Mary’s Paleteria

I frequent this place… probably 3 times a week. Who needs the Starbucks next door this place when you got a healthier and tastier options like this place offers. I think I’ve brought most my friends here already and they too are in love with it. I always get the tarty Chamango, and it’s the best priced, too. Chamoyadas are bomb diggity, too, and Diablitos. However, the throne goes to the Mangonada, and my friends agree. A great place for fruit lovers, a great place for «limón and chile» combination foods that are ever so popular in the Latino food community. This place is great, and staff is very, very nice every time. A+

Let me just start by saying that this place is GARBAGE! called in an order since our favorite Mangonada place was closed (Nieveria Y Paleteria Penaloza) which is 10 times Better! i asked them if they deliver since i work from 8 – 5 and we wanted to place a large order and she said yes! so we ordered 90 bucks worth of mangoneadas and Tostilocos, since we have people in the office who cant eat spicy foods i asked Mary to customize 3 of those mangoneadas without the chile, she said yes. the order gets here and i notice that all of them have chile on them so i call back and she appologizes and also says that she will send me three mangoneadas WITHOUT chile and also because of her error a PIna Preparada for free the next day. i call the next day like i was instructed to do and try to place my order and the lady at the front says that she cannot deliver the items today that i would have to wait till friday to get my free stuff, (its Wednesday BTW) Again i call the place on Friday and no answer, call again someone answers but quickly hangs up, finally get the same girl on the phone who answered the first time and says we CANT deliver till after 4pm! AGAIN i work from 8am-​5pm i tell her thats not going to work, she gives me Mary’s cell number (who originally took my Order) i finally get her on the phone and tells me that why am i calling her business to complain about 18 dollars?! i was stunned that a business owner would even stoop to this level and answer a customer like this! there were also other things said which i will not post This is not how a business should be ran and i felt so disrespected! Now the Mangoneadas we also terrible, not made with sorbet, or any kind of ice just the mango and tons of chile and syrup not even cold it was pretty gross and if you haven’t figured it out yet i will never order from this place again!

Yessssss. Every neighborhood needs one of these. Salty junk food and delicious sweets to please everyone in the family. Prices are great, selection is awesome, service prompt and courteous.
Its also in front of a high school (well played for a junk food business) so it can get pretty busy after school. Every teenager needs their bag of chips, smoothie and banana split after school.

I am from México, so i know Mexican food and dessert. I drove by this place, coming home from work and decided to check it out. I was instantly greeted and looked inside the store-​they have a selected stock of Mexican junk food at a great price selection. I looked up @ their gigantic menu, and everything looked fabulous. I chose the hotdog which looked fantastic, and it was the Mexican style which in my opinion tastes better than the American version. I got it will all the fixings, and got it to go. It tasted fantastic and reminded me of México. I have recommend this place to all my friends, and have been back since. This place is located next door to Starbucks, and parking can be a bit difficult to find.

I had a craving for a mangonada tonight so I called the number on here at around 9 and the lady that answered the phone told me they were open until 930. She asked if I was going to come by and I said yes, that I was on my way. Well, I get in my car and get there at about 9:13 and the place is CLOSED! the sign outside even says they’re open until 930. I can’t believe the lady told me this and asked if I was coming and still decided to close, knowing she had a paying customer on the way! So unbelievably rude! HORRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE!

I came here to try the infamous Mangonada. The charge the same price as the others except their cup is smaller. The Mangonada itself is not bad. It’s good but not spectacular. They use mango ice cream made by local creamery Double Rainbow which is a quality brand. They don’t skimp on it along with the fresh mango chunks. The only flaw is tha the Mangonada is over powered by the chamoy sauced. Overall not bad but could be better.

I am only giving this an extra star cuz the cashier was nice and friendly and also it’s hard to review if I had only tried one drink from the menu. The place was small and has various of different Mexican snacks around. The tables were all dirty so I doubt they were really cleaning them. The price is a little expensive for the drinks but I guess reasonable for all the product they use in the drink. My friend and I ordered and shared a mangoada. The portion of the drink is pretty big so I would recommend you sharing it. In my opinion maybe because I am not use to all the different flavors they use in their culture but the spiciness and the sourness of the drink did not go together. So it was hard to eat the mango but the sorbet was delicious if I avoided the spicy sauce and the pieces of mangos. I might come here again to try something else but I doubt I will go out of my way to go here.

