Señor Paleta — Restaurant in San Juan

Señor Paleta is the kind of place that makes you forget all your problems—mainly because you’re too busy trying to pick between the gazillion amazing flavors. Seriously, do you go for the tropical mango, the creamy Nutella, or the Ferrero Rocher that tastes like pure happiness on a stick? Answer: yes. You just keep coming back for more.

Walking in, you’re immediately hit with the sweet aroma of frozen perfection. It’s like your taste buds know they’re about to be spoiled. The staff? Super friendly and ready to answer your million questions about which flavor to choose (or just laugh with you when you panic and say, “I’ll take both!”).

And let’s talk about those paletas—handcrafted, fresh, and so delicious they should probably come with a warning label. You’ll be halfway through your first one and already planning your second. Bonus points if you manage to eat it before it melts in the Puerto Rican sun. If not, no worries—it’s just an excuse to go back inside for another.

The vibe is pure fun. Whether you’re strolling through Old San Juan, taking a break from sightseeing, or just trying to cool down in the tropical heat, Señor Paleta is the ultimate pick-me-up. It’s impossible to leave without a smile—and possibly brain freeze from eating too fast.

Pro tip: Don’t let the line scare you. It moves fast, and trust me, the wait is worth every second. If there’s one thing you do in Old San Juan, let it be enjoying a Señor Paleta. Your taste buds will thank you, and your diet can take...

Very adorable popsicle shop! We went pretty late but there were still so many varieties left. Usually shops would run out but this one still had many. Pros: the fruit is SO fresh, and I can tell the cream and ingredients they use for their popsicles is very fresh and doesn't contain too many preservatives or "bad" and artificial ingredients. They also have non dairy options for those who r lactose intolerant Con: a bit overpriced for a popsicle that isn't too big but worth it to try it! Overall, great popsicle store to get after eating a meal because it's not too heavy and is very refreshing. We had a heavy dinner before and wanted something cool to eat in the hot Puerto Rican weather and this...

This is one of my favorite ice cream/popsicle places in all of Puerto Rico. Puerto Rico has a lot of delicious and unique ice cream/popsicle shops, but Señor Paleta is definitely one of the best. It has a wide variety of ice cream flavors and tastes very fresh and flavorful. The customizations for the popsicles are very accommodating and really help you get the best out of your visit. I also have to say this: Good job to whoever created the popsicle holders with the cutout for the handle. That was a really smart thing to do! I hope one day to return and try even more flavors! I recommend to visit this place when in...
