Even though there are those fruit flavors, the consistency of the ice cream didn't seem as smooth as US. (Or at least those "super premium" US types). Even tho I'm adventurous, I'm not planning to try much more Mexican ice creams, in spite of a gazillion flavors.

There are a couple of places in San Antonio that serves mexican fruitbars,cups of fruit,etc.One is I think on West Avenue,and the other over by Walzem. You can buy around here mexican icecream from Mexico at H.E.B.and Walmart.it is commerically made in plants just like here in the US. It isn't bad,has a lot of fruit in it.Around here,H.E.B. sells it's own brand of Mango Icecream,and Dreyer's also is selling here Mango Icecream,limited edition.
I need to go to H.E.B. for a few things,so I think I might buy a quart of the mango to try it.They have their own brand of fruit bars,which are very good.
For those not from Texas H.E.B. is even listed in Wicklepedia on the web,or just google H.E.B.
Yes. the mexican ice cream,helados and the fruit bars,paletas are different becuase they use not only flavours like lime and strawberry but tamarind and guava and other tropical fruits.

They had some at the San Antonio Botanical Gardens,Garden Jazz Party,along with free sandwiches,etc.they had a jazz band and cds you could buy as well as gardening books.

Interesting....please ask if they are actually affiliated with the chain from Mexico! ((or is it some generic name?)

Yep, the flavors are so bright that they make an outstanding blended drink.

Does that mean they throw them in a blender & add alcohol? What a good idea!

I think I'll go back and get some ices.

Well, I went to a Mexican ice cream shop today in Santa Fe. First thing, no one spoke English, so I am only guessing at what I ordered.
We got 2 scoops, one caramel, the other cappucinno. The caramel was boring, the cappucinno was terrrific! It has swirls of either coffee or chocolate that was slightly hardened in a coffee base. Yum!

We also got 2 pops: one vanilla covered in chocolate and coconut. It was Ok but thin and icy, more like ice milk than ice cream. The other was wierd: the clerk said is was "rice" (arroz, really) and it looked like little chocolate chips. But it tasted like prunes! Vanilla ice cream with rice grains and prunes???? I hated it, but my teenage daughter love it.

So my grade is B- .

Well,maybe a simpler version is:

1. Has anyone had Mexican ice cream, and you think has mre intense flavors than US?

2. Is anyone familiar with Mexican ice cream chains moving into US?

A recent article in the Santa Fe newspaper signing the praises of Mexican ice cream claimed that the two establishements/brands listed above are known "all over Mexico" as offering the best i.c.

Also, that La Michoacana has been opening branches in SoCal.

It also says that Mex i.c. has great flavors,better than US..

Does anyone know about this???
