    Mango and chamoy

    Best chamango in SD!! This spot has been my favorite place to grab chamamgos. I've been coming here for over 5 years now. They are so delicious! They have a good amount of chamoy and Mexican candy. Always hits the spot. Staff is really sweet and works quickly for my orders. They also make snacks and food like sandwiches. I try something new every time!

    Construction on the parking structure to the Diamond Neighborhoods Family Health Center meant parking in the surrounding neighborhood and a lucky stop at Tocumbo for a 7yr old foodie who decided to run errands with me! They are a "Mom and Pop" ice cream spot near Market Creek Shopping Plaza with lots of traditional flavors alongside my Latin American favorites like Mamey, Maracuya, y Guanabana! (Oh..that's Mamey, passion fruit and sour sop- as I've heard it called by my Trinidadian friends.) We had a fun conversation with the young woman behind the counter regarding how to explain what Mamey tastes like. The closest I can think of is "tuttie fruity" lol. Hopefully with the initiative to build up Southeast SD business and residential spaces Tocumbo can bring smiles to many more faces for years to come.

    This place is pretty good especially during the hot summer days. They have homemade ice creams, mangonadas, diabilas, chamangos, sandwiches, candies, etc. They're located in a small strip mall with enough parking space and the line can be long during summer but it goes by pretty quick. I usually just grab ice cream and their chamangos here which are good. They use real fruit in their ice creams And drinks which are super refreshing! I've never tried their sandwiches although they look good. Their prices have gone up tremendously and they got rid of their points reward system.

    Menu

    Wanted to post an updated menu for here! I've lived down the street from Tocumbo for a while, but the main thing my best friend and I come for is their coconut agua fresca. They only serve it on the weekends though, so we don't get it all the time, which makes it more special! Like most places now, prices for some items I feel are a bit steep, however some items are priced fairly. Just depends on what you're looking for. Sometimes the line can get backed up, but they do their best to keep it going if your order is quicker than the person ahead. It's always clean and cool in there as well!

    Corn and Mamey

    My boyfriend took me to this place on a hot day for ice cream and for him it was for the aqua fresca juices. I was down for the idea and trying a new place. I ordered the corn and mamey scoops of ice cream, because I have never seen them on a menu and was intrigued. They have so many different flavors from sweet to savory. My guy ordered a fresh juice drink, which was also good and refreshing. I wish we had more spots like this in the Bay Area, serving up fresh refreshing sweet juice and ice creams.

    This place is so good, I've been a couple of times. It has never disappointed. I got the corn in a cup and strawberry paleta. Everything was DELICIOUS. They have the best antojitos. Parking is good and they offer a 10% off your full order with yelp check in. Whoop Whoop! Yes please #plug lol

    Found myself in the neighborhood while looking for a place for wings. Since I'm a sucker for all things ice cream, decided to stop by here for a quick treat. I ordered a small mangoneada. After taking a bite of the small mangoneada, I knew I had made a huge mistake... I should have ordered the MEGA mangoneada!! Damnittttt. My bf concocted his own milkshake creation - a blend of Oreo and Bubulubu ice cream. I told him that sounded like a weird mix and shouldn't do it. I was wrong. That shit was tasty AF.

    This was part of the Taste of Barrio Logan. I tried the single scoop of pistachio on a plain cone. They had a variety of flavors, but pistachio is my favorite. The guy at the counter was nice and accommodating. Located right next to Asian Wok. Outdoor seating area.

    Chamango
    Julie B.

    My boyfriend took me here because he usually gets chamango from here. To me, there style of chamango is different from other places I've had. It's more of a chamoy slushy with chopped mangos on top w/ Mexican candy. I prefer the mango smoothie kind with chamoy in between. We also got a mangoneada but the ice cream was lime. We wanted to try something new so we got that but it was way too sour for me, my bf liked it though lol. Also their strawberry drink is pretty good here! Really great staff! They're all very kind!

My friends and I were just looking to get a coffee in Little Italy, but when we walked in and saw all the delicious treats we had to try something else as well. I ordered a latte and neglected to tell them it was for here so I was given a paper cup, but they give real cups if you ask. The latte was good, and my friend bought a kitchen sink type cookie with chocolate, coconut, and macadamia nuts. It was warm and gooey good! Another friend tried the gelato and said it was very good. There are a few tables inside and tables out in front outside. We sat outside and enjoyed the beautiful San Diego weather. The decor and tables definitely gives you an old school Italian neighborhood vibe with Italian markets right next door. If I am in the neighborhood again, I would definitely come back here to try the gelato and/or a piece of an excellent looking lemon pie bar I spotted.

The decor and setting is cute and quirky, including cow sculptures hanging upside down from the ceiling. There were only a couple other visitors when we arrived, as it was near opening time. Our dishes took a whopping 35 minutes to be ready, and service was not very friendly nor helpful. Luckily, the music playing through the speakers added a nice vibe to the place, songs like Our House by Madness and Can't Fight This Feeling. We ordered the brunch pizza (with eggs cooked overeasy) and the breakfast flatbread which looked almost identical when served, as well as an iced mocha. The quality of the pizza was pretty average, and the eggs were slightly overcooked. The drink was really good, made fresh, with a smooth taste and a nice sweetness to it, the plastic cup coated in chocolate sauce. It tasted more like chocolate milk with a hint of coffee, which I personally enjoyed. They typically serve gelato here, but it would not be ready till almost two hours after opening time. So no milkshakes or cold desserts were available in the morning this past Sunday (no worries, Ghirardelli is just a block away). I appreciate the variety of menu items offered here. But they really should communicate online that their gelato's not ready till two hours into the day. If there's one thing that irks me about an establishment, it's failure to communicate appropriately. Even though our recent visit was somewhat disappointing, I still gave 3 stars, assuming this was an off day for them.

We stopped by recently and got incredibly lucky--there was no line in sight, so we walked right up to order! The Cookies: Gooey, Crisp, & Perfectly Balanced My wife decided to try a trio of cookies, picking out Snickerdoodle, Peanut Butter Reese's, and classic Chocolate Chip. They completely nailed the texture. Every single cookie hit that golden sweet spot--warm and gooey in the middle with just the right amount of crisp edge. What really stood out was the balance of ingredients. Chocolate Chip: Perfectly measured so you get sweet chocolate in every bite without feeling overwhelmed by chips. Peanut Butter Reese's: An absolute dream ratio of rich peanut butter to chocolate peanut butter cups. Snickerdoodle: Perfectly spiced, striking just the right "snicker-to-doodle" balance! Of course, we couldn't leave without trying the ice cream. I ordered a combination of Cookie Monster and Campfire in a single scoop. The portion size was remarkably generous--it completely filled up the small cup and delivered a fantastic mix of flavors. My wife went with a scoop combining Espresso Oreo and Mint & Chip, which she thoroughly enjoyed. Overall, these were easily some of the best desserts we've had in a very long time. Whether you're a local or just exploring the downtown area, Milk & Cookies is well worth a visit.
