"This shop has a very wide variety of snacks and desserts, but you really have to know what to get, because the quality varies wildly from item to item. Parking: Predictably, difficult due to the area. Options are street parking or to just do a bit more walking. Service: Folks were nice, came out to greet us immediately even though it was a bit slower. In addition to pre made paletas, the store has a counter filled with more ice cream and tons of snacks on shelves. The shop itself is clean and well maintained, but a little hot since there seemed to be no AC. Food: We got a roll of tamarindo candy, a large mangoniada, elote in a cup, a raspberry cheesecake paleta, and an order of one of my favorite childhood snacks: duritos, topped with hot sauce and lime. The mangoniada was probably my favorite out of the snacks we got: fresh and tangy, but a big minus for the tamarindo candy bites since some were weirdly chewy and a little stale tasting. The paletas are the thing to get here although the pre made stock seemed fairly low, and the arrangement in the freezer that they're kept in was kind of messy, so it was a little hard to tell what flavor was which. I do not recommend the elote in a cup corn was chewy and not sweet, so probably canned and the cotija on top was not good. There was mayo, and tajin, but it wasn't enough the result was just a gelatinous, chewy cup of corn that is nothing like what elote should taste like. Lastly, the duritos I was really, really looking forward to this, but the moment the woman who made it handed it to me, I noticed that there was just a massive slide of hot sauce down one side of the bag. There was so much that it was starting to pool at the bottom, already soaking half of the duros into nothingness. If you haven't had these before, they're basically puffed wheat snacks in a wheel shape so once they hit moisture, they tend to deflate quite a bit. This is with proper preparation, with a thin stripe of hot sauce down each side of the bag with the lime to shake up and lightly coat the duros with. But she had prepared the duritos with so much hot sauce that two minutes in, with me eating as many duros as I could that hadn't fallen apart yet, the rest had just become a soggy, uneatable mess. This is what it looked like once I got home I was pretty much only able to eat about 10 intact chips before it just collapsed into a bunch of wet wheaty noodles. The bag was leaking hot sauce by the time I got home, so I just threw it away and chalked it up to a loss. There are better places to get paletas in SD I don't think we'll be going out of our way to come here again."
