What creations did our group make during our visit?
What’s our review? Will we make a return visit?
We will definitely be returning! This place is a huge hit. Personally, I love cream-based traditional ice cream, but if my family doesn’t – then we need a place where we can all get something, and Monarca Paletas is it! Traditional fruit-based paletas are probably their strong suit and they are wonderful, as they are made with real fruit and lots of it. You have a ton of options to mix and match with – but to be honest, I think the best ones we tasted were the simple mixes. For example, the strawberry paleta is so good by itself, it really needs nothing more than a chocolate or caramel drizzle.
