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
Tania D.

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

Small little place
Kimberly Z.

My brother heard great things about these little Cuban "ice cream sandwich" bocaditos. I wasn't too sure what to expect. It was a tiny little shop. Friendly staff. Make you feel at home. The desert was unique and delicious! They have a ton of flavors to choose from. Just wish i had ordered more to take home lol. They also have amazing pizza supposedly, but we already ate so we didn't get it. But i really want to try the pizza next time! I wish i lived closer, but I'll definitely be back when in the area :)

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.

That being said, I hadn't stepped inside here for years and I can definitely tell. The staff is different; they actually have women working here now. For some reason or another, my experiences here were always with men. Anyhow, aside from the staff, they changed the placement of the tables and they added another cooler with just empty ice cream bins. They used to provide free water, but that doesn't exist anymore. Needless to say, this Carvel is nothing like that of my childhood. But what about the ice cream? Eh, it's not a big deal. I used to love the soft serve vanilla with rainbow sprinkles and that old favorite was what I had, but it simply didn't live up to my memories. It was good but not great. The sizes here have also changed; a lot more variety exists now. Unfortunately, I think I prefer the Carvel of my childhood. This one is merely okay and the fact that the ice cream made me have a slight stomachache soon after doesn't help. Consider yourself lucky I'm not rating lower.

It is one of my go-to places to take visitors from out of town - you get a delicious sweet treat and so many flavors that just scream Miami and Miami culture.

Azucar bills itself as the first homemade Cuban ice cream and I believe it. Get the Abuela Maria. It is their number one seller for a reason: guava, cream cheese, and Maria cookies folded together, and it tastes exactly like something a Cuban grandmother would make if she also happened to be a genius. Cafe con Leche and Mantecado round out the top three and neither disappoints. Real talk on the practical stuff. It is busy and the shop is small, so expect a line and expect to eat standing or perched on the window bench. Prices run about seven to eleven bucks a cup depending on size, but taxes are included in the sticker (rare and appreciated, no surprise math at the register). Cash and Apple Pay both work. Pro move: grab your cup, walk thirty seconds to Domino Park, and eat it watching the old timers slap dominoes. That combo is peak Little Havana. Five stars, would fly back to Miami for the Abuela Maria alone.

Classic American ice cream parlor with creative and amazing flavors for everyone to choose from!!…read more Every time I'm back home in South Florida, I always make it a must to stop by here for a sweet treat. I've had their ice cream sundaes in the past and they're delicious! They even offer ice cream by the scoops (cup or cone), milkshakes/malts, ice cream sodas, and freezes. We stopped by last week after craving a sweet treat on a hot and sunny day. Our son has been into cookies and cream milkshakes lately so we decided to get two milkshakes. What I really like about this place is that they have a take out window for quick and on the go orders. I've dined in a few times in the past which the restaurant is so nostalgic with all the decor. The staff are friendly and efficient. We didn't wait long for our milkshakes. Our son absolutely loved his Oreo cookie milkshake. I have to admit that I've never tried their savory dishes but it definitely gives us a good reason to come back the next time we visit. We will be back!

I am not someone who typically leaves negative reviews, but this experience really upset me…read more We had heard this was a historic ice cream parlor, so we decided to go out of our way to check it out. While we were waiting in line, my 22-year-old daughter and her 19-year-old friend went inside to look around and browse the items for sale. They were approached by a female employee who rudely asked what they were doing. Fortunately, a nearby gentleman spoke up and said that they were clearly just looking around at the merchandise. My daughter ordered a double scoop without realizing how enormous it would be. The $14 double scoop on a waffle cone was literally about to topple over. Because the line was very long, I didn't want to cut in front of other customers just to ask for a cup. Instead, I stepped inside and asked an employee if I could have one to help save the ice cream from disaster. He gladly handed me a cup, and I politely thanked him. As I was transferring the ice cream, the same rude employee came outside and told me that I should have gotten back in line and waited for a cup. She barked, "The cups cost 50 cents extra." I responded that I would have been happy to pay the 50 cents, but we were having an ice cream emergency. Her response was, "Next time, wait in line and pay for the cup!" Keep in mind, I had just spent $38 plus a tip on two cones and a malt. I'm pretty sure I could afford the extra 50 cents. Needless to say, we won't be a next time. Ever. People who don't like dealing with customers shouldn't be working in customer service. Oh, and according to the girls, the ice cream wasn't life-changing, either.
