Used their paleta cart rental service for a Babyshower and the cart was a hit! Super easy communication and reservation! All 10 flavors I ordered were delicious and will definitely be returning here for future events!

Amazing paleta flavors! We absolutely love having paletas in our home fridge for the summer and this place is our go to. They're made with fresh fruit and flavors. The service is great too, they gave me some dry ice to get home.

A Florence Firestone staple. This place has some of the best natural flavors of both water and milk base. All the flavors I have tried have been very creamy and splendid. The fresas con crema are also good I just wish they had a little bit more granola but overall very good fruit and service. I can't wait to be back and try more of the ice cream flavors. I recommend the rompope which is one of my favorites, next time I go I want to try the fresas con crema nieve.

I've been coming here since I was little. They have really good palette! Today I got regular ice cream, they serve thrifty ice cream. One scoop is $1.50, double $2.00, triple $3.00, and if you want a waffle cone, they charge an extra $1.25. The reason why I gave it 4 stars is because they always take forever to serve.

Bad customer service. At 8:10 we were already being kicked out of the location when they close at 8:30. Also, the lime ice cream tasted very artificial and sour. We addressed it to the younger server and she said that's how it was so we asked if we can exchange it because we had never been there and didn't expect it to taste like that. The younger woman rudely exchanged the ice cream and kept telling us they were about to close when there were other people in the place not even being addressed.
Muy mal servicio al cliente. Una señora joven fue grocera y nos digo que iba a cerrar lla cuando era las 8:10 y cierran a las 8:30.Helpful 1Thanks 1Love this 0Oh no 0 - Giuliano C.Huntington Park, Los Angeles, CA2093Apr 8, 2020
I've been coming to this location since I've been a kid and it never disappoints! Great location, parking in the back and 100% all natural Fruit Paletas. Also like going to their location in East LA!

I was born and raised on Holmes Ave and since the 90's have been coming here. Sometimes when I make the drive from BG to here It's a must to get a paleta and boys burgers next door. Luckily the Paraiso paletero passes by my house on the daily. Takes me back to my elementary school days

I love raspados and nieves (homemade style ice cream) and El Paraiso is my favorite spot for both! They have great prices and are very generous with their servings, plus they have great service. I love this place!
Favorite nieve flavors:
Mango
Fresa de agua (strawberry)
Mamey (best mamey ice cream I've ever had!)
Nuez (pecan)
Prices start at $1.50 for a two scoop cup and you can choose different flavors for each scoop.
Favorite raspado flavors:
Nuez
Coco
Piña
Chamango or Champiña (Mango or pineapple flavored raspado with slices of fruit topped with chamoy)
I usually ask for a chamango/ champiña combo. Totally worth the $3.75!Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 0
