La Mejor De Michoacan 3

Cute ice cream shop that serves awesome ice, ice cream, and corn covered in Mayo. The ice in a cup is really delicious. Definitely recommend checking this place out for a nice icy treat. They have ice flavours ranging from fruits like mango to ice cream flavoured pistachio, coconut, and cookies and cream

This is probably the most amazing ice cream in gwinnette county. You can tell it is small batch ice cream made with premium ingredients. I love every flavor I have tasted. I get the milk base but the water based fruit ice creams are delicious. Also the popcicles look fabulous with or without the chocolate dipping and nuts! Whoo Hoo! I love their coconut, coffee and limon which is really lime ice cream flavors. I have only tried scoops but that is enough. You must find this out of the way spot and treat yourself. btw… The bakery next door was also a good find. We had to try something and whatever it was, it was great.

If I rated a business strictly based on their product, hands down, this place would get 5 stars. Their special treats are to die for. I crave for the corn and mango chamoyada quite often. However, the lack of 2 stars goes out to the tatted up gangsta girls who work behind the counter. They could use a little training in customer service. I would rather go somewhere else and pay more for a pleasant experience. Who wants to go to a business, spend hard earned dollars to receive bad attitude and feel unappreciated? Not I.

Love this place! I always get the chamoyada with guava ice cream or the guava ice cream on its own! That ice cream is to die for. I don’t live close to it anymore but I’m willing to come back on my way home or to one of the other locations.

If you’re looking for a different dessert venue other than your average ice cream, then get ready to try this place out. Their ice cream is freshly made daily/​weekly by their staff and it tastes great! Cold, smooth, and creamy. I tried their mango chamoyda (sp?). It’s packed with fresh mango ice cream, topped off with tamarind syrup. Delicious! You can taste the chunks of fresh mango in the ice cream– and the sour syrup satisfies the rest of your taste buds.
They are usually packed, very long line out the door at times. But their service is superb– it seems like a lot of their customers are regulars and know what they want so the line moves quick!
Parking is the only issue, small parking lot.

I love finding great places that are off the beaten path. La Mejor is definitely one of them, its location is off located in a Mexican plaza that would be easy to miss if you were just driving past. Entering the place, I saw people in the back peeling some corn, it is really indicative of the freshness and quality of the place.
The eating options are numerous, they have many things besides ice cream including nachos and regular food to eat. As I had just eaten lunch, I was looking to get some ice cream, and ordered pistachio ice cream. The first bite was a revelation, the ice cream is very creamy and sweet. After taking a few minutes to eat the ice cream, I really wanted to try some more, but was able to avoid the temptation at that moment.
Thinking about the ice cream really wants me to try some more again, with so many options and flavors, I am sure I will revisit the place again.

Love this spot!
We visited on the first warm day of spring, and our visit was an excellent decision!
The place was packed. The parking lot was absolutely full, and the line was a mile long, and it was still one hundred percent worth the visit. There was no seating available, so my family and I camped out in the back of our SUV to enjoy our treats.
I had the mango chamoyada. My husband had ice cream, and my son had a kiwi paleta. All were fantastic! There were so many things on the menu and that I saw other people eating that I am excited to try in the future, including an opened bag of Doritos filled with salsa.
This spot will become a regular stop for me. Go today.

My friend took me here, saying that it’s the best authentic homemade ice cream she’s ever had. And she didn’t lie. It was delicious! It was very creamy with just enough sweetness, and nothing makes coconut ice cream taste good like having bits of coconut in it! Will definitely come back and try this place again!

