Love it! So many flavors of ice cream and paletas amongst everything else they serve. I've been twice so far. I've had the strawberries and cream paleta and the arroz con leche paleta. Both delicious with actual chunks of fruit and rice. My boys were really liked their ice cream this last time. Mango and guava.
Highly recommend.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Elena C.Millbrae, CA52352Aug 3, 20241 check-in
When I first saw that a paleteria (popsicle shop) was opening up near me, I was stoked! I'm not sure if it's the unique fruit ice creams, the paletas (popsicles) or the botanas (snacks) but shops like these are nostalgic.
I was sooo excited they make Pepino Loco. The three flavors I chose were mango, lime and soursop. They also carry mangonearas and duritos but I only order the Pepino Loco.
I'm definitely coming back soon!
The establishment
- Parking is limited. I didn't see a parking lot but most people parked on El Camino.
- During my visit I didn't see tables
- Cards are accepted but there's a discount with cash purchases
Customer Service
- The staff was friendly and welcoming
- Samples are available
- There was a line but it went by fast ( don't get discouraged by the line)Helpful 1Thanks 1Love this 1Oh no 0 - Jul 19, 2024
I was absolutely thrilled when I learned we have a Paleteria in the peninsula! I visited this establishment about 3 times now within the same week so I can certainly say the taste is definitely here!
I have visited many Paleteria's in SoCal and the East Bay and it's very similar to what I have tasted before. The ice creams are rich in flavor, my favorite and always go to is the Gansito ice cream! My husband loves their in house made waffles with Nutella and strawberries/bananas. I also purchased some chips that seem to be from Mexico, absolutely flavorful and better than your normal Cheetos/Ruffles you'd get here in Cali.
The wait times really depends on the time of day, at night the munchies kick in and everyone is off of work so the foot traffic is more high. During the day everything is pretty fast and they seem to be fully staffed, a lot of hands on deck.
I can see how a lot of people are discouraged by the prices, I honestly agree that the prices could be more affordable for the amount of serving. One scoop (not a generous amount either) of ice cream and a waffle with fixings was $24.65. I do try to keep in mind all the costs maybe they have to pay but for a soft launch of their store the prices are very hard lol.Helpful 4Thanks 1Love this 2Oh no 0 - 67223363Jul 8, 2024
Just opened this past weekend - San Bruno's newest dessert place!
Solid paleteria and ice cream place. Lots of different unique ice cream flavors. My mom tried a baby scoop ($3.15) of the coffee/almond, and really enjoyed the strong coffee flavor (not too sweet!) and crunch of the nuts. Baby scoop is truly a small scoop, but it was perfect sized for her. There's fewer of the American tradition basic flavors aside from bubblegum, oreo, and chocolate, but lots of harder-to-find flavors like strawberry milk, walnut, eggnog, tamarind, guava, mamey.
Wide assortment of popsicle (paleta) flavors, and my dad enjoyed his jamaica popsicle.
Like many other paleterias, there's an assortment of other sweet and savory items like raspados, chocolate covered bananas, esquites, tostilocos. Menu listed agua frescas at $9.35 which seemed really steep. I got the mangonada ($12.47) which is on the pricier end for mangonadas, but had 3 small scoops of mango sorbet in it (instead of just crushed ice) so it was mango-y and delicious. Lots of chopped mango, some fresh and some frozen.
Plenty of snacks to buy in the store and at the cash register, though also not cheap. Bright colorful store, about 5-6 parking spots in a small lot but also plenty of neighborhood parking. Friendly staff who not only helped w/ice cream samples, but helpfully offered recommendations and explanations based on what they saw my mom eyeing.
Will definitely return with the kids for a fun treat, and to try their bionico ($11.43, +$2.08 for grande). Welcome to San Bruno, La Michoacanita!Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 0 - Jul 7, 2024
I visited today, on their second day open. You can tell they are still trying to figure it out, but are doing well. There is more than ice cream! There are many different times of snacks, Corn, chips, drinks, and desserts. Once you order, you walk around to the left and you'll wait for your order and pay.
I had the Mangonada and my girlfriend had the strawberry ice cream. She absolutely loved her ice cream, because it had pieces of strawberry in it and she said it was better than 31 flavors. My mangonada was huge, with mango ice cream, chunks of delicious mango and their special sauce. It was delicious! It was also not small and can be shared by two people. Good luck guys!!!Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 1 - Robbie Q.South San Francisco, CA4393Aug 29, 2024
There aren't many full on paleterias north of San Jose on the peninsula so this was a very welcomed addition. Clean, spacious, and a great selection of ice cream flavors and paletas among other things. Definitely check them out and support them so that they stick around

We've been waiting for this place to open for months. And so glad that it finally did.
I love that there's so many ice cream flavors to choose from and the Mexican snacks are endless. From nachos, to elotes. raspados and even got some over the counter snacks selections. there's cakes, flan, jello's etc. The place is huge with dining space or that could be their break room but hey it's open. The raspados could have been less sweeter but great customer service. The music is loud and makes it's hard to understand so being bilingual is a plus. Will definitely keep coming back to try out other foods and desserts.Helpful 1Thanks 1Love this 1Oh no 0 - Aug 11, 2024
I'm not familiar with Mexican popsicle sticks or snacks in general but this place has so many options, but its a little hard to navigate for the first timer like me, but staff walked me through it. We got 2 single scoops of ice cream (Lime & Strawberry) and a chocolate covered banana for $13, which is totally reasonable. Hopefully they turn their parking spots into a seating area so you have a place to sit and relax! Remember this used to be a dry cleaning spot.. so this is MUCH BETTER for the community!

Great Service and nice colorful decor.
Eye catching when you drive by so you can't miss it!
Not sure if this is a franchise but we went to one in Anaheim called La Michoacana. Also some in east bay as well. They sell ice cream and paletas too.
But overall nice addition to SB. Different than Baskin Robbin's for onHelpful 2Thanks 1Love this 0Oh no 0
