La Michoacana San Miguel

I was so stoked to find a Rancho San Miguel Market in Merced, and even more stoked to see that they had a stand-alone antojitos shop in the parking lot.Lately, I've been craving pineapple: pineapple juice, pineapple tea, pineapple shakes-- like, no matter how much pineapple I drink, I just can't get enough. So, that's what I was in search of.I walked straight to the aguas frescas (for any other gringos who may not know, aguas frescas are fresh fruit juices, and they're life-changingly delicious). "Do you have pineapple?"I didn't see any pineapple, but the server said, "Yes, we have pineapple cucumber spinach, do you want to try it?" He was basically already pouring me a sample, so I couldn't say no.I tried it, and it was actually really delicious, but it reminded me too much of the spinach smoothies I used to make at 'home.' I really wanted something more like a light juicy tea, so I ordered a jamaica."What are aguas locas?" He looked like he was trying not to laugh at me (but in a cute way) as he explained that aguas locas are aguas frescas with added fresh fruit, chamoy candies, chamoy straw, and chamoy/tajin rim.Ordering a jamaica loca may not have been the wisest choice-- it probably would have been better with any other flavor of agua fresca. It was a little weird, but I still loved it, because all of the ingredients were so fresh and delicious.I've ordered several mangonadas over the summer, all over NorCal (and even Nevada). Oftentimes, the ice, chamoy, or mango puree can be less than fresh, but this was not the case.This tasted like the freshest jamaica I've ever had. The ice tasted like fresh, clean ice (the way that all ice should taste, but, unfortunately, not everyone cleans and maintains their machines appropriately).Even though I wouldn't recommend copying my exact order, I would definitely recommend checking this place out. I would definitely stop by again next time I'm in Merced.

Awesome delicious drinks and crepes made with fresh fruit are to die for! Highly recommend this place! Friendly staff and a great location. Service is phenomenal.

I recommend it delicious juices my favorite green juice yummy and the service of the girls super ! Also they have many flavors of ice cream , crepes , and corn and chepos .

I moved here a few months ago and cannot tell you how happy I was to not only find a great ice cream spot but one that sells my fav flavor:bubblegum!

Excellent, the best Rice pudding.The owner is very polite to all customers.I visit La michoacana twice a week.

Juan and his family/employees are such a joy to be with. They serve phenomenal ice cream and so much more! If you're not choosing La Michoacána San Miguel for your treat fixes, you're simply missing out on one of our cities greatest businesses.

This is the place to stop by to satisfy your cravings! Their Uchepos are full of flavor and their corn is delicious, not to mention they aren't stingy with their toppings nor overpriced like most places in Merced. Customer service was also excellent. Will definitely be coming back again! :)

It was my first time here - we drove from the Bay area to pick up a new pet. We were recommended to go for bomb agua frescas by a taco truck a few doors down in the same parking lot. We came when they had just closed and the young lady made sure we were still attended to. They have many flavors and patiently helped us/offered for us to try, let me us the bathroom after the long drive, and offered us paletas to try while waiting which were fresh and creamy coconut strawberry flavored. I got a Strawberry/limon combo mixed that was recommended and my hubby got strawberry water. Our son got horchata and fresa con crema - all delicious. We will be back for the yummy drinks and to try more once back in the area.
