    Bocaditos de Helado
    Kristine S.

    Hubby and I stopped by Tio Colo's to try the famous bocaditos de helado. These were a perfect late night dessert - not too sweet and good size. We tried the dulce de leche and guayaba. The fruit flavor was on the light side and could have been more flavorful. The sandwich part was a fluffy cake like texture topped with a little sugar. I would definitely recommend Tio Colo's bocaditos de helado!

    Really cute ice cream store in a strip mall. This was my first time trying a Cuban ice cream sandwich. I chose Guava flavor which was really good. The server was very nice. I look forward to trying other flavors another day.

    So this has been on my radar for a while as I have never tried a Cuban pizza before or their speciality ice creams. I am married to a Cuban, but he is essentially a New Yorker having been a NYPD Lieutenant out there for many years. He told me "you won't particularly like the Cuban pizza" as he claims to know me, and he is also not bothered himself eithger about the Cuban style of pizza, preferring other alternatives. He never has ordered it or had it to my knowledge in the 6.5 years I have known him. Any way....... I came today to try both. I ordered the Guava pizza, as I was very curious as to what it was. I have had a Nutella pizza before and it took me a few tries to accept a sweet pizza, (but it did grow on me). The pizza is definitely NOT Italian that's for sure. I enjoyed it, but it is definitely not my fever, or as us Brits say "my cup of tea". There was nothing wrong with the pizza, the service or the establishment, I just prefer a thinner crispier Italian style pizza. From what I can muster Cuban pizza is more like a doughy thicker softer crust, more like a bread, and that to me is stodgy n heavy. I am very glad I sampled it though, and would not be opposed to trying it again, maybe a different one. Incidentally to be noted the pizza is made fresh and took about ten minutes and was piping hot. Then I tried their ice cream, which is a slice of ice cream sat between a sheet pan cake with a light sugar dusted on it and sealed in a nice package. They had load of flavours to choose from (approx 15 I would guess). I tried the coconut one, which was pleasant, but no wow factor for me. Again I would be happy to try another flavour. These are probably a fun way to get a stack for a party! (if you are a fan of course) The lady behind the counter was very friendly and helpful and told me that it was originally her Fathers shop. I love the fact that it is a family business. So if you love Cuban style pizza, and Cuban style ice cream, this is surely your spot. Go try it out.

    Bocaditos flavors

    I heard about this place for a while and was in the area today so I stopped by for lunch. If you're not specifically looking for it, you'll pass right by it. It's on the corner of an industrial style strip mall. It's a small location and there are no tables to sit. It's strictly pick up and take out. I was surprised by that. Would love to see a table or two in the future. Cuban style pizza is not for everyone, but I really like it. I ordered the personal Hawaiian pizza. Bonus points for all the ham they top it with- and it's chopped in really small pieces. Of course I had to try the famous ice cream bocaditos and they did not disappoint. I got the mantecado and the almendra. They're really good. The outer cake portion is dusted with sugar. It was delicious. The woman behind the counter was friendly and the food did not take long to prepare. I don't think I was there more than 10 minutes. It was fresh and the pizza was steaming hot. If I'm in the area again I will definitely stop by to try some of the other ice cream flavors.

    Dulce de Leche Bocadito de Helado
    Lourdes D.

    I'm absolutely obsessed with the bocaditos de helado (aka Cuban ice cream sandwiches) from this spot. I've been coming here throughout the years, and it always hits. Today I tried the dulce de leche bocadito, which was dulce de leche ice cream sandwiched between two soft cookies dusted with sugar. I'm not doing the cookie portion justice because it's definitely something you gotta try to understand. They serve it tightly wrapped in parchment paper straight from the freezer, so you gotta give it just a few minutes to melt for it to be at it's peak deliciousness. Tio Colo's is located in an unassuming warehouse area in Hialeah, so you may get a little confused/lost thinking you're going the wrong way. Don't worry... you ain't. Plenty of parking out front!

    Chorizo Pizza
    Bryant R.

    Best Cuban pizza in Miami! I absolutely love their chorizo personal pizza, the crispy crust is what always get me! The personal pizza is perfect for one and it is only $6. Aside from the pizza they also have delicious ice cream sandwich which are $2. I always end up buying minimum 4 ice cream sandwich's and a personal pizza. It's a great spot, very small but perfect. Watch out Rey's pizza, Tio Colo has your numbers on pizza! -Growling Stomach approves this message

    Personal Hawaiian pizza
    Sergio F.

