craving? Check. Happiness? Double check.

I came here for the first time with my son after hearing it was highly recommended, and I…read moreabsolutely loved it! The staff members were incredibly friendly and helpful. I especially want to compliment Libby. I didn't realize the store wasn't very stroller-friendly because of the tight spaces, but Libby took the time to help me navigate the store while I shopped. She also told me about upcoming events, including their wine tasting. I had the chance to try their seasonal pumpkin spice drink, and it was delicious! I'm usually not a pumpkin spice fan, but I'm so glad I tried it. It had the perfect amount of flavor without being overly sweet. If you're a mama visiting with a little one, I recommend using a baby carrier or placing a pickup order. If you live nearby, I'd also suggest walking over because parking can be limited. Overall, I had a wonderful experience and definitely plan to return to try their food and do more shopping!
