The first time that I tried this was at a Yelp Elite event, and after trying some of their signature items (ice cream and also a Chamoyada), I knew that I was destined to come back. Looking at some of these reviews, I have spotted that the less than 5 star ratings comes from people who feel like the flavor/texture is not what they expected, and this is slightly confusing to me. I love all sorts of ice creams, and know that "cream" is in the name, but as these are not "traditional American" ice cream flavors and methods, I am not sure why there is an expectation that they taste and feel the same.
I love tropical fruit, and as someone who has had many a poor knock off of SE Asian fruits (mangosteen, soursop, etc.), I think Ome Calli does these flavors justice with their wide variety. This time, I got a two scoop of mango and chamoy, and we also ordered a couple of paletas as well (mangosteen and passionfruit). I thought all of these tasted so good. The sweet mango (with some real mango bits in it) with the spicy chamoy was a great mix of flavors, and the paletas themselves had very bright notes of mangosteen and passionfruit. The ice cream scoops are always a very generous size, and I am hard-pressed to find a spot that sells two scoops for how much they provide (I believe one "large" scoop at 50 licks was still more than the cost of the two gargantuan scoops they provided us here).
I think this is a great place to get ice cream and paletas of many different flavors, and overall, for the price, you just can't beat it!
