Description

A little Culver City Mexican ice cream shop, Mateo's Ice Cream & Fruit Bars serves up paletas, jugos and house-made gelados in a stunning array of flavors. Some of Mateo’s best tastes include tamarind, guanabana or smoky leche quemada (burnt milk), and coffee-and–chocolate ice cream, easily one of the best in the city. The fruit flavors are bright and creative, and the horchata is popular as well but it’s a fickle mistress, given the fact that it’s seasonal. Parking can be tough in the strip mall where Mateo's is located, so consider going with a friend who can run in.

  • 2011 | Best Mexican Ice Cream

    Concealed, as so many L.A. gems are, in our ubiquitous strip malls, Mateo's Ice Cream & Fruit Bars is a small, stunningly colored ice cream shop that dishes out paletas, jugos and house-made gelados in a stunning array of flavors. Try tamarind, guanabana or smoky leche quemada (burnt milk), which tastes like the burnt caramel top on crème brûlée, if it had been cooked over a campfire. Mamey, a creamy Mexican fruit with a subtle flavor halfway between peach and pumpkin, is... More »