    Hidden away next to a hairsalon in Hialeah's warehouse district is a ice cream and Cuban pizza speakeasy. You see a counter, a few chairs, and a door. If you say hi to the sweet Cuban abuela at the counter and peek in, you'll see a pizza oven and a cart of ice cream sandwiches (aka Bocaditos). For the uninitiated, Cuban Pizza is similar to Chicago pizza, with more cheese and a fluffier crust but with the toppings on the pizza rather than baked in. I ordered my usual (yep Hawaiian) pizza, personal size and was sure to ask for extra sauce (and they didn't backcharge). The pizza had plenty of ham, pineapple and of course extra tomato sauce. The crust was fluffier than my usual thin crust but all of the taste was there. The shop is also known for "bocaditos" Ice cream sandwiches, and I ordered an orange and pineapple one. It was more of a sorbet, and not overly sweet, and served on a slightly toasted biscuit (tasted like the "base" of a poptart). Service was excellent for what's nominally a takeout spot. I didn't want to take my food home to avoid washing dishes and sharing with Luna (bad dog dad) and the hostess accomodated, letting me eat there.

    Supreme

    Great pizza spot in Hialeah. They are quick to make and the pizzas are quite tasty. My favorite was the personal pizza because it offered a crispy bottom without over burning. The only complaint is that the supreme option wasn't as crispy so I would recommend the personal sizes

    Bill G.

    Solid four stars for Tio Colo! Best Cuban Pizza in Dade and Broward. Now that they have tables and chairs you can dine in. I have noticed this pizza taste best when eaten shorty after it comes out of the oven. Chorizo is the way to. 9/15/2018 Another trip to Tio Colo as I had the urge! Pizza was not as good as last time. The crust this time lacked that crunchy texture and the amount of chorizo was on the skimpy side. There seems to be some inconsistency, was not bad but certainly not as good as it has been. Writing it off to a bad day but if it continues I may take it down a notch.

    We came here after eating a very overpriced and unimpressive dinner at the idiotically-named…read more"Amalfi Llama" (tells you everything you need to know!), and let's just say that this place did little to put us in better spirits. As seems to be the case with most places nowadays, the tables were dirty and everything seemed to be all over the place. We did appreciate that one of the sales associates came over to explain the whole "concept" to us and guide us through the ordering process. The whole operation is so tacky with their fake periodic table, etc, but sure, OK, let's go with it, eye roll. The ice cream situation itself, despite the whole "scientific" nitro-hoopla, is not that great, Our daughter got chocolate with gummy bears, and the chocolate was pretty melty while the (fully intact) gummy bears were hard as a rock. And the gummy bears were extra large and seemingly all orange-flavored?? Our kiddo complained that they tasted like pure orange peels, and she barely ate half of her cup. The "ubelicious" was good flavor-wise, but again, the ice cream was kinda melty and the pieces of oreo in it were massive. One of us got the biscoff, which was the thickest of the lot, but it was almost too thick that it felt like creamy cement. So, overall, nothing was quite right here. Prices are steep, and the vibe just wasn't our thing, and the ice cream wasn't anything to write home about. So, overall, meh.

    I have to say, Nitrogen Chill Ice Cream is hands down the best ice cream I've ever had! What makes…read moreit stand out is not only the flavor but also how much healthier and fresher it feels compared to traditional ice cream. They use fresh milk and freeze it right in front of you with liquid nitrogen, so it never sits in a freezer or develops that icy, hard texture. The result is smooth, creamy, and unbelievably fresh. Another thing I loved is how light it felt afterward -- I didn't get that heavy, sick feeling you sometimes get after eating sweets. It's indulgent but still feels good for your body. I'd recommend Nitrogen Chill to anyone who wants a unique ice cream experience that's both delicious and better-for-you.

Unfortunately, I will never know if any of it actually tastes good. I have a nut allergy, the kind that in 25 years of living and ice cream in 30+ countries has never once stopped me from ordering. I asked about a specific flavor, was told it contained no nuts, and then was promptly informed I could not order it due to my allergy. After some back and forth I was told the only flavor I could order was vanilla :( I appreciate caution around allergies, I truly do. But most establishments handle this with a standard cross-contamination warning and let the adult with the allergy make an informed decision. As someone who has worked in an ice cream shop (without a problem) it makes me question their food handling and cleanliness... I left without ordering anything. But everyone around seemed to be enjoying the $9 scoops of what I can only assume were life-changing flavors The place looks great. I hope they revisit how they handle allergy disclosures, because I genuinely wanted to love it and I'd like the chance to actually try it someday.
