| - Simple place, fun flavors. First Mexican ice cream shop in Dane County.
The atmosphere is not remarkable: plastic tables & chairs, minimal decor. However, there are a ton of different flavors of ice creams & paletas, as well as aguas frescas (fruits blended with water), ice creams made with water rather than dairy, and a few savory snacks. Cash only at the moment.
My paleta (ice cream pop) was piñón (pinenut). It consisted of a sweet, floral (not vanilla, more floral, not lavender) flavor with pinenuts in it. Pinenuts are quite expensive these days, so I was surprised that it had real pinenuts in it. I'm not sure how the flavor of the ice cream had anything to do with the pinenuts but they were a pleasant addition. The other flavor was Galletas Marías, which is based off of a cookie that's very popular in Mexico.Total for 1 scoop in a waffle bowl and 1 paleta was less than $6.
Not much of an atmosphere inside, but enough interesting flavors to keep me coming back, especially if you want a lighter ice cream.
