La Michoacana: New Ice Cream Shop In Town

Ritas used to be one of our favorite ice cream shops, but sadly they are gone.  Finally, a new ice cream shop is opening right around the corner from us.  It's called La Michoacana.  I was at one of their LA locations a while ago and was blown away.  They have about 100 flavors of ice cream and sorbet, paletas and lots of other goodies.  Here's a little about La Michoacana.

The Lua family started the company in Mexico about 60 years ago. They originated in Tocumbo,  in the state of Michoacan. They made milk based pops and water based pops with ingredients like mango, cucumber, lime juice and chili powder.  Recently they decided to open up shop in the US, starting in the Inland Empire.  Now they're in San Diego.  I know of two locations:  One in San Marcos on San Marcos Blvd, where I just stopped for a scoop of pineapple coconut, loaded with coconut, and strawberries and cream, with big chunks of fresh strawberries.  The other location is in Vista, on Melrose and Shadowridge.

When I lived in LA I saw the little ice cream carts on street  corners everywhere, but never tried them.  Now they have brick and mortar stores and sell the fruit paletas plus delicious ice cream.  Next time you're in the mood for ice cream or a frozen fruit bar, try La Michoacana.  You won't be disappointed.