Wow, I can’t believe this place already has 3 locations and this is the first time i’ve heard of it. This place is near where I grew up so I can definitely understand the hispanic influence in the area, and I love it. This ice cream place off Singleton & Pirkle (I just love saying Pirkle out loud) was a great out of the ordinary satisfaction for the sweet tooth. Maybe I was latin in another life, but I love the sweet and spicy taste. I tried the chamoyada and I got mango and lime. A chamoyada is a sorbet ice cream with chile & lime pepper (chamoya) on top. The chile stuff they put on top is awesome and adds a little kick to the ice cream. I also tried the eggnog ice cream that I got for Chef Justin White and it was great. The service was great. Since I only know a little bit of Spanish, it helped that they spoke English and they even chuckled at my attempt to communicate in Spanish: P. I love the pictures on the wall that help you figure out what you want because it’s kind of overwhelming not knowing what to get. Everything on the menu is in both English and Spanish so that’s awesome too. Oh by the way minimum $ 5 for credit cards and if you come 15 minutes prior to their closing time, it has to be to-​go.

What the heck is a Chamoyada? Who cares, give me one!
La Mejor De Michoacan is a diamond in the sea. Hands down to the best. I mean the BEST homemade Ice cream I’ve ever had. The Ice cream is so rich in flavors that’s it’s scary to think where have I been all my life?
I absolutely love how this place if filled with bright, lively Mexican ice cream flavors & colorful décor. It’s easily missed since it’s tucked away to the side of a small shopping center.
Lively tropical fruit flavors — mango, strawberry, coconut, guava, pineapple, tamarind, lime — all appeal to the Hispanic culinary tradition, and not to mention they’re homemade with real fruit.
The signature Ice Cream here is the CHAMOYADO. What is a Chamoyada? A chamoyada is a dessert made with sorbet ‘ice cream’ and topped with Chamoy, Lime & Chile Powder. In my opinion this is spicy ice cream. I absolutely love this, but I’m not too crazy about it. After a while, it gets tiring.
Homemade Ice Cream: Yum! Yum! Yum! You’ll only appreciate homemade Ice Cream if you’ve never had it your whole life. The flavor is just so real & rich. My favorites are the Mango & Guava. The mango makes me feel like I’m actually eating a real Mango. Enough Said… it’s to die for.
CORN!!! I’ve never had Mexican corn before, so this is something new to me. The corn had crazy flavors like: sweet, spicy, sour, and creamy mayo? Ohhh my my. I’m so in love.
Nachos: perfectly crunchy with a touch of cheese and jalapenos.
Overall, La Mejor De Michoacan is definitely living up to the hype. They definitely have the best homemade Ice Cream & snacks. Be adventurous and try everything on their menu. You won’t regret it.

Have you ever received such a large portion of something in a restaurant that you look at it and think to yourself «there’s no way I could possibly eat all of that» and then proceed to lick the dish clean because it’s so good? That’s basically the situation I found myself in today with the mango chamoyada here.
At $ 4.09, it’s not exactly a cheap ice cream, but it is so worth it. A chamoyada is layers of the smoothest, iceiest, homemade sorbet with real chunks of fruit in it, layered with a sour pickled fruit chamoy sauce, sprinkled with chile powder and crowned with a chewy chamoy candy straw. It is the strangest and most addictive combination of flavors — mostly sweet, but also sour, salty, and spicy. I picked the mango ice cream/​sorbet as my base, but I bet the lime and coconut would be equally delicious.
All of the other icey concoctions at this spot looked delicious, particularly the chocolate dipped frozen bananas and hand-​dipped ice cream bars. Beware, that there is a 50 cent charge to use a debit or credit car if your total is under $ 5. The storefront faces Pirkle Road, but you can enter off of Singleton Road as well.

I’m so bad at myself for discovering this place so late. If you’ve got a sweet tooth & are in the Gwinnett area, this is the place to go. Ice cream, cake, you name it. They make it.
I got a tres leches cake slice that took 3 days to finish. It was so rich & tasty. I’ve heard their corn is amazing, too.
They have some seating inside, so grab & few friends and satisfy your sweet tooth before the weather gets too cold.

