Description

This paleteria specializes in handmade Mexican ice pops in a variety of flavors, all of them made in Chandler. Betty's paletas are crafted in small batches, using the finest ingredients, but never from canned or frozen fruit juices and never with nasty preservatives or coloring. The seasonal menu features ingredients from the best local gardens, and these fresh, simple ingredients are flavored with spices ground fresh from whole everything and made entirely from scratch. Try the watermelon or the tangy tangerine-you won't be sorry.

Until now. We're decreeing Chandler the new paleta... More »
