Ice cream is to the Mexican state of Michoacan what beer and cheese are to Wisconsin, and this Greensboro dessert shop, owned by a pair of New York-bred brothers and their family, proudly honor that tradition. La Deliciosa starts with a high-quality ice cream recipe (14 percent milkfat), adds hand-chopped fresh fruits, and offers more than a dozen inspired flavors. Want rum raisin with real rum? Youâll find it here, just as you will blackberry, tres leches, tequila, mango, guava, and more. Ice creams are available in cups or cone bowls though if you prefer your dessert in stick form, there are plenty of paletas (popsicles) as well. There are even mangonadas (a mango/lime/chili drink), a somewhat scarce treat in Greensboro.
After much deliberation and the begrudging realization that we couldnât have every flavor at once, my wife and I opted for a small coconut/rum raisin combo and a small strawberries and cream, respectively. The strawberries and cream was rich but not heavy with fresh-tasting berries and hints of white chocolate. The rum raisin puts any commercial equivalent to shame. Without hyperbole, this is some of the best ice cream you are likely to have anywhere.
Given the quality and the fact that everything is homemade, the pricing (just north of $3 for a small cup) is hard to argue with. It also helps that the friendly and accommodating staff will be glad to answer your questions, indulge your display-case gawking, and let you sample (within reason) flavor after flavor.
As of this writing, La Deliciosa offers only desserts. However, the restaurant just hosted an Ethnosh as a trial run for some lunch/dinner offerings. A Dominican-style roasted chicken was magically juicy and flavorful, black beans and rice were cooked to perfection, tostones were wonderfully crisp, and a trio of accompanying sauces paired nicely with everything. When this place gets its kitchen up and running, watch out.
If there is one drawback to La Deliciosa, it is that it is not easy to locate unless you are really looking for it (the spaceâs previous tenant, Los Gordos, shared the same problem). However, if you can navigate your way to the middle of the surrounding shopping center, absolutely phenomenal ice...

   Read moreI ordered dorilocos but they werenât good, Before ordering I asked what they put in it and they told me the ingredients which I accepted and so I ordered it. But I had to leave the place so when I got home I tried it and it was something totally different. I even ordered for them to put on the horitos and they said yes, (I didn't have them) besides that the service was not that good. Also, for me it was expensive.
In addition to the whole food situation, I had asked the girl for a glass of water but she charged my card for a bottle of water which I DID NOT ASK FOR. Los dorilocos que pedi no fueron lo que esperaba, para nada de hecho. Me ofrecieron algo totalmente distinto. PedĂ un vaso de agua y me cargaron a mi tarjeta una botella de agua que no pedĂ. La atenciĂłn fue pĂŠsima, se nota que las muchachas no...
