“ I love this place! The music playing in the shop, the friendly customers, and of course the chomoyada! The person working let me try as many flavors as I wanted, and even though I accidentally threw away my spoons in the clean spoon jar, they didnt get mad and were still nice to me! ”
“ They have menus with pictures making it real easy to order. We got a SandiLoca. They carve out a watermelon and put the chunks back in the half shell with cucumbers, pineapple, mango, peanuts, jicama, tajin, and a very mild red sauce. Then to top it off, they squeeze lime all over it and put a scoop of watermelon gelato on top. Pretty amazing! When I walked in they were cutting all the fruit fresh. Definitely worth checking out. ”
“ Love this place! Its very clean and amazing! Friendly staff and the ice cream is to death for! I normally dont like Coconut ice cream but its the best! I only like ice cream from this place and its so smooth, creamy and not too sweet! Definitely try this place! I saw its the best ice cream in the mission! Yummy Yummy! ”
“ Corn ice cream WoooOOOooo great stuff! ”
“ This place is a little more pricier than Im used to and it takes a while for your order but it is well worth the wait. The owner is super friendly and accommodating too I love my esquite with extra extra chile and he remembers that and also provides me with an bottle of chile liquido on the side. They use the OG mexican white corn, so make sure to get there early because they tend to run out around 7pm. I havent tried their ice cream yet but their variety in flavors makes me excited to try them out once the weather warms up. ”
