La Michoacana GJ — Attraction in Grand Junction

Popped in here for a treat on a snowy Monday afternoon. Such a fun and interesting variety of Latino style helado/ice cream, fruity sorbets, popsicles, and juice/jugo drinks. The flavorful cucumber lime was so refreshing and delicious l wanted to drink a gallon of it. However, this jugo does have quite a bit of sugar in it so you need to be cautious when indulging. I love all things mango so I chose the mango sorbet, while my friend chose the vanilla con pasas. The scoops were generous and tasted authentically homemade. Creamy, flavorful, and quite tasty. The mango tasted like it was frozen chunks of fresh fruit, blended with a little lime juice. I've had sorbets and many places but none could hold the candle to La Michoacana. This intensely pink shop was spotlessly clean as were the restrooms. The staff was very friendly and kind, answering all of my questions about the different flavors. One of the coolest things about this place is they have regular and spicy versions of a couple of the ice creams, including the mango. Some friends and I are planning on heading over there this weekend and I am definitely going to try the caliente mango. Ice cream is amazing year-round, and I highly recommend you check this place out. It's easy to find in the Home Depot shopping center out...

We ended up here because we were looking for real ice cream that didn't come from a chain and we were disappointed when we only had one option. We couldn't believe Grand junction didn't have more real (homemade) ice cream locations. After reading the reviews, we decided to give it a try!

We all had ice cream (coconut, strawberry, Oreo, and caramel). Everyone thought it was pretty good. They had two staff members. One who spoke very good English and Spanish and I feel like she was translating for the other staff member who was more quiet and possibly only spoke Spanish. We thought the staff was very friendly and accommodating and we had no problem asking questions or communicating our order. Conveniently, this place is right next to a Mexican restaurant. If you were looking to have a full Mexican food experience you could fulfill dinner and Mexican treats between the two places. ...

It’s no cold stone, but it’s okay. We came here on a Monday night around 830p and the place was empty—so no line! None of the flavors are labeled so you either have to ask or guess. We got three smalls—one Cookie Monster (blue ice cream with Oreos), one Ferrero Rocher, and one with a scoop of snickers and a scoop of Reese’s. The first bite did have a hint of freezer burn, but after that it was just good, old fashioned ice cream. The store smelled strongly of cleaning products. I didn’t find anything particularly Mexican about the ice cream, but we also didn’t try anything beyond the ice cream. They had what looked like some sort of scoopable drinks and some type of popsicle as well, but we didn’t try them. I don’t imagine we’ll return here unless we’re making a Home Depot run on a very hot day and require immediate...
