Esquimal

at La Michoacana Tradicional · Pomona

Vanilla ice cream bar dipped in chocolate shell — the original treat.

Open every day · 11 AM – 9 PM

In many parts of Mexico, a chocolate-covered ice cream bar is simply called an esquimal, and this is the classic version: vanilla ice cream on a stick, dipped in a chocolate shell that cracks when you bite in. It’s simple and familiar, closer to an ice cream truck favorite than a fruit paleta, and kids tend to go straight for it. If you’re getting treats for a group, it’s the safe pick for the person who just wants chocolate and vanilla.
