Mr. Tino's Ice Cream and Tacos — Restaurant in Woodstock

Mr. Tino’s Ice Cream & Tacos is a true hidden gem. From the moment you walk in, it feels like you’ve stepped into your tía’s kitchen — everything is homemade, served generously, and full of authentic Michoacán flavor.

We came for both the savory dishes and the ice cream, and everything was excellent. The chicken mole was the standout for me: rich, thick, and perfectly seasoned with tender chicken falling off the bone. The street tacos were also fantastic — fresh tortillas made to order, plenty of salsa options (from super-hot to a bright cilantro-guacamole blend), plus extras like pickled onion & jalapeño slaw and huge slices of lime. Everything is served from a place of abundance.

On the sweeter side, the ice cream is unlike anything I’ve ever tasted. We tried key lime pie, angel kiss, mango & chamoy, strawberry cheesecake, and Oreo cappuccino. The difference compared to store-bought is night and day — the flavors are vibrant, fresh, and alive, while still firm and creamy. You can tell each one is handmade with care. The aguas frescas are equally fresh and surprising; we loved the strawberry-coconut blend, horchata, dragon fruit lemonade, and banana. Every sip tasted bright and natural.

The atmosphere is simple and welcoming, more of a counter-service, ice-cream-parlor feel, but the people make it special. We spoke with Mr. Tino himself, who humbly shared his story of making ice cream since he was 14 in Michoacán and continuing his craft here in Georgia for 25 years. The whole staff was warm and genuine — from the helpful cashier who guided our choices to the chef who stepped out for a quick hello.

Prices are very reasonable, and portions are generous. Between the homemade tortillas, vibrant ice cream, and aguas frescas, and the genuine kindness of the people, this spot really stands out. Mr. Tino’s isn’t just a restaurant — it’s an experience of authenticity and care.

Highly recommend this place if you’re anywhere nearby — it’s absolutely...

Great place if you want some delicious ice cream. Home made ice cream at that. They offer samples of any flavor you're curious about and there are plenty of flavors to choose from. The lady we spoke to was very informative and made some great suggestions for ice cream flavor combinations. We enjoyed our dessert outside on the chairs they had set up. Pricing is reasonable and the quality of their products was exceptional. My new favorite ice cream spot! I will be back to try more flavors and their food as well!...

This was our first time visiting Mr. Tino’s Ice Cream and Tacos. The quality of service and the food is outstanding. Very authentic Mexican food. We tried the Carnitas and the Carne Asada and the flavor profiles were amazing. It’s crucial for restaurants to provide a great first impression and dining experience. Mr. Tino‘s ice cream and tacos exceeded our expectations and we will be back. GREAT JOB!!!!

My daughter picked out this restaurant, thank you for the making the suggestion....
