Panchitos Ice Cream

I’ve been wanting to stop by here for a while because the desserts pictured on the outside of the place were so unfamiliar to me. Corn in dessert? Desserts that look spicy? It had my attention. When we arrived the line was very long so it seemed promising. The ice cream was pretty good and the fruits all looked fresh and much better quality than you would find at a frozen yogurt place.
I ordered a vampiro which is a cup with mango, strawberry and then some melons in it. Then a liquid is poured in that’s kind of like the really acidic juice that strawberries will sometime be in at frozen yogurt places. Then it’s topped off with some sort of spice and a straw that’s coated with something else that I’m not sure about. It was very different than anything I’d ever had before so I’m glad I tried it but I didn’t care for it. The liquid in it got better as the mango kind of dissolved into it but it still just tasted like a lot of spicy acidity. The honey dew melons were super hard and didn’t seem to add anything to it.
I was the only person that entered that didn’t speak Spanish and I think it flustered the server a bit but we got through it. It probably helped that I wasn’t trying to customize my order or ask questions about ingredients or anything because her English seemed very poor. I don’t care or anything but it’s something to note if you are the type that needs to know what you’re about to eat.
I noticed a couple things that are usually not going on at ice cream places. The employee had extremely long fingernails with polish and everything. That’s not usually allowed at ice cream places where employees will be scooping ice cream. It makes it difficult and those types of fingernails can chip and flake or break into the ice cream. This may be the reason why all of the ice cream looked a little soft which makes me worry about whether the ice cream was being kept frozen at the right temperatures.
Also I’m not sure what was going on since I don’t speak Spanish but either A) some customers totally cut to the front of the line and were served or B) some customers ordered food and came back to the front of the line to pay after they had eaten it. This was as I was leaving so I didn’t get to see if B was the case but some of the other Spanish speaking customers in line looked to be greatly annoyed so I think it was A but my wife believed it was B. Either way the customers did not seem happy about it.
