Real fruit.
Real craft.
Real taste.

For over three decades we've been making paletas and neveros the old way — by hand, in small batches, with fruit picked at its peak and recipes passed down through generations of Michoacán.

Our Story

A tradition of
real flavor

La Michoacana wasn't born in a test kitchen. It was born from a simple belief: that the best frozen treats don't need shortcuts, artificial colors, or long ingredient lists.

Our recipes come straight from Michoacán — the heartland of Mexican paletas — where fruit is treated with respect and every batch is made by hand. When you bite into one of our paletas, you're tasting something that hasn't changed in generations.

Today, we bring that same devotion to every flavor we make here in Hollister. From our creamy tamarindo to our bright strawberry, from our rich chocolate to our seasonal specials — every spoonful is crafted the way it should be.

Made with Love Every single batch

The Craft

We don't cut corners.
We cut fruit.

Every paleta and every scoop goes through the same careful process — from sourcing the ripest fruit to hand-pouring each mold. There's no machine that can replicate the attention we give to every batch.

01

Source the Best

We select only the ripest, freshest fruit from local suppliers. If it's not perfect for eating raw, it's not good enough for our paletas.

02

Make by Hand

Every batch is prepared by hand in small quantities. No industrial mixers, no shortcuts — just careful preparation the traditional way.

03

Freeze & Serve Fresh

We freeze in small batches so everything is at its peak when you buy it. Freshness isn't a goal — it's the standard.

"The best paletas are the ones you can taste the real fruit in."