Great place… Love the fresas con crema! There is a similar place right across the street and Mary’s is much better!

This location is next to a Starbucks I intend to visit soon. As soon as we walked in I noticed the big difference in the décor and thoughts put into this business.
Nice, clean tables. English speaking staff. They take cc. Definitely classier than my original on King.
Although they have very similar offerings they lack that taste and smooth quality in the south of the border ice cream that I learned to love. I look forward to actually visiting them and don’t mind the long line.
There is no long line here. Does my cholo and cholitas know that the ice cream here isn’t as creamy as my original favorite ice cream place?
I’m not impressed with my initial encounter. I’m thinking of going back. Although why should I? My old standby is very reliable.

This is a cute paleteria we discovered after dinner. We felt like ice cream so we took a chance. The service was very nice with friendly treatment. They were patient with me as I tried to decipher all of the Mexican concoctions they offer. In the end I just got two scoops of delicious rocky road in a cup.
The ice cream they sell is the delicious Double Rainbow Ice Cream, a local San Francisco brand. They make all of their cream and sorbet using fresh ingredients, making the ice cream smooth and of high quality. They also offer few basic food items and snacks, as well as, smoothies and fresh fruit juices.
The inside is simple and clean with several tables for dining in. The only rub with this place is that they charge $ 1 per credit card transaction regardless of amount. Other than that it’s all good stuff.

My snack was good, good customer service, they even have a touch screen register. Overpriced for the small cups of fruit that you get, they even charge a $ 1 to use a debit/​credit card. I ordered two items and paid $ 13. Will probably not come back.

I had really high hopes for this place «/​
I ordered the chamangos, chamoyada, and pepino locos. The ice cream in the chamangos were too sweet. It didn’t look like the picture in the menu which was disappointing. The chamoyada tasted like syrup. The pepino locos were «ok». I got the escamocha (fruit) and cacahuates (peanuts). The cacahuates were good. The escamocha ones I couldn’t finish. They just weren’t appetizing. Probably won’t be coming back to this place.

Every time I come here the staff is so nice! Mary the owner especially :) food and treats are delicious as always, I’ve tried almost everything on the menu and the only thing I won’t get again is the diablito because it’s too spicy lol but even then the diablito is sooooo good the flavor is amazing! Thank you Mary :)

Came here today with my daughter and husband. Great environment, clean, fried ly staff! Hubby and I got the strawberry licuado and my daughter got a scoop of ice cream. The menu looks all soo good, prices are reasonable. The lady who made out licuados saw my daughter took mine and told one of the staff to give her the rest of what was left of mine and the hubby’s drinks which was nice of her! I love the feel of this place, made me feel like I was at my mother in laws house. We will be back to try more stuff off the menu! Gracias!

I enjoyed going here after reading the reviews. Brought the family with me and they enjoyed it. Its a bit pricey for snacks but it has a good atmosphere for a small shop — clean, and very friendly staff adds up for the rating.
We got the Duro con cueritas — a big square chicharones loaded with veggies, salsa, cheese and pickled pork rinds. If you haven’t had pork rinds of this caliber then you’re missing out, but then again it’s an acquired taste. ($ 6)
Fresas con crema — translates into strawberries and cream. The cream is thick and smooth, strawberries fresh and the added granola (optional with no added charge) makes this a favorite of my hubby and kiddo. ($ 6)
Mangonada — they blend fresh fruit and then add those mild spice sauce which makes this refreshing with a slight tang… oh this is frozen like a huge popsicle ($ 3)
Chamango — cut up mangoes, topped with mango ice cream, topped with with more mangoes and their spices makes this a sweet delight. It was ok but my brother preferred the bloody mary style mangoneada.
Overall we enjoyed it and will be in our radar when we wanted some Mex desserts.

Friendly Staff, Awesome treats, and over all great experience. I had Pepinos locos, which have cucumbers, stuffed with different variety of nuts, tajin, limon and some other hot sauce, Definably going back in the future, my daughter also loved the ice cread, Raspados, which said it reminded her of Mexico.

I’m not sure when this place opened but Omg! Authentic mexican treats! The torta and raspado I had were amazing!

Chamango aka Mangonada. Its fruit, ice cream, then more fruit with tajin and the spicy, sour syrup. It also has a tamarind-​covered straw.
