Yaaaaaaaaas!
Very good ice cream and popsicles(paleta) I would highly recommend then pistachio or coconut. They also have pistachio dipped in chocolate with coconut shavings it's to die for!!
Large selection of flavors, made two ways. With water or with milk, both are very good! The ice cream is very good as well! Highly recommend if you are visiting. -

This was a stop on the Vallarta Eats Food Tour.
At first, I was a bit disappointed when we arrived here as we had subpar ice cream from a shop of the same name near the Malecón. Turns out, according to our guide, the name "La Michoacana" can be used by anyone in Mexico operating a business. Good, I thought, but would they have the same, flavorless ice cream? Only one way to find out!
ATMOSPHERE:
The corner shop has no seating so it's all take away. Two freezers contained neatly stacked homemade popsicles and a nice variety of ice cream. My only concern was of the shop owner's bird that was flying around in the shop that perched above the overturned ice cream cups with dried bird poop running down the walls. Yuck!
DESSERT:
Chocolate Chip Ice Cream
All qualms disappeared after my first bite. The very yellow-colored vanilla ice cream was smooth and creamy with the perfect amount of chocolate chips.
Popsicles
A plethora of colors and flavors were available in which my spouse chose strawberry, complete with an actual strawberry fruit stuck into the bottom of it. He reported it tasted okay but could've been a bit sweeter.
SERVICE:
The man serving us was friendly and explained the flavors since no signage was available.
OVERALL:
This La Michoacana, located more inner city, was good. A five star rating could be had if pet tweety wasn't flying around and pooping. -

Great mom and pop shop selling paletas, agua fresca, and more. Make sure to get the mamè paleta, it's my favorite! They also have other great tropical flavors like coconut, mango, elote, passion fruit, etc. $17p for paletas with water and $22p for paletas made with milk.

Such bomb paletas here. They have milk-based and fruit based.
Leche/Milk based (22 pesos), which is like a dollar only!
My favorite is Mamo flavor
Fruita based $17pesos
Favorite: mango with chili.
parking: public underground parking structure by blue shrimp restaurant (20 pesos per hour) -

Somewhere beyond the wall is a small store, a kind soul, and frozen happiness--flavors of popsicles and ice cream that can't be found around here. I remember a time when I picked out the prettiest speckle-colored lick toy from the neat piles of rainbows and gemstones. I licked, closed my eyes, and left the earth for a brief moment, only knowing that the cold treat against my tongue was a taste of innocent joy, long lost.
I remember licking faster and harder, racing against the hot sun who also pressed its warm lips against my popsicle, turning it into a mess of sticky sweet fruit essence and smearing it between my fingers. Time stood still as I concentrated on winning, but it was hard; kids ran along the cobblestone streets laughing and jumping, gleefully being gleeful, and sometimes I had to miss a few licks to just smile and think to myself what a beautiful place to live. We even passed a few stores where there were no adults to be seen--one where the cashier was just a small child with her even smaller brother, peering straight up at the sky at me, from the gap between two huge front teeth.
Maybe someday the wall will fall, as it fell nearly 30 years ago, and we will be free to see our neighbors once more. That little girl and her littler brother would probably be all grown up, but that's okay; hopefully, they'll come over and open up a popsicle shop for us, selling rainbows and gemstones.
5/5
