Must-Try Dishes:
Paleta (seasonal fruit), Mangonada, Esquites (corn in a cup)
What Makes it Special: A Michoacan-style paleteria that doubles as a snack stop.

Must-Try Dishes:
Pan dulce, Pasteles, Mexican sweet bread assortment
What Makes it Special: A classic panaderia stop focused on traditional sweet breads.

A sweets-leaning brunch cafe where crepes, waffles, and coffee drinks are the core strengths. It lands best as a simple two-item order so timing stays tight and everything arrives at peak texture.
Must-Try Dishes:
Strawberry-Nutella crepe, Waffles, Cafe con leche
What Makes it Special: A brunch cafe built around crepes, waffles, and sweet-leaning plates.
7.8
A low-key paleteria where the move is sampling a couple flavors and committing to one cold treat you’ll finish immediately. It’s a neighborhood stop that rewards simple orders—paletas and scoops first, extras second.
Must-Try Dishes:
Paleta (fruit-based), Ice cream scoop cup, Italian ice
What Makes it Special: Mexican-style flavors with a simple, fast paleteria setup.
