A little disappointed of the salchipulpos :( It was literally like 2 small hotdogs & they were burnt, I expected maybe like 6-8 little octopuses for the price but was more french fries.
The only reason why I’m leaving a 1 star is because you guys need to change the closing time.
Rude worker. He wanted to put me down for no reason.

“Amazing scooping of GANZITO (Mexican Twinkie) as I got ALL ingredients in one scoop including the cake”
“I recently had the chance to try La Michoacana and oh my goodness it was so delicious.”
I recently had the chance to try La Michoacana and oh my goodness it was so delicious! I never knew how many choices of treats were available, it was hard to just choose one. I ordered the Gaspacho along with the flamin hots and cheese and the Mangoneada for my girlfriend. We had the best time ever sitting in my trunk while enjoying our treats. I know I’ll be coming back sooner than later.

“Suuuch good ice cream.”
Suuuch good ice cream! So creamy and real fresh fruit in the flavors. (Strawberry cheese cake was the best version of that I’ve had period). Like an endless amount of flavors to try and paletas too. Great elote as well and service was top notch at 11PM on a Saturday. I’ll be back, thanks!

“My partner and I stopped by La Michoacana in Pilsen over the weekend, and we were so impressed.”
My partner and I stopped by La Michoacana in Pilsen over the weekend, and we were so impressed! I had the strawberries and cream agua fresca, and it was absolutely delicious and refreshing—it instantly took me back to my time in Monterrey, Mexico. My partner had a mango and coconut ice cream cone, and both flavors were perfectly balanced—not too sweet, just pure, fresh goodness. You can really tell they make everything with love! On top of the amazing treats, the customer service was fantastic—friendly and welcoming, which made the experience even better. We’ll definitely be coming back for more!

“The best ice cream shop in Chicago.”
The best ice cream shop in Chicago! Definitely top 5 globally IMO. Great ice cream, great palletas, and anything else. Pepino/cucumber sorbet is amazing! Ferrero Rocher, Piñon, and Rum Raisin are great ice creams. Pistachio and Nuez are the best palettas. I come here a couple times a month without fail!
