La Michoacana Premium

"There are a few La Michoacanas in Chicago, but the location we really like is in Pilsen. It has a drive-thru, the staff is friendly, and they have excellent paletas and regular ice cream. The treats here are very sweet, and ideal for when you want a dessert that tastes like dessert because not everyone wants their treats to taste like goat cheese or earl grey tea. Our favorite is the cajeta ice cream, which tastes like frozen condensed milk in the best way, and the rice pudding cream paleta, which is milky and sweet with little bits of rice in it that we really enjoy." - adrian kane, veda kilaru

"For a seemingly endless array of options, Pilsen’s Mexican creamery can’t be beat. Ice creams run the gamut from cucumber to Mexican Twinkie while the vibrant paleta selection is even more eclectic, boasting dozens and dozens of flavors. It can be an overwhelming experience but don’t fret; just jump right in and then come back (again and again) to try more things." - Naomi Waxman, Eater Staff

"La Michoacana is a summer staple. There are plenty of paletas to choose from, whether it’s lime and strawberry or a creamy blackberry. Plus, a bright pink exterior makes this a perfect place to get a gorgeous Instagram." - Eater Staff

"Colorful paletas lining the freezers are the eye-catching attraction at this Mexican dessert shop in Pilsen. However, the goodies don’t end there. In addition to frozen popsicles and ice cream, La Michoacana Premium offers a selection of aguas frescas — fresh fruit waters — as well as mangonada, a drink made with mango, shaved ice, chili powder, and chamoy sauce. There are multiple locations across the city including Hermosa." - Jeffy Mai

"There are a few La Michoacanas in Chicago, and the one we really like is in Pilsen. It has a drive-thru, the people are friendly, and they have great paletas and scoops of ice cream. The treats here are very sweet, perfect for when you want a dessert that tastes like dessert, because not everyone wants an abundance of goat cheese or matcha. Our favorite is the cajeta ice cream, which tastes like frozen condensed milk in the best way, and the rice pudding cream paleta, which is milky and sweet with little bits of rice in it that we really like." - Adrian Kane
