The most delicious paletas I have ever had! We love paletas and don't care much for cake. It was our dream to serve paletas as our wedding dessert and Nancy and her team made it happen! They arrived with a beautiful cart, kind staff, and the most delicious assortment of flavors. We received so many compliments on our dessert and are still dreaming about the pistachio and coconut paletas!

The best popsicles I've ever had!!! Simple ingredients. Amazing taste. Husband and I are self proclaimed ice cream connoisseur. We frequent many ice cream establishments in the bay area. I had a $15 voucher and just asked them to send whatever they have. I got 24 popsicles. 6 each of 4 flavors: Honey fresh Mango, Mexican Abuelita Chocolate, Caramelized Fried Banana, and 100%Organic Raspberry Vegan. Included are nicely presented ingredient list. I seriously didn't expect so much ice cream for that price. When I ate one, I know I had to write a good review. Also really responsive and friendly owner.

I ordered Pepito's Paletas for my company's summer BBQ and they were a hit! Communication with "Fiesta Coordinator" Angie was a breeze and she helped with ordering and answering all of my questions via email. With a 50 count box, you can choose up to 3 flavors. I went with Agave Honey Chunky Mango (vegan), Strawberries & Cream and Abuelita's Mexican Hot Chocolate. For me, the Mexican Hot Chocolate was on hiiiit and if we hadn't been on a shortage of flavors, I would've grabbed a second one for myself. However, I didn't want to be THAT girl, so I let others get in on the flavor. The Strawberries & Cream was good too, but it's slightly less sweet than the Hot Chocolate and since I had the sweeter of the two first, the strawberry seemed bland. The Mango was definitely my least favorite. It was the most natural tasting and less "rich" of the flavors. Probably because it wasn't a cream one. It did come with a small bag of tajin though which I somehow misplaced so I wasn't able to put it on my paletas to try. But for selfish reasons, I may just order more cream based flavors the next time around. Delivery was on time and the paletas stayed frozen in their ice box (additional $25/box) without needing to be put in the fridge/freezer. I would definitely order from Pepito's Paletas again!

I ordered Pepito's Paletas for a work event this week and they did a wonderful job. The paletas were amazing, price was reasonable and it was very convenient to pick up - I live in the neighborhood and was able to pick up the basket that was full of dry ice and stayed very cold. The basket stays frozen for 8 hours so you don't need a freezer. (Note, the pops are not individually frozen!) The packaging and presentation was far beyond my expectations. I liked that you got an attractive label for each flavor of popsicle that had the ingredients, so anyone with allergies or dietary restrictions would know exactly what was in them. Super easy way to have a great work event and I would definitely work with them again! My favorite was the caramelized banana pop (I ordered a batch of "Most Popular" and got kiwi, mango, strawberries and cream, and banana). Note about the catering process, they work with a company called EZCater and I got a phone call from EZCater at 6:30 a.m. on the day of my order pickup which was way too early, but I understand that they were trying to make sure everything went smoothly. So just be aware if you order through EZCater you will get some emails/calls from them as well as Pepito's directly.

Delicious, fresh paletas! I wanted to switch it up for our office treat days and artisan popsicles seemed to do the trick! Nancy was a dream to work with and she delivered the frozen treats on time. Favorite flavors were caramelized fried banana, horchata and mexican hot chocolate.

Mexican Ice Cream??? My search continues for Unique ice cream flavors thus stumbling upon Puddle of the Frogs with their colorful exterior.http://media1.px.yelpcdn.com/bphoto/i2eEgiSh9HkamrHTlU-ugg/l Ive been here twice now, the first time was a bit awkward since the girl working there had her Reggaeton music blasting so loud she had trouble hearing me. I like my Reggaeton music too but its not the best conversation music. After she turned down her music it was all good tho. The second time around the girl was super nice and patient as i sampled and stared at teh different flavors for a lil while before deciding. They have a good assortment of flavors from sweet corn, mamey, tequila, mexican chocolate, dulce de leche and a few more flavors. The first time going i got the mamey ice cream and it was really good, Mamey is a tropical fruit usually grown in Latin American countries and put into milkshakes, ice cream and smoothies. The consistency was a bit thick but creamy and very good on palate. http://media1.px.yelpcdn.com/bphoto/gob2fO1M82cuLfamG2sgsA/l On my second trip i decided to ended up getting the sweet corn and mamey together. They went together very well since the Mamey isn't too sweet and the sweet corn was just a tad bit sweeter. http://media1.px.yelpcdn.com/bphoto/8X9hDcZkijzyVaI5BVaRWw/l Other flavors that i sampled where the tequila which in my opinion had a decent tequila flavor and was not overwhelming. The Mexican chocolate i thought was only ok, the chocolate flavor wasn't as in depth as i thought it would be. Things to Note: They make their Sugar Cones fresh on the spot ( note to self: try one next time) This a South San Francisco GEM, not many ppl know about this place!

Pepito's bright and cheerful hole in the wall is chock full of goodies: breakfast tortas, regular tortas, hot dogs, Mexican coffee drinks, smoothies, juices, milkshakes, chocolate dipped bananas, paletas, snow cones, made on the premises Mexican ice cream, and Mexican candy. There isn't much spare space inside but they've managed to squeeze in some frog toys (for display only, they belong to Pepito). When I see a case full of ice cream, I tend to look in to see what looks good. The flavors aren't labeled though - they're written up on the chalkboard above. I counted 14 flavors - some were traditional like vanilla and rum raisin but they also had sweet corn, sweet potato, mamey (a Mexican melon), strawberry pinenut, Mexican chocolate, rose, watermelon, etc. Ask for samples. I get the sense that the firmness depends on how long ago the ice cream was made. I tried the sweet potato ice cream which she made that morning and it was much softer than the Mexican chocolate that was made the day before. I settled for a scoop of Mexican chocolate ($2.50 for 1 scoop, $4.25 for 2 - the mamey flavor is more expensive). It was softer, fluffier and airier than I'm used to. Mexican chocolate has a sharper taste but the overall ice cream was not intensely flavored. I'd give the ice cream three stars (sorry Pepito). The paletas are $2 and I couldn't tell what the flavors were (you have to ask and I felt too lazy to ask since I had just asked about the ice cream flavors). Snow cones are just $1 right now (I couldn't tell what the flavors were either) and the Pepito size scoop of ice cream is $1. I also had a chicken torta ($6.75) which was very good though the marinated chicken was quite dry. The torta, made with a soft sweet roll was stuffed with generous amounts of chicken (big skinless strips), crispy lettuce, sautéed onions (yum), pickled jalapenos, tomatoes, avocado, and Mexican soft cheese (mild, white). Not too saucy, quite flavorful. They had other types including a bacon torta, honey ham, breaded chicken, etc. There isn't much room to sit inside (1 table, a couple of stools) or outside (a few chairs). You can get your ice cream on a cone if you want.
