| - Paletas Betty totally doesn't need yet another enthusiastic review, but I can't help myself.
Located in the cute downtown Chandler area, it is walking distance from tons of little restaurants and shops. The storefront is adorable - big tall windows, a couple of tables on the patio outside and some additional tables inside. There are some cute paintings on the far wall of various Paletas-making and selling scenes - picturesque and perfect.
The menu is a digital readerboard and is a little tough to read - it flips through the various flavors, listed with the flavor names in Spanish and the descriptions in tinier writing underneath. I usually have to watch the rotation and reread the descriptions a few times before I'm able to determine what I actually wanted.
I'm not always a big popsicle fan - melty sticky sugar water on a stick has never been a big favorite of mine. I was drawn into Paletas Betty by the fact that they use real ingredients and that a million billion yelpers can't possibly be wrong.
We frequent a few of the restaurants nearby and one of our favorites (San Tan Brewery) has a rather lackluster summer dessert offering. After ordering their Blondie and being disappointed more than once, we finally decided to search for an alternative sweet treat destination. Paletas Betty was oh-too-convenient, amazingly delicious, and the price is more than right.
On our first visit, we tried the Pineapple (sweet and tart, just perfect!) and the Mexican Hot Chocolate (also amazing - the spice mix incorporated into the creamy chocolate makes for a nice complex flavor that I couldn't get enough of)
On subsequent visits, we've tried Orange Cream, Strawberry Cream, Raspberry, and Butter Pecan. They were all really delicious. I'm always so torn on whether to return to a previous favorite or try yet another new flavor... its a tough decision :) Luckily, at $2.75 each, they are inexpensive enough that we can make plenty of visits without breaking the bank.
There are a few little touches that make them unique and fun: each popsicle has a little "bite" out of the corner - so cute! and the popsicle packages have a purple Paletas Betty sticker that can be removed and stuck to a toddler's t-shirt, the wall, etc.
Service has always been good - there has been a younger girl working the counter each time we've been in, and the last couple of times she's recognized us (you're back again? :) )
I wish they had a "kid" size for the popsicles - the regular size is a bit unwieldy for my 3 year old, but he's at a point where he doesn't really want to share with mom and dad. That's really my only complaint, and even that is a stretch.
If you haven't been, please go try one and pick one up for me while you're at it!!
