Paletería San Marcos — Local services in Dallas

Do yourself a favor and check out this gem. I'd give them 100 stars if I could. The lunch/dinner dishes are cheap (think Taco Cabana prices but waaay better food), tasty and fresh/made to order. They also have a solid assortment of ice cream flavors (some quite unique, all very tasty). We had a banana split last time we were there and got mango, passion fruit and rompope (eggnog) ice cream as our flavors. All banana splits henceforth have been ruined for me as I can't imagine I'll ever top that. But, dear readers, I haven't even gotten to the pièce de résistance. The paletas (popsicles) are made in house with fresh fruit and they are amazing. The only thing they share with American popsicles is the stick, that's it. They aren't super sweet and they don't use artificial flavors or dyes but instead lots of fresh fruit. They come in an impressive number of flavors as well. Our current favorites are piña colada, café, strawberries and cream, banana (and I generally don't like banana flavored foods but this one legit tastes like a frozen pureed banana and it's the best), mango, arroz con leche (rice with milk - rice puddingish) and melon. oh, and the current price of a paleta? $1/ea (after tax) or 18 for $20. there is no better deal around and certainly not if you factor in food quality and...

I really enjoy your selection of paletas and helados, but unfortunately, I had a slightly negative experience during my last visit.

One of your servers seemed a bit hostile toward me. It gave me the impression that she didn’t want to assist me. I couldn't help but wonder if it was because I was wearing a headscarf for my faith, or if perhaps she was just having a bad day. I did my best not to take it personally, as I cannot judge someone's situation. I assume she was the youngest staff member. When I asked about the prices and sizes, she simply pointed at the cups without saying a word. Another lady also gave me a curious look but at least smiled and wasn’t rude.

Thankfully, the cashier was very kind. She greeted me warmly, answered my questions, and served my ice cream in to-go cups as I requested, which made me feel more welcome.

I truly hope this was just a one-time misunderstanding and not actual discrimination, especially since we live in a diverse community where I have otherwise always felt respected. I look forward to giving it another try and hope to continue enjoying your...

I rented a paleta cart for about 150 paletas. The price was reasonable and the fact you get it for 25 helps you make it back in time to return the cart once you're done. All the paletas were delicious! Everyone loved them at our Sweet 16! Thank you guys for making it memorable! Highly recommend them for the paleta carts and all their food...
