Paletas y Pistolas

In the early 1940's Ignacio Alcázar came back to his home town of Tocumbo Michoacán after a visit to the US. With him he brought the idea of making frozen fruit pops using locally sourced ingredients.

As with most things, the Mexican people innovated the crap out of the idea and started making frozen pops out of anything they could get their hands on, not just fruit! Horchata, tamarind, mamey, chocolate, chili peppers, and even medicinal herbs.

Paletas are a work of innovative chaos. Enjoy one today!
