Cucumber Lime

Pepino con Limón

at La Michoacana Tradicional · Pomona

Crisp cucumber and bright lime — the ultimate cooler.

Open every day · 11 AM – 9 PM

If horchata is the creamy agua, pepino con limón is the crisp one. Cucumber gives it a cool, green, garden-like taste, and lime keeps it bright and a little tart. It is pale green and very easy to drink, the kind of cooler that resets your mouth between bites of something spicy. That makes it a good partner for the loaded bags on the antojitos menu, like Hot Cheetos with Corn or Takis Locos, or for a mango paleta dusted with chile.