Very busy place on the weekends! However, service was great even on a busy day; everyone was very nice and friendly. Great place for delicious homemade ice cream & Mexican snacks. Parking & tables are very limited so we usually take our order togo. Google maps struggled to get us here… so fyi it’s at the corner of Pirkle & Singleton Rd.
~ chamoyada (you can choose coconut, tamarind, guava, strawberry, or mango) — absolutely delicious. Some people don’t like this because how sour the chamoy sauce is. I personally love the combination of coconut ice cream w/​chamoy & eating the chamoy candy straw afterwards
~ vanilla icecream bar dipped in chocolate & covered w/​nuts — delicious!
~ esquites (corn w/​lime, mayo, cheese, & chili powder in a cup) — one of my favorite Mexican snacks! flavor’s great; I’d prefer less water from the boiled corn in my esquites next time

Tired of all the Asian bubble tea and frozen yogurt? Then come here to a Latino dessert joint.
Finally checked out this place after the hype and I can clearly say it’s lived up to it.
First of all, this place is pretty special since there are 4 locations in all and the other 3 are located in Gainesville. Seriously. It’s like that.
I almost missed this place but I knew it’s in a newer small shopping center on the side side as Krogers shopping center but down a little more off Singleton but not close to any landmarks to spot it.
While coming here, my Spanish skills tries to light up since I took 6 years of it, lol. Too bad back I never kept up with it after my Mexican friend got married and moved to Hawaii!
The place is small, cozy, and really clean. We got two chamoyadas — coconut & mango. Both are soooooo good, it’s a perfect combination of sour and sweet! The straw is covered with chili tamarind. There are two scoops of ice cream in the cup that was already drizzled with chamoy, then topped with it as well.
We also got the corn and it was delicious, will have to try in a cup next time for less messiness.
I cannot to go back and try more items.

apparently, foodporn pics of this beloved snack — «chamoyada» has been the latest craze. and now, I can finally say that it lives up to its’ hype.
the store’s name ends with a 3 to represent the store number. it is the 3^rd location in all of georgia. there are 4 locations total — 3 in gainesville and 1 in atlanta (norcross, to be specific). «la mejor de michoacan» translates to «the best of michoacan». the name is a bit general, but they are an ice cream shop. ice cream choices range from bars (fruit or milk based) to sundaes. and to the famous chamoyadas.
I haven’t had the chance to try their other cold treats other than the chamoyada, but from what I observed, everyone either orders a sundae or a chamoyada.
a chamoyada is priced at $ 3.99 a cup. there are 7 flavors to choose from:
— mango
— limon (lime)
— coco (coconut)
— guayaba (guava)
— fresa (strawberry)
— pina (pineapple)
— tamarindo (tamarind)
*quick fyi: the prefix «chamoy» refers to a mexican sauce/​condiment that’s made from pickled fruits. they can range from sweet to sour, but they’re typically sour majority of the times.
me & the bf opted for the mango AND guava flavor. looks were no way deceiving. this semi-​sweet treat tastes as good as it looks. the ice cream’s texture is very smooth; almost comparible to a very fine, churned icee (or even sorbet). it also taste as if it’s dairy-​free (milk free). both the mango and the guava were just the right amount of sweetness. then, the chamoy (sauce) gave a second balance to the treat by giving our tastebuds the sour palette. then, to top it off, lucas & chili powder was sprinkled on top of the chamoy to give a 3^rd balance of flavor — spicy.
sweet, sour, and spicy = a party in your mouth
the chamoyada is very comparable to a «vero mango» candy. you know, that one mexican candy that was shaped like a mango. and covered in lucas? ahhh. those were the days.
quick notes:
— all their ice creams are homemade w/​real fruit… impressive :]
— there are dried chunks of fruits in the ice cream (yay for texture)
— the chamoy sauce is super sour, so be ready to get your squinty, sour face on
— the ‘guava’ flavor is made with the pink guava. it also has seeds, so chew carefully
— every chamoyada is served with a straw that’s covered with tamarind paste and lucas
— $ 5.00 credit card minimum

I’ve been wanting to try this place out and finally got around to doing so today. I met up with a gf here after work today around 6p. There were quite a few tables filled when we arrived and it gradually got busier as time went by. I came here mainly for the mango and guava chamoyada but also saw that they offered mexican corn which is a favorite of mine so of course I had to try that too!
The mexican corn is served two ways here. You can either get it on the cob or in a cup. I’ve never had it in a cup so I stuck with my usual corn on the cob. The corn was ok, I’ve had better. The chamoyada was interesting. I liked the flavor of the guava better than the mango but I didn’t like all the seeds in the guava. The spices were a little overwhelming in the beginning but after awhile it all kinda came together. The overall dessert was quite refreshing and filling. I liked it but didn’t love it. The corn is $ 1.85 and the chamoyada is $ 3.99. They do take credit cards, but there is a $ 5 minimum.

