Over 50 paleta varieties, mangoneadas, and traditional Mexican desserts
"Open since 1979, Los Alpes in Huntington Park is a neighborhood institution that serves paletas, fruit bars, milkshakes, ice cream, and the one, the only: mangoneada. It almost looks like a science fair project: huge scoops of mango sorbet are covered in chamoy, lemon, and red-hot chile salt, which runs down the sides like lava on a paper-mache volcano. This gorgeous contrasting sweet and tart flavors are exactly what we want whenever temperatures hit triple digits and standing in front of the fridge with the door ajar isn’t going to cut it." - garrett snyder, arden shore, sylvio martins

"For the largest, most drool-inducing selection of paletas in town, head to Los Alpes Ice Cream Parlor in Huntington Park. Fernando Flores, along with his wife, Margarita, opened the shop in 1979 and make over 50 varieties of paletas de aguas (water-and-juice-based pops) and paletas de crema (milk- or cream-based pops). The paletas de aguas, which come in flavors like tamarind (tamarindo), hibiscus (jamaica), and alfalfa, are the most refreshing bunch, while the paletas de crema are a touch richer with flavors like arroz (rice), Mexican eggnog (rompope), and vanilla. —Cathy Chaplin" - Eater Staff
