"We were completely thrilled to find this place. They make their own ice cream and are very generous with their scoops. It's tucked away in a little strip mall bordering on a residential neighborhood that you would never find if you weren't looking for it. The people were so nice and accommodating. They have an abundance of special flavors and are happy to give you a sample. I just can't say enough good about our visit today."

"Very nice customer service! This was my first time visiting and the girl behind the counter gave me some samples of her favorite flavors. I ended up choosing the last one - blue cookie monster! It was delicious in a waffle cone. Definitely worth the visit to this little hidden gem!!"

"Ice cream place with Mexican inspired flavors. We visited twice so far and tried 3 flavors each time (including fresas con crema both times) - they were all really good. Note: the storefront shows a different name than what's listed online but it's the store at the 2251 location. Would be helpful if they updated the online menu with all their flavors too"

"6/21/25 There is a lot to choose from here. The ice cream is delicious. I think there was 30 flavors. They also had many kinds of popsicles, covered bananas., different fruit cups, and much more. Everything looks so delicious! I had the strawberries and cream. The cream was very rich tasting. I also had two different flavors of ice cream in a cup. Their ice cream is very rich and creamy tasting. The woman let me taste test several kinds. She was very kind and patient with me. I will definitely come back here again! This place is located right behind McDonald's on Independence Ln. and E Washington."

"The service is always excellent! I've been there 3 times, now. The same young woman ends up helping us, every time. She is very nice. I've tried the Cheese, Pistachio, and Oreo ice cream flavors. All of those flavors were delicious! What I liked most about the Oreo flavor is that it was creamier than what I have tasted, before. Next, I want to try the Guava flavor! I will continue to go back there to try more flavors!"

"Anytime that I am transported to another part of the world while still at home it’s a great experience. From the moment I walked through the door I was reminded of an ice cream shop I visited in Juchitan in Oaxaca. The flavors, the prices, you should not miss this fantastic experience."
