We've come here multiple times and each time we have been met with rudeness. Once there was a group of us with three different couples. We asked to taste a flavor and were told we were only able to taste three flavors for our whole group! Each couple spent over $20 and this place could only allow each couple to taste one flavor! Today, I brought my grandson here and he asked to taste a flavor. The lady rudely said they were running low on paletas and couldn't give samples. At least say it nicely. Is this business hurting financially or are they just rude? Definitely done giving this business the benefit of the doubt. Will not be coming back.
Love love this place. Hazelnut crunch, fully dipped in milk chocolate topped with heath and almonds. Horchata half dipped in milk chocolate. They never skimp on toppings or chocolate. The guy who works here is so nice, very hard working and always welcoming.
It's been some years since I visited a Paleta Bar location. The worker looked at me like I was crazy when I asked for a milkshake with a paleta as a garnish. She said they don't do that. When I told her I was able to get that before, she gave me an attitude. Obviously, she's new bc that was an item on their menu and I was able to order that some years ago at one of their other locations. I ended up just getting a pistachio milkshake and only came in one size. My husband just got a plain lime paleta, no toppings. For just the 2 items, our total was over $13, a bit pricey. Earlier in the week, he'd gone to another Paleta Bar location where he was able to order an horchata latte from their menu but this place didn't have it. We think maybe it's b/c that place had 'cafe' in the name. Seems their menus differ across locations. I probably won't be returning to this location again. Their parking is also terrible.
The Paleta Bar has a special place in my heart. I love gourmet ice cream..I like supporting NM business...and most importantly..I'm super partial because the Paleta Bar (different branch though) was where I first met my SO..so I'm super thankful for the shop in many ways! My partner and I stopped by after our Japanese dinner night out nearby..and man...after not having non supermarket ice cream for so long during majority of COVID time...it was so satisfying to have a nice, fancy bar of your choice again. I like that the staff was so nice and helpful. She offered to get me some samples..and I did ask about some bars I had gotten at other locations too. That's when I found out each shop made their own bars and carry different combination of flavors! Nevertheless...it was so satisfying! I got some local strawberry/chocolate flavor dipped in nuts and it was amazing. So satisfying! Will go back again to any of these shops the next time I'm nearby one of them.
We just moved into the neighborhood and had spotted this place. Last night I was craving a sweet treat and decided to give it a try. I can't say enough good things about this place. Brace yourself when you get ready to order because the choices and possible combinations are endless. The shop is clean and bright and follows apl covid safety. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable and expert at making your desert camera ready but also insanely delicious. Toppings are plentiful and fruit is high quality and super fresh. This will be our family's new go to for dessert and summer treats. We tried the dipped and topped paletas and also the aqua Fresca and both were outstanding.
This place brings back good childhood memories. When I was a little kid, I used to walk to the corner paleta shop in Guadalajara, Jalisco, Mexico. They had them on every block. The Paleta Bar has making delicious paletas down. From their paletas to their aqua frescas they are all delicious and so refreshing on a beautiful day. They are always so friendly and provide great service too. The way they have the place decorated and the videos they show on their TV to show everyone visiting how nice the Albuquerque area is, is so cool. Definitely worth the visit!
Great stop for a quick dessert, and this location is always quick and has great product! I'm a simple man so I just got an almond paleta with white chocolate drizzle. It definitely hit the spot without leaving me feeling too full. I was so excited for it I almost forgot about my agua fresca! The classics cucumber lime is so refreshing and tasty that it's hard for me to try any other. Perfect place to fill a sweets craving for sure!
What's great experience was visiting this place. We tried the half dipped mango paleta in chocolate and granola and was delish. They also offer coffee, fruit cups and other goodies I didn't get to try on this visit. It was definitely and overwhelming experience with all the choices to mix your palate but very enjoyable.
This place turned out to be one of my most favorite dessert spots in New Mexico! There are sooooo many options and combinations that there is a high possibility that you will totally find something you like. Don't believe me, try all the flavors and see which one is your favorite! My favorite has to be taro. It's a unique flavor that is not usually found in traditional American restaurants. Then I topped it with white chocolate and strawberries. So good! In addition, the staff is amazing! Super friendly and very patient (we felt bad for asking for several samples, but we wanted to make sure we got our favorite :p). You best believe that I will come here again!!
Paletas from this location of the Paleta Bar have always been up to standard. Which is to say mighty good on the flavor front & highly diverse with the available topping selections. Staff has been friendly & welcoming, as well as highly proficient at doling out the frozen goodies. I've also tried their aguas and found them to be refreshing and tasty. This Paleta Bar, like the other locations, is an easy recommend for a tasty dessert stop.
Yesterday was my first visit to this westside location. I'm already a fan, and I've raved about the platinum brilliance customer service Dipo and his staff provide in past reviews. This location was no different. So many choicesssssss. Don't be shy, ask for a sample if your not sure what to pick *the taro flavor is a deliciously unique flavor!* This visit I chose the avocado, half dipped in milk chocolate and smothered in pinon nuts.....SHAZAM! My sister ordered the banana, half dipped in white chocolate and smothered in pistachio nuts....BAZINGA!!!! You simply can't go wrong, the combination choices are endless, and the agua frescas are fantastico....this really is a no brainer folks. Summer's upon us, and this is the joint!
My friend snapped me a picture and said this was the first place I needed to go to once I got back in town and that's exactly what I did. Located in the riverside plaza so you already know there's open parking. First of all this place offers so many different things. Paleta, fruit cups, agua frescas, dorinachos, jerky, and elite. Anyway we came for the paleta. Did I mention you can try any flavor before you decide!? So I got banana dipped in white chocolate and rolled in pistachios and coconut. It. Was. Bomb! No joke. It was fresh and the flavor was so good. My friend got the Hazelnut crunch paleta with white chocolate, rolled in oreos and almonds he love it! Also I couldn't leave without getting the green and red chile beef jerky and to my surprise it came with a free agua fresca, I got half watermelon and blueberry limeade. It was great so delicious! The servers were so nice and helpful also the place was spotless. We saw the owner (who's fine af) come from next door (spring rollin) and help them out with orders and pick up trash off the floor. This is a great establishment. *Just a random thought they should get their liquor license and incorporate alcohol paletas. Add shots to the agua frescas and stay open late for adults*
Wow! This is definitely a sweet treat kind of place! If you don't get your sweet tooth fix here, you're doing it wrong! I tried just the churros and coffee and it was delicious! If you want a hot or cold treat this is a good place to try and get it. Very clean and friendly place to come! Very happy I got to check it out. read more
We got the Mango Paleta dipped in tajin and drizzled with chamoy with fresh fruit in the side. I always tend to get the strawberry cream Paleta and drizzle it with white chocolate, but I decided to try the fruit today and chili tajin and chamoy and it was amazing! It's so refreshing especially for the summer. We also got a watermelon drink and I added fresh strawberries in it so delicious. read more
The Paleta Bar always provides some great flavors. Today we tried the Horchata and pistachio. I actually enjoyed the pistachio a lot more than I had thought. Many different flavors are happening inside that Paleta! The cake bars missed the boat. Definitely a Permian producer but the packaging was difficult to open and there was too much chocolate casing (typically not a bad thing). read more

