"Walk into any of Maya’s Snack Bar’s three locations (Bushwick, East Williamsburg, and Jackson Heights), and you’ll feel Willy Wonka magic in the rainbow walls and carefully constructed piña loca and tostilocos. Truthfully, we can’t tell you to go to this whimsical Mexican snack shop and only get a paleta, but do try at least one. We’re partial to the watermelon because it adorably emulates the fruit with a little green and white ice trim on the bottom. But the oreo is great too, with two whole oreos lodged in a milky paleta with flecks of chocolate. Anything you get here will look and taste like the best kiddie birthday party you’ve ever been to.

"Sure, Maya’s Snack Bar is full of tactless children who might point out that Niagara Falls now flows from under your arms, but it also has plenty of ice and fruit-based treats to cool you down. We like the watermelon paleta because it’s refreshingly fruity and super cute (with green and white ice on the bottom to emulate the fruit), but the Oreo is a must, too. Two whole Oreos are lodged in a milky popsicle with flecks of chocolate making a perfect frozen candy bar. " - Neha Talreja
"Walk into any of Maya’s Snack Bar’s three locations, and you’ll feel a touch of Willy Wonka magic in the brightly colored walls and carefully constructed pina locas and tostilocos. Truthfully, we can’t tell you to go to this whimsical Mexican snack shop and only get a paleta, but they’re pretty damn good and should be included in every order. We always get the watermelon one because it’s super cute (with a little green and white ice on the bottom to emulate the fruit) and refreshingly fruity, but the oreo is a must, too. Two whole oreos are lodged in a milky paleta with flecks of chocolate, making a perfect frozen candy bar to cool you down. Really, anything you get here will look and taste like the best kiddie birthday party you’ve ever been to. For the ultimate cool-me-off-please combination, start with the crunchy cucumber snack pepinos locos, eat an oreo paleta in the shop, and grab a watermelon ice pop for the road." - Neha Talreja
