La Michoacana

"GET THAT CORN OUTTA MY FACE!!"-Nacho to Eskeleto in Nacho Libre movie. I simply cannot eat corn on a cob without thinking of that movie scene. Folks, LA MICHOACANA is also the absolute best ice cream in Richmond for many reasons, some which I'll mention. Did you know they make their own? All the wonderful myriad of flavors of ice cream and fro-yo are all homemade. While I couldn't have possibly tasted them all, the ones I've tried are incredible. Their paletas or pops are also delicious. I LOVE the coconut one, and one day live on the edge and try their tres leches or the one with the 2 oreos embedded within. I chose the corn on this day because I recently turned on a co-worker to their ice cream and he raved about the corn or "elote." You DO NOT have to speak Spanish as one reviewer stated with 1-star. Had they been patient, used google translate, made an effort, (as one oftentimes has to when travelling abroad), they would have been well rewarded. Go here for the amazing ice cream, paletas, and venture in to the savory land of their delicious street elote.

I got this cute little mangonada cup from Emart in the freezer section next to the check out. I was so excited to see it. Got home. Cracked it open. Made it halfway through and found this weird plastic thing stuck down in it. Totally bummed me out. Do better.

Ok.. growing up in soCal in the 80's there's nothing better than Mexican Paletas especially the authentic flavors tamarind, mango, lime etc. Now living in The DMV i got a hold of a descent Paletas. THE mindblower?? $3.00 for a street cicle? I bought these for .17 cents each whole sale in LA selling them at county fairs in cali. As good as they were i guarantee I won't be buying these again for $3.00 freaking dollars each bar!!! Frickin outshine mango Tajín Is $4.99 a box 6 count at giant, Harris teeter, target etc. Seriously retiring on street popsicle??

Ummm I'd like to apologize in advance, but this is just my opinion; I ordered the mango and strawberry ice cream and I'm not impressed at all. Idk if it's just a cultural thing, but this is not the type of ice cream I'm used to. The mango tasted like it was blended then froze it without adding any cream to it. Also, the strawberry was alright, but they could've added more of the fruit to it to add that tangy taste. Maybe their other flavors are good like the coffee, cookies n ,cream, and pistachios. Maybe I just ordered the wrong flavor. They are clean and they understood some English. Not sure if I'm coming back. We all have a definition of what is "good."

Perfect ice cream in unused flavors like Soursop, Key lime pie, and tres leches; all of which were amazing. Flavors were fresh and natural. The ice cream was creamy and not overly sweet. No wonder the place was packed at 9:30pm! Don't be intimidated if you don't speak Spanish, it wasn't a problem. Price was reasonable too. Highly recommended.

What a wonderful little ice cream shop. Lots of variety and flavors to choose from. The sherbet is quite good. I had mango and lime. They can be a little pricy - depends on what you select. I've been here twice so far and I will be back.

Holy crap, I'm eating queso ice cream. I had NO idea this is even a thing but it's strangely amazing. What's better is that below the queso ice cream is a layer of key lime pie. I don't ever want normal ice creams again. I bet you're wondering what queso ice cream tastes like. To me, it kind of tasted like cottage cheese but creamier. I don't know, you'll have to try it. The key lime was very flavorful with not graham crackers per say but almost a softer texture. It was very creamy. My son got cookies and cream. His had hints of cinnamon and maybe nutmeg? It was a very layered flavor and unlike anything I've had before. There were so many flavors, it was hard to choose one (or two!). They had tres leches, gummy bear, mango, all kinds of flavors. Plus they had paletas (popsicles) that looked amazing too. When I get home I'm going to Yelp Mexican ice cream. For real.

i'm only visiting Virginia and i was craving something spicy (as always) but i was also craving some fresh fruit.... i came across this place that my girlfriend told me about and im glad she brought me here. she got some ice cream and i got this spicy fruit drink it was amazing !
