La Michoacana has become a staple in Riverside for its vibrant array of Mexican ice cream and paletas. Recommended by Eater LA and highlighted by The Press-Enterprise, this family-owned shop is famous for its fresh, handmade flavors such as mango chile, horchata, and creamy avocado. Beyond classic scoops, you’ll find inventive combinations and a bustling atmosphere that celebrates the city’s multicultural roots. The shop’s commitment to crafting traditional treats with real fruit and natural ingredients makes it a favorite among locals and visitors seeking genuine taste and welcoming service.
Larger than most of the other la Michoacána shops in the inland empire. The staff are real quick to take orders and get your snacks. When we came in there was about six people ahead of us and our wait time was under five minutes.
Location was clean, staff was friendly, parking was a little cramped but we were able to find parking easy enough.

The ice cream and the products are amazing, staff is nice and works very hard. The only bad thing about this place is the management and ownership for being severely under staffed during peak night business hours. 45 min wait.

Went to this location for the first time and I must say the hot Cheetos esquites were really good. I also got fresas con crema and as you can tell from the photo they were not stingy with the strawberries or crema, the awesome employee filled my 16 oz cup to the very top into the lid adding even more! Definitely recommend this location.

Tostilocos are really good!! However raspado was half juice when we paid! How did it melt so fast?? I would hope for $9 medium it wouldn’t be a syrup juice, hurt my stomach first sip.

Waited 20 minutes to be helped with one other customer in line. There was a blonde young lady with terrible customer service who took five minutes to pour two waters. A second employee came out of the back and completely ignored guests.

Google says they open at 10am on Saturday but we were there at 10:02 and the place was locked up still.
We went across the street to ampm and got ice cream there and when we came out from buying ice cream, the open sign was on across the street at La Michoacana. Bummer!