NOMS for Mexicana dessert/​street food! They have a variety of different types of snacks/​appetizers here as well as drinks. Enjoy! The menu is pretty lengthy.
Delicious Chamoyada! They have an array of different flavors.
Mango would have to be my favorite. The Guava is tasty, but it’s also seedy (no thanks!).
I wanted to try the corn on a cob, but they were out until another hr so I went with
regular corn that’s shaved off… it wasn’t the same because it was so watery. So I guess I’ll have to make another trip back to try the corn on a cob.
***$ 5 minimum for credit card use or you’ll have a 0.50 charge.***
Parking is in a private plaza lot, but it’s small and limited.

This place is a true gem. I am beyond thankful for the friends that led me here. It is relatively hidden in a small shopping plaza, and it is a must try! I LOVE fruits with the chili powder that is more predominant to the Latin countries, and I love mangos! So, when I heard about this place that makes homemade mango ice cream with the chili powder, I was instantly sold. A few of my friends have already made stops here on the way to the shop, and last night, was our turn. BF and I stopped by to pick up 5 mango chamoyadas, and it being my first time, was not a disappointment. The mango chamoyadas had the right amount of sweetness, chili powder, and chunks of mango that would satisfy any mango/​ice cream lover. BF plans to try their Guava chamoyadas next time. For $ 3.99, it is a true steal.
This place will be a regular spot of us!
They tend to get VERY busy, so plan to wait in line at times. Despite the wait, it is BEYOND worth it! :D

Glad I saw so many comments and pictures of items from this place on social media, otherwise I would not have known of it’s existence!
They have so many choices here, all homemade, from the ice cream to the popsicles. I went for the ever famous chili/​ice cream combo that like Tiffany N. said, completely reminded of those Vero Mango lollipops or whatever they were called! I got two flavors in mine — guava and mango. The guava still had the seeds in it… meh. Prefer the mango — it goes well with the tamarind sauce and Tajin seasoning (chili/​salt/​sugar). Anyone remember Lucas seasoning and the obsession we all used to have back in grade school? The concoction comes with a straw that has tamarind with chili caked on there — wasn’t too sure what to do with it.
Overall great mix of flavors and I will definitely be back when I’m back in town to try out some of the other offerings and flavors!

Thankful for friends that has a love to eat for they found and recommended this little gem to me, knowing that I love the Hispanic chili mango lollipop. It is located in a small plaza and the shop itself is small with maybe the counter one side and maybe 9 tables with chairs. It is very clean and spotless. My bf and I arrive after dinner and there was line but not too long.
They have their menus plaster on the wall but my eyes were combing to find the ice cream called chamoy (picture uploaded). They have both water base ice cream (like a Popsicle) and milk base. The ice cream was like a sundae except without the fudge, whip cream, etc. It was their version with sour, salty, and spicy seasoning. The red liquid was probably a tamarind base syrup with chili seasoning. You had a choice of pineapple, lime, coconut, and other flavors which I can’t remember which they will scoop in a plastic up, drizzle it with the red liquid and top it with the chili seasoning. It had the seasons of life, salty, sweet, sour, and spicy (IMO). They also garnish it with a stick that had the tamarind with chili. All this for $ 3.99, with tax was $ 4.27.
They are super nice and friendly… took time out to explain the different items on their menu. They do have other things other than ice cream, including bakery goods and this item called dorilicos which is a bag of Doritos that they garnish with pork skin, cucumbers, tomato sauce, hot sauce, and a few items, which look delicious!
I definitely can’t wait to go back to try everything…
