"Mateo’s paleta case is like Meryl Streep’s IMDb page - if you can’t find something you like, the problem is probably you. Known for their excellent Oaxacan-style desserts, this small paleta shop is stocked with over 30 flavors, including fresa (strawberry), sandia (watermelon), and leche quemada - a creamy, smoked milk concoction that tastes exactly like someone kippered a gallon of dairy over an open flame. But if you’re searching for ultimate popsicle perfection, order the mango paleta - sweet, juicy, and made with zero artificial flavoring, this tropical pop is the perfect salve for a super-hot day, or whenever you remember the time your bank called you a “severe financial risk.”" - kat hong
