Time to bump my rating of La Michoacana up to four stars. They have become more user-friendly since my previous visit: There are now labels on the tubs of ice cream and prices are now posted in the store.
What hasn't changed are the unique, delightful flavors served up from this strip mall location on Odana Road, which range from the traditional (chocolate and vanilla) to the unconventional (pinecone seed, gansito - a.k.a. Mexican Twinkie, tequila, yes, TEQUILA!) La Michoacana also sells vegan friendly water-based ice creams in a variety of fruit flavors (lime, strawberry, tamarind, pineapple, etc.)
I opted for the Cajeta, a caramelized goat's milk ice cream, which I enjoyed a great deal. Unlike many other caramel ice creams, this one is not cloyingly sweet, since the tang of the goat's milk helps balance out the sweetness of this offering. However, it still offers plenty of satisfying natural, caramel flavor. The texture of the Cajeta was uneven: most of the time it had a texture somewhere between traditional American ice cream and Italian gelato, but there were occasional icy patches and some graininess. Even with those textural problems, it was very satisfying.
My daughter boldly stated that this was the best Oreo ice cream she ever had. I had a small taste and agreed it was exceptional.
The cost of two massive waffle comes was $6. This much product at any of the local froyo places would be at least $8.
If you are looking for a change of place to your ice cream routine, I highly recommend a trip to La Michoacana.
