Paleteria Los Michoacanos
The milk pops and water ices at this Corona paleteria are so deeply flavorful we’d eat them in a blizzard. Of the 30 milk-based options, the queso con zarzamora (cheese and blackberries) is one of their most popular flavors, and we can confirm that our love of cheese extends to the frozen variety. If you’re with friends, convince them to get the pine nut, rice pudding, and guava ones so you can try those too. If you’re dairy-free, or just can’t fathom putting anything in your body on an especially hot day but ice and more ice, their water ice pops are the perfect upgrade to an otter pop, except instead of running around with something bright blue that tastes like medicine, you’ll get tamarind-chili ice in your mouth before it melts. The shop gets crowded in the summertime, with people also filing in for scoops of gansito flavored ice cream, strawberry ice cream sandwiches, and other treats you'd shamelessly cut the line in front of a bunch of kids for.
