La Paletera

Sweet, juicy and delicious everything! The cashier was super nice too. The restaurant was refreshing too. Everything was priced good too. It definitely had a homey feel, and felt very authentic.

The Spot: Its got that "old market" feel, i.e., dated feel and look. But, its clean and they have a good selection of treats. Seating: Very small, only sits about (my guess) 12-16 people. Best to order and go. Parking: Small. Space for about 13 cars, but there a property next door that I'm sure you can sneak in for a quick to-go order. Service: What can I say, good and welcoming service seems to be a dying business practice. I give it a 5, just because of the "dryness." In other words, they aren't rude (maybe not intentionally), they just don't smile or make small gestures of kind service (e.g., Welcome, Thanks for stopping in, or Hello). What we had: DELISH! A Mangonada and Elote en Baso. Let's just say, we were in Corpus for three months and we stopped in SEVERAL times for these treats while we were there. As for anything else they carry, all I can say is, the place always had customers ordering all sorts of goodies that struck my interest. Unfortunately, I'm a creature of habit and stuck to my Manoganada and Elote en Baso. :-D

Just your average paletera but with higher prices. They had fruit cups, drinks, ice cream, aguas frescas and candies. Paletas weren't even listed on the menu, but we asked and they led us behind the counter to a freezer case full of different selections. You wouldn't even know they are there. Weird. I guess they want you to go for the more expensive items. Paletas were only $1.50. They had good lemonade also. I'd go back if in the area. Not worth a special trip.

Got a copa de todo and it was so good!! Definitely had a better experience this time than last! Don't get the Frescas con creama because they don't put any strawberries in it! But the fruit cup was awesome!!! Just sucks that they changed the size.... what use to be a large is now considered an extra large! But other than that is was good!

They have all of the delicious Hispanic treats you grew up with. My favorite place to go when I'm feeling nostalgic or really craving a mango ice cream bar.

It's awesome to get traditional corn all the way and great ice cream for my grand babies

Freshest fruit bowl I've ever had! Ordered in the morning for 3 pm and it was ready/waiting when I went by. Still the best for fresh fruit cups & fruit bars! Kostoryz location is the best!

To start off I ordered a mangonada and then I just got mango pieces in a cup. The lady didn't wanna make it seem that it was her fault, but regardless they gave me a smoothie and it was great Then my friend when she asked for an exchange of the mango pieces she ordered a manzana preparada and the same lady supposedly said she forgot about it but the apple was great

dont go here if you are white. you'll get stared at by everyone in the establishment, including the customers, no matter how respectable/normal you are in appearance and demeanor. the person i dealt with behind the counter seemed to intentionally use the language barrier to screw up my order although i was very clear and polite about what i wanted.i shouldn't have to feel that way when i go anywhere in this country. its enough to make you want to ask people what they are looking at, in retrospect i am concerned about having let my son eat the food here. we humbly ordered a fruit cup and i was given something else in a tray that was mostly pineapples and bananas and grapes and apples, in spite of the sign on the wall stating that kiwi, coconut, cherries, and watermelon were also supposed to be mixed into the actual dish i received.for $20 i can get enough fruit to make 10 fruit cups full of the ingredients that my kid actually likes, so next time i will put my $8 towards that instead.

went to get a pickledilly here and it was amazing loved it !! there was a situation there that was happening but the staff handled it pretty well. one rude customer though