Wow! Wow! Wow! I knew what the concept was but wow was I surprised about what I experienced. First impression : I was in some crazy ice cream dream! The colors of the room, the display of a few dozen flavors of ice pops, the vats of melted chocolate and candy bins of decorations! Then I was greeted by "do you want to try a flavor?" Well heck yeah, I do! That was it, I ordered a coconut ice bar, dipped in dark chocolate and sprinkled it with almonds and a little coconut! The chocolate crunch and icey coconutty delight was astounding! This was fun, delicious and decadent! Can't wait to go back! PS. They also had some cool refreshing horchata (and other drinks), yum! read more

If you have never had Paleta, you are in for a treat! It is basically ice cream on a stick, but you can add various toppings, and it is soooo good!! This is a favorite spot for a cold treat with my family. It will soon become a fave of yours! read more

Wow....this thing called Paletas! This place is over the top for Paletas! Twenty different Paletas with twelve different toppings and twelve different fruits...2,880 different combos! Beat that 31 flavors! From the cream based Paletas to the juice based option...I had the Chili Watermelon and she had the Avocado. The Chili Watermelon was dressed in Clili Lime Tajin with a drizzle of Tampico and a fresh squeezed lime! The Avocado was...and get this...dipped in dark chocolate and piñon nuts! Aguas frescas are top notch as well and super authentic. They also have family Paleta packs, fruit cups, jerky & elote!!! Makes it hard to narrow down the options and make a decision. Rest assured, any selection made will be a good one. The staff were amazing, friendly, helpful, and energetic. Space was immaculately clean. Fantastic as a romantic end to a great date as well a place to come after the Saturday soccer games! Take it old school...bring the whole family for time together over ice cream. Will definitely be back...as often as the waistline allows. Is a MUST TRY destination. read more

First, the customer services is excellent. Paleta Bar you are doing everything right! The Paleta Bar employees greet you immediately and treat you like a special guest. They offered everyone samples including drinks and beef jerky. The Paleta Bars are just amazing with so many flavors and toppings. Such an amazing treat. There are cream filled and water based treats. You can mix and match the flavors like Oreo dipped in white, dark or milk chocolate. Then pick toppings likes crushed Oreos, nuts, coconut, sprinkles or coco pebbles. Then choice to add fruits and more chocolate drizzle. Plus they have Aqua Fresca!!! read more
So yummy! This was the perfect pit stop in the middle of afternoon errands. So many welcomed options to include on top of the excellent paletas! I let the tiny foodies choose what they wanted to try and we left happy and surprisingly happy. Don't be afraid to ask which flavors pair up well with each other. They are happy to recommend. Also, ask about paletas for babies and small toddlers. If we are ever on near one with some time, we will definitely be back. It seems like the perfect place to bring a date read more
Fortunate to be introduced to The Paleta Bar by my daughter! I knew that one referral was gonna change things. I was back but not just for Paletas, in February 2018 I was visiting them to do a story on their business, at the time I was an editor & writer for a local magazine and knew I had to share this with the masses! I asked them to join the chamber (I don't work for the chamber I just make connections & suggestions ). It's been awesome seeing the news spread and seeing these guys grow in their business not just local but now in other states. So many fresh, delicious Paletas and aguas frescas. They have beef jerky and so many creative ways to eat a paleta! They even have paletas in bulk to go and have at home. Check them out! read more
Bless the person who realized that Paletas would be a phenom to share with the general public. If you don't know what Paletas are, the staff is so incredible I'm sure that they would be happy to give you a history lesson with a sample of literally every flavor, and then also make you try all the flavors of Aguas Frescas (as you should). With a rotating flavor and both cream and fruit based flavors, I recommend you go back over and over again. I know I will! read more
