      Stumbled into this Holy Paleta place after walking around little Italy with a group of family and friends.

      They had so much paleta flavors and many toppings you can choose from.

      I ordered a strawberry paleta dipped in chocolate, covered with nuts, cinnamon toasted and topped with chocolate drizzle. So tasty! 10 out of 10! Ingredients are fresh.

      A bit pricey but it was so worth it!

      Staff were accommodating, helpful and friendly.

      The shop is super clean with modern beautiful decor. Plenty of tables and seats for you to enjoy your dessert.

      Now this is what i'm talking about, Holy Paleta understood the assignment when it comes to delivering Paletas for all tastes..

      Not only do some of these flavors take me back to my childhood days, but the ingredients are quality and I love the variety across the board.

      I highly recommend getting a 12 pack to-go and get both sweet and savory .. The strawberry cheesecake, mazapan, keylime, chamango, strawberry basil, sandia takin were my favorites!!

      Cute ice cream shop. Decided to stop here for a sweet treat with my cousins from out of town. The aesthetic is clean and tropical. They have variety of flavors and topping for ice bars!

      Holy Paleta is one of my favorite dessert spots, especially during the summer. The service is just "ok". I wish they gave more guidance and had more mini pop options, but they still get 5 whole stars because the pops speak for themselves. The taste is out of this world. I've tried at least a dozen kinds between all my visits and have not gone wrong yet. Tonight I tried the yogurt pop for the first time and even that was a hit (and I'm pretty picky)! The ambiance is cute with little neon signs. My only other wish would be for them to have better outdoor seating. Regardless, I love it here and it's a great spot to take out of town guests.

      Yogurt and fruit pop with dark chocolate, white chocolate drizzle and pistachios.

      Interesting concept for frozen fruit juice, ice cream and toppings. I like the concept but location is not well managed and consequently I was disappointed being their customer.
      Menu offered is old and outdated. Tables are dirty and one of them is broken, and at $7.5 for basic guava pop sickle I feel their prices are pushing premium ice cream territory - which this is clearly not.

      Unfortunately I was not impressed with this place. The menu's were not updated (from what the staff told us), one staff member didn't know how to explain their food product and the place was pretty dirty!
      I can let something's pass but an empty dirty restaurant I can't! The two staff members I saw went and stayed in the back after I ordered... I was so grossed out by the dirt around me I couldn't even finish my overly sweet popsicle.

      Whenever I have family in town they always beg me to bring them back here.

      Parking is horrible as expected in this part of town.

      This place always overwhelms me with so many awesome choices. Everything can get something they love no matter their food preference or dietary restrictions.

      For sure will be back!

      The paleta had a layer of old(?) ice cream over it from sitting in the refrigerated display. Tasted pretty bad and once you get past that the flavor of the ice cream itself was not very strong. I got a mamey paleta and was not impressed. Just buy the packaged ones from street vendors.

      Sooooo delicious and the staff are incredibly nice and helpful!
      Everything looked amazing. After much deliberation and assistance, I ended up getting the cucumber pop with chamoy and tajin drizzled on. The texture was so soft and chewable without melting! Loved the refreshing nature of the cucumbers mixed with the spice! Cute seating inside and paid street parking outside.
